Airbrush Multilayer Stencil - Skull - pirates of the caribbean

Hi guys, I did my best trying to create a multilayer skull stencil. Why multilayer? Well it allows you to get more depth and use more colors. * **I have not yet tried this myself** but will try soon and post results. If you can't wait, follow the steps below.(at your own risk, I don't know how well this will work). * I suggest using 3 airbrush colors in the same range and have one dark, medium, light. * **I made this for Anet A8 printer which has a 20x20cm platform**. Making it smaller might not work, I don't know. * The result won't be exactly like in the image because of some(**a lot**) tiny details which got lost during the process. * Be very carefull removing this from the platform after printing. * Remember, you don't have to soak it with paint. It's better to use less paint and make it better after stencils, manually. STEPS: 1. Print with minimal thickness of 0.4mm. 2. Place Layer 1 where you want it, now mark the corners so you'll know where to place the next layers. 3. Airbrush with Layer 1. Use the **darkest color**. Lift the stencil, look at the **yellow image** and manually airbrush away the blue studs. 4. Airbrush with Layer 2. Use the **medium color**. Lift the stencil, look at the **blue image** and manually airbrush away the red studs. 5. Airbrush with Layer 3. Use the **light color**.
