Default Davy - painted

For those of you who thought Davy would look better painted, here he is. I used a light wash for his buckskins and hat, and added a touch of brown to the hat by dry-brushing it...probably can't see it in the photos, though.

I know that you had fun carving and painting him. I'll bet that you sang "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" all the way through the process!
