digip Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Good first try but I would rethink it and try again. Start with the red 5, then tape it off and applye the white for hak. Then tape it off leaving the 5 taped off and then apply the black. remember to sand between coats. Then clear coar it when finished. Also, don't get so close to the mouse with your camera nd try using a light with no flash on teh camera. Seems to be giving a bad glare from your focus ranges. If you have a macro setting, then get closer, but you would need a tripod to not get the ghosting/blur effect when up close. Human hands shake no matter how steady you try to hold it.

nullspace Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Looks like shit. WE CAN TELL ME HAVE GOOD SUPPORT ON THIS FORUM Modern psychology belief says that negative reinforcement is good. And I agree it looks really sloppy. I would suggest stencils and spray paint next time. If you are not an artist I would suggest you stay away from (what looks like oil paint) hand painting.

metatron Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 At least digip had the decency to explain how to do it better next time. You can get paint markers which can make it easier. http://www.monstercolors.com/store03.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nullspace Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 what was your stencil made from? I have had luck with manila folders. And I agree artist tape works well too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 When I used to live with a graffiti artist who made his own stencils he always went with thin sheets of plastic and a hot medical scalpel. Worked really nicely for flat surfaces (like the side of a pc case). For odd shapes he'd always use masking tape and a scalpel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbumface Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 i used contact for the stencil, and cut it out using a stanly knife cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
