#helmet #pencil #painting
I painted a skate helmet using only watercolor pencils. I sprayed also a flatt clearcoat using spray can. Drawing on a helmet is possible if you have a bright and flatt surface. Not only spray paint is an option if you want to do custom painting on a helmet. Using pencils can be fun and gives your artwork the special and handmade touch of a handdrawn graphic. In this video I give you an insight in my handdrawn helmet artwork. I painted a gorilla, skull and lots of other things using watercolor pencils.

[@guido69x]

Tracing the design like this,with a big square sheet on a rounded helmet,its most probable to trace it warpped and looking wonky besides of getting it all dirty with the carbon paper on areas we dont want to! There are more accurate ways to transfer the design to the helmet ;)

[@ETOE]

And you mentioned not even one of them. Why? You are the god of painting. Let the world know about your super powers.

[@coderbackslash3406]

​@@guido69x ​ LOL, So you decided to come on here and tell us how you KNOW better but not how to DO it better? (Deep down you know that that's kind of a "d!ck move" right?) You could have saved us all having to witness your self-aggrandizing posturing and just watched the video and kept you comments to yourself. Your grandma probably told you "if you have nothing good to say its probably best to say nothing at all". "Secret is the soul of a business" hilarious! Look around son (or daughter, women can be d!ck$ too) your on KZbin this platforms raison d'etre is SHARING. Heck! you probably came on here hoping to benefit from that very ethic. So to then turn around and point out perceived deficiencies without offering possible solutions or even the hint of a suggestion for remedy seems a little puerile, what seems particularly perverse is to then claim that you have a solution But that it's somehow "your little secret". Oh Vanity thy name is DrunkFunk. Any one over 20 knows that there is really no genuinely new Idea under the sun we are all standing on the shoulders of those that came before, not to mention that these days with Google I could probably find out how to do what you do in you Profession in less than an hour, if I really needed to. So in summary, next time follow you grandma's advice.

14:20 talks over a minute about the right clear coat, but in the end he shows what to do. To keep it flat and simple, just grab a can... brilliant, uh I mean glossy ;D - great video Martin !!

[@1212sman]

Good, clean work. One thing I've come across when clearcoating my finished work on a lid or whatever, is that I find I have to kind of "sneak up" on the surface with the clearcoat, especially when covering Sharpie art and the like. Regardless of the quality of the clearcoat product, I've found that it will make the pigment I'm coating run if I don't start by spraying the barest mist on it initially and letting it dry more than just flash off before proceeding with more substantial coats. I've ruined a lot of painstakingly- applied art on surfaces by just bombing the finished art with clearcoat without showing some patience in the beginning of the clearcoating process.

[@josephpugh490]

This video is badass, like the ones before it. Your enthusiasm and sense of humor is contagious.

[@NoMatterDesign]

Art is very time-consuming! This definitely deserves a Like.

[@MaximaMiluska]

Wooww. I am an airbrush artist and I never think in to draw with pencils and put the barnis over the draw...thanks for the idea. 💪🏻🎨

[@hmudesign]

Martin, you have out done yourself yet again, love the video and love the graphics. Fantastish!!!.

[@Freedomofthepress38]

So cool that you don't mind sharing and actually encourage people to make art. I've always been interested in painting lids, so thanks for the inspiration my man.. Keep it up..

You dont have to do any prep work for the pencil helmet?? Also Id like to see this on a motorcycle helmet just to see

Welcome!

[@yudhantoutomo4110]

@@ETOE my bro, u draw with watercolor pencil which means it is water-based. Is it okay to spray a clear coat directly or you need to dry the drawing first?

[@katcus]

I really love this. Could i possibly get the same effect if i just use regular water colour paint? Or would this work best if I did this in water colour pencil for detailing?

[@petermitchell8831]

Awesome as always Sir. Keep up the amazing and inspirational work. You Rock.

[@JoseLuisNicanor-pt7lt]

[@mano8033]

I really enjoy your tutotials. I painted my second helmet using your tips. Do you know how to create a patina paint on an helmet ? I have an old Cromwell helmet, and I'd like to repaint it with the same aspect as it orignally was. By that, I mean a mate effect. But I don't know how to recreate THIS kind of mate black you can find on vintage motorcycle tanks or frames. I tried an old tip of rubbing the paint with oily gloves while it dries but I'm not that convinced...

[@kay1975]

This is friggin awesome! I had no ida this is possible! Thanks for the video! I will try this on my next frame.

[@lucazaffanella4242]

Best design ever

[@bubbapipe]

WOW! I'm speechless!

[@rusterkat1188]

Amazing! I guess there is no way to de-grease or clean the helmet before clear coat? Also, normally you do a lot of sanding and prep before paint, but not necessary here with water color pencils?

[@ETOE]

You can degrease the helmet if you use a degreaser which is not water or alcohol based. If you have a flatt non painted shell you can direct paint on it without any prep. If you have a painted shell you need to prep it.

[@rusterkat1188]

@@ETOE Awesome! Thanks for the reply. This is something that looks really fun to try, without the learning curve and expense of airbrush.

What a great job.... This helmet is so gorgeous !!!

[@teamscoobydoo]

Nicely done. Would you ever consider doing a video of wrapping a frame in car vinyl wrap?

[@ETOE]

No it looks cheap and if you wrap tubes you have lots of visible seams. I don`t like that. Other KZbinrs do that. So recommend their videos.

Really cool

[@k0k0w]

Can you paint candy colours directly over that? or do you need to use a fixative/clear coat first?

[@philb8437]

How much does the clearcoat protects against UV ? Will the watercolors fade over time ? How about if it was sharpie pens instead ? I know theses fade without clearcoat. Will the clearcoat be enough to prevent that ? Also, great videos, as usual ! I love what you do. And I quite like your designs as well

Not the ones I used. Link in the video description.

[@tpaulalex724]

Hey Martin, Thanks for another great video. I am curious if you are familiar with stencil transfers done by tattoo artists. They use a paper that allows them to trace their artwork onto it and then it instantly becomes a stencil. The difference is that, if you are not happy with the placement, you can wipe it off and try again. Might be something to think about. Keep up the great work! Love the sense of humour by the way!!!

[@MauGino]

As always brilliant video and amazing skills.

[@teeshark6584]

Martin, how do you get the Gorilla Squad transfer lettering? I am doing my own custom paint jobs on my RC Boats. These arent toy boats, my smallest boat does 72mph. I'm replicating an offshore race boat, STIHL offshore racing. I'm having a hell of a time trying to get the letters on the boat. Everything else was a breeze using 5mm, 3mm & 2mm masking tape to do the graphics. I printed the STIHL logo out and using an exacto-knife to cut it out but the paint is bleeding under the card stock paper.
