Attempting my 1st Custom; need some help!!!

[smc]

Hello all,

I have been wanting to try a custom out for awhile now. I was able to get a cairo muggs cheap so i figured id give it a go. I decided to do a jawa and make use of the skirt mugg. heres my steps:

1. Primed with Krylon spray paint primer, grey. (2 coats)
2. Taped off the hands and the inside of the hood part.
3. Sprayed with Gloss Brown Krylon spray paint. (2 coats)
4. Removed tape, and hand painted hands and inside of hood black.

This is where i am right now (see PIC below)

Now, i still need to do the eyes. Thats where i think i need some help. What is the best way to get yellow on top of black?? any idea and suggestions would be great.

Also i would like to do some shading, to make it look a bit more realistic. Any tips?

I know we have several amazing artists/customizers here, i would love to hear some of your ideas/comments.

Thanks a lot :D

If your going to do shading, since you already sprayed it with gloss spray paint, you should tape and mask where you dont want the paint, and shade with a darker gloss spray paint, if you paint it by hand with acrylics or other style of paint (excluding enamel) you run the chance of bubbling the paint and smearing around the shadows. Gloss paint is the worst to paint on top of.

Id stay clear or spray paint all together..

I believe if you try and clear coat it, It will bubble..

however, Your Doing a Great job! So, keep it up.
