It took me a whole year, but I finally was able to make a video about tips and lessons I learned from painting this thing: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c7MFcLB3ub0.html
@@palimpalim7447 ... yeah, there is a little texture to the paint, but it isn't distracting in person. I actually like the feel of the texture, but that is a personal preference. If you were going for a super smooth paint job it is best to use an airbrush for sure. Decals would give you the same smooth look too. Paint pens, brushes, etc. will always have a little texture. The clear coat smooths it out a little. The paint here is a little thicker than it would be with less colors. Posca pens are great because they are opaque so you can layer colors cleanly on top of each other, but you do have to make sure you cover over completely so that increases the topography of the final paint job.
THE ANGLES THE EDITING THE BEATS THE NARRATION THE DANCING BEARS (not to mention the bike!) this is actual gold😮💨 I’m floored. This is a jaw droppingly amazing video.
This is unreal, incredible, breathtaking, inspiring & life changing all in one. The editing. The drawing. My jaw was on the floor quite literally the entire time.
Oh wow!! That's such a thorough job! I've just ordered some pens and will be following your lead... Thanks for the carbon copying idea, it's definitely going to be a life saver for me!! Big hug from Edinburgh UK.
That is great... have fun! Let me know how it turns out? Also, don't forgot to seal everything with two light sprays of clear coat (a heavy spray will cause the paint to run).
Masterfully done and pieced together I really enjoyed it and am currently about to do a bike myself. I hope it turns out as good. I wana do Rick and Morty myself lol
So modest. Didn’t you almost lose a painting competition because the judges thought your amateur entry was a professional work? When they were told that your piece was one of the other high school entries
Damn you're talented! Probably one of the most complex edits I've seen on RU-vid in a long time. I'd prefer a little less editorializing and low-grade meme-ing since you put so much work into the editing and effects that you should let your work speak for itself. Keep it up man!
Thanks for your honest feedback. I think you're right... I've been on the fence as to whether I should chop down the video and pull the voice over. You might have given me the last push!
@@BikesAndSnacks Like I said you have some amazing potential from music choice to editing and storytelling. If you're based out of DC I just moved there a few months ago so we might bump into each other riding!
@@kevinlui3403 Welcome to D.C. You should check out the noon ride at Hains Point if you haven't already. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IOvTngjrnG4.html
@@BikesAndSnacks Please don't pull it/them. That gave it personality, kept the keen interest keen...well, perhaps made it keener. Great idea. I like doing scribble pictures with/for my grandson. It's all paper, so we use crayons and markers. the old bike is NEXT with your list of equipment. Yay.
Okay so ... Uh, incredible. I just got my first bike as an adult (yoooooo and im only like 36, yoooo) and I was like "I should eff this thing up with POSCA pens" so I wanted to see if someone else did it -- and you did. You did such a sick job, my guy! Also I can't believe how much I love it both with the black lines and without. I think you made a bold choice choosing to put the lines on, but I'm thinking I might actually go sans-lines with a similar color palette. You definitely get a sub from me.
I loved it. I can't draw, but I think I could trace drawings like you did. I can't color within lines, but my sister was really good at it. I do have a bike in my garage that I might practice on. Glad you added the snack. How about making your own snack to go with the video?
id prepare my bike frame (sanded and primed) to send to you if at all possible hahaha (based here in manila). I simply love this! those droplets on the down tube is JUST FIRE.
Hi, I didn't show it in the video, but I added a glossy clear coat over the paint to protect it. Posca paint pens are water based, so they will run if you get the paint wet. If you apply clear coat onto the Posca paint, be sure to do a very light coat first because even the clear coat can cause heavy paint spots to streak/run. I used this: www.spraymax.com/en/products/product/clear-coats-and-spot-blender/2k-clear-coat/
The sketch was made on drawing paper in pencil, then outlined with a Micron pen... to transfer the sketch, I used carbon transfer paper sandwiched between the sketch and the frame. If you trace over the image with a pencil, the pressure on the carbon paper causes it to draw lines on the blank surface (the frame). So, I didn't use a pen... I hope that makes sense.
Clear coat goes on last. Posca paint dries quickly, but wait a day just so you are sure you’re completely done… once the clear coat is on you can’t paint anymore. You HAVE to use clear coat to protect the Posca paint.
Thanks! Posca paint pens are water based, so they will run if you don't seal it with a clear coat. I did three coats of this: www.spraymax.com/en/products/product/clear-coats-and-spot-blender/2k-clear-coat/
Posca paint is pretty delicate… once you are done you need 2-3 layers of clear coat. But, the clear coat will protect the paint. I had it on the roof of a car for 3 hours in a storm in Switzerland and the paint was solid. So far no fading in the sun.
Hi, thanks for watching. The POSCA website says their paint resists sunlight. But, I haven't had a chance to build the bike back up. The humidity in DC made spraying the last clear coat difficult until the winter. So, I won't know until this summer.
Hi, good question. I used 80 pound acid-free drawing paper out of a large sketch pad. But, that is because it was the largest thing I had around. It would have worked with printer paper too, but I would have had to tape a few sheets together. Good luck if you're doing a similar project!
I watched like twelve movies while I did the sanding. You can skip the whole hand sanding process by getting an alumnium frame and have it sand blasted.
It is a pretty big challenge. It took me about 100 hours to strip the bike, sand it, prime it, sketch a design, transfer the design, paint the bike, and then seal it with a clear coat. I made a lot of mistakes along the way. Good luck with your project!
So modest. Didn’t you almost lose an art competition because the judges thought your piece was from a professional? When they were told your piece was from a high school amateur, they voted your piece in a landslide!
