Quick and Easy: Fabric Painting with Stencils

Quick and Easy (and cheap too xD) time this week! Today we deal with something every costumer or cosplayer had probably thought of–fabric painting. Sometimes characters wear clothes with specific patterns that can’t be readily found in fabric stores. I’m going to run everyone very quickly to a technique I use–making and using stencils for fabric painting. ^^

Yuffie was my first ever cosplay way back 2010. So very sorry for the blurry photos, our cameras were a no-go back then. xD She has very specific floral patterns on her shirt that I did using this technique.

You’ll need some paper, cutters, a pen, a brush, and your acrylic or fabric paint. That and your reference photo. And that’s really all you need. ^^

Allene-chan is a good friend and is a wonderful artist (though she fails to admit it). I love how she painted in the skies here.

Painting Progress

Here is a collection of snapshots I took during the progress of my last painting. I haven’t been drawing or painting anything in a while and it makes me really sad. I hope posting this gives me inspiration.
