Sweet Modelling

Session 1: Just adding clay for basic human shapes...Right now he looks too sweet, I'll deconstruct it to create an "ugly fatherless person"






Session 2: William Frederickson Is getting older and uglier; his hat has expanded a bit too... 






Session 3: That's where I've left it. The clay is basically in its place and now detail work starts...

Modelling Sweet William

I left it here... I added some details on his uniform






A well deserved rest... and some work with that wig






I polished surfaces with sand paper and files






I added more details on his clothes











That's it. it's ready to be painted

[Jip]

Nice work, I have really respect for people how can sculpt what they want. But is the face not too rough? I don't know the guy so I can be that his face is like that offcourse

[Avgas]

But is the face not too rough?

Wellington about his own men, 'I don't know what they will do to the enemy but by God, they terrify me.'

That bust is looking about right to me. Terrific work.

Thanks mate Sweet William is an ungly tough-rough bast**d full of scars; you don't wanna face him in battle But I'll polish a bit more his complexion before painting

Thanks mate! I guess rough is an understatement to define Nosey's veterans They loved their duke though

Sweet Colours

That's where I left it... I added strings on his hat











I primed the bust






I used blue and two different green colours






I airbrushed the wig with light grey and sand yellow






I also airbrushed his face with a flesh base colour











I went on adding colour details...






Lights were drybrushed over shadows











His eye was painted






Almost there...






I added brass and... just a dark wash was left...







FINAL REVEAL: SWEET WILLIAM

Thank you Andy!!

Brilliant work.

Here's a photo of one of the combatants at Waterloo who looks just as scary as the bust. Looks like he still has a thousand yard stare.
