My First (and possibly last) Painting

It's been a while since I started my painting (I've been a bit distracted with other things) so I've only just gotten around to adding a touch of colour yesterday and toady:

I'm not that impressed with my efforts and the above example is not my first, second or even third attempt and there is simply too much bleeding of the black lines for my liking.

I might try again or I might do it slightly differently, I'm going to have a think about it...

Giving It A Go

I've never done any painting before in my life (until now) so for the last few days I have been experimenting with different types of masking tape and paint brushes to see how I get on with it and then today I decided it was time to put all my testing together and see how I get on painting my first masterpiece!...

Now that I've ruled out the outline of the painting I can add some masking tape ready for painting the black.

Now the masking tape is on I can apply the black lines and the remove it for the straightest lines I can possibly do.

A little bit of bleeding, now to do the rest and then start colouring it in which I shall do once the black has properly dried.

Again, using 'modern techniques' I have decided on the colour scheme for this to be painted in:

It's going to take a while to paint this as I have to get the black lines perfectly straight first before adding the correct colours to each section.

After much deliberation I have decided on none of the previous edits and have decided to paint this version:

Thanks to (crude) computer technology I have made some slight edits to my art work and I now have to decide which one I will end up painting:
