Hairspray technique;
We need a hair spray. First we paint the first coat, primer on the model. I painted black. Then I used hair spray on all around the painted drum. It looks wet. We wait for 10-15 minutes to dry.
I painted the drum by xf-4 yellow green. It must be a light coat, otherwise it would not be easy to make the effect, the primer could be peel off and we can see the drums naked plastic.
After 10 minuted passed, I wash the drum by tap water. Then I touch some parts by my brush. After some practise youll see that its so easy.
I strach by a toothpick and twezeers
Sponge technique;
Im going on with the same drum.
I will use these vallejo colors. I use water as thinner for these vallejos.
I touch the paint with my sponge. I take more of the paint by the help of napkin. You can see the sample photos.
After that we touch some parts of the drum with this sponge.
Pencil technique;
Its the most simple technique. The only material we need is a pencil. Im using a 2b model pencil worth 2 Turkish liras.(1 USD) Working with it for 2 years.
Just touch the corners and make miracles
By making practise and some patience , everbody can do the techniques . Just dont cold feet and go on.
Cheers, Özgür Aydın...
