Help ...Please

[DMarie]

Hey all. These were my first attempt at airbrushing so please, be kind! My son & his friends are graduating today and they asked me last night to do these. It was all done freehand and I'm wondering how I can learn to make the letters and edges sharper. They all seem blurry. Thanks in advance!

Actually DMarie, you've done a very nice job..mortarboards are very hard to paint & this is about the best you can hope for..I have 2 schools that frequent me at graduation time, & even though it seems so important to the kids, I just about cringe when this time of year rolls around..You've made these far better than they usually turn out & I know what a struggle it was..Now you need to continue painting, but on another subtrate..your freehand work shows great promise, but your lettering skills need to be honed..You've done well for the boys!!

looking great first attempt ? looks like you got more practice than me
i pretty shure they will enjoy them as for sharp edges 2 ways,2words : frisket & shield/stencil they are the only two ways i have seen to sharpen edges
(even made a stenci from acetate & it looks kool )


so keep working keep praticing your way farther than i am...

Hi guys, thanks for the kind words! I LOVE airbrushing and really am hoping to get into helmuts and tanks. But I think this weekend I will bring home my blowdryer from work and see what I can do! This is a great forum and I will for sure be here for a long time. Thanks again everyone!
