This is a piece of art that was HEAVILY influenced by The Lion King. Although its not a picture of TLK characters, you might see why I think it is TLK influenced lol. This form of artwork is called a Batik (Pronounced buh-TEEK) which is a stretched cloth canvas that gets colored by dyes. You start with light colors and work darker and darker, once you get a color you like, you put wax on that part of the canvas and then you continue with more colors. This took me about 4 weeks, and i am still not 100% done yet. just because after every layer of dye and wax you have to wait for it to dry which takes a day, and because it is pretty big. It is 28" x 36" (inches) You can easily see where i messed up already (The white splotches by the trees, and pretty much the ENTIRE girraffe.. Which is pretty much why i took the girraffe out of the camera's view) I will take a clearer picture when i bring my camera to school, I was using my teachers cameraphone. lol

Actually its quite easy. It just takes a load of time and make sure you dont get easily frustrated, because things can get a bit frustrating sometimes lol... LIKE THAT DARN GIRRAFFE!
