Speed Racer
I painted this as a gift to Lisa, a friend at work. She had seen Dina's Speed Racer picture and wanted one for herself.

I finished this one on 6-1-04. I inked in the pencil sketch I did and then painted it with watercolors. The pose was inspired by one done for the new version of Speed Racer. I thought it would be cool to see all the classic characters in that pose.

The one thing I learned painting this was that part of my problems with painting was the fact that I had purchased some really cheep student watercolors. I'm going to try a few different (and hopefully better ^_~ ) brands in future paintings. Unfortunately my budget doesn't allow me to just chuck out the lot and buy new.

I also used a heavier paper on this project, about 100-120lb (250g/m2). All I had previously was 90lb paper, which buckles quite a bit when wet. I really haven't had any luck stretching it, so I will probably use up what I have making cards or practicing techniques. It seems to work well enough for that.

Unfortunately, due to paint problems, I couldn't shade it as well as I would have liked, but I think it turned out ok. Lisa really seemed to like it, and that’s what really matters.
