New things!

An interview of mine is going to be posted soon on an art blog (not giving too much away, but will keep you posted) and I had to supply a photo of "TBO at work" and this is what I did.

I had so much fun putting it all together that I decided to do a version for the header of this blog. Please refresh your browser if you cannot see it.

Hope you enjoy!

Lion Deck!

Hi Kids,
So I’ve been painting away yesterday and I’ve tracked my progress on how i go about it all.

Its no secret, I love lions!

Start with a pencil sketch, over an undercoat sprayed. These decks are stained in black, which is too deep to sand (with out sanding half the board away)

Place your flat colour

Start your “under strokes”.. my fav part, laying down your darks

More lights and details, stroke stroke stroke

A bit of a sand around the edges, and whiskers, more emphasis on the smaller details, etc etc… all done.

This was a little tricky with the paint as it didn’t absorb slightly like cardboard
