Jyn Erso
Well, this is another Mini-Paint which turned out to take a lot longer than I intended. In this case, I choose Jyn Erso from the new "Rogue One" trailer. There were lots of great hints of scenes to come--AT-AT's on a beach, up-armored Troopers, the focusing lens of the Death Star being lowered into place, a Grand Admiral walking through the remains of a battle field, and the final image of Jyn looking toward the camera in Imperial garb. So much cool potential. We'll see in December 2016!
Just for fun, here is a follow-up to the "Rogue One" trailer, featuring the voice actor of the Death Star Alarm.
The palette was: Titanium White, Naples Yellow (Red Lt.), Yellow Ochre, Burnt Umber, Cadmium Red Deep, Cobalt Blue (Hue), and Ivory Black.
This Mini-Paint was also completely out of control, and took about 3-1/2 hours to finish. Sigh.

STEP ONE: Here are the pencils on a 5-1/2" x 8" toned gesso piece of hardboard.

STEP TWO: This is the first pass, which took about an hour, just laying down the general colors and modelling of the figure.

STEP THREE: The next hour, I was working on the face. Sadly, I repainted it several times, only to wind up in the same general place each time by the end.

STEP FOUR: The last hour or so was spent finishing off the face, the uniform, and all the rest. It is shocking how much of a difference a millimeter one way or another can make in trying to get a painting of a face to look right. Of course, there are still a few spots which are on the other side of the millimeter in question, but it's all part of the learning process, don'cha know. :-)

This was done with acrylic paint on 5.5" x 8" gessoed hardboard.
