Hi everyone it is Koto. I am making printed eye chips for blind doors with the help of my boyfriend for a while, but in the past I only painted them. Both methods printed and painted have the upsides and downsides. Currently I am selling printed eye chips in my shop, but from time to time I am still making painted ones. In this video I am going to show you how I am painting eye chips for my custom blind doors. For painting eye chips you will need acrylic paint. I don't recommend water, coral and gouache because you won't be able to layer the paint on the surface. Today I am using metallic acrylic paint by Artesa and glittery paint by Turner. You can also use simple acrylics to achieve natural designs. I recommend to make your colors on paper, so later you can pair the shades easier. On the eye chips you can really see the color of the Turner paint, so look at only the color of the glitter inside in it. You can use eye chips with a blab-pupil to make more realistic eyes or you can use blank ones without the blab-pupil to make fantasy eye chips. Let's see how I painted this pair of eye chips. I am using both amber acrylic paint, lame gold glittery paint and two metallic colors, gold and per copper gold. I usually paint gradient eye chips, so this is why I use two metallic colors. I am starting with the glittery base which I paint with a smaller brush on the flat surface. After the layer has dried I am adding the gold paint to the half part of the eye chip. Then I am adding the per copper gold color onto the other half. With this technique you will leave small brush strokes on the surface and I really like this effect. You can make seamless eye chips by using a big airbrush or sponge. I am adding three or four layers of the metallic colors in total, then in the end I am adding the birth on the sheet. If you see any paint on the good side of the eye chips, scratch it down carefully. Here are all golden fantasy eye chips. Now let's make another pair with this technique. This time I am using different colors and I will make a blue icy design. I am using the silver glittery paint with the per glacier blue and the per sky blue. For the last layers I will use the cold grey and the serulean blue sheet. As always I am starting with the grittest then I am adding the per blue. After three or four layers I am adding the blue acrylic paint onto the top of the darker per sheet. Then I am adding the grey onto the top of the lighter per sheet. By adding a finer acrylic layer you will protect the design and the glue will not ruin the work after you glue the eye chips into the metal. Now let's paint the pair of eye chips which have black pupils. At this pair I did not use glitter but I used three metallic shades and a simple acrylic shade. I am using the gold sheet which I paint around the black pupil by rotating the eye chip. I am also painting some straight lines around it starting from the pupil. This is how the eye chip is looking like after this step. Now I am adding the light pink per sheet. We will still need to add some more layers. Here I am adding the darker per sheet. The final design has started to be visible. I am adding the latest coat of acrylic paint. This is the finished design. I really like this color combination.
