Love them, very clean crisp syle of painting. Really also like the little touches with the arrows, how did you do them may i ask..........need to maybe pinch idea mind you!
Thanks....the arrows are a little bit fiddly, their just piano wire and folded paper glued ( inserted ) onto the end. Takes a few practice runs at it before mastering, but do few of them at the same time.
Any chance of a close up of arrows, as not getting how you do it from description.....also what "type" (size/grade) piano wire? tutorial required please,lol.
I'm not sure what gauge piano wire I've used, just kept pulling out bits from my spares box till I found one that looked fine enough for an arrow shaft. The feathers are just paper attached onto the wire with tweezers and white glue. I set them aside to dry, and then go back with a "sharp" craft knife and trim them up so they're all neat and " fletched like ". Drill some holes stick them in and paint.......done.
nice one mate!
