Today I'm going to give you an easy guide on how to create your own Saitama phone case. Wondering who's he? He's one of a kind hero from an anime called One Punch Man, not going to go deep in it as the name says it aaaaaand if you haven't watched it /like tf for real???/ go do it now! I can't even express how obsessed I became with this show, you guys, it's literally GOALS!
Okay, lil disclaimer: I'm by no means a professional nor do I know to do it perfectly. Enjoy it still)
Things you'll need:
- one phone case /doesn't matter old or new or whatsoever/
- acrylic paint: white, brown, black + pink and yellow optional
- painting brushes /big and small/
- a pencil and an eraser
- some surface to mix colours
- polish to help our masterpiece stay in place
Instructions:
1. Get out your phone case.
If it's white you can skip this part, if it's not then clean it and paint a few coats of white acrylic paint until you can't see any other colour showing out. That will for as our foundation. I personally had a very dark green coloured case with some birds pattern; it took me 3 coats to hide it completely waiting about 15-30 min between applying each coat.
2. Creating colour.
That's the part where we're making skin /sorry if sounds weird/.
Basically you just mix a little bit of brown with white. I don't have an exact measurement, just play with until you feel like it's the right colour. Also use yellow and pink yo adjust the colour even more.
Tip: if you're not sure if your colour's right then just find something in your house that has the closest colour to what you want. I use my hand, lol
3. Now, as we have foundation and colour-grading done it's time for the most complex part.
Facial features. You need first to decide how big or small it's going to be. The next step is to look at the image and sketch it on paper /if you feel like doing it/. Now you're ready to sketch it with a pencil on your phone case. Tip: try not to get very messy with sketch because it's freaking hard to take a lot of pencil of acrylic paint, that's why I recommend to do it on paper first. When you're happy with the look just go and paint it bros. Tip: I did the inner colours first and then lined them
4. Polishing.
Okay, this step is optional but if you want to make it all look really silky and stay for a long time than do put some clear polish on top. It will help to smooth any imperfections and bumps and also keep the colours vibrant.
You're done! Congrats! We've made it! Go have a treat and rematch OPM :3
