    German Infantry Officer Alpine 1/16

    Hello everyone, this is my current work in progress. The figurine is nicely detailed, so should be fun to paint (sorry for the French titles...).



    I created a scene under Blender to have a reference for lighting from above right as I wanted to challenge myself on some different lighting. Not exactly the same soldier, but the main purpose was to get an idea of where to put highlights and shadows. I plan to create a portion of a bunker wall behind the officer.



    I did an initial sketch with acrylic colors (Atom). The result does obviously not look nice, but helps me get a rough view of shadows. I will then go with oil paints for the final, smooth layer. As you can see, the right side and the back of the uniform are darker than the left side.
