Muertos

Finally done with this piece! Overall, from a distance it looks good, but close up looks like crap. Painting turned out to be problematic. The line-work was done with paint pens. The black line-work was done with a black oil-based Sharpie pen while the white was done with a Japanese Zig Painty pen. The Sharpie performed very well despite the tip falling out a couple of times. The white pen was terrible! You could only draw a few lines before the tip started to dry out, which then required a resting period with the cap on before I could start again. Now that I know the Sharpies work well, I'll have to source some the next time I'm in the U.S.

Enjoy the pics...

Muertos WIP

Finally back to work on the projects started a few months back. Love the black Sharpie paint pen I've been using, but problems with the cheap white paint pen I bought locally...grrrr. Slow, messy progress.
