mini failures and mini successes

So here's a couple pictures relating to the prior post about making a sign for a comics section that was supposed to wrap around a wall. In the end, I did get to make the sign, which I thought turned out pretty well, aside from the easter-egg colors that ended up coming out when I tried to paint with wet acrylics on foam core. I felt that it didn't work, so posted with it is what I would have done had I planned better. Next time!

On the upside, I got to ink it with a sumi brush. That stuff is so much fun to play with!

i have a question..what advantage you get to paint such cartoon with sumi brush? I mean,dd u wanted to achieve any special texture or style before starting..

hey sorry for the late response, but i used the sumi brush because it was fat enough to do comic book style inking on a sign that was 4ft by 5ft.
