154 hours of work.
Spent 9 hours painting the chips with a brush. I used Vallejo paints and thinners. And a very thin synthetic brush.
Well, what can I say? I am not satisfied with the result. And everything is not so clear-cut here.
When viewed from the usual working distance, everything seems to be relatively good. And from afar, too, it seems to be not bad.
But as soon as I start to look at the photo in a larger plan, I see that some kind of bullshit has turned out. It doesn’t look like chips. It looks like it should look like - like brush strokes. There should be sharp, torn edges. There should be no rounded strokes or rounded dots. And there should be no smeared porridge. I also didn’t like how the long scratches turned out.
Perhaps a sponge would be a more appropriate tool for “creating” some types of chips.
In general, friends, it turned out somehow like this.
The next stage in drawing chips is painting over light areas with black-gray and brown paints. As I work, I will think. It is possible that some of the light chips will have to be corrected, and something to be removed altogether.
