nice1 kristan. nice pinstripe between the two sections would have set it off a treat.

[The Chef]

[The Chef]

One from tonight. A few masking errors but all in all I pretty chuffed. It is only the 4th shel and about te 5th thing I've ever air brushed.




What do you reckon??

[Jelly]

Crap








Only joking! Your best one yet

[JonyNitro]

That's a good shell,

[eyeayen]

It looks tidy, you've come along way since your first one !

[The Chef]

Thank you. I really enjoy this but I don't know how the pros knock out so many at such a high standard. Pratic I guess. Hats off. I start another one saturday.

[Dudders]

Good work fella

[The Chef]

Tried to ghost some checks on this one but wasn't heavy enough with the paint. Or too heavy with the first coat.

Advice always greatly received.

This was before the one above,

Learning with each shell.

[eyeayen]

As has been mentioned before get some empty 2litre clear plastic bottles. Practice on them, you use hardly any paint anyway and with the bottles being surplus to requirement once the fizzy sugary drink has been consumed it's a good way to practice effects rather than doing them on a shell and it not coming out right.

All the great works of art we see from anyone famous - Leonardo - Picasso - Van gogh - Turner - Monet, any of these, they all had practice pieces we never saw. You shouldn't be any different, it's all practice and you don't need to just discard these ( well, unless it turns out completely dreadful ), so if someone comes around to see your stuff you can say 'I can do this effect I think it would look quite cool' and they can physically see it even if it is on half a bottle... they don't need to see the ones before it that went wrong but you get to practice which is better than practicing on someones shell, especially if they're paying you, however little, you shouldn't do anything on a job for someone unless you have complete faith it will come out well.

Practice Practice Practice!!!

You've done a fantastic job on this one Chef, really liking the chequers and the scheme

[The Chef]

Thank you. I will endevor to get better. But I think it will take some time.

[eyeayen]

None of us were good on our first one, it's all a learnt thing, if you look at everything you've done you can already see a progressive improvement so you're definitely heading in the right direct

[The Chef]

One from tonight. Piccys are poor I'll take some better ones tomorrow. This is for my Friend Jelly.



What do you reckon?

Nice work, I like the fine detail in the shell. I know where I'll be bringing my shell when I need one painting. ( raced with you on Sunday, although never finished due to esc issues :-) )

[eyeayen]

Good shading on the slime

[The Chef]

A simple one for my daughter.
