Completed!Update!(Idea Needs Help): Skateboard plus Graphic

Soulprogression · Last edited by Soulprogression on Mar 23, 2009 7:42 pm; edited 3 times in total

(Update) Finished the project today, really like the way it came out and am stoked on paint pens, plan on doing a bunch more stuff like this. Pics from blank to prep paint, sketching and filling in. Finished with a couple coats of clear and she's ready to go, almost don't want to skate it. Shocked

Got a new blank deck yesterday and want to put a picture I drew on it. Problem is the deck is black so even if I redraw my sketch I will have to use paint pens or something to color it in. Not sure how well they will even show up on the black. Was thinking white spray paint then draw and paint. I guess my question is how should I go about this and what should I paint with?

Guy, thanks dude, gonna order a set of those now, and try not to slide anything before they get here. Will post up a pic when she's done.

Soulprogression, definitely find a clear coat to throw over it so it doesn't smear everything the first time you slide somethin

Stencil it then spray paint it white. After that use an air brush for all of the colors and detail. finish with clear.

or take some white chock and rub it on the back of your sketch. then place the sketch on your board, take a pencile and trace over the lines and you'll have a white outline on your board to fill with paint pens!

LiquidForce71, I've been riding it a little, no real harm done, but think I'm going to look for a new blank today, I just really like this deck.

skimboarder, If you are serious I will take you up on that Afro

Guy, thanks again for the idea, they really sparked some creativity in me, never knew I could do anything like that.

-=AlexXx=-, drew that sketch at a strange period in my life, kinda reflects some of the crazy shizzle I was thinking about haha Crazy Eyes

Thanks for the props everyone think it is going on a wall or something after today, maybe one sesh at the skatepark before I put her up for good.
