Intro

With your Ipaint parameters set and outline previewed (Ipaint Basic Guide 4), it’s time to bring your paint-by-numbers artwork to life! This guide covers drawing the outline and coloring your masterpiece using the LOKLiK app and Ipaint machine.


Step 1: Drawing the Outline

In the LOKLiK app, click the Start button to begin drawing the paint-by-numbers outline. Monitor the progress bar in the app to track the drawing progress and estimated completion time. While the machine works, you can prepare your paints or take a moment to grab a coffee to boost your focus.


Step 2: Coloring

Once the outline is complete, use the Acrylic Paint Kit with numbered bottle caps. Match the numbers on the canvas to the corresponding paint colors and fill in each section. After coloring, use a hairdryer to gently heat the canvas, erasing the heat-erasable pen’s outline for a clean, polished look.

Final Words

And that’s a wrap! Our tutorial on Paint by Numbers has come to an end. We hope this guide has been helpful in making it easier for you to use this creative machine. At HTVRONT, we truly believe that creativity makes life better, which is why we’re constantly developing and providing innovative DIY machines and products, including heat press machines, laser engravers, vinyl cutters, DTF printers, and more.

If you’re a seasoned HTVRONT and LOKLiK user, you’ve probably noticed that the LOKLiK app can seamlessly connect to multiple devices like laser engravers, vinyl cutters, and DTF printers. Fun fact: Ipaint can actually double as a vinyl cutter—just swap out the pen tip for a cutting blade! (Pretty surprising, right?)

Finally, we wish you endless joy in your creative journey. Enjoy the fun of crafting and the beauty of life!
