Oh I KNOW you want to order these Mario Figurines for yourself!
And something for me? I'd really have to say a giftcard so I could put it toward getting this set of paintbrushes!
Paper: For the clear paper, I've recently been using an acetate alternative called Dura-Lar by Grafix. They USED to carry them at Michaels but you are more likely to find them at locally owned art stores.

Pen: Next, you'll need an Ultra Fine Sharpie in black (Extra Fine is also acceptable if you can't find Ultra). This will trace the pattern on your paper without smudging it. Link: Ultra Fine Sharpie Permanent Marker
Brushes: You'll also need paint brushes! If you look at the link provided after this, the brown brushes on the left side of the picture are perfect for dabbing in larger areas. The brushes on the right are great for getting into sharp corners or tiny spaces (which these BOI ones did). You don't need this specific set, art stores will have individual brushes that'll work great. Get 5 or so in different sizes. Paint Brushes
Last but not least, you'll want a wide assortment of Acrylic paints. Brands like Cermacoat, FolkArt and Deco-Art Americana are perfect because they're thick enough and vibrant enough. You really want to get a lot of different colors since some you can't mix and match accurately. Link:Cermacoat Acrylic Paint
I'm really bad at explaining things, so here's a YouTube video with the steps (you can fastforward a lot): How to make cel animation
Tips and more thoughts: Trace you design (you'll probably need to go over it twice to make it dark), flip over the acetate and dab the in paint. Dabbing is important because it leaves it thick and doesn't create streaks. Colors will dry lighter or darker, so you can either remove wet paint with a napkin or dry paint by using your fingernail to scrape it off in the specific area. It's okay if you go outside the lines because you can use your nail to push paint back into the right spot.
Hold up the cel to the light and you can see where the paint is thin and needs another coat. Dab in more paint until you cannot see through it when you hold it up.
For the Isaac cells, I drew in all the shaded areas and removed the marker lines with a wet toothpick or hard part of a Q-Tip. Rub it into the marker area and it'll disappear, leaving only the shaded paint:
Polyphemus without the lines removed
Hmm, what else? Oh, use wood toothpicks to paint in sharp corners. It makes them precise and nice-looking if you're removing some lines later!
And finally, a few pictures of progress:

Dark Bum after he was drawn... if you think that looks weird, you should have seen Polyphemus

Finished the black paint and flipping him over!
If you have any other questions, let me know! Like I said, I'm really bad at explaining things and I've been doing this for a really long time, so I tend to forget to explain steps. These are great for kids to make, and make nice gifts to be framed. They can be quick to make, or take a really long time. The most complex one I made was the album cover to "The Resistance" by Muse and took 6 months and over 100 hours to complete.

This means our implements are bonded through our mutual love of artistic expression.
Awesome. Thanks! I hate spending money on cleansers rather than products or brushes, you know?
Also, sidenote, I've seen on this sub that people buy paint brushes instead of makeup brushes. Would these be the type that people might buy?

Let's share its beauty.
:)
Pamper yourself with THESE!!! I have this exact set and it's been phenomenal. Honestly they are loooong handled and pretty much weigh just right. They aren't over $50 dollars though and I am still recommending these beautiful brushes.
The item I would love most for myself at this time is Super sculpey to add to a Raffy vinyl figure to customize it and paint it after cooked.
Dang girl
One last question; what type of brush should i use with the FX palette? Can i use regular ones like these or should i go for a specific kind?
