Spidey
without his webbing just doesn't look right. May have put too much yellow in the
highlights, we'll see when I come to do the finished. Cadmium Red, Chrome
yellow, Burnt Umber are the colours I used on the red...with a little white
too.
.........................................................................Now
the last bit.
With
the webbing I like to only use black (Mars Black) in the shadow areas. Over the
midtones I add some red and over the highlighted areas the webbing is actually
an orangey colour. I think it adds depth to the figure, helps to make it look
more three dimensional. I ended up having to rework the eyes a bit, add more
blue and brown into the darker areas of them. Also, the explosion was too
unsaturated. All I did there was add some darker greys to it and it popped into
the foreground.
When
finished and dry I add a layer of Liquin over the painting, it gets rid of the
dull spots that can appear in the dark areas and also protects the painting
acting as a quick varnish.
That's
it.
It truly is amazing watching this come together, layer upon layer
