I primered this with a Vallejo white primer (first time using it), then painted with a combination of Amsterdam acrylic inks and liquitex acrylics, then sealed with a matte medium.
I usually use rattle can primers, but the Vallejo seems to work quite well and it can be used in doors. I have an airbrush but I just used a soft bristle brush and applied it with deliberate strokes to avoid bubbling. It dries slower than spray primer, but it coats better than the white spray primer from the hardware store.
I only had black and white for the inks so I used regular acrylics for color and then darkened or lightened them with the inks as needed. I've never used inks, but they were really fun to work with so I picked up the 3 primary colors and a burnt sienna today and I'm starting a figure tonite just using inks.
Pics are the best I can do with the limited lighting back in the hobby room. Always tough to get a good shot of something black. Its either no detail or too much glare.
