well, its different. I gotta ask myself sometimes why people want certain things on them FOREVER…. :D
As far as the work…line weight, try to get even and consistant line weight throughout, looks like you may have pulled up a few places and got some weak lines. Hell, maybe thats what you was going for in the first place..
Shading…the shading…[Read more]

Dont let it beat you…be strong, whats that saying? When one door closes another one opens?? ;)

Thanks… ;)

No need to appologize…I just want to make sure we are reacing out to everyone as some folks dont bother to check this section out too much. We have a good topic going and just want to make sure everyone see’s it!!!! :mrgreen:

I actually found a couple YOUTUBE vids that did what i was looking for with the color. Im usually afraid of starting off WAY too dark, then Im screwed.
I dont know if i would actually dilute the colors or not, i havent tried it but it might be interesting sometime. trial and error i guess……… :o
I kinda figured that going over a light gray…[Read more]

coi fish are popular these days…looks good, keep it up!!!

I also agreee with Mark, your off to a good start just slow your roll a little bit.

Looks like a dragon’s head!!!! Looks fine… ;)

I recently read, or watched a video that said those rounds traumatize the skin more so than a mag. Personally I like a flat mag for this type of work judging by the size I would have used a like a 9 flat mag to pack in the colr. Not sure if that is the correct way, but that is most likely what i would have done non the less…….. 8-)

no problem :D

Oh come on….lets see some of the practice work, it helps when folks tell you where you need to improve and what your doing right or wrong!!!! :D

Thank you! 8-)

good question…personally I would recommed Intenze, they have some colors that i think might work for you.!

It doesnt look bad…I think you could easily fix it up with a line on the outside of them, add some shadows and good to go!!

thanks!!

Yeah..back again. Hit the gym pretty often, not much else to do! ;)

I like it!

your getting there man…got a little bit of wobble on the scales but your getting there! Looks good. 8-)

If you mixed it with white it would make GRAY!! Is that what your looking for????
