How to Paint with a Toothpick | You HAVE to try this

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

1 like = A box of toothpicks for the #toothpickgang

[@michelem.2664]

Where can I buy this custom?

[@BeNachos]

Quick question. What type of paint is recommended for a beginner?

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

BeNachos definitely angelus !

[@UNKNOWN-zr5rz]

Do you customize shirts

[@eriklara9776]

DeJesus Custom Footwear Marlo is better

[@brosome2543]

I would like to see him collab with MARKO.

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

let's set it up 👀

[@brziperiod]

DeJesus Custom Footwear alright so ummm what about more broad designs? Like I’m attempting to start a streetwear brand (needing help with that) and I was thinking about a static kind of thing on the quarter of the Air Force one. But under the swoosh. Would you say tooth pick method for that? Been looking into hydro dip but the results have been looking iffy.

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

DatBoyBreezi yeah definitely dude

[@brziperiod]

DeJesus Custom Footwear update; looking into some Gel Lyte V’s. So the toe box and quarter on them is mesh. Is mesh hard to paint? Also - I don’t know if you’re willing to help me afford a second pair (I’m going into college soon) but I could whip up a design, maybe we could collab on it and get some Fonicks x DCF going. I do have a contact that makes shirts. Would be cool though.

[@brziperiod]

Definitely gonna use Photoshop to make mockups

[@ellismith2745]

please do more of these im broke

[@digital_mixtape]

haha same

[@13kjay37]

[@andrebanks9064]

New to shoe customizing... #toothpickgang for forty years painting my electric football figures. AWESOME!

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

That’s super cool man haha!

[@MBayas1]

I actually use a Staedtler lead holder to hold a toothpick and use it as a pencil. Works great. Good control..thanks for the tips!

[@1hero866]

Omg smart

[@lisadietz4521]

I learned so much from this video for painting outlines as well as shadows and highlights. I don't know if you mentioned it before, but I was in an Asian market the other day & got a container of bamboo toothpicks because I liked the container. To my amazement, bamboo toothpicks are sharpened only on one side so they streamine them down into a long thin point that provides for the finest painted line I've ever done!

[@theosoasisgarage1147]

Love the video man ! I’m barley customizing shoes and the tooth pick technique saved me a lot of money and had me pulling crisp lines ! Love the content if it wasn’t for your channel I probably wouldn’t even be doing shoes !

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

truly appreciate the kind words and thank you for your support!

[@phameful.]

He's being paid by Toothpick to say this!

[@digital_mixtape]

😂😂

[@jimmiewilliams6900]

Shit funny when you think about it

[@GerryAWilson]

It's here!!! Been waiting all week. Great production quality!

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Thanks man glad you enjoyed!

[@sinatra617]

This is a great trick. I found out a nice little trick during a mistake I made on a pair of customs. I was working with heat transfer butterflies and I cut the antenna's off coming out of the head. I knew about the tooth pick method from you but I needed something even more fine cz the butterflies were small. What I ended up doing is dipping a tiny part of the exacto blade and made the antennas with the exacto knife. It came out perfect. It literally looked like it was part of the transfer.

[@che9236]

YOU ARE THE CERTIEST CUSTOMIZER IVE EVER SEEN

[@adubsdablab]

As an artist of with experience of 30+ years I can definitely tell you relaxing is key to fine line work, don’t hold your breath that is opposite of what you should be doing

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Adub think it works a little different for everybody.. I know this has definitly helped me and a lot of other people

[@deonlewis1664]

After this video I started using tooth picks for fine detail and I love it. Thanks

[@Thefadedfox024]

Watched your Chanel for the past week and already trying my first pair of customs! Your videos are truly informative and down to earth. Keep up the good work bro

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Wow thank you so much! Really appreciate your support and we’re honored to have you join us 🤟🏽

[@curtis7562]

I tried this today painting some leather edges. It worked out nicely and like you say it's so much easier to keep it clean than a brush

[@ForResalePurposesOnly]

Nice Tip Dillon! I stumbled upon this by first using the tip of my exact knife, the toothpick works even better as you can load up more paint! Nice video brother!

[@blackswanvante]

I didn’t even think about sanding a toothpick I would just always go for the finest needle but this is very helpful thank you!

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Yeah it really helps!

[@thriftingsifting6709]

I used the thin detail brush by angelus and the downside of them is that brush absorbs the paint and later stiffen up after a couple uses. I didn't think of a toothbrush and it makes sense now. I'm glad to see this method worked for you, I gotta try it now.

[@mikek2826]

Very good video.Always found the simplest things around you can help you create beautiful things. Don’t need a whole lot of money to do it.

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Absolutely! Glad you enjoyed

[@JonBoy204]

Awesome idea,I'm in the middle of my first try at this. So far so Awesome!!! I'm actually doing alot better than I thought. I've been drawling for yrs so figured I'd try it out. Toothpick is Perfect for fine lines

[@susieturk1]

I like eyeliner brushes too but I'm definitely going to try the toothpick

[@lilcarverwalser]

I’m a artist and I’ve been doing custom shoes for myself for about a year or so! And I’ve painted with a toothpick in high school for a art project. How can I contact you and show you some of my work, I would absolutely love to join your team and increase my knowledge on custom shoes!

