Shades/lights, Faces

I moved on from the color blocking to initial shades/lights and faces. Some choices were around colors. The Most references show the shirts/hose and liveries with a very dark blue color. Indigo was too rare/expensive for clothing an army. The traditional blue color was from Woad. Woad was not a saturated dark blue but more like faded denim. Same with the red. The most likely source would be madder red. madder red was the cheapest dye/fabric, (the reason behind Britain's iconic red coats). madder red fades to pink/orange for lights. Neither of these is a match for most artist renderings. So that means working up a range of blues and reds to differentiate between class based access to dyes and articles of clothing. Not an issue with the pennant as it was Edward IV's royal banner


Most of the blues have been fixed, Still working on the reds. Next up finish the faces, refine equipment,
