@verysamish I have done pieces the opposite way, although they weren’t commissions for a client, just for fun. I started out with a drawing done digitally in just black line art. Then took the thumb drive of the file to Office Max to have it printed on canvas or heavy card stock in a larger size. (If card stock, I paint on clear gesso or acrylic matte gel before the next step) Then I paint the colors in with acrylic paint or gouache. (If gouache, the final step is several coats of spray Krylon, if acrylic paint, that is enough.

FUN!

@Melanie-Ortins Very dramatic composition! It's great!

@Heather-Boyd Thanks, Heather. THere's a few OUTSTANDING ones I will "like" with the up arrow.
