Freehand Acrylic Artwork
 
I'm not sure if this should even go here but this is a good friend of mines art that he has been working on. Don't know if anyone here is into this kind of thing but I think a lot of them are pretty cool and I would like to share them with you all. Anyways here you go

I paint. I sell my work.

I like some of the subject matter (I'm a sucker for robots), the 'mashup' pieces are interesting. But, I have some basic advice.

A) It appears he is painting on canvas covered cardboard. These are great for practice, but most folks are going to want a proper canvas if they are going to hang it on their wall. If you don't have a decent art store locally, order them in a multipack from the web. For small paintings, I prefer to work on wood panels. Wood panels need to be prepared with a base coat.

B) He needs to work on color saturation and finishing work. I can see canvas poking through in some places, and some edges are visible. The large surface areas have uneven color.

Again, I like his ideas, but he needs to kick up the finish level.

i also dig robots, etc. if they were on an actual canvas, i'd buy that stuff.
