The two emblems that depict pride in our country - excellent work and the eagle is magnificent - just as he should be!

Re: My first acrylic attempt.
Awesome!!
I LOVE IT!!
Very well done, esp for yur first acrylic, I can see you handled them well!!
Dark darks and bright highlights help make it really stand out.
Might just be the photo thats paling the darks.
Great tones and colors too!!

You can resize your photos in Adobe paint shop or something similar,
make image 800x600 minimum then it will fit and make it easier to see!!

Re: My first acrylic attempt.
Amazing job, especially on the feathers. I must say I am a little jealous of your feathers. Where did you learn to do those?
