Diggy Smerdon ‘Custom…’ video

Illustrator Diggy Smerdon has recently released a video of her creating a one-of-a-kind surfboard.

The Avalaan Familia artist puts down her trademark panda illustration on both sides of a shortboard before it's prepped for the water by shaper Luke Young.

But it isn't a simple paint job, Smerdon uses Posca pens, liquid acrylic, Indian ink, charcoal and soft pencil with some finesse.

Big!
