How to Customize A Mobile Phone Case




Step one grab your mobile phone case or cover of your choice. Do a test to see how the paint sticks
before a full on application. You may need to use an automotive etching primer (Autozone) to make a paintable surface. This is a T-Mobile Shock Absorb Case for the Galaxy S3.



The next thing you want to do is tape off the inside to prevent and paint in unwanted areas...and then hit it with a good base spray paint, it doesnt have to be fancy, but I wouldn't use $1 spray paint thats for sure.

Let Dry...



BAM!!!! Awesomeness already.... you make like a simple design like this or you may want to trick it out a bit further as seen below.



I added a little abstract graffiti to mine. When layering paints its good to detail it from light to dark spectrums (vice versa). After you fine detail your art use a sprayble clear coat to insure flexiblity. The Rustoleum brand is durable but has a mild yellow hue that lasts for a month or so and fades clear. Its been 6 months or so since I posted this and the art with clear coat has held up awesomely!!! Happy painting!    Add me on FACEBOOK

How To Convert Hand Drawn Art Into Graphics

 The first thing you want to do it draw out the basic design. I like to do basic shapes first to give me a good sense of placement without the clutter of details. Once the placement is down I then detail the image.


New as you can see here with the basic shapes you can now detail your obejcts much easier. This image depicts a person moving from a hotel to a jet plane.

As you can see here deatils of shading have been added along with the proper labeling.
This was colored in Photoshop the commands I used are:

Left side Tool Bar:

Marque Tool

Text Tool (After Clicking the "T" you can change its color at the top tool bar that appears)

Red Color Swatch (change you swatches to any color once you select them by double clicking)

Rectangle /Circle Tool

Paint Brush

Eraser Tool

You can use these tools as much or as less to achieve the desired result.
