woodenfeather Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 4. solvent applied with cotton bud to create patterns Nice. I was wondering how you did the blending/ fading with the markers. Good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark poulson Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 They are beautiful! Did you use a photo before you clearcoated, or did you draw the details by hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahawai Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 thanks for the replies! There's no photo finishing involved in this method. the details are a combination of carving, etching in the foil, & hand colouring. attached is a pic of the raw state of the lure. blending/fading done with different toned markers plus solvent applied over to blend them.
