That's very pigmented paint!

I want to know the brand's paint because i still need to find something with that coverage

Yellow on black in one coat is insane coverage.

u/round-earth-theory 15h ago

It's more than just strong pigment. This is a thick gel.

u/midnightbake 13h ago

Yea this reminded me of those cookie decorating videos.

u/WhetherWitch 10h ago

Yeah, the flooding technique is the same. I’d love to know what the paint and applicator is, though

16

u/round-earth-theory 8h ago

The applicator is just a sponge. It goes on so nicely because of strong edges made by the etching process which created the outline.

It's definitely a company using Pantone's color palettes. Probably MyPerfectColor.

What do color palettes have to do with coverage?

u/AGreasyPorkSandwich 13h ago

This is probably some AI marketing push bullshit. Anytime you see a brand or a link here its the case 90% of the time.

29

u/120785456214 13h ago

Someone asks for a brand, someone provides the brand that holds a monopoly in the space. “Must be AI”. 

If you want colors that look that vibrant, that match the cartoon so perfectly then there’s a 99% chance it’s a Pantone color.

The markers are probably acrylic markers - they're very opaque. I use them to colour 3d prints. You can get them on Amazon or craft stores.

u/RMRdesign 11h ago

I believe it’s enamel paint. This stuff is used to paint signs, and you typically only need one coat to cover the surface.

u/-MrBean 14h ago

He has published a link to the markers he uses here https://linktr.ee/foxhousewoodwork.com

u/CalculatedPerversion 11h ago

The link provided are the highlight pens used after the initial color has dried. The previous comment is asking about the initial color that looks similar to a qtip.

u/napalmnacey 5h ago

I’m guessing it’s some kind of enamel paint in the beginning.

u/Mountain-Count-4067 16h ago edited 12h ago

This is the classic internet "super impossibly opaque paint, with the tip/brush dipped in it up to the ferrule, that magically covers in one coat, stays impossibly loaded on the brush so you never have to re-load the paint until you move on to the next color, and nobody can tell you what it is."

Edit: You can also apparently spread it perfectly by pushing the brush backwards, let alone having no basic brush technique.

u/SweetDangus 14h ago

I feel so seen. I can never figure it the fuck out. It seems like an impossible quest at this point.

8

u/thisisyourtruth 13h ago

It seems like an impossible quest at this point. 

You've figured it out, all that's left is to accept your best efforts for what they are. That and spending $100 on Tooli Art acrylic markers.

... Cause ngl not wrestling my equipment for opaque colour on the first go has been delightful. I should get refillable acrylic brush pens and fill them myself but I'm so fuckin lazy.

But yeah that and learning that comparison is the thief of joy. Mostly that.

u/Foreleg-woolens749 12h ago

It’s like trying to find that one great-looking jacket or lipstick color etc. that you saw a film/TV character wear. You could buy the exact same one but yours won’t have stylists attached to it, or set crew to yell “cut!” every minute so said stylist can swoop in and brush, straighten, touch up, etc., and editors who’ll cut out every frame where you don’t look perfect wearing it.

14

u/ADHDebackle 14h ago

I like how it just perfectly filled in the little pants crease without any particular attempt to get the brush into that tiny space.

15

u/MyFavoriteSandwich 12h ago

It looks like the outline was pre cut with a (probably CNC) router. The thick paint is filling and staying that way from surface tension.

3

u/CalculatedPerversion 11h ago

It's probably possible, we're just skipping the 12-day drying process part of the video.

u/LBGW_experiment 11h ago

The tip is not a normal brush. It looks like a denser mascara brush

Great painting. Does look alot like he is spraypainting a neon sign. So im a little confused

677

u/TheDeadlySpaceman 18h ago

The neon effect is a graffiti thing

The artist here takes it one step too far by adding highlights to Bart as though the graffiti is actually emitting colored light.

255

u/SuperFoxDog 18h ago

Yeah that felt wrong 

94

u/seoulgleaux 16h ago

Glad I wasn't the only one who was bothered that the light source causing the shadow was the wall he was painting.

u/stilljustacatinacage 16h ago

The weight of the effect is a bit off balance as well. Graffiti 'neon' has a bit thicker 'center line', with less bloom on the actual 'glow' part. This looks like it was drawn with a pen and not a spray can; contributes to breaking the illusion. Said as constructive criticism. Still very impressive overall.

It's pretty close to how I draw neon lights. I really like it though.

u/Kayel41 15h ago

But Bart is holding a spray can so he’s the one making the crusty graffiti and graffiti doesn’t illuminate the person spraying paint 🤔

Yeah I’m not certain that’s the artists intent (since he worships Krusty and El Barto is his tag) but it’s an explanation that makes sense.

There's a graffiti artist in my city called STRAKER whose whole style is to paint murals that look like they're neon lights similar to this painting.

43

u/Whisper-shouts 17h ago

But this artist put highlights on Bart's face that make it look like the paint is actually emiting light.

Maybe Bart stole some materials from his dad's job to make some glowing paint.

5

u/flavasava 17h ago

The highlights are pretty subtle - super saturated paints do cause enough of a reflection to cast their color on objects

I've seen a lot of contemporary spray painters use this 'neon' style for their art.

It's not actually neon, but they're adding the highlights to make it look neon.

u/Dalekcraft314 18h ago

Yeah but in this piece they specifically went and added a reflecting glow from the neon “paint” onto Bart’s skin

It doesn't bother you that it gives the illusion of spray painting Krusty but that it's also clearly supposed to be a neon sign.

It’s a bit confusing, I think.

u/Toemoss66 18h ago

I mean.. you did just see him use spray paint to make a picture that looks like a neon sign. It's definitely a style used by graffiti artists

83

u/RockItGuyDC 18h ago

Yeah, but the spray painted graffiti wouldn't then shine on Bart, like is clearly implied by the last step shown. A neon sign would, though.

u/TheHovercraft 18h ago

I think they are referring to the odd choice of having the neon pink paint reflect off Bart like a light source.

28

u/Spockhighonspores 18h ago

I understand that but the artist added lines on Bart that show the reflection of light on Bart from a neon sign. Spray paint wouldn't do that.

37

u/rainbirdmelody 19h ago

It looks like some kind of painter's tape.

18

u/Cinder-Mercury 18h ago

I think it was painters' tape and they cut the part of the video where they would have used an exacto blade to cut the outline of Bart before peeling.

22

u/StraySpaceDog 19h ago

Probably a low tac painters tape. In the air brushing world they use a sticky paper called frisket or masking paper. This doesn't show what is often the painstaking process of carefully cutting out the subject from the masking.

8

u/freedcreativity 17h ago

Easier here because Bart's outline is recessed, but yea getting good at cutting masking without damaging things underneath while also getting good lines is a serious skill. I also suspect they went over the black outlines after the airbrushing.
