You did a great job on this. Maybe you should try experimenting with acrylic flow improver. Winsor & Newton makes it. It'll let you spread the paint out smoothly without the need to thin it out to a terrible degree.
Very interesting work though.

It's cool. Just a suggestion for thinning out the paint. You're work is great though. Especially this piece.

Can't help but to think "those life drawing classes really paid off" I like it cause it shows more of your character than usual. literly. Also...lol at acrylic being like maple syrup. I just did a stencil with acrylic imma upload it right now. But i used very little water to get the colours to be thick.

yeah i find i have to do to coats to get it opaque.. if i use alot of water it'll be kinda transparent.
i'll check out that stencil right now

cool! thanks
also if you use too much water it'll be pretty useless i find..too runny.

yeah, but also it thins the paint out too much as well.. by that i mean it breaks it down too much and it'll fade more easily over time.. thats why i always have to use a UV protective varnish on all my paintings.. im scared they'll fade

yeah... i made a bunch of canvases for my friends and was afraid they'd get damaged cause i had no sealer. Then my mom told me to use hair spray. That's what she used in russia...it works...i put it on the grip tape stencil too and it stayed put even after i cleaned the guidelines of the grip tape with cleaner stuff a brush and water. Next time i draw guidelines though imma do it with chalk..not acrylic...that's not bright...or maybe i'll just tape some plastic around the borders if i end up spray painting so that i don't get bleed.
does the uv protective varnish smell bad?

I like the subtle background. Hard to believe that's acrylics. I can't control them like that.

Good stuff, how was the figure drawn, with paintbrush and acrylic? It's pretty sweet.

Very awesome! I like the free space around the figur. This gaves him a special atmosphere! *___*
Something like 'I'm free'
