Title: how can i darken my fur?
Post by: Kaprika on January 22, 2012, 12:36:12 AM

im getting these handpaws that i think arent gonna be dark enough for my fursona.
i wanted to know of any ways i could possibly lightly make it darker without the use of buying expensive airbushes?

I'm not a fursuit expert or anything special, but perhaps a small simple coat of black paint from a spray can would suffice?

I think it would. How about asking a genuine fursuit maker?

What's the cheapest airbrush option?

Why would you need an airbrush?  Just get the ink and paint it on with a regular paint brush.  The only reason for an airbrush is to get nice blending when you're going from one color to another, but when you're coloring the whole thing all the same you don't need an airbrush at all.  You could even darken it with copic markers or something like that, anything that's waterfast.

No, it shouldn't.  Although if you're worried you can always do a test first.
