shawn,

considering you are fresh to ab your are off to a great start.

However if you want to use stencils that is a great tool, but to master them is to make it appear as if no stencils were used. Look at some videos, all of craig fraser vids are based off of his stencil kits but you can learn what i mean. Or look at some Mike Learn videos and see how he takes a stencil and makes it look original.

The flames... assuming they are flames are way over stenciled it has a cool design on its own but they are not flames in the traditional or realistic mind set. Look at others flame jobs, JBF is a good example here on this site.

I really like your shark head, especially for being new. my only critique on this for you, is again the stenciling... you can tell the mouth was masked out by the hard lines left behind, but over all I say you are well on your way to this creative outlet, keep up the good work.

Most people (like me) start out with learning control of the airbrush by doing dots and daggers, yes it is boring but if you remember karate kid wax on, wax off.... seems meaningless and boring while doing the exercises, but in the long run it teaches you the fundalmentals and control of your brush making you a better ABer down the road. There are some that can pick it up and start doing but not most. it is up to you if you want to put the time in the begining or do it later.

KEEP UP WITH THE GOOD WORK THOUGH...
