making panels?

Post by Digger1 »

I'm trying to create panel lines on the existing raised lines on the Galor but I'm finding it a bit difficult. What I'm doing is taking a piece of post-it note and applying it to the line and drybrushing a somewhat darker color on the line and lifting. There is a nice line but it doesn't look quite right somehow...too chaotic, I guess.

Anyone offer some advise on how to do nice panels without an airbrush?

Use the same trick, but try pastel chalk. You can mix the colors, and if they're a bit too heavy you can remove with some kneaded eraser judiciously applied. It will give you a lot of flexibility

You'll need pastel chalk, a sharp knife, an old paintbrush (soft) and a little container.

Just shave some dust into the container and pick up with the brush, then gently grind the dust into the surface.

You will need a matte finish, it won't stick to gloss.
