SAMURAI TWO Quite complex patterns on this samurai but worth the  effort I think.   SHITAGI (shirt) 1. AP-WP1102 - Matt White mixed with AP-WP1117 - Ash Grey and AP-AP-WP1121 - Desert Yellow 2. plus AP-WP1102 - Matt White 3. plus more AP-WP1102 - Matt White 4. pure AP-WP1102 - Matt White SHITAGI PATTERN I painted the shirt white first, and then I marked on where  the small circles were going to be with a soft pencil, very  lightly. Then I painted the small circles in using only the  main colour and one highlight. Then I dotted in the very  tiny dots in black. Green small circles 1. AP-WP1109 - Goblin Green  2. AP-WP1109 - Goblin Green  plus AP-WP1102 - Matt White Red small circles 1. AP-WP1104 - Pure Red 
2. AP-WP1104 - Pure Red plus AP-WP1102 - Matt White Tiny black dots 1. AP-WP1101 - Matt Black KOBAKAMA (tight trousers) 1. AP-WP1127 - Tanned Flesh  plus AP-WP1104 - Pure Red plus AP-WP1102 - Matt White 2. plus AP-WP1102 - Matt White 3. plus more AP-WP1102 - Matt White 4. plus even more AP-WP1102 - Matt White KOBAKAMA PATTERN I started this pattern by marking a circle of dots to be the  centre of the flower, and then I painted in all of the petals  for that flower. When I had done one flower I marked out  the next one, far away enough from the first so the petals  didn’t overlap. I repeated this process till the trousers  were full of flowers. Don’t worry if the petals are a bit  wobbly, that just adds to the ascetic asymmetric Japanese look. Black flowers 1. AP-WP1101 - Matt Black mixed with AP-WP1125 - Skeleton Bone  2. plus AP-WP1125 - Skeleton Bone
