Now let's take a closer look at the information, e.g. the Face tutorial where they use the Andrea 54mm Elf. First of all...what is a "veil" ...? It's no use to throw in vocuabulary that is probably translated 1:1 from Spanish and that noone else uses...my best guess is that "veil" means "wash with very very much dilluted color" but then again they use "veils" also for highlighting which makes me guess again "cotroled strokes of very very much dilluted color". I am not smarter than before, all I have is pretty pictures to look at...
and what is "Toasted Shadow" ...? with some reverse Engineering my best guess is that it is "Burnt Umber", however the number (VMC 941) doesn't apear in the list of colors at the end of the page...on the contrary we have "Hull Red" in that List which is not used at all...it is all really missleading...
Then - it's only really a minor thing but what if it happens at an important part of the text - they want to discribe how the hair was painted and talk about "the skin" after we just finished the skin...brrr...
Now the Tutorial about Robin Hood. The Shirt is basecoated in Komando Khaki+Vallejo Bone, ok. then let's do the shadows, of course we add some Blood Red to the Shadows of the shirt because the base color containes some green...rrrrrrrrrrigh...khaki...bone...where's the green again...? or do they mean...shadows CAST BY the shirt...I don't know...
I am only through these two so far and I already am disapointed
The book is so promising with all the step by step pictures, but the text is a letdown. it reads like some steps are left out when you compare the text and the corresponding picture sometimes...didn't know where to put this...
