Tutorial - Painting clothing for cosplay! (Prompto) (Patreon)

Hey guys! Here I will be showing you how I made these Prompto pants from a base pair I had! This method can be used for almost anything so I hope you find it useful for other projects!

Materials used:
- Grey pants
- Light brown spray paint
- Black, brown, yellow and orange acrylic paint
- Iron on transfer paper (Printed the graphics on)

Here are the base pants! I believe I got these at Goodwill for $5, we have quite a bit of detail to put into it though, so here we go!

I lightly sprayed the pants with some brown spray paint on the areas I was going to be putting the cheetah print design on! Please do this outside so you do not breathe in any paint fumes.

This is where the more tedious work comes in! I took some yellow/orange paints and started to rub them into the base pants to give a nice faded gradient.

To get the cheetah pattern all over and unified I made a pattern! I use this pattern here and transferred it to thick poster paper, then cut out the holes! I placed the poster paper now with the holes cut out onto the paints and pressed it down the fabric as much as I could, I then took the black paint and just started painting over the poster paper! When I took the poster paper off it revealed the pattern I wanted, I then just rotated that and repeated the pattern all over!

And ta dah! You have some nice printed pants, but we just have a few more details to go into!

I used this t-shirt transfer paper to get the patches onto the pants! You simply just print of the graphic, cut it out and iron it on!

Here is how it looks! Pretty nice but a little too clean for my taste.

There we go! I took some black fabric paint and rubbed it on the edges of the iron on transfers to make them look more realistic and aged! You can do this method for all kinds of patch work as well!

I hope this gives you some insight on how to make your cosplay adventures a little easier. This is a super cheap method that anyone can afford and do! <3
