I love the koopa troopa! He was always my driver of choice and the paintings look pretty sweet. Great job!

Such fun paintings and perfect straight lines. I've recently started my hand on doing this kind of work, and it is so difficult to get straight lines. How do you manage that? A+, I say! Specially the donkey kong. :)

I think someone referenced way back that they draw the grid on the canvas first and then paint in the squares...i'm assuming with tape. We'll leave that question to the experts...

To answer the million dollar question.... no tape is used :)

I grid out the canvas into squares..and to get nice straight lines I just press the corner of the paintbrush to a corner in the square and use the side of the brush/bristles to create an edge line...I don't know if that makes sense..but I have no idea how to explain it better..

or perhaps...ninja skills...yeah, that's it. :P
