surgeonsss

I'm working on this character called 'faceless surgeon' for an outside project (i.e. not my ideas...). But so far I think my painting isn't up to scratch with the sketches. I mean, I really wanted to create a sensation of skin, but it's not in my ability so far (from off the top of my head), and after doing a little research to find images I could use such as burned/mangled/skin grafted faces.... well, I chickened out. When I'm not feeling so sqeemish I will get back to it.... coz right now the painting looks good in some places but the face lets it down big tiiiime. imo. and I'm not telling what that knife is he's wielding... yet. hohoho
