Thanks for watching. This was intended as a short video in answer to someone's question about specific artwork I had created so you're right that it doesn't go into lots of technique. I am planning on a more in depth video all about shadows as I know people can struggle. Was there anything in particular you'd like me to cover or include?

@@Joby.Carter Thanks for the reply. Odd that you didn't mention that in the title nor in the video itself... I'm an accomplished signwriter and airbrush artist so, without trying to sound like I know it all, I don't, there's nothing I really need regards shadows. I usually try to adjust the spacing to ensure shadows don't run into adjacent letters, that and ensuring the shadow depth is not so great as to butt up to neighbouring letters helps in most cases. A basic understanding of perspective and vanishing points is key and easily learned. Lots of practice... I'll look forward to your more in depth video

Thanks so much 😀

You can either chalk or charcoal the back of your paper and draw your design through and it will transfer or you can pounce your design on with a pounce pad and pounce powder, you will need to make a series of holes into your design to pounce it. 👍

@@Joby.Carter thank you for your reply. I knew I should invest in a pounce pad so I’ve bit the bullet. Appreciate your supportive vibe as on some of the sign writing groups I’ve been shot down as a beginner trying to learn what I can, hopefully I will be able to enrol in one of your courses, hopefully you can do one during summer holidays (teacher here)

Hello brushes are available from my website, www.jobycarter.com

Hi we use aluminium wood primer for this.

@@Joby.Carter thank you 🙏🏻

Hi Joby. I hope you don’t mind me asking more questions. What would the next layer be on top of the aluminium primer? The main background colour is going to be ivory so I imagine I’ll need undercoat to cover the grey aluminium primer, is that correct? Then would I use a domestic exterior gloss for the ivory background or would I use the sign writing enamel? I would like this project to last as long as possible of course! Thanks in advance ❤

@@RebeccaFreear I would use two Craftmaster Paint undercoats followed by two Craftmaster Paint top coats, rubbing down between each coat of paint. The undercoats would ideally be a similar coat to the colour your are using, Joby has an upcoming coach painting course taking place on 16 July, do come along if you are able as how to undertake tasks such as this will be being taught.

Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it. I’m buying ‘Tips and Tricks’ to help with my project

Thank you

Hi Vicky, I have done some teaching in schools and colleges in the past but it's not something that I do regularly. Thanks for your kind comments. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Thank you, hope to see you on a course some time.

Definitely
