Description
Yes, I do traditional work sometimes, usually for school because then I can just steal my school's paints.
I should really do more, instead of just doing paintings I'm forced to do, then I might improve in it at the same rate I do in digital work.
Unfortunately my scanner's pretty small and my piece is kinda big, yet I can't scan it in bits and stitch it because my scanner has a stupid lip so it gets a gap between its surface and the painting itself, so the colours go all dodgy, thus all I can do is take a bleedin' photograph of the thing at a stupid time of day and wish I'd done it earlier/had the patience to wait.
Ugly lighting, and I do apologise for making the whole thing ever so slightly wonky when I took the snap.
This isn't finished yet(and probably never will be as long as I know I can keep layering paint on - good old opaque paint; this baby's gonna be three inches thick by the time I'm through with it
) - it needs general smoothing out, bits and bobs editing, but for want of something better to do I thought I'd submit it.

I know this is old but it's awesome! Any advice to work realistically with acrylics?
