My thoughts are that:
1. paint the joins in black, then drybrush red so you get the armour creases and joins black in the groves.
2. Higlight in a lighter red, or maybe even an orange.
I also think that in the GW manual 'how to paint space marines' there is a section on blood angels that is worth a look.
Also, try thinning the red or using a drying retarder. the paint looks a little glugy in sections so watering it down and doing more coats should leave the marine with a smoother finish.
Finally, and being pedantic, is that a sprue mark on the left shoulder guard?
Now that I've said that, i'll note your working in red which I think (along with white) is a pain. It looks fine so far but I think these pointers should help it look alot better. |
Thanks for the tips, but this is just my basecoat. I just wanted to get some input before I inked it and started highlighting.
