Bart Simpson/Trapjaw - Full Tutorial!
This tutorial dives into one of my favorite crossovers yet: Bart Simpson as Trap Jaw!
In this step-by-step guide, I'll walk you through my complete cel-shading process, including:
Building smooth, vibrant basecoats
Understanding highlight placement on cylinders, spheres, cones, and flat planes
Creating bold comic-book contrast
Painting expressive cartoon eyes
Layering high-contrast greens for Bart's face
Building saturated pink armor with crisp cel-shaded transitions
Rendering stylized blue skin
Painting glossy metallic yellows on the spray can
Simple metallic effects for Trap Jaw's cybernetic armor
Freehanding the "Evil Spray" label
Using specular highlights to make every surface pop
As always, I focus not only on what colors I'm using, but why I'm placing them where I do, so you can apply these same concepts to your own projects.
Happy painting!
