\"mikeWritten by Mike Lamble<\/span>
\nIn my last blog<\/a> I stated ” no problems so far” but there was always the possibility of encountering something hidden I hadn’t noticed, this was the week I saw it for the first time.<\/p>\n

I started to paint the shadow cast by the hair over the eyebrow and down the side of the face then I noticed the distance from the corner of the eye to the edge of the face was slightly too wide, it was looking at the space between the eye and the shadow it became evident there was too much space.<\/p>\n

Probably no one would notice but I knew I had to change it which meant the whole length of the face on the right hand side as we look at it had to be narrowed then re-painted and blended into the existing paint, took a couple of hours to fix.<\/p>\n

Not a disaster just a hassle which means I have to wait to let the paint dry for a few more weeks before I can start glazing the skin colour over the tone. Scrapping the Iceberg as it were.<\/p>\n
