Sir, that is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I am interested in the way you paint the contrast on the golden leash, how do you do it?

I didn’t photo this progress but I’ve made a tutorial on Sketchbook,hope it will help

[syh]

Just perfect. May I ask how long did it take to get to this piece of art?

Can’t figure it out but I think 40h maybe? What a lazy painter

[syh]

Well, everything that's needed to say is said above and i can only agree.
This isn't mere minature painting, this is art! It just needs the base to be finished.
I have questions too:
1. How did you do the reins?
2. Did you paint Ney and the horse separately and then glued them together and then added the reins? or...?
Anyway, my deepest respect for such an achievement and level of detail in this scale.

1.the reins below are simply made of paper.



And the part Ney is holding is made of copper line



2.Your surmise is right! I painted them separately and then added reins, but I paint the highlight of the reins( paper part)after they were added to the Ney’s hand

I failed to mention what I find so sublime is how smoothly the transitions in value are done. They flow smoothly like water, very rare indeed.

This is also what I think about this masterpiece. The best place for it should be a museum shelf. An incredible and almost non-human paint job on this figure, syh. Just the same than in all your other works. Very very very well done.

Best regards.

Emm I started paint 1/72 figures in about 2016-2017, so 5 years I think
