I started working on my first mural on Monday. It's part of Local Color's Gallery 408 Blowout. (click the link to learn more about Local Color) I'm doing my EMN design on a wall that's about 4-5 feet wide and 8 feet tall. There's also a fire extinguisher that's going to hang there so I'm working around that and the sign. It's a lot different than drawing with ink on paper or digitally, like I'm used to, and I'm learning as I go. The image below is after 9 hours of drawing with pencil, 2 coats of white for the eyes & teeth and the little bit of black outlines. I started by drawing directly on the wall then sketching it as I went along. I also tested some colors and decided on a minty green fill and blue border. I have 2 more days to finish it but I'm hoping I can do it in one. Wish me luck!
