Hoping for the Best
Besides washing the Munny's pieces with dishwashing soap (can use any soap that foams), I didn't do any other prep work (gesso or sand) before working on the mini Munny. I then used a graphite pencil to draw on the vinyl toy and used the marker right on top. I put down the grays first, so that I could use the black to smooth out the outlines. The acrylic markers go on opaque, so you can use the gray on top of the black. You want to avoid reworking an area multiple times to reduce marker overlapping, to avoid acrylic paint buildup and caking. As I was progressing I noticed that the mouth I drew was a bit too low and wasn't wide enough, making him look a bit goofy. I decided to paint over it, which turned out to be a good decision. Biggest stress was to draw the straight lines for the hair on a rounded surface. There's a few imperfections, but it turned out well overall. Next step to finish off the piece is to clean up some lines, add the knee swirl marks and apply a matte finish before submitting to the kidrobot MunnyWorld MegaContest.
