ELP Update #1 (9/24/19)


Update: I´ve begun to hot glue my cardboard pieces together. I plan to paint my free standing with darker colors and heavy shadows.

Problem: I´m not sure if the oil paint will take well to the cardboard. I think it might make the cardboard soggy.

Solution: If that doesn´t work I can always use tempura or maybe acrylic but I wanna stay away from acrylic as much as possible. I think I´ll have to use acrylic though...

Conclusion: I plan to continue assembling the bottom part and shape stuff out as much as possible.
I´ll hopefully finish constructing it by Monday.
