Ultimate fighter IV - step IV.... A layer at a time!

I took another hour or so to apply another coat to this canvas...

I feel I need a few more coats to be satisfied (more nuances are warranted). I did commit to some highlights in an attempt to make the fighters look more real as I'm getting closer to the final stage. I also tried some white drips along the way... which are bound to be modified in some fashion...

Note to self: "The raw linen/cotton canvas is not a tight knit, so it's more receptive to staining. I think it's time to go for more textures despite the use of thin glaze-like layers. This is another frontier for me, i.e., textures with glazes as opposed to textures with impasto paint."
