i think you kinda sped through drawing them, they don't look to cleanly drawn and have mistakes. But your probably going to fix that when you are painting over them. Can't really say much about it now, want to see it when its done though. Looks like a long project so good luck.

Not a bad idea. it works... you can also try matte board, it fairly cheap and it works... but you have to weight it down on the edges so it doesnt curl when u paint it..

its acrylic. I use to do alot of oil paint, but i cant stand how long it takes to dry, and i like the way blending works with acrylic better...

I was skim reading it, noticed the black/white part dunno' how I missed that one. >_>

 

 

 

How big is the canvas? I see which picture of bob marley you are working from, good luck making his hair look dreadlock-like.

yeah :S i had trouble with kurts face, eyes, nose, lips, everything.. ill fix it when i start on his face.

 

 

 

 

 

only crit atm is his mouth looks a bit flat D:

 

Thanks, i'll see what i can do to fix that.

Could you post refs? ;P

 

 

 

Also, if you want the lips to look more protuding and curved, you'll need to define the light better and use lots of contrast to define certain parts ;@

we'll im in art class in school, so i get as much free canvas as i can use pretty much... but my teacher orders hers from...http://www.utrechtart.com/

 

 

 

you can also buy canvas pad which is A LOT cheaper that premade stretch canvas, or even stretcher bars, gesso, and cotton canvas.

 

 

 

its not as good for work if ur looking to sell it, but people would still buy if you get it framed.
