You have a really nice design going on, and show great control with an airbrush! You also demonstrate great values of your colors. The only thing that I would suggest so far, is watch your color shifting when shooting white. You may get better results using an eraser to bring more of the surface bristol board white, than using white due to the blue gray shift from floculation. You can also use an exacto knife to scratch highlights into the viens of the wings as well! Try looking into something like these http://www.airbrushtech.info/AIRBRUSH/reviews/showcat.php?cat=42

Some of your local art stores will carry them. Keep us posted on your progress since this is already turning out great!

You'd be real surprised how much one of those lil Guys helps....I never thought much of it..Then I got 2 of those...(only like $4 for the pair)..Really made a diff in the overall Piece...I won't paint without em now..(if I can help it anyway):D
