Jigglypuff practice

Practicing a smooth application of acrylics. Really thin coats of paint is the way to go. Also having a good paintbrush.

I've tried the paint thinner method to remove some of the art on the card and all I can say is, I don't recommend it.  It takes too long it's really damaging to the actual card. There is no way to go back once the art on the card is removed with acetone or paint thinner. It is PERMANENT.

I alter the simple and efficient way, I paint a thin layer of grey as my base and build my colors from there. You can't go wrong with this method. Mistakes are easily scratched off gently with toothpicks.
