Illustrated Soft Resin Step By Step

Illustrated Soft Resin Step By Step

Step One: Painting Maya Red (not really)

  1. Because we wanted something simple that we could show the steps to, we chose the Maya model. It's a very good first model, and it's also a good get-a-feel-for-it model. That and it's cheap. I think the set of Maya, Rei and Asuka was acquired for around 25 to 30 bucks. A very good investment for tons of cute...and practice.

  2. Despite it's simplicity, the many colors needed for Maya are:

    1. Dark Brown...hair, eyebrows
    2. Light Brown...eyes
    3. Flesh tones...a light one for her skin
    4. Cream...tunic top
    5. Black...iris, boots, laptop
    6. Tan Gold...belt
    7. Orange...shoulder design
    8. Gold...uniform outline, belt buckle
    9. White...highlights, tights

  3. Because it is sculpted that way, you can, if you want, put most of the model together before you paint it. But still, for the best results, you should paint piece by piece

  4. One thing you should definitely paint solo like, is the piece of Maya's bangs. Why? Because the bangs hang a little, and if you did put the entire model together first, painting the back of the bangs would be hellish. That and Maya might end up with dark brown face paint streaky things
