I know I'm not ready but I had to spray something.

On a positive side, my homade airbrush station works out pretty good

You're doing very well. Just remember that each journey begins with one small step. You have taken that step and the journey has begun. Believe me, you are gonna LOVE this journey! Keep up the good work and don't get discouraged.

[mayhem]

what brush are you using? is it single or double action? your practice looks better than mine did like agilepaws said it is a wonderful journey....but there is alot of practice involved ....but remember as don says its only paint have fun !!!!

I'm willing to put in my dues. I just purchased a Paasche VL after I bought a $10 cheapie from harbor freight just to see if I might like it. I have 0 previous art experience, I can't even paint a wall brown but I think with enough effort I can do some plausable work on t-shirts and temp tattoos.

I'm absolutely sure you'll be turning out plausable work, but 1st. you have to learn to work the trigger of the airbrush..you must learn to leave your air on while stopping the flow of paint.. That's what a double action airbrush is all about..the trigger is what gives you control. Making dots, one after another, while leaving your AIR ON is what will teach you how to manage the trigger of your airbrush..Push the trigger down to release AIR ON-- gently pull back trigger to release paint--push the trigger forward to stop the flow of paint before you turn the air off..work the trigger back & forth..it's a little like learning to balance a clutch..A lot of practice, but when you get it you can go forward to the next stroke (dagger).. You've made a good attempt at all you've done here, but it's far from being right so I need to encourage you to practice more..

I'm far from done practicing. lol

Listen to darla, put your 60 hours or so of dots, daggers, lines, and shading strokes.

most of the time will be spent on daggers since they are the number one stroke you will be using.

and do them testing different pressures, distances and angles. Oh yes, there are many variables. Then sheilds and so on.
