Equipment

  • Printer

Ingredients

  • 3 Canvases
  • Acrylic paint – I used the basic ones: cyan magenta, Yellow, and white and mixed them to get the colors I wanted
  • Brushes
  • 6 B pencil
  • Regular pencil

Instructions

  • I started by looking for some illustration examples on the Internet so I could get an idea.
  • Then I made them using my Adobe Illustrator, you can use your favorite app.
  • When I had them done I printed them in the same size as the canvas.
  • I made 3 wall arts and illustrated a baby elephant, a giraffe, and a cute hippo. But you can go ahead and let your imagination fly, and make a lion, rhino, zebra, tiger, monkeys, kitties, puppies, etc.
  • I traced the whole shape of the drawings on the back of the paper using the 6B pencil. It is softer and darker.
  • I traced it roughly making the lines thicker.
  • Then I placed the paper over the canvas’s right side facing up – the penciled side facing the canvas – and started tracing again the whole drawing but this time very carefully.
  • This would transfer the drawing to the canvas.
  • I repeated the process with the other 2 canvases.
  • Then I started to paint one canvas at a time, paying attention to details and trying my best to make paint lines as steady as possible LOL.
  • When I had them done I would let them dry overnight. I was actually making them mostly at night when Emma was sleeping.
  • So that’s it… The animal wall arts are ready!
