Been playing again, this time on an aluminium composite pannel powder coated black, forgot I had one left, so it is back to stripe and wipe.

It's different on smooth surface isn't it?
Designs look good! just keep plugging on getting those lines consistent thicknesses.
What size are the squares? 1" (or whatever it transfer into cm)

[AndyW]

about 3/4" 19mm Carlene, got one of those triangular square rules so just use the width of that ha ha makes it easy.

Just had so much fun this past week yip line and balance, I like doing these, ole school is great but just something about this style.

[purplemyth]

Ok, cuz I was going to suggest making a bigger grid. As you get more comfortable with the brush then you can start shrinking them down. My ruler is about 5cm? (I don't do well with metric) 2" wide so that was my grid. I found a tighter grid was a bit tedious on my eyes. I'd actually get lost with all the lines.
But yes, I like scrolling better than daggers, haven't done those much anymore since I feel like I have to think the design out too much~

Carry one................




Are ya done yet? :D

[sharonsstudio]

Jealous!!!!!!!

[Norm]

Wow Andy, very impressive! Looks like you're having some fun with this!

[AndyW]

Cheers folk, Norm this is ace mate, really enjoying it one brush and just stroking away to go but the start has been made, well and truely been bitten by the bug now.

First of the day went down the drain at the very end with two inconsidered stripes as well as the colour lol, was a touch of madness. Anyway..............

Had an epithany towards the end of this one, all of a sudden I knew how to hold the brush properly, gives me lift on the tip easy now and has freed up the scroll, fingers are sore from the new position, haven't a clue why would hold properly before now lol..............

[ScorpionAir66]

WOW Andy! Your practice has definately paid off!!! Great!

[AndyW]

Many thanks Tracy, you pullin some lines yet........

[purplemyth]

There's a time to work the tip then a time to push it flat, you're getting there :)

[AndyW]

Wooohoooo...........boat has sailed so got a few extra days at home to play....so....

As I'm sure you've noticed,,, Practice is paying off Andy,,,
you're making some Great Strides in your linework,,,
Lookin Good,,, Lookin Good !!!

[AndyW]

Yip practice rules Whit, hand is a bit sore lol.........................question though, trawling around the 1-Shot site, what is Subliminal Stealth Pinstriping? lol can't find anything anywhere, think it is to do with pulling stripes with a 1-Shot Candy mix.

Oh an decided I need a No3 Kafka, as the No1 is a bit small lol.

[purplemyth]

I would assume it means something along the lines of phantom stripes, kinda like ghost flames?
I just read their pdf, that's the impression I get~

And yes, the #1 is small, look at my comparison pic. And I think in most of Kafka's youtubes, he is using a #3.
