#gluegun

A page from my sketchbook from a whole back that I felt needed a bit more attention.

I used a hot glue gun basically as a drawing tool and makes fossil like patterns on the page.

I also tried to incorporate some different materials like the twine but it wasn’t giving me the effect I had hoped for so I abandoned that idea and continued on with the hot glue.

I think it came out quite cool.

Welcome to the first tuto of kourat’s painting. (and the first tuto of my life.)  It’s also a big thank you to all of you who follow me.

So let’s start. Equipement (the first picture): To do it I’ll use my Bosch glue pen, a clear glue stick, a ligther and  home made tools (a paper clip glued to an old broken brush.)

For this tuto I chose a cute little spore. You can do this with anything you want if you have the equipment but if you know that the piece you want to glue won't be easy to reach once assembled, apply the glue before you put the mini together. As you can see on the third and fourth picture, applying and stretching the glue isn't that simple; it's sticky and most of the time it won't stretch like you want. With my big gun ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I often have messy blobs of glue, so I use my home made tool for the precision work. I heat the glue and stretch it to remove the excess. I always look at references before doing this type of mini. Alien is one of my favorite ref.

The hot glue is but one method. You can find many other tutos on the internet.

Hope this help you even a little !
