Back in my freshman year of high school, I took Intro Art class, and our final project was to create a cel painting by using acrylic paint. Me being a huge LBT Fan at that time, I decided to do one based on the last scene of the first movie. We had to trace the original reference onto a plastic sheet and then use acrylic paint to fill in the traced lines. Then, the background had to be painted with watercolor on paper. It's not perfect but it was the best I could do at the time with whatever art supplies that were available. It's been a few years since I've done this project, and I think it's one of my greatest achievements that still holds up to this very day.

Great job!
You even have separate cel and background!
Do you have more? Would love to see it!

@Sneak
Nope, that's the only one I ever made.

Hello and welcome to the GoF! :rainbowwave
That's pretty cool! I've never done any cel painting before. Have you thought of getting back into artwork by any chance? I found that drawing helped me get back into franchise and a good reason to try something I haven't done in a long time again.

Hey LBT Fan! This is so cool :D
I love the mom cloud in the background - lovely background in general! I should really get into watercolors. Very cool idea to make a cel. I'm glad it worked out so well for you!

First of all, I don't have the materials available to do more cels, but I like sketching from time to time.

Welcome to the forum! This is a very cool piece :Mo

What a delightful piece of art! I really dig the vivid colors, and you simulate the warm atmosphere of the original scene very well c:
Are you planning on doing more of these, if you ever get the right supplies?

Really nice job aside from a small colour error on Littlefoot's snout .
I had a go at doing a animation cel myself not too long ago
