District 9 - Christopher Johnston, A Prawn in Progress.

Being a lover of sci-fi movies, it was only natural that I choose District 9 as a specimen for painting :)

I loved the aliens in this movie.

And I chose to study 'Christopher Johnston' for my first alien portrait.

Painting with acrylic is so much fun! I love how stress-free it is... made a mistake? Just let it dry and paint over the top!
I am useless at watercolours for this reason as it is very unforgiving to mistakes.

And voila! The finished space prawn! :)

I still have this painting in my bedroom. After a year of relisting it at my Etsy shop. I decided I loved my Prawn too much to sell him :)

Custom orders may be requested for another installment however.

Thanks for checking him out steemians!
