Here's a greeting card I did in acrylics...with no prior "acrylic" experience. It was fine, only I would get "plastic blobs" sometimes, because the paint does dry too fast...I found out, they now have solved this and released a new brand of acrylics that don't dry immediately -- called Chroma Interactive Acrylics, they give you time to work and blend wet-to-wet. That said, I've had no trouble blending with regular acrylics, just think that this media, like any other, takes getting used to. Also, forget about brillancy of oils, they are not as alive as oils, but again, are quite acceptable for illustration.
