Body Painting NY Giants Logo

Post by Psalmbook on Tue Nov 01, 2011 8:08 pm

I have a body painting coming up where I need to paint a NY Giants Jersey on a lady. What would be the best way to do the logo?
My thoughts were, free hand it or try to make a stencil out of contact paper.
Any suggestions, thoughts?

Since it's just the NY i think you'd be able to pull it off freehand. maybe bring some sort of straight edge with you. I'd fear that taking the contact paper off may be a little painful. Are you planning on doing a jersey or your own design?

I'd freehand...maybe texture it (stipple) so it looks like the kind that is an applique, and drop shadow...or is that over-complicating it?

With logos - liquor ones which can be more detailed - I make transfers on paper with tattoo inks, then use an alcohol pad on the skin and apply like a lick'n'stick tattoo... then I have the exact outline, in proportion and ready to paint.

Or draw freehand in a white liner pencil.

Thanks! It'll be the jersey. I'm still waiting on the details.

If you have time, progress pics would be awesome to see how you ended up choosing to do it!
