beginner art

[Cryptix]

OK well I feel I am back in Kindergarten But I feel I need to let everyone know I AM practicing, I actually took time to try something other than daggers and dots. I chose lightning cause I watched one of mike's videos on here, and figured what the hell, may as well. So I will post some pics.

This is done on news print, with comart paint. using my Iwata HPC.

Not bad Crypt!

You've got some good lines going. Your lightning looks a little like roots. Get a reference picture and look at what's happening: you usually have a main branch thats larger going straight to the ground. The, a couple branch starting from the main one side to side but they quickly seem to get pulled to the ground. The don't continue going side to side.

I'll add a couple reference pics to help you.
But your lines look great! Just heading in the wrong direction. You got potential! Continu to practice :)

im no pro but id suggest turning your PSI down and just keep working on your lines... practice practice practice!!! cheers

from what i can see, it looks like you are just laying on the paint hard. work on using more air and less paint, takes awhile to get this down but allows for finer lines and greater control. great practice!
