How do you color the edges? Anonymous
Hey, for anyone else who had tried this. How did you usually color the edges of papercraft pieces? Especially around the crucially important pieces of a face?

My past experience, is that my markers suck. They bleed to much and are too dark.

Any other tips? Like using colored pencils or something?

<== I'm thinking of building this papercraft next

Before building, you need to color match as best as possible. Whether markers or colored pencils, you need to have a crazy-wide array to get it right.

Or, just use REGULAR PRINTER PAPER instead of cardstock for less white edges. Yes, REGULAR PRINTER PAPER works well, and gives you less to touch up, if anything!

I don't like that picture. Being close-up and in a high resolution creates the illusion that the Haruhi head is big. It's a really small piece and makes the white line issue look worse than it is.

Nice Haruhi head. You can clearly see the tweasers there. And yes, it is small and hard to assemble, but at least it looks good.

Hmm, I guess i shouldn't worry much since Gersang is about 32 pages. Or maybe I should build only the head with printer paper? Hmmmm.

I agree about the markers, the only color that they can do is black IMO.

For stuff printed in Pepakura, you can always use the tab painting option (I forget what it's actually called), that usually helps. The one you're looking at there uses the same technique, all 3D Paper models do. I never printed out a scanned one though, I've only built them from the pre-printed kits though.

Use watercolor pencils, best thing I have found so far. Works great for me, and you can mix and match colors.

Ugh...I just realized there's also the back parts to print and both parts are at the same page. HOW would this ever work?! Hmmm, time to make an algorithm...
