This is the fun part! Let your creative juices flow as you take control of your canvas. Utilizing the colors you selected for your paint markers, begin coloring in your piece. As a beginner, I am hoping you selected a very simple design for the first time around. If not, then save the darkest colors for last so you can cover any bleeds or flaws towards the end.
Once you are through painting, it is recommended that you allow a significant period of time for drying. There is much argument in the sneaker customization world about how long you should let your sneaker artwork dry. Usually, three to four days is an adequate amount of time to allow for the paint to bond and cure properly. Make sure the area you place you sneakers in during this time is at room temperature and free of humidity.
If you purchased a can of aerosol clearcoat, apply that to your sneaker on the second day of the drying process. Use a very light coating when spraying onto each sneaker. You don't want to create any drips.
