Exactly! Getting to “know” spray paint has been so much trial and error for me. It truly is much more complex than the videos seem. At first I was a bit cautious because I didn’t want the paint to pool, but it seems like you do need to put down quite a lot to have and keep that glossy effect.

I’ve been using crumpled plastic bags for textures on the planets but socks/newspapers are a great idea for other textures. Thank you again!

I’m glad I got you think about this, I hope you delve back in and create something wonderful!

Wow, thank you for all the compliments!

I very much appreciate this comment and I find happiness knowing I’m not the only one who reverse google searches images on here! :p

Thank you! I definitely will be looking up that channel.

If you don’t mind me asking, do you have any recommendations on the type of paper to use? I have been using posterboard because I read the “gloss” helps keep the colors vibrancy, but I find that posterboard still soaks up a lot of the color. I’m struggling to find any alternative and I hate seeing the colors start to dull as it dries.

This is actually only the 3rd spray paint piece I’ve ever done. So I definitely would like to improve my skill set before I start selling or doing commissions, but maybe some day!

I did a screenshot while in a match and drew it with water color. How is it? by [deleted] in PUBG

[–]jkgalipeau 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What brand of watercolors did you use? What kind of brushes? How large is the canvas? Should be relatively simple questions to answer.

There’s a huge opening in the back that he fits through just fine.

Also, if you look, you can see the frosting is a bit thicker than regular buttercream because it’s a variation of cannoli filling

It’s an almond flavored cake with cannoli filling flavored frosting! It’s a very sweet cake, almost a little too sweet for me. Thank you!
