Buffalo mural

[packerbacker]

I started painting this 4 x 5 ft mural on the wall where I worked but never got it done before I left. Only got the base coat on the buffalo and the foreground but a lot of people thought it was done. It was painted with oil base sign paint.

Pretty cool. Also an artwork forum. Maybe I'll drag somethin out, or maybe I won't. But I'm interested in seein what other folks have.

do it rg. Here's one I did when I was 17 and sailing the South China Sea. Gotta remember I had nothing to look at and no training. I know the nose could use some fixin' but maybe he was in a lot of fights. It's done in oils.

Thanks all! BC, I feel everyone can draw. To me, writing is the same as drawing and, if you can write, you can draw. Just gotta work on refining it. I've always wanted to teach kids how to draw but never did except for a few family members here and there.

I have worked with many artists and few if any could pick up a pencil or charcoal and sketch an image. I myself probably use more art gum than pencil while sketching. Getting prospective and proportions the same as the model is an extremely hard task. da Vinci could pick up crayon and sketch a perfect circle. I have tried it many times, but never succeed. That's why I usually do the sketching in the computer, hay! it's easier to erase! Frank...

I don't know how to draw with a computer. Thing is, maybe da Vinci could draw a perfect circle but Picasso could draw an abstract circle.
