I wanted to put manga panels in the background. I used an editing software to decrease the opacity, so that the painting would stand out more. I chose a very iconic scene, which was recognized!
Wow! I haven’t really appreciated the difficulty of painting on glass until I saw the view from the backside! That clearly took a lot of forethought to get it just right. The use of the comic in the background is a great touch.
It definitely takes planning so the right colors are showing through. The manga in the background was not my idea, I saw similar ideas on Tik Tok. (I did choose the specific panels though)
The paint likes to streak on the glass so that tricky. It’s also definitely tricky to figure out what color goes on top of another color. I’ve seen amazing glass paintings of anime characters, but I wanna but too daunted to try a character on my first try. Lol.
