>>6335549>did you do some elaborate masking while hand painting?No, it's all free hand. Mouth is like 4 different paint apps (enamel over lacquer so it's easy to wipe off and start again, and boy did I have to start again).
BTW gold accents are handpainted Alclad and that had to be done right the first time.
>liquid masking you did on her corset and probably other areas, how did you apply itWith a sharp toothpick, very carefully, and it still wasn't perfect so I had to fix the mistakes with a hand brush afterwards.
>do you think shading would be possible for anything but the skin?I shaded her dark red bow and the hair. I didn't shade the skin at all.
