Hand painting my toys

 Since spray painting didn't work yesterday I decided that today I would practice hand painting my toys instead. This looked much better than the sprayed versions. However, I was worried that I would leave brush strokes on the toys if I hand painted them. To make sure that I didn't leave any brush strokes I added about 3 layers of acrylic paint to each toy.

Here you can see the layers of paint that I added. I would paint the main colour first (body and face) and then do the eyes, bill and tail afterwards. This helped avoid paint marks overlaying and the toy looking messy.
