Art Artwork Creation thread

[Khastle]

I bought a cheap canvas bag off of amazon for like 15 bucks and decided to draw on it with Posca Markers. This is the first time I've worked in a medium other than pen and paper. If any of you guys know of a way that I might be able to layer a protectant over the bag or have worked with a similar medium before, any tips would be helpful.

Normally with paint and canvas, you could use a clear coat fixative to help protect the art, but I'm not certain it would work in this medium.

Still have a ways to go , the goal is to fill this in entirety by Christmas Eve haha. Started on this in October.

Sure thing, I've got entire sketchbooks full of drawings like this. I'll take some pictures when I've got a spare minute to flick through my books. They're a bit more detailed than this since it's an easier medium, imo.

Thank you bro, looking forward to it too. I'll post it here once I'm done :)

Damn, y'all are actually talented unlike me.

I need more people spam this thread so it's not just me spamming garbage work.

Very cool, the shading is very nice. Mad props on the colors and lighting. I have no idea how to do colors/shading well. What program did you use to make this?

I dunno man, yours is nice too. Your proportions on bodies is pretty solid. I wish I knew how to draw bodies well.

None for the shading/black, its charcoal and ink. I added color with photoshop.
What brand of clear coat do you use?

Oh wow! That's really cool. Do you have a picture of that before you used photoshop to color it?

I haven't really clear coated any of my art actually, but I use Pigma Micron 03s on Canson multimedia paper.

All of my art, except that one I have framed, just sit in my many sketchbooks. I need to scan them all in digitally. I want to try combining all of them into a GIANT drawing somehow, let people explore all of the years I've spent drawing.

If you have clear coat recommendations, please send them my way lol. The only time I've tried clear coating anything was when I tried drawing on my water bottle. I didn't do it right and it just bled and looked sad.

Go to Home Depot or like a hardware store and get house paint grade clear coat. I've been using the same bucket of clear coat for like a year now -- I got 2 quarts of it for about $40. I used it to paint furniture and I've been experimenting with using it on ink and watercolor and it turns out pretty nice without any bleeding.
