Here's an example of my Materia's front hair piece. I'd shaded the left and the right is just matte coated.
I'm building Innocentia now but am waiting for good weather to spray and may be able to make a tutorial.
>>6334584>>6334569Chalk pastels are my preference and I don't use anything fancy. Sure, good ones are pricey, but I'm pretty sure the set I picked up was no more than $5.
>base matte coatThis is pretty much so whatever you want to shade with sticks better. Too shiny = not enough grip or grooves for the pastel to latch onto. They refer to the ability for things to stick as 'tooth'.
>pastelsCheap. Brand I use was mungyo. Get soft or chalk pastels. Oil is a nightmare. If it's soft enough, you can dab a paintbrush directly on it to pick up some color. You can also make blends by shaving the side of the pastel with a razor and getting a fine powder.
>You fuck up?As long as you haven't sealed and it's a minor fuckup, grab an eraser. I use a kneaded eraser because I can get it into smaller places. It also helps soften up harsher areas.
>final sealWhen pleased, seal it with the matte coat. I personally use Mr. Super Clear Flat. Short spray bursts from 20" or so away outside and try to wear a mask.
