Materials You’ll Need

- Paintbrushes (thin and medium)
- A pencil
- A black permanent marker

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Preparing the Plate
Start by cleaning the plate thoroughly to ensure a smooth painting surface. Make sure to remove any dust or grease from the plate. Once clean and dry, place the plate on a flat surface ready for painting.
Step 2: Sketching Scooby Doo
Using a pencil, lightly sketch the outline of Scooby Doo on the plate. Begin with his head, ears, and trademark smile. Be sure to include his eyes, nose, and tongue. Use reference images if needed to keep the proportions accurate.
Step 3: Filling in the Colors
Now it’s time to bring your Scooby Doo plate to life with colors. Use the acrylic paints to fill in each section of Scooby Doo’s face. Start with the base color for his fur, typically a light brown or sandy color. Allow each color to dry completely before moving on to the next one to avoid smudging.
Step 4: Outlining and Details
Once all the colors have dried, take the black permanent marker and carefully outline Scooby Doo’s features. This will define his face and make it stand out. Add details like the spots on his fur, his collar, and any other distinguishing features to make your Scooby Doo plate even more authentic.
Step 5: Finishing Touches
After the paint and marker have dried, apply a clear varnish or sealant to protect your artwork and make it food-safe. Follow the instructions on the varnish or sealant product carefully, ensuring it is suitable for plates.
