Painting the Cygnus and battle damage looked to be more demanding than the preceding steps.
Can’t say that it was, really… You do have to be more precise, and know what you will do in advance, but it’s a lot quicker. For any freehand, a separate drawing can help.

Great job Romain. Very courageous of you to take this on. I think its much easier to talk strategy or unbox a mini than it is to do anything like this. I like really defined shadow lines for eyes, so I avoid any washes, as I think it dulls the contrast / edge line. Just a preference thing, but I like a thin pure black edge line to help make the eye pop with contrast. I find that I prefer a glowing eye effect where the eye is almost white with just a hint of color (pretty much what you… Read more »
I don’t know much about strategy, hence the whole painting thing… lol The eyes are exactly the way i wanted them, and i did highlight around them properly… It’s not easy to see because the blue is close to the base color.

Appreciate the reply in detail.
I guess you are going to have to get a sub category or new category for the painting tutorials called Master Class or some such, for the BoW fans that at some point want to take their painting to the next level. That’s a long ways off, but I think some of us would certainly appreciate it. That way you could clearly delineate between Table Top Ready painting techniques and Top Quality techniques. You will just have to clone yourself so you can do both!
No kidding, there isn’t enough hours in a day !
Still, there are already many a master-class on the Internet (even if the really great ones are more epxensive than our backstage pass…), whereas there’s not that many videos for beginners. I’ll do what’s needed first…
