okay, after a night of drying he still isnt dry

here are some pics that show some detail in the skin. The yellow areas are the dry areas and the white areas are still wet. I need to figure out a way to make closed eye lids....

i like the eyes shaped the way they are... all sunken in and such... but i don't know what kindd of finished product you have in mind

I was going to go with the eye socket like it is, but after looking at some real mummys and other corpse heads, I think eye lids will really sell it.

think throwing a small layer of latex on cheese cloth might work for ya?

Okay.......got three colors of acrylic (water base) paint, Raw Umber, Titanium White, and Mars Black ($4.49 ea) and started painting it today. I first used brown diluted in water to make a thin wash. I made a few passes over the whole thing to get a decent base coat. Then I used the black to darken the brown and did another darker wash. Then, I made a thicker Raw Umber wash to put on it on the higher raised areas to bring out some detail. Next I will do an even lighter Raw Umber/white wash on it to really make the details pop.
Here are some pics after the first coat/wash, it's still wet so it kind of looks like a burnt head....

Okay, after a night of drying I got to work dry brushing the raised parts of the head. I took the Raw Umber and the white at a mix of 3 to 1 then used a foam brush to dry brush the whole head. Heres what it looks like..

I think it'm pretty much done with this unless something pops into my head that this really really needs......

Thanks Adrian, I cant wait to see your project! The more I look at this thing the more it looks like something the dog dug up out of the yard. You know what it could have used tho...........ears.....

i think you did correct by the no ears thing.. don't ears deteriorate over time?

good point, it's cartilage just like your nose and I didnt include a nose so I guess the ears rotted away too
