First of all I want to say how awesome Midge's first post was! If you didn't see it, you can read it here. She's crazy good at art :)
So yesterday my wonderful boyfriend took me shopping and bought me this Spiderman bear and costume;
 |
| Say hello to Peter Parker :) |
I wanted to make something for him to say thank you. I've had this project pinned for a while but I've never got around to making it.
My boyfriend spends obscene amounts of money on figurines so I thought it was perfect.
I picked up a mini artist's mannequin from The Works for £2. I already had acrylic paints and brushes so that makes this a super cheap gift idea :) It just requires a little patience.
I don't feel ready to tackle the intricate webbing on Spidey's costume so I went for the Hulk instead.
Here are the steps to make it;
 |
| Start with a plain mannequin |
 |
| Paint the skin area and base green |
 |
| I had to remove some of the paint with white spirit because I accidentally painted the wrong section |
 |
| Paint the shorts purple |
 |
| Paint the hair black |
 |
| Use white paint for the eyes and mouth |
 |
| Use a fine black pen to add detail to the face, I used a Stabilo fineliner |
 |
| Ta-dah! |
Just coat with varnish or matte Mod Podge when the paint is dry and there you have it, a fully jointed Hulk figurine for £2! I think I might try to make the full Avengers team at some point.
