What tools do you need for hand-painted postcards? What preparations have you made?

Tools: ruler, paper cutter, white cardboard (sketch paper), copy paper, gouache pigment, palette, gouache, Gou Xianbi, pencil, syringe and other tools.

Introduce the usage of the tool to LZ: when the pigment is used for white cardboard, the pigment will be uneven if it is too thin, but the cardboard is hard and the material is good. Sketch paper: As long as the pigment is not thin, it will be uniform. The disadvantage is that the paper is too thin, and the quality of postcards made without white cardboard is good.

Copy paper, also called sulfuric acid paper, is thick and transparent. You can draw the pattern you want on the copy paper first, then paint the pencil lead powder on the back of the copy paper, stick it on the white cardboard and trace the pattern on the copy paper, and the pattern will be printed on the white cardboard.

It's almost time to draw. LZ can first put the pigment in the water powder box, add some water to the pigment, stir it, and then use a syringe to absorb the excess water on the pigment. This is called degumming. The purpose of this is to make the pigment on the paper more uniform.

Then, mix colors according to the figure you want. First, draw a large area of color with chalk, and outline the details with Gou Xianbi.

If LZ is done for the first time, don't worry about drawing mistakes, as long as it is not too much beyond the draft, it can be covered with other colors.

These tools can basically be bought in paint shops. You can go to the paint shop and ask the boss in detail how to choose these tools.
