Hola,
Go to Figure Talk thread and look for a thread named "Never fear painting faces again", I wrote that a few months ago, and maybe its to some help for you

Yep, Mark Bannerman is a very talented figure modeler. The faces he paints are just amazing.. there are more articles from him on ML, so take your time and read them carefully. Every article has some pics to illustrate what he is talking about.

Double that! Just amazing..
Today I just started with my Andrea Lucy of the Lamplight figure, and tried oils for the first time. After the base color applied, I realized that I canīt use it in my Schwimmie dio, unless I clear all the paint from it and start again -with acrylics. The colours are just too bright to fit in the scene mainly painted with acrylics. Oils really seem to require patience and skill, two things I donīt have enough at the moment! Maybe Iīll try out oils in some single figure, that will stand alone on a little display...
Nice that there is a whole world to explore, sometimes you just wish to be there already...
