coz galaxy stuff are too awesome
Finally took picture of the shoes. The original Dr Marten was already cracking a bit and it was my sister's one. I was practising on her Dr Marten and i think it turned out okay i guess? If you didn't know what that white and orangey blob was, it was supposed to be a moon and a sun respectively XD. I think i need to repaint that.
YAY MY FIRST PROJECT SUBMISSION FINALLY!

  • How to paint a pair of patterned shoes. Galaxy Dr Marten Shoes - Step 1
    Step 1

    Okay finally got around to a how to! It might not be what you expected. Ok first, you need to watch this video.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6qkk1hC1bk
    Its one of the few tutorials that i watched to learn how to spray paint galaxy on CANVAS. And its cool as hell.
    Here are some of my noob pieces.
    And let me say, i have never spray painted in my life before this, but i managed to do it somehow, so i'm sure you guys can do it! Just follow how these pple and familiarize with how to spray paint.

  • How to paint a pair of patterned shoes. Galaxy Dr Marten Shoes - Step 2
    Step 2

    So the main colours needed is black, white, blue, purple and yellow! Well, according to me anyways. Make sure to wear gloves as it will get super messy.

  • Step 3

    Practice your galaxy on canvas until you're quite satisfied with it and try it on the shoes! Its basically the same steps but you just have to place your shoe in such a way its as horizontal as it can be to mimic the canvas.
    Takes more time too as you have to wait for the spray paint to dry before you flip the other side.
    Did something wrong? No worries, just spray over that spot and do over! The wonders of spray paint!

    Don't think it looks hard! Its simpler than it seems! Its easier than it seems, and thats saying something as im an 'anyhow also can' person! Watch more tutorials on spray paint galaxy art on youtube to improve! ;)
    Good luck!
