Hi y'all! I'm looking to create lettering for a sign I'm building. I wanted these letters to be 3D, and have a slightly translucent, pearlecaent look.

The letter in the photo is made of modge podge 3D magic on top of a cricut print. I then tried to paint it. However, I wish it was thicker, and the paint cracks and is uneven. I've thought about 3D printing them, but I'm not sure if I can get the translucent look with that, and I have only just set up my 3D printer and never used it. I really don't want to do epoxy or acrylic, as these letters are large and I need them to be very precise. I would also have to make a mold for that, which would take way too much time. I thought about using hot glue, but again, probably won't be clean enough.

Does anyone have any ideas on what I could build these out of? Or is 3D printing really my best bet?

I think the picture is self explanatory.

I decided to try sharpening pencils with a knife in the professional way, but the tip of the pencil keeps breaking off (believe it or not, I got all these two days ago and I have already destroyed them just by sharpening them, without using them).

I just do not understand how to sharpen them evenly. Any helpful tips?

I started this project to get my joy back while dealing with multiple chronic conditions and to spend more time off screen. I’ve learn so much over the past weeks from needle felting, through knitting, crochet to even making basic electric circuits to get the lights right where I want them! Will be sharing more as I go :) Hope this video brings joy to your day! 🫶

Like, are they different enough from each other? Is the shape language conveyed well enough? Stuff like that.

Hey Reddit, I'm looking for advice for this almost surrealist,( intent = surrealist ) painting, I would consider myself a beginner at painting although I do vector artworks for a living.

This is done on A4, Acrylics: the image is horizontalsun at the back is an apple. I dont know, how to render all that well yet. Advice on that on "small" pages like these would be wonderfull.
