Thanks Jed, Buddho. Since I'm not getting much sleep I might as well hit the bunker before work, right? Got some updates coming soon, stand by to stand by.
Cheers, Ski.

Alright, already....................you fine, "patient" fellows, HA!
Highlighting the Coat
Ok, the fun part is upon us. Once the darker shades have been blended it's time to blend in the highlights. An initial medium bluish tone was added to the larger areas needing highlights. After this was blended and feathered a lighter tone was added on all the ridges and creases, slowly working my tones toward the lighter shade of blue/gray. The last highlight is pretty much a full gray tone, just a hint of blue has been added.
Since I'm working the entire upper portion of the torso before I move to the trousers I went ahead and painted the epilates, bino strap, and an initial working of the turtle neck sweater. They will be completed, as well as the white chord from his waist pocket and gloves, before I begin working the trousers. I'm handling this figure by the legs and base all day, so primer touch-up will be needed when the time comes.
Re-shading the recesses
Now the shadows are starting to become accentuated, but we still need more definition added to bring them out. I add a very thin sliver of dark gray, almost a black tone, into the upper portions of all the creases and then feather the oils to blend into the prior shading. This needs to be done very lightly, small areas at a time. It's easy to get carried away and try to rush this portion of the shading. I have to stop and access the progress throughout the process to make sure this step is not over done. As you can see the right side of the coat is starting to take shape rather nicely.
Before I move on to the trouser a final highlighting will be applied as needed to all the high points. Still a ways to go, but we're making progress.
More to follow and thanks for watching. Cheers, Ski.
