If you wet sand will the painted and stuff come off in between?
@CourtJonesАй бұрын
I think it depends. You must use very fine grit sandpaper and very light pressure. Or the sanding may damage or even remove layers of paint. After looking back on this project, I don't think wet sending is the answer to a perfectly smooth finish with this method. I think the key would be to make sure that the white glossy enamel layer (which is done right after priming) is a smooth finish in the first place. I think the Testors glossy white enamail spray paint that I used laid down too many bumps. The solution might be to find a white glossy enamel that could be applied with a finer mist using an airbrush.

I love this drawing, Court. I bow my head to your mastery of strokes. The approach to try and sculpt the form with one set of lines (hatching) without the need to cross-hatch for getting darker - and your ability to pull it off, are amazing. Very inspiring for me in my own travels to mastery. Thank you very much for sharing! 😘

i am going to try this with my buddhist statues at the temple. any idea how i can seal it to make it last longer ?
@CourtJones2 ай бұрын
The great thing about this technique is that it seals and protects as it tints. The color tint is mixed with acrylic varnish, and the varnish is an excellent protective barrier. Especially if you do three or four coats of it, you're making the surface even more resilient against the elements.

CAN A PERSON USE THIS TECHNIQUE ON FURNITURE ?
@CourtJones3 ай бұрын
In concept, definitely. But if you have to cover a large area of surfaces, it may be very tedious if you use the types of tools I show in this video. Those are best for small scale items. For furniture I would recommend working with larger tools, batches of paint and focus just on one distinct section at a time (like one side of a cabinet only or one arm of a chair) because the acrylic polymer varnish dries kind of quickly. And if you try to brush over areas that have started to dry slightly, you could get streaks or uneven application.

You mean, what did I use for the grayscale painting I created in this stream? It looks like I used a couple different ones that I don't currently use in my workflow. But they're similar to a couple of the brushes in my own brush set I offer for sale on Gumroad. Just search for my name there for my PS and Procreate brush sets. The brushes in my set that are most similar and useful for this type of sketch painting are the ones I named "Quick Round Painter" and "Natural Velvet Round" and maybe the "Laguna Filbert" brush.

Sorry to say that I don't have any experience with that. However, I imagine it could work. I don't know how your alcohol inks are formulated. If they're pigment-based, just be aware. I think ounce for ounce, dyes are more potent than pigment based inks when mixing into something like the acrylic varnish. Some trial and error will help you figure out how much to add to properly tint the varnish.
