Does this look weird?

[cindymac11 43]

SO, I am painting a bunch of disney characters on the walls of our upstairs livingroom. I wanted some of them to be doing my daughters favorite things. For example, she likes stories about magic - - - thus Sorcerer Mickey.  I also have tigger playing the violin because she plays the violin.

 

My question is, I found a picture of goofy playing basketball that I can project it on the wall and trace it, but she doesn't play basketball. I removed the basketball and replaced it with a volleyball in photoshop. The question is...does it look weird?  I mean, in the strictest sense...he's not dressed for volleyball...but changing his outfit is beyond my skill level.

Not that I know anything about drawing, painting, or Photoshop, but how about adding part of a volleyball net instead of changing Goofy's outfit?

This might also be above my skill level. If someone else hasn't drawn it for me, it's not happening...but it's a good idea!!!!

If only there was a Fiend that had some drawing, painting, and Photoshop ability.

I think the swap of the volley ball looks fine.  :)

Don't you need something to do today, or are you still polishing your ping pong balls?

I see you have no clue as to how long it takes to polish a world class collection of ping pong balls.

Well take a break and draw the poor woman a volleyball net.

I have no idea what happened with the previous post.......

The HTML gods must be angry about something.

Disney has a couple of pins with Goofy playing volleyball. Do either one of them do anything for you?

HMMM, I might be about to work with the net on the 2nd one.  The drawings have to be pretty simplistic for me to work with.

[cindymac11 43]

Ya know, my other dilemma with the whole project is that all my characters MUST be standing on something. For example, the bottom of Mickey's shoes are on top of the baseboard.  I can't have random characters floating around (I am illustrating my OCD tendancies). I am doing Fairy Minnie Mouse, so she'll be flying around above the TV niche. They all have to be the same size-ish too.  The front wall has a TV niche and these two weirdo niches on either side that quite frankly make no sense. They might get shelves eventually, which would give the characters something to stand on. :1sm056pullhair:

 

I am happy to have the fiends however. Most of my friends think I am a lunatic for doing this in the first place. Given that we have no really young children. :smug:

And don't hesitate to use markers instead of paint for certain elements. You can get them in very large flat tip widths.

I fill in the character and other items, then out line it with a black marker rather than try to paint the outline. The marker outline gives you a fool proof line width.

Are you offering to help me with my project or Lou with this ping-pong balls? :rofl2:

I have been using a black paint pen to do the outline over the pencil lines I make with the projector. Are there other marker types you'd recommend? To fill them in,  I'm just using basic $.69 acrylic paint from Michael's because I am cheap.

The project, not Lou's balls ; )

It really just looks a little Goofy.

[Timsmith7 36]

Have you considered using stencils for the artwork?

Can you draw a net for goofy???

I STINK at working with stencils. I am much better at projecting and freehand painting. I outline with a paint pen and do very little (if any) shading.
