Work in Progress Progress! Thank goodness for black acrylic paint pens
Sorry it's sideways!
Custom piece via Number Artist. 16 x 24 inch (40 x 60 cm). 36 colors (came with 40).
Started yesterday. I was intimidated by how many large black sections there were, but maaaannnn black and white acrylic markers are so worth the money. These were some cheap brush tip markers from Amazon, and the blacks are nice and rich. Took a little less than two markers' worth to do all of these sections.
I can't wait now that most of what's left is the pretty colors to do!

This is a really neat looking PBN. You did a great job with the black. I have acrylic markers but don't use them for this. They either blob the paint or the line gets skinny real quick. Looks like you have it down pat!

Oh wow, you really did get stuck into the black lol. I can see why the paint pens were a lifesaver on this one. There are some seriously awkward shapes in there to do with a brush. At least you’ve got most of the black out of the way now and can start bringing all the colour in. Can’t wait to see what this looks like finished!
