A tip for those who want to use acrylic paint and and dealing with cracking: don't use water to thin your acrylic paints. Use an acrylic thinning medium instead. Water weakens the molecular bonds between the polymers, but thinning medium is also made of polymers. A tip I wish I'd known when I first started using acrylic paints myself.

[@DrawninjaKC]

That is valuable information, Dawn. Thank you for sharing it.

[@user-fm1nz9ik3l]

I don't thin the paint so that the back of the glass doesn't show, but when I do this, brush marks appear instead of looking smooth. Can't I fix it without thinning the paint? Guess I can't buy a thinning medium.

[@itspenny159]

I recently took up glass painting. I've painted a few phonecases, given them to my friends as presents and I'm doing an art account where I post my work and man I cannot emphasis on the point where he mentioned where this aint easy. CUZ. IT. ISN'T. Colour matching takes SUCH A LONG TIME. Came here to figure out why my paint tends to crack but now that I realised it may have been too thin, I'm ready to make changes. Thank you so much for this realistic video. I really appreciate it :)

6:58 this one is sooo true 😭 i watched everyone do it and they make it look so easy, so i was like: this wont be hard. Yesterday i started tracing Howl and my oh my it took me hours fr. The lines got crooked or not opaque enough, and the toothpick and water+tissue became my best friends. (I am a perfectionist) I kinda broke my back during this proccess but whatever, as long as the results turn out well. Today i started painting with acrylics. I did blend the right shade pretty quickly, but i didnt make enough and even though i thought i put a thick enough layer its still not opaque enough in some places. I have finished about 20% of painting in HOURS. It might not turn out perfect, but I guess the flaws wont be seen from a distance:') Nobody told me it was gonna be that hard😭 Guys, dont expect this to take 10 minutes 😭😭 (Btw it was fun and relaxing thooo)

That’s actually not a bad idea for a video. But I’ll tell you now the enamel paints have many colors. I hardly have to mix to get colors. But when I do I usually buy the thinners. Pour them into a bigger bottle. Then use the empty thinner bottle to mix the color I need because for some reason I don’t think Testors sells empty paint bottles.

There are two ways to do this. You can do the shadows and then after it’s dried go Back in with an xacto blade and chisel away at the jagged bits until it’s smooth. The other way is to practice to make your lines straight so you don’t have to fix them with an xacto blade.

That’s an easy fix. First of all you’re pressing too hard on the pen when you’re drawing. Lighten the pressure. Secondly you can double tap. Meaning retrace the lines again after you’ve put them down to make it more opaque. Again lighten the pressure there also.

It’s not good to use with acrylic paints. Enamel paints, yes. Acrylic paints no.

[@TheRealScience86]

FYI... I know it's commonly used the way you used it but a steep learning curve would mean something is very easy to learn. A learning curve is a graph of learning (on the y-axis) over time (on the x-axis). So if you can do a lot of learning in a short time, it creates a steep curve. A shallow or long curve would represent slow learning over a long time - i.e. something that is difficult to learn.

[@DrawninjaKC]

The concept of a “steep learning curve” is more of a metaphor that most likely represents a common perception that going up a steep hill is slower than going up a long, shallow incline.

[@TheRealScience86]

@@DrawninjaKC I know that what you, and most other people think it is - but it isn't. It's actually a thing with a mathamatical definition that is used to study learning. It's fine that you use it this way. Most people don't understand this highly technical term and use it incorrectly - so most people will also understand that you mean to communicate that it's difficult to learn. But, in fact, that is not what it means.

I did as you said, as I used the identi pen with the acrylic paint and my lines are disappearing. I redid my glass painting twice because of this...do you have any more advice that I could use to allow my lines to stay?

Not me begginin my paiting glass yerterday, fucking up, then doing Gojou today and doing everything fine but when cleaning up, my brush was mixed with other color (?) and having an crisis

[@YellowStarFish9800]

Hi, I have a question. I want to do a glass painting Arthur from Fire Force. But I don't know how I could make his lightsaber/flame sword glow. Any tips/ideas?

[@DrawninjaKC]

You would need an airbrush for that.

[@YellowStarFish9800]

@@DrawninjaKC Do you have any good recommendations for airbrushes?

[@fatemeshoja2243]

An update to my last comment:I checked some online stores and it seems that none of the markers you mentioned are available for me (I live in middle east so many brands are not available or affordable)So I came up with an idea and don't know if it might work or not... maybe you can help me as a proAnd the idea is that can I use a brand of marker and then when I did the outline I spay some fixative on it then do the color and if the marker was going to react to the acrylic color we will stop the process

[@DrawninjaKC]

Sounds like a great idea. why not give it a shot and let me know the results.

[@com.passionatebitch]

Hi! What fixatives do you suggest to keep the paintings from falling off or getting scratched? With research it looks like epoxy resin on enamel would be great. But maybe you or anyone with experience as well might know about something else?

[@DrawninjaKC]

Resin is good form if you use glitter. But I usually don’t use a fixative for the back of the class art. I do however place Bristol board on the back of art when I put it back in the frame. That always makes me feel better about protecting it.

@@DrawninjaKC thank you! I'm just starting out but I intend on using the glass paintings I make as keychains for someone so I'm searching pretty hard on a good fixative/varnish for glass paintings.

[@DrawninjaKC]

@@com.passionatebitch if you’re making keychains resin is definitely your way to go.

[@com.passionatebitch]

@@DrawninjaKC Ik :( tho I'm more focused on making display paintings only and I wanted to try and make a keychain out of it once (request from someone) since I don't have much money and energy to start with both

[@g-limpinmargaret6680]

What is the size of the glass to be used for glass painting? Or like the ideal size

[@DrawninjaKC]

I use 5x7 for the small ones (My usual) and 8x10 for the larger ones.

Hey can you tell me what do u use to secure the phone cases so that it won't stick to phone

[@DrawninjaKC]

Sticky acetate.

[@itsferbubble4959]

i learned the seven in the hard way😭😭the tracing was okay(at least for me) but when i was done w that and started to paint, the LINES LITERALLY disappered and i was so so confused. After that, i started to use the same paint for the lines( i use a black acrylic paint and an really really tinny paint blush) it work for me perfect, is slow but it looks really good in the end( that bc, where i live doesnt sell those kind of pens😭😭and no one work) for the moment in working in the tones and colors but is not easy, help snfjdfnkdjf

7 is the one everyone relates too the most.

Where do you live?

[@futuresai2764]

now it makes sense hahaahh ive been using posca and i just started. thanks for the tips and knowledge 👍 Also i wanna know the comparison of Sharpie oil based and Sakura Identi pen, their pros and cons.. im indecisive a bit if im given choices. i appreciate if u do 😄

[@DrawninjaKC]

If I had to make a choice I would chose the oil based Sharpie. It’s more opaque. The pro about the identipen is that it has a ultra fine nib and a big nib on one pen. Whereas you would have to buy two different pens to get it on the oil based sharpie.

@@DrawninjaKC thank you very much 🥺💗

@@futuresai2764 no problem, my friend.

[@kokodile1392]

Hi KC, i was wondering if i can use POSCA marker then seal it with an oil-based varnish? then ill paint with acrylic on the other side of glass.. do you think the varnish will do me justice? xD thank uu

[@DrawninjaKC]

Honestly that's way too much steps. You can make it easier on yourself by just doing the line with an identipen or oil based sharpie and then painting on the same side.
