Mysterio the Hypnotist

Pretty happy with this guy. I tried to replicate the paint job shown on the Pulp Figures site, and while my results aren't nearly as good as the professional job, I remain content.

  1. You're definitely improving! These last few figures are showing better brush control and paint control, although your paint does get thick sometimes.

    Freehanding geometric shapes is tough. You could practice them on some dummy plastic, first. Some stars you just draw with fast freehand strokes, which takes some practice. Think of mid-century star shapes, and you get the idea. Even the Star Trek star resembles that.

    Other shapes are best served drawing them very carefully with super-thin paint, just a bit thicker than watercolour. You just draw the outline, and erase it if it's not right. When you get it the way you want it, let it dry. Then when you fill in the shape, the new paint will be less likely to go outside the line your drew because of surface tension. You get a sharp design.
