I continued practicing painting eyes with Rex, Dark Future Hero<\/a>. Before I go on I want to point out the difference in detailing between the Bones version of Rex and the pewter version of Rex<\/a>.

As with the Andre Durant <\/a>miniature, I practiced the eye painting techniques from Dr. Faust’s How to Paint Miniature Eye<\/a> video on YouTube. I also continued trying the good Doctor’s flesh shading techniques. I was very pleased with how the eyes turned out on this one which is why I finished painting it. I’ve started the eyes on dozens of miniatures as practice. I was also pleased with how the flesh shading turned out, it’s nice to see that I’ve made some baby steps forward.<\/p>\n

As a footnote, since I like to cite my sources, Rex like so many of my miniatures is from the original Reaper Bones Kickstarter<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
