Painting Magical Mushroom for Tabletop RPG Game

Painting Magical Mushroom for Tabletop RPG Game

or as a decoration

Greetings, friends. I haven't been able to paint mini for a long time because my 3d printer was busy for some of my friends' requests. I also ran out of resin. While I was thinking of saving some money and buying resin in the coming days, I took a look at the minis that were never painted and just sitting on the corner.
Among them I found a mushroom and believe me, I have no idea where it came from. If I find where I downloaded the model of the mushroom, I will add it directly here, but since I don't use non-free models, there is no problem for now.

I'm very busy with work at the moment but I found the time to paint a small mini.

Let's get started. Today we will paint a magical mushroom together!

Materials

  • Spray paint for coating
  • Mask to use when spraying
  • Pink & Green & Blue Acrylic Paint
  • Latex gloves to use while painting
  • Hair dryer to speed up the drying of the paint, or time
  • Brushes
  • Dry Toilet Paper

Sprey Paint Coating

First, as always, we use spray paint to apply the coating. I used metallic gray because I ran out of black and white paint.
It doesn't really matter what we use because then we're going to paint over it completely.
Your shadows will be better if it's black. But if you want to shade it, you can also use the technique we call "black wash" at the end. We don't need that for this model right now.
Since it is already a small and ornamental model, the paint we coat will be completely underneath the main colour.

In Pink and Green!

I chose pink, it's more sweet and refreshing. It reminds me of cotton candy. That's why I wanted to use this color and it was a good choice because it feels like it can be dangerous when found in nature.

You paint the whole thing with pink paint. The thing you have to be careful about here is not to overuse the paint. Because if you use too much paint, the mushroom details below will disappear.
Then I painted the floor a slightly dark greenish color, which made the mushroom stand out more.

Blue Dry Brush

While pink is beautiful on its own, I thought the lower parts of the mushroom needed a lighter blue, which is a very sweet color and just a magical combination. That's why I slowly painted the mushroom, especially the bottom part, using what we call the dry brush technique. This painting technique is basically like this: you take the paint on your brush and then you dry it. When it's dry, you touch the little bit of paint left on it to the mini. The mini will catch the paint itself. You don't apply it.
I had to do this especially carefully on the top because it has very fine speckles.
I was a little more daring on the bottom.

Finally, I added some more green stripes on the ground and the mini is finished!

In short;

  • First throw coating with spray paint
  • Then paint in the entire color you want to paint using acrylic
  • Dry
  • Paint the floor another color, preferably darker
  • Using a dry brush technique, sprinkle the second color of your imagination
  • It's done!

Thank you very much for reading! Hope to see you next time! This is 100% powerup post.
