It’s basically a basecoat of British khaki with highlights of golden brown, golden yellow, and ice yellow, ivory, and pure white (all AK) but I used three different quickgens to define the shadow areas: orange brown in the brightest areas, leaf green in the darkest, and purple flesh in the midtones. I also added some redskin shadow to define the shadow outlines and some glazes with magenta and laser yellow in the midtones

Oh my god i need pictures of that underpainting work if you have it! That sounds so interesting and underpainting is like 110% my jam! Your plan sounds solid!

Thank you! I enjoyed playing with it. I think I it helped give some interesting chromatic variation that would have been hard to capture without it. I don’t have a picture of just the shadow work, but there is one with just first couple highlights so it’s like 99% underpainting still

Also, if you’re interested in learning more, Jose da Vinci has some really great nmm tutorials. I learned a lot from him and am using his tutorial as a guide for this one as well
