The Jetsons

Kim was harassing me for not doing the Jetsons yet. Seeing as how she suggested them way back with the Flintstones... I had some sketched out before but didn't like them enough. This was my most recent design and I really like it. I think they're all recognizable. Which is important!

*sings* Meet George Jetson...

His boy Elroy...

Daughter Judy...

Jane his wife....

*end of song* Why did they leave out Astro?

And the tutorial. I've included my background color polishes in this pic. All the rest of the details and skin tone were done using acrylic paint.

1.  Base colors

 2. Black paint for hairlines

 3. Fill in appropriate skin tone. (It took 3 thin coats of beige acrylic paint to make it completely cover the base colors. So be patient and thoroughly let each layer dry)

 4. Add black outline details to facial features and refine. (If you're black line is accidentally too thick? Just wait until it dries and go along side it with beige to narrow the line back down.)

 5. Whites of the eyes and details to Astro's snout.

 6. Pupils

 7. Ready for a layer of topcoat once everything is dry. Acrylic paint dries so much faster than polish. So don't think you're having to wait 5-10 minutes between steps. It's more like 1-2 minutes. I usually let it dry for about 5 minutes once I'm finished with all the details before applying the topcoat. That's all it takes.

I hope this helps someone, and if you recreate these please let me know! I'd love to see them.
