Oh lawd
They're DONE ahhhhhh.
Geez, this was kind of an ordeal haha. I wanted to see how fast I could finish a pair, which resulted in me painting for 9 hours straight on the 2nd day and getting blurry eyed/nauseous/headachey towards the end. And of course, last night as I was in the home stretch and mixing the gray background paint I neglected to fully cap the bottle and yea...Luckily the shoes came out relatively unscathed but I can't say the same for my bedroom carpet. I think when I start doing these for real I need to put a daily limit on my painting time. The total tally is 22 hours over the span of 3 days, a HUGE improvement over my first pair, but still not that great. I was aiming for under 20, but that just resulted me in feeling rushed and stressed while doing it.
I hafta say that I really liked working with the Vans, the quality just feels so much better than the Nikes I used for the ME ones, and the fabric is so much smoother/thicker. I tried making this pair simpler in design, but I just kept adding stuff after drawing the main 4 characters, I couldn't stop D= I need to work on that...
Anyway, lesson learned: ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS cap your damn paints. ALWAYS.
