Alice in Chains Acrylic Anime Painting
This is my latest painting and the like. I had a few canvas panels and the like. I decided to finally try painting on a canvas and I must stay that it was a bit different. I do not know if there is something wrong with my canvas or what, but it was somewhat annoying. Still, I pushed on, and then I was able to produce something of worth. All commercial canvases come with gesso, so they are ready to paint. The surface of this canvas was a little blocky, so, when I added the paint, it looked a bit...
Anime Watercolor Chapter Painting for my Fantasy Book
This is another chapter image for my fantasy book. It is a bit of a work in process. On their own, people seem to like them a lot. I put a lot of thought into the chapter images. I first reread the chapter and the pick a scene. It is important that the chapter image intrigues people, but that it doesn’t reveal much of the plot. If you get the entire plot just from one image, people will not have the incentive to read the rest of the chapter. If they can just scroll through the book and just read...
Self Portrait with Dog
This is another one of my self-portraits. The dog was an American cocker spanial. He was the last dog I owned. He came around the time that my old man died. So, he was there to fill a void created in the family dynamic. My mom was visiting a friend at a farm. While there, she saw the dog raising a fuzz, barking all the time. The owner was complaining about the dog, and how much he hated it. Mother on a whim said that if he did not want it, she would take it. This is how we ended...
Self Portrait with Acrylics
This is a self portrait I made using my acrylic set. I drew this based on an old photo I had lying around somewhere. My uncle when he visited brought a bunch of old photos to tug at my heart string. This photo was included in the set. Needless to say, it did not work. He is a douche, but he is my mom’s brother. As such, I had to be polite to the bastard. Frankly, if I saw him in the street I would not recognize him. I only putted up with him because I used to play with...
Front Cover for My Unpublished Fantasy Book
Last night, I completed this lovely watercolor painting. As of late, I have been practicing with my watercolors. The style is obviously anime. I first drew the figures with pencils. Afterwards, I drew over them with a pen. I then cleaned out all the pencil marks to make it all nice and sleek. I then did the colors with watercolors. I first saw this drawing technique in an old anime book I read in High School. I do not remember the title. However, I do remember the subject matter. It was about Mangaka artists and their techniques. One of the...
