Reproduction Art on Skateboard

Hello, in this project, I will do reproduction art on the skateboard. I saw the picture of the artist paint on the back of the skateboard, It’s look cool, so I will attempt to make it. 

1.   Skateboard (normal size).

2.   Acrylic paints (I use the paint as in the picture: red, white, blue, green, black, brown, pink, and orange).

3.   Sand paper, pencil, eraser, ink pens, brushes, and matt clear spray.  

1.   First, prepared the board, I need the sand the graphic paint off. Make sure that the surface smooth, clean the surface. Next, I enlarge the picture, and print on A4 paper, as the same size to the board as possible. I cut and adjust the paper according to the length of the board, then I trace all the lines on the board. Next, I apply the matt clear spray on the board 2- 3 coating, let it dry, and clean the surface, before painting. 

1.   I print color of the picture A4. Before, I start painting, start from the top, I paint one color at the time,  I paint blue, the first coating will be lighter color, then add the second coating, and more coating. The Important is to apply the first coating and when apply second coating the paint will build up much better. Next mix up the turquoise, and do the same steps. Make sure that mix enough turquoise, and do next color. For the Sakura flower, I apply the light pink (as a dots) and apply pink, and pink add a little bit of red.  The small brush, when I make the dots, it looks like a petal. For the other color is the same process, when apply the colors.  

1.   The white fur is a little different, when I apply many coating of white, the small detail lines will disappear, then I draw the line by using a small tip ink pen, and for the outer thicker line, I use a bigger tip ink pen. The details of the body are need to have shadows, I use the same color and add a darker color of the same tone, by apply one coating at the time, if need more then add more coating. Last is to carefully look at the painting again for some small details that, I might miss in some area. Next, I placed on the top of night table and took some pictures, it can be hang on the wall in any rooms. 

Thank you.
