How to add shading and details with your paint to make your 3D print pop!
We are back to basics! Painting 3D Prints for Beginners tutorial series featuring a super awesome "The Thing" chibi. Welcome to the third part of this four part series on 3D printing and painting basics. In this series, I will be taking you through the entire process step by step to create an amazing painted 3D printed work of art.
We are ready to add shading and details to this "The Thing" chibi. In this video, I will show you how to use your paint for shading, highlighting, and detail. I give you the exact techniques I use to bring my 3D prints to life! I also explain how to place your light source to give it extra dimension. Then we will add some extra little details to make the 3D print really stand out and finish the main part of the model. But don't stop there! Part 4 will show you how to add some pizazz to your base to give it that little bit extra..oomph!

[@jbvoices8972]

I can see how the minor details came out in the end with your line brush. However, I did have a question about the dry brushing. You decided to do darker shades under and brighter ones above as if an artificial light is hitting it. Was this a personal choice (IE: your particular style)? Because this is an actual 3D model, wouldn't you want to make the skin all uniform and let the natural light capture highlights and shadows?

[@nickholl]

for the black lines on the teeth - do you think a black marker pen would wok just as well? I find them a lot easier to control.

[@teabagNBG]

nice tutorial! i watched all three... can u actually prime it until u cant see layer lines? on the white parts and on the pants u can see layer lines too much for my opinion :D

[@silver_3d24]

Great master class! So, Decoart Americana.. Is it a good alternative to the usual brands that are more expensive and barely exceed 17ml? Does this brand have good coverage? I'm interested in having it account.

[@MatthewBrinkley]

Do you use a clear coat? I primed my model before painting, though the acrylic paint easily scratches off with a fingernail.

Everytime he does something I'm like Bruuuh he's messing it up. Nope just making it better. Incredible work would have love a part 4 but I appreciate the work should really have more views. Thx for the time.
