Cornhole Board Design #3

All righty kiddies, kittens and daddy-o's...Here is the other cornhole board.
This is the first time that I have done anything on this scale and with more than one color paint. Basically I sat down and started drawing lines with my Mack #0 Pinstriping brush.

The only lines that I laid down to start were the grid lines. I don't think that it's perfect, but at least it looks cool, will stand out when set up with other boards, and hopefully the pair will be a conversation starter.

Both boards were done using 1-Shot enamel sign painters paint. COLORS used: lettering White, Orange, and Peacock Blue.





















And the pair together below. No too shabby.
















SUGGESTION:
Try and draw a symmetrical shape.

HOW TO DO THIS:
Start out with a grid to give yourself an anchor point, then dive right in. It is a little harder than it looks. Good Luck!!

Cornhole Board Designs

Here is the latest from my mind. This is a rough for the face of my cornhole game boards.

Some of you might recognize this from a classic film. The image I am referring to is of Slim Pickens riding an A-bomb and yelling "YEA-HAW!" while coming down to earth. Obviously a twist by making it a corn cob to tie it with my cornhole set.

I plan on doing this on one board and doing some Von Dutch style pinstriping on the other.
The boards are semi-gloss black and the colors that I would do the pinup in would be a simple line drawing using Peacock Blue 1-Shot paint.
The pinstripe will be 3 colors: Peacock Blue, White and Orange. (This will look sweet!!)

That is it for now.

SUGGESTION:
Learn about the pinstriping brush.

HOW TO DO THIS:
Ask an artist you know.

Welcome to Coolville, USA!!

Welcome to Coolville, USA.

Coolville is any place you can think of. It represents everything that YOU think is "cool."

Cool to me is: hot rods, pinups, pinstriping, flame jobs, horsepower, American steel, drawing, painting, old faded tattoos on your grandpa's arms, nostalgia, retro, car shows, vintage locomotives, speed shops, non-conformist artists and other creative types, Airstream campers, hunting (with a bow and arrow of course), fishing, feodras, plain black shoes, wingtips, oldies/big band/jazz/swing/country/rockabilly music, prop planes, Western/Native American culture, any of the aforementioned things from the 20's to the 60's timeframe.

So in the spirit of American entreprenuership, I will post my own artwork for viewing. There will be quite a range of subject matter to keep you entertained.

So kiddies, dames and daddy-o's...Sit back, relax and read on for ramblings and thoughts on everyday life in Coolville, USA.
