River Heaven pencil outline

Here it is - I had to buy some new canvases, as I'd ran out to 40cm x 60 cm, and the ratio of this image is 2:3, so a 40cm x 50cm canvas wouldn't have done. Normally, I just expand the sides or top and bottom a little, but that would have changed the image significantly, so it was better to buy another canvas. I seem to have quite a few square canvases sat waiting for the right sized image ...


Here's the whole canvas:

And here's a close-up of the top:

and the bottom:

I'm looking forward to painting this one - I absolutely love the style of okami, its such a shame I didn't like playing it, because it is just beautiful to look at.

Another Okami painting

Here's the image I'm painting next:

I love okami artwork, its so beautiful, I know I'm really going to enjoy this one! I'm going to start the pencil outline this afternoon.

Super Mario Galaxy is finished!

Here it is, I really enjoyed painting Mario, it was such fun!

And here's a close-up of each side:

The bounce of the flash on my camera makes the centre of each photo lighter than it really is, so try to ignore that!

Mario is wending his way to Birmingham, UK today, should arrive on Monday. Its only the 4th painting I've posted within the UK, most of my paintings end up in America, although I have sent a couple to Australia and Japan!

Super Mario nearly done

I've been painting for most of the morning, and have made progress! I've finished the planets and the black hole, and have started on Mario:

This one is such good fun to paint.

SMG update

I'm really enjoying painting this, the colours are so pretty, and I keep hearing Mario's voice in my head shouting "Wheheeeeeeeee!" as he shoots from one world to the next!


I've done a bit more, the swoosh was fun:

Then I decided to paint the star as well

I'm supposed to be going to a pre-launch 3DS event this afternoon, if I do, I won't be painting, and I've been told they only have 1 stylus controlled game available to play, so I'm not sure about going at all.

Super Mario Galaxy started

As the title says, I've been busy!


Here's the start of SMG - love this game, and am having fun painting it!

Here's the start of the sky - the blue I'm using is translucent, so I'm going to be overpainting it:

Here it is again, overpainted:

I'll be doing some more in the next couple of days.

Link's Awakening by camera, not phone!

Here's the finished picture, this time taken with my camera, not my phone! I'm learning new stuff - I can now take photos off the SD card in my camera without Lewie's help, I'm becoming more technically independent!


The finished picture:

Close-up of the bottom half:

I know I've said this already, but I loved painting this picture - the colours are so beautiful, it was just lovely to do! I think this has been one of my favourites to paint, so far!
