Adding the details

 One of the hardest parts of adding the fine details to the boots …. White , it’s been my Achilles heal ! 

No pen is fine enough , white acrylic pens , even the finest tip is too thick , the tips dry out way too fast , Posca isn’t too bad , but again it’s too thick , the ink blobs , it’s a nightmare, 

There has been more than once I’ve come to the end , and the white details ruin it and I have to start again 

I found I was using a pin and getting the ink out of the pen … the one night whilst trawling through Facebook I saw an advert … πŸ’‘lightbulb moment 

So I bought an ink pen and some waterproof white ink 

Don’t get me wrong , it’s still nerve wracking but it’s so much better 

Now , I use the ink 


The boots will now be sealed , 2 or 3 coats … SO HAPPY LOL ( Sasha Toddler / Baby size )
