Painted Cute Teddy Bear in Pocket - pocket hug token

I do have a 20W M2 machine, I wanted to test out the 20W laser module with kinda different settings. This is a small project to play with.

You can adjust it for your machine, and also if you want to make this design smaller / bigger, darker lines, etc. I like the way it turned out.

(Lines are engraved to make a mark, it's easier to paint this way.)

I always sand my designs to clear all excess charring. Use a fine grip sanding paper. Clean it after.

Of you want to make it colorful, you can paint it. As I generated this graphic as a line drawing, I did not use the built-in paint function in my M2, but painted by hand instead. I used Ohuhu acrlyic markers - you can play with the colors, if you want to paint this design differently. I made the nose and eyes dark enough, so you don't need to care about small things much :)

Let it dry completely

I used matte varnish to finalize my design - added a light coat all over (front, back and the sides as well) to make it extra durable.
That's it - you can add a cute backing card to it, and ready to hand it over.

Feel free to use this design - the picture itself is made with AI.
