Great work, did you get lessons or are you self taught?

Way better than what I would ever hope to do artistically but I still think they could be better. Nevertheless, a decent effort.

BEFORE YOU FLAME ME, READ THE THREAD HEADING!!!

[holden_102789]

[pow3rslave]

wow those portraits are rad.
i had a crack at it once, i made a ****ing mess, but i maintain that was the result i was going for, so it all worked out for me.

[System]

3 months??? wow mate, i could do that after 3 years of trying lol

BRILLIANT work- same, u might have to do my car some time lol

[Julie]

um self tought, ive been doing it for three months

Well thats a pretty awesome effort considering. I can see a couple of small areas that need tweaking, but for a beginner you should be rapt in your work. Keep practising, you'll only get better.

I have been thinking about getting into airbrushing myself, I think I get lessons though because whilst I have an art background I have nfi about all the equipment. Is it very expensive to buy all the gear?

Just practice by the look of it mate... It's mostly the proportions of the faces...

[holden_102789]

yea i have an art backgraound to i study industrial design (product design), its about 250 for a basic airbrush and about 120 for a little air unit, the first picture up there was only a practice never got around to finishing it, im airbrushing a girl on a bonnet at the moment when i finish it ill post it up, its looking pretty good not to be to modest

i thort my proportions of the faces were pretty good :S



reference picture below

[Joey_21]

yeh faces are really hard u have 2 watch and make sure evything is in proportion and take a step back and look at it from far away have u done any full colour ones yet there a pain in the ass cos u gotta mix the colours and keep changing it every 2 minutes but it comes out sweet

[holden_102789]

yea im doing a color one now, its some chick on a 200sx bonnet its looking prety sweet

[Joey_21]

but its a decent effort especially 2 learn it by ursself mayb u should take a few lessons just 2 learn the tricks of the trade would def help

[Joey_21]

yea im doing a color one now, its some chick on a 200sx bonnet its looking prety sweet

[holden_102789]
