Stitch Astronaut Paint by Numbers

A Stitch astronaut paint by numbers kit with a starry navy sky

Stitch wears a white spacesuit and a clear helmet and sits on the surface of a planet. His long pointed ears stick out of the suit, and cyan reflections cross the visor. Behind him, a deep blue night sky is full of stars. The scene has two layers: the grey ground in front and space behind. The navy sky gives you large areas to paint at a steady pace, while the blue shades of the helmet and suit sit close together and need more care. The level is intermediate, with medium areas and some fine details.

Tips for painting this design

Start with the navy blue sky and the stars, since these are the largest and darkest areas. Paint the grey surface of the planet next, then the white suit. Keep the helmet and visor for last, because the cyan and pink reflections sit side by side and blend quickly if the paint is still wet. Use the fine brush for the ears and the outline of the face. A 40x40 cm canvas is large enough for this level of detail, and the 50x60 cm gives you bigger sections if you prefer more room.

Sizes, colours and painting time

The design comes in 12 sizes, from 20x20 to 50x60 cm. The square formats (20x20, 20x20, 40x40 and 50x50 cm) match the orientation of the design. You choose a kit with 24, 36 or 48 colours, on rolled canvas with or without a wooden frame to assemble. Allow around 12 to 30 hours depending on the size. Once finished, the blue and navy palette suits a child's bedroom or a games room. If you like Disney characters, our Disney paint by numbers range has more to choose from, and every Stitch design is in the Stitch paint by numbers collection.
