Cute stuff!

Try playing around with small foam rollers (trim rollers from Home Depot)

Roll on a base coat of flat latex white to give your work a good backround.

Have fun!

Ralph,

This might save you a little time...

Draw the images and fill in the colors with a brush or roller, then just use black and white for the highlights/shadows. A lot faster than spraying everything and less overspray when you're done.
Finish it with outlines last.

Hope this helps...
Rapid

I think your work looks very nice, Ralph. I see a definate style that shows through what you're doing, and I like it.

Please keep posting pix if you have time....

I like these too Ralph, and the "soft" airbrushed look adds something.. dunno what that something is, but the effect is nice!
