My 1 1/2 Year Project Completed

After 1 1/2 years and plenty of complaining about my "timeline" from my brothers and husband this project is finally completed. The last step is getting prints made and put up for sale on my Etsy account.

Here is a photo-log of the process. I'm so happy it's over and pleased with the final result.

The preliminary sketch:


My workspace:


Supplies:


Starting to take shape:


The first panel was the left one:


Finished the middle:

Characters completed:


The perfect background color:

Right panel with background color:


The finished product:


I was surprised at how much the blue background color changed the entire look of the piece. It makes the characters really pop and almost adds a cartoon-y feel to it.

I hope you like it and I'm sure my brothers will be happy to finally have their painting done. Love you guys!

Spray Paint

I have never used spray paint before. After watching this artist create this in seconds I'm completely amazed.

My husband even said "Why can't you do stuff like that?"

Holy buckets.

More crazy fun artists

My friend Amelia sent me a link to this cool website and I had to share it with you all.

This artist paints on books to create art. I could never do this because of my deep love for old books, but it is pretty amazing what's been done.

Enjoy.
