[@w8ngsap]

(ignore this) notes: -use paint pots to keep paint wet -blow dryer -redcoat outline -make sure paint matches -mark ur highlights/shadows

[@koumottslbbh]

extra tip on the double coating outlines: you can also go over the marker outline with black paint to make sure it doesn't pass through that much too : )

[@Linoscatz]

what if the outline is too thin, what do you recommend?

[@jilliancrawford7577]

To add to #6: I have found that it's much easier to see what you're doing to print the lineart reference in a lighter/brighter shade than the lineart itself. I like to print mine in a light blue so I can see the black outlines better. I tried it with black lineart for a reference and I eventually got visually confused of which lines I had already done and where to aim my brush, so I had to switch to something to tell them apart. Maybe I'm the only one who has ever had such a problem, but I figured I'd suggest this just in case it helps orhers.

Best part about acrylic on glass is... if you have a scrap painting all you have to do is add water and the acrylics will come off. I have a glass pallet which I find ironic now that I am thinking about trying the glass painting.

Hey there! I really loved the video and the tips where great too, thank you 😊! I am doing anime glass art too and for outlineing I am using an oil based permanent marker. And for those who can't afford a paint marker ( in my country it's super ecpensive ) you can use an oil based permanent marker just make sure you do several coats until it's all clear. ( at least this method worked for me ). And again thank you very much for the great tips!😁

Great info and so gwapa too :)

[@lynetteackerman3710]

The first time I did glass painting I drew the outline on the front instead of the back ! It's cool because it didn't mix with the paint, but because it's a few milimeters in front of the paint, depending on the point of view, you can see the paint of the other side of the line... So next time I'm gonna do the outline on the back, with the paint, hoping that they won't mix together.

Can I use Sharpie Oil-Based Paint Markers? I have yet to buy the acrylic sheets (not sure where to buy them in my country) so I haven't tested them out yet. If I buy paints, should I test them on a piece of acrylic sheet before I started painting?

[@astha4606]

I am new to this stuff and i wonna try that's why I am watching this

[@sarahvan19]

I should’ve done some deeper research before starting mine... I just finished it, and even though I did the reverse painting and color matching fairly well, I did NOT double coat my oil-based paint pen trace at the start. I figured one was enough and I was wrong! Then with more and more paint being piled onto those outlines, they started getting eaten away basically. It’s not so sharp anymore and it makes me upset because it’s a gift for my boyfriend, but it’s still a pretty good image for a first attempt! I’ll have to try again in the future-thank you for these helpful tips!

[@bacalalyka]

“they started getting eaten away” oooh! that sounded heart breaking... I FELT THAT 😭😔 I’m glad the tips were helpful & good luck on your next one 🤎

[@Rayanna03]

I use to use sharpies on my glass paintings and it always seem to smudge off and it’s not dark enough so I want to buy markers that is dark enough, will stick and not smudge. I’m also going to try it on smaller glasses and clear phone cases, Thank you for this ❤️
