I'm using Acrylic for the first time today... any tips?

make sure you have a decent medium to go along with it. don't overdo shadowing and go easy on tint as well.

what's great about acrylic is you can go back later and fix mistakes, which is hard to do with oils and impossible with watercolor. what sucks is there's almost zero textural effects you can do with it, it all dries the same no matter the brush stroke.

I'm actually planning on doing some 3D texturing on sections of it using smashed up CD parts.. hopefully this works because it's harder than you might think to break a CD into a million different pieces.
