Title: Painting of Calvin
Post by: Hobbes on Sun 10/07/2005 23:09:07
This painting isn't game-related at all. This weekend I went out and got myself a very, very basic starter kit in acrylic painting. At a loss at what to draw, I picked a random Calvin & Hobbes book from the bookcase and sketched Calvin on the canvas.

It's a pretty basic painting, but I wondered what you think of it. :)

I like it. The contrast between the white background and the colors looks great and the texture makes it look all the more artsy.

When I saw Hobbes was making a "Painting of Calvin", I had to click it. Very pretty. The curve on the right side protudes a bit too much though, as if he was chewing something. It doesn't match though, because his mouth is on the left

Thanks for the feedback guys.

About his mouth, true. When I first sketched it, I didn't pick up on it for some reason. Later, when I was well into the painting-process, I noticed it wasn't right... unfortunately, there was little I could do about it then.

Next time I'll be more critical of the sketch! :)

That's how his head is supposed to look. Surley you've seen the comics? http://images.google.com/images?q=calvin+and+hobbes&sa=Nab=ii&oi=imagest
