HEY SAMGAM!
ZOMBO!
Man! i haven't even thought of that character for years
and BAM! there you go bringing him into the spotlight!
Bravo!
Thanks for the visit and mad props!:)
i think the pencil you're referring to is what they call
a "China White" grease pencil....
i had a stubby one i used for 1-2 pieces way back..
then it ran out...
Usually it's
DERWENT Watercolor pencils
or Faber-Castell ALBRECHT DURER Watercolor pencils
they both come in zillions of colors
so besides the highlights in white
you can try a naples Yellow/Metallic Gold/Sky Blue,etc....
the cool thing is that they can be blended with water
Or just work as a pencil....
if you're using it on enamel i would recommend the grease pencil
and a SPRAY varnish before you use a brush on sealer...
and do it on a TEST piece first....
cause this is Colombus New World territory!
Also you could try those DecoColor ultra finepoint paintpens in white
i know they're oil-based so they may adhere mo bettah!
but TEST FIRST!
and play with it,cause they sometimes go BLOP!
and that's no fun!
happy Hunting,er painting Sam!
