Step 1
Tape off the rubber parts of the shoes (or if you're really confident you can skip this step.
Step 2
Senketsu has an eyepatch on one eye, so make sure that you tape off the part that will stay black. Use the template cut out to make sure there's enough room for the X eye.
Step 3
Paint the front portion blue - This step takes about 3 coats, if you're impatient like me, you can use a blow drier to speed up this process.
Step 4
Use the masking tape to tape off a section for the red stripe on the sailor suit.
Step 5
Use the template to use the white pencil to sketch the eye.
Step 6
Use the masking tape to create a mask template for each layer, go from light to dark (except for the highlight) You can use the Xacto to create soft curves if you like.
Step 7
You could stop here if you want a basic Senketsu! If you want yours to have more bite, use a white Sharpie Paint Pen to draw on some cool teeth. I did these freehand, but I included an approximate shape in the template.