Thanks for watching!

[@izakniemann5734]

I am so happy I discovered this "secret". I am an artist for 14 years now and that finer detail was always a problem - a little brush just can't do it. I will try the toothpick...

[@interestingfacts697]

Yoo ur one of the best artists and i lLOOOVVEE THE way explain holy crap u gave me soooo much advice

[@sapphire29ish]

Thanks so much you literally answered all my questions in this one video 👍🏾💖💖

[@Jack-xl9fk]

I’ve watched everyone of your vids except this one and been waiting to watch it till the right time I hype also I’m going to start customizing by myself and have gotten many tips from you so thank you can’t wait to watch this one

[@brookethechicken]

Another way to get a good line is to make sure your hand isn’t hovering in the air when you try to make it. Use your little finger if you can as a stabilising point, sort of in the same way an oil painter uses a mahlstick so as not to lean their hand on the canvas, but you need to do it so you aren’t putting your fingers in the middle of your work. It can take a bit of finger twister to get the feel that’s right and working for you.

[@matthewhong3374]

Thank you for sharing this info, a lot of people would keep this to themselves

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

What’s the point of knowledge if you can’t share it 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@floresneorandeea.6075]

[@BigEpinstriping]

Coming from a pinstriping background here: Do you oil and shape your brushes before storing them? I have brushes over a decade old, including fine detail brushes, and they're as fresh as day 1. When done working with them, clean them thoroughly, dip the bristles in baby oil, and use your fingers to work the oil into the bristles gently, and shape the bristles (point , knife edge, etc, depending on the type of brush) and store them. they'll last forever if they're natural hair brushes (sable brushes) Just be sure to clean them before you use them, and oil and shape them before you put them away. Keep them in a sealed container to keep varmints and insects away from them, as well as keep them supple.

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Wow this is great advice, almost wish I could put it in this video! Greatly appreciate it, I definitely never took it far enough it sounds like to rub down with the baby oil and store em between sessions.

[@BigEpinstriping]

Yup, Here a demo of how to clean and oil a brush. It's a pinstriping brush, but this applies to all brushes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f56zqKqMnpqkm7s He doesn't shape them though, mineral spirits are great for cleaning the brushes. you can use just about any oil, But I've found Baby Oil works best, and it's cheap.

[@rrider45rpm]

This is so simple and a game changer! Thanks!

[@rebeccaelliott4261]

That’s pretty cool! I never had that problem with my detail brushes and find it’s not hard to keep them in good condition but now I’m curious. I feel like I have to try this

[@UMIunited]

Waiiit a minute.... I have the same keyboard/mouse set lol

[@OfficialYeat]

is this sarcasm

[@sushired8]

You should try using an awl or a 16g needle

[@Trap4Hunter]

"It aint the size of the boat.. " LMAO

[@gavinsmith7224]

Hold your breath after exhaling, like Chris Kyle. Use a Lead Holder for drafting to hold the toothpick and reduce hand fatigue.

[@KickzzrusKustoms]

Fyi I have just decided to claim this technique as my own because i started using toothpicks back in 2016 when i couldnt afford good detail brushes 😂 great video though!

[@KickzzrusKustoms]

Wait nvm i just realized that you were probably using toothpicks way before i have so nvm ill give the technique back to you lmao

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

Lol yes sir it’s a good one 🤟🏽

[@KcHapo]

Could you use a sharp tooth pick or does it have to be round

[@doralove2929]

Watching from Ghana...please what’s the name of the paint you use in customizing

[@kerrilewis6616]

What type of paint are you using? Is it specific fabric paint or something else?

[@mariobosse9600]

With acrylic ? What kind of the brand or need specific for shoes or leather ? Thank you

[@ryanbannister7229]

Do toothpicks work on fabrics? I'm about to start a custom and I'm wondering how to make sure my lines are fairly crisp? I'm aware that leather is naturally more suited to crisp lines but I'd like to put some PJ masks characters on some mesh fabric. I watched a few clips on painting mesh fabric, however I've not seen any detailed stuff yet... Perhaps for good reason? Any tips would be helpful! Thanks 😊

[@TyNel55]

[@thebeautifulgamevintage2790]

Hi there, Quick question for all of you. When using the toothpick method on stitching do you have to mix the paint with anything? Or do you just apply it straight out the bottle? For example the jumpman stitching.

[@DeJesusCustomFootwear]

If you want it to be a bit softer you can use the 2soft but if you want it to get done a little faster and keeping it soft isn’t the most important thing to you... then just go straight from bottle ... (I go straight from bottle most of the time)

[@thebeautifulgamevintage2790]

DeJesus Custom Footwear wow thank you so much! I greatly appreciate it 🙌🏽 thanks for the quick response

[@blkmacgyver8949]

Did you do a video about using a toothpick om a AJ1 wings logo where you removed the top later to reveal the wing as the base coat.
