Today was a happier day. Mostly because I avoided painting anything on the face. I just focused on the uniform. I was having issues getting the uniform to look like cloth when I realized that when I have 3 or 4 colors not entirely blended, it works. Makes it look more... artsy. And good.
Started adding more details like buttons and highlights. Fun fact: I found it helpful to turn my painting upside down. Crazy? Nope. Sometimes you get caught up in what you think should be there and not paint what's actually there. Turning it upside down takes away that compulsion. Strange. But it worked for me.
Tomorrow I'm going to try a paint medium meant for blending. I really hope it helps with my shading dilemma.
