KelpKritter Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Did a search for any info on techniques for painting a fur effect that you would find on a rat or mouse bait and came up with nothing. Does someone who has painted with this style care to share how they get that look. I am wanting to blend two colors to get get that hairlike appearance. Thanks, DaveB.

Nathan Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Dave, If you want to do it with paint,the best looking ones are painted a solid lighter color back ground then using a fine brush and go back over with a darker color actually painting small hairs on it.Very time consuming but they look very good...Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Have you tried looking on YouTube Dave? There are a bunch of videos on how to airbrush fur. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I use a solvent based sharpie to add "fur" to my rats. It's a lot faster than using a brush, and the fish don't seem to care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelpKritter Posted October 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Ben, I did not even think about YouTube. To much technology around me that I forget to use it sometimes! DaveB. KelpKritter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
