I really, really like this kit. Tom Haugomat’s style is so stunning and it feels great to be able to replicate it. My friends ooh and ahh when I show them photos of my progress.
These are the challenges I’m running into:
- I find it very difficult mixing paint, and the instructions around this could be improved.
- Along with mixing, it is taking me a while to figure out which colors to mix together to get the colors in the reference photo. Some extra guidance would help here. I am spending more time on the trial-and-error mixing than I want. This also means that I am spending more time with the brush than with the markers, which is not what I wanted / expected out of this kit.
- A very small paintbrush is included for details and mixing, which is definitely needed. But I keep finding myself wanting a shorter-bristled, stiffer brush. I’m getting better with the one provided but man it is hard to learn the physical skill with it.
- This kit could really use a black paint marker. Some reference photos clearly need something darker than provided.
- Like many others have said, some of the images to paint are quite small.
If these were improved, this would be almost perfect, and really worth the price.
Please make a kit in collaboration with Owen Pomery!
