Steps

1. 1

   Before you start

   I've put 3/5 I specify that this is my point of view on how difficult it can be- so beware. Personally, I have years of practice in what I can give you, so sometimes my opinion may be a little wrong. But I'm gonna try to be as honest as possible. Also, everything is sorted in order of difficulty!

   
2. 2

   Poor, but it's okay

   Nothing should prevent you from being able to craft... let alone your lack of equipment. And as king of rats, these are my tips. - Get the trash. Yes yes... go to landfills or just get your own waste... that makes you free materials. - Pick up the boxes from the shoppers, get them rid of, and you got some gogo cardboard. - Search your parents and grandparents: they often have unsuspected stuff that is very useful (I've picked up my paint knives like that) - The GEEV app is an app for bartering and giving. Personally, I'm picking up a lot of stuff with that! And it allows me to get rid of useless stuff too:') - Vinted, the refreshments, empty attic etc.... for very low prices, it could be a solution

   
3. 3

   Clamping

   One of my favorite effects is splashing (blood in general). Of course I have a technique for that. Matos: - an old toothbrush - paint (water) - water • Prepare your paint color. I recommend in a plastic tray, and not on a pallet (we won't do with cleaning either?) • Mix with water: your paint must be well liquid, but don't put too much, otherwise your splashes will be too translucent. • Rub your toothbrush hard in your paint: the goal, hang as much paint as possible in the brush hair. • With your thumb, rub the hairs of the toothbrush to spray the area where you want splashes. • If you want big tasks: load your brushes well, and shake the TOU DESSUS from the sprinkled surface.

   Lets be mooooooth

   I'd like you to meet your best friend, the cork coating. I found out, I swear, it's magic. Above all, if you, like me, tend to fuck Scotch and glue everywhere, which makes you bumps and not pretty marks... You spread it like butter in a big layer everywhere (cf. 2nd photo), and when it's dry, you sand... and it'll give you a smooth surface. You can easily find these coatings in the DIY store. They are sold in large pots or powder to mix. Personally, I have a 1kg pot in my house, pre-made... It's better: at least you're sure the mixture is the right one. It drys in a short time, usually, 24 hours, see less. Personally, it's tjrs 24 hours, because I spread it in big diapers. For sanding, use small sanding stones. But pumice paper is good too! It spreads well with a paint knife! And sometimes I go straight with my fingers.

   

   
5. 5

   Textile paint

   Textile paint is expensive. But it's so useful... Acrylic paint + softener for clothing = textile paint. > with this technique you can have all the colors you like! For quantity: go to the eye frankly.. perso I make 2⁄3 paint for 1⁄3 softener, see a little less... Little happiness luck. To make sure it's soaked in your fabric, have an iron bite on your design. Just put a baking paper on your design when you iron... at the risk of getting you with paint on your iron... Textiles suitable: - cotton - jeans/toile - flax - certain synthetic materials. If it is too "plastic effect", it will not hold (genus satin, leather etc...)

   
6. 6

   Molding

   When you do craftsmanship and cosplay, usually the main object, it's our own body. So it's good to have a replica of his body so he can work our craft without doing it on himself... Matos: - cellophane (prerequisite) - big scotch (prerequisite) - scissors (prerequisite) - a second human (recommended) • Pack the parts of your body that interest you in cellophane. Squeeze! • Scot everything: really make a second layer over the cellophane. • Once finished: cut in the height to get out of your plastic prison. - Don't go there like a dog. • Scoot your mould on board. Personally, I did everything alone... but having someone to help you, especially the packing part, is the bonus... You can do the casting at one time, or like me, in several parts. Don't forget to mark everything: the top and that it is part of the body!

   
7. 7

   Metal effect

   For this purpose, I recommend working with acrylic paint. And if you have to invest in a single posca: silver. First, you make a dark grey base, quite dark. Then create a mouse/medium grey (see 2nd photo). And with a SEC brush, you rub the whole surface with this gray. Then decline your gray with different saturation: more or less dark. And make your friction dry, with tjrs the same brush: it will mix more or less all the greys, but keeping them distracted from each other. For a brilliant effect, take your silver posca, and empty it on plastic (not everything). And with your finger, rub the most surfaces in the light of your object. To give depth; I like to put some parts in black full to show that the light does not reach these areas. Being regulated is not mandatory... it will be more natural!
