Similar to the microphone I proceeded to render the exte- rior of the suit with paper stencils and Auto Air transpar- ent colors (Step 16). The top of the helmet and sides were also painted using paper stencils and French curves for the final clean up and shadowing. The top of the helmet was rendered in yellows and orange whereas the other parts were in shades of blue and greens. I finally added subtle highlights to all the different parts of the helmet and suit using a hand brush and some thin white, easy

to blend in. Texture on some of the parts was made by spraying through a stretched out green dishwashing pad. Add some reflections and glare off the top and bottom and there you have it, the ultimate showdown. Overall, this was a relatively complex piece that took between 20 to 30 hours to complete. Even though this project may seem relatively complex, always go by these words of wisdom (definitely not mine!): “paint what you see”.
