全职爸爸在女儿的房间画壁画

I’m A Stay-At-Home Dad And I Wanted To Make My Daughters’ Room Special, So I Painted Murals In Their Room

我是一个全职爸爸，我想让我女儿的房间变得特别，所以我在她们的房间里画了壁画

I’m a stay at home dad of 2 beautiful little girls (almost 3 and 6). We moved closer to my in-laws about a year ago, while we love the house it was built in the early ’80s. The vast majority of the walls have that hard “sand” texture on them so going the vinyl cling route wasn’t an option. I used to be fairly artistic years ago, but I’ve not really painted anything outside of changing wall colors for probably 20+ years since high school (especially nothing close to this scale). I’ve always wanted to and thought about painting a mural for my kids someday.

我有两个漂亮的小女孩(分别是3岁和6岁)，我是家里的一名全职爸爸。大约一年前，我们搬到离我岳父母更近的地方，我们很喜欢这栋建于80年代初的房子。绝大多数墙壁都有坚硬的“沙子”纹理，所以选择乙烯基保鲜膜是不可能的。几年前我是一个很有艺术天赋的人，但是从高中开始，我大概有20多年没有画过除了改变墙壁颜色以外的任何东西(尤其是没有任何接近这个比例的东西)。我一直想有一天给我的孩子们画一幅壁画。

Anywho… this is what I came up with. I used a cheap LED projector that I found on Amazon (which also works great for movie nights now), I penciled on the general shapes/proportions, then made at least a couple passes on each with acrylics trying to get as much detail in as I could. I spent probably 3-4 hours a day 5+ days a week for the better part of the summer. The girls have a lot of different favorites so I couldn’t fit them all in, but overall they love it. We still need to change out the windows and replace the trim before we move them into the new room.

这是我想到的。我用了我在亚马逊上找到的一个便宜的LED投影机(现在它在电影之夜也很好用)，我用铅笔画出了大概的形状/比例，然后用丙烯酸树脂做了至少两张幻灯片，试图尽可能多地获得细节。在夏天的大部分时间里，我可能每天花3-4个小时，每周5天以上。女孩们有很多不同的最爱，所以我不能把她们都放进去，但总的来说，她们很喜欢。在我们搬进新房间之前，我们还需要把窗户换掉，把装饰换掉。

(I do know Moana comes off a little dark, I spent many hours trying to get the skin tone right, and it’s about as good as I could do at the time, the reference image was a little darker too, so that could be part of it.)

(我知道莫阿娜的肤色有点暗，我花了好几个小时试着让她的肤色变好，这是我当时能做到的最好的效果，参考图像也有点暗，所以这可能是其中的一部分。)

I hope you all enjoy it as much as we do!

我希望你们和我们一样喜欢它!
