Stay thirsty my friends.

Another side of my cooler is complete! This side took SO much effort but I love how it turned out.

It's not perfect but it makes me happy! I haven't sealed it so it's not as shiny as it soon will be.

Once again, no tutorial. Honestly, I just free hand everything. I look at the image then draw and if necessary, erase and re-draw. 

I use chalk to draw on the cooler but I hear graphite works better. The chalk is fairly thick so for skinnier words (like "cerveza" above) I had to strictly freehand it. 

Cooler painting is serious business and I hope to get better at it. For now, I'll work on at least doing progress pictures while I'm working! It's tough because, as mentioned, I freehand and sketch things. I really haven't been big on tracing anything. It'd probably make it look a lot nicer but oh well. 

The cooler will be done by this weekend! (I have a deadline to meet) So you'll see the finish product soon (: I'm so excited!
