What exactly is Belly Guns™?

Belly Guns is a lot of things. But first and foremost, it is an artists’ tool developed by Mike Learn. Born out of the need to help his students paint the human form, Mike took the vinyl system he had been using for years to create stunning graphics to the next level. Belly Guns is in it’s simplest form, a masking system for painting pin-up style art.

With this system in place, you no longer have to spend hours on line or looking through magazines for reference photos,. You no longer have to work from a low res web image, or worry about copyright infringements. You no longer have to spend hours tracing and cutting transfer tape or frisket, only to be frustrated by resulting cut marks or mis-cuts. The Belly Guns system solves all these problems and has even more to offer.

An ever-growing pose gallery offers endless possibilities for composition, and the stenciling has been done for you, saving you even more tedious work. The Belly Guns masking system works because it provides perfect placement and proportion of human features.

Here’s how to get started:
