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.
