Hello, friends. The new year has come and the dice holder of a dear friend of mine has been in my house for a while. He printed it on a 3d printer but didn't have time to paint it. We have been playing the dungeons and dragons board game with him for years. He is a very valuable person for me. I had a couple of hours available today and I wanted to paint this friend's dice holder. It will be a surprise for him on New Year's Eve.

Materials

• Average time of 70-90 minutes
• The dice holder you want to paint
• Black spray paint
• Mask for spraying
• Brown acrylic paint to give the appearance of wood
• Gray metallic acrylic paint to give the appearance of metal
• At least two brushes, one of them very fine/thin
• A glass with water to rest the brushes when not in use
• Hair Dryer
• A favorite music playlist

As always, we need black spray paint to hold the acrylic paint and make the shadows darker. We must wear a mask when applying this spray paint. It is one of the best ways to paint and you have to do it from a distance. If you do it too close, it will run and make marks. You need to be further away than in the picture, 1 meter is a good distance. Do not squeeze excessively so that it does not flow. Spray in small bursts.

Then I painted the places that I wanted to give the wood look brown. I was listening to Iron Maiden at the time, so I painted very quickly. Obviously the music has a lot of influence for me. Because whenever I listen to fast and exciting music, I paint fast. But on the contrary, whenever I listen to slow and peaceful music, this time it takes a long time. Anyway, the secret here is to paint along 2 rows. Paint in one direction first and don't try to apply too much wet paint. Take your time. Wait for it to dry. Go through another round. Then paint in the other direction, perpendicular to it. After that, let it dry again. This way you will have painted in the + and + directions.
