I know it is an apples to watermelons comparison, but wanted to get some feed back. I'm getting ready to do some serious practice and start painting. I have a good idea which route I need to go but wanted to get your opinion first.
My intension from the beginning is to use HOK paints to do my artwork on items such as motorcycles, cars and R/C bodies. Originally I was planning to use Createx as practice since it was cheap. As I have been on the forum, I realized that to get the results I want I would be better off upgrading to Createx Illustration instead. Well at this point, it no longer makes it cheaper than HOK. It is a 2$ difference for 8 ounces.
So here's my question, since cost is no longer a factor, should I practice with the same paint I plan to paint with? Seams like a no brainer to me, but there may be things that I'm not considering. Such as, I'll be practicing on paper. Will HOK give me accurate results on paper or should I use Illustration for paper and HOK for the rest?
I look forward to all your feedback.
