Very informative i also had the problem of google searching how to apply 2D art to my Dragon Ball figures/statues. Unfortunately seems like a lot of gate keepers of this art style lmaoo so its like a observe and learn type thing but with much research i was able to find a couple really good informative videos including yours now! Appreciate the thoughts and tips love the community surrounding this art style🌎

@NotSoAverageBuilder Год назад

Thank you! I pretty much just kinda guessed at it because I too couldn’t find a single piece of useable informative videos on this lol there were a few Japanese builders that showed some parts but not at all what I was looking for lol

The imperfections make it look more anime for some reason

@mikenickerson3433 5 месяцев назад

@crossaim12 4 месяца назад

Its because anime is handrawn and the more imperfections the more "handrawn" it looks

@BlitzMekanika 4 года назад

I’d use Higgins Black magic ink for panel lining. It’s the most saturated pigment for black. I’d then use either Nulin oil shade or apothecary white contrast paint for shading, the white and what every red acrylic paint matches the source image best.

You need to get together with "itsagunpla" for a collab video. That's what more of the community needs is builders/painters working together

@NotSoAverageBuilder 3 года назад

That’s what makes it so difficult lol ESPECIALLY If you painted before this. Sharpie comes off with alcohol and some light rubbing this can activate acrylic layers and remove them. So just be extra careful and practice on spare parts

Dude! That is great! I'm new to fine tuning my gunpla and this is definitely something to consider especially since I'm trying to find my signature style. Would you have any pointers for bringing out the details in something black?

@NotSoAverageBuilder 4 года назад

Thank you! Oh yeah man it’s always nice to take a style and tweak it and make it your own! When working with black you can highlight with a semi bright blue, or even a blue gray to make it pop! I would lean more on the blue/gray side though, something like P3’s gravedigger denim color or SMS’s blue/grey are two colors that come to mind

For anybody reading this, do this with a Gundam marker. Sharpies end up having a purple effect

You are 100% correct. I didn’t learn this until after I finished the video but if you clear coat over the sharpie it prevents the purple effect from happening

For the flat armor panels, you're not panel lining right? You trace the inner and outer lines of the indent?

The short answer...very carefully lol the long answer, I would get a brand new sharpie and go very slowly over the hard edges, and really take your time. I would get a non water based clear coat and apply it over the parts first (that way you can take some rubbing alcohol to remove any mistakes) It is just going to take a lot of time to do
