101st post - Armoured Boromir on foot! (Tutorial)

By

Hey folks!
Here we are for another tutorial and, first of all, just a little apart:
This thing with the tutorials... it doesn't mean that I think of myself as great painter or such... I don't!

 Some weeks ago I was watching all those philosophical videos that Uncle Atom makes (I'm a fan of him and his thoughts) and, in one of them, he recommends us (the painters) to keep a record of what we do... the good and the bad!
In reality, that's the main reason that made me decide to include the "tutorial type" of posts in the blog. That way, whenever I want to repeat a good looking thing I've done before, I can go back to the recorded thing.
Obviously, if the posts are useful to any of you, that will sure make me even happier with the whole thing!

With that being cleared, let's go to business!!!
This model is probably on my top 3 until now!!! Fantastic sculpt and, most important, made me feel like I'm having some progress on my painting skills. I'm really happy with the final result and unhappy with just some minor things that I'm sure I'll be able to improve with time.
