This has nothing to do with your work but you spelled Portrait wrong.

Why fuzzy? If your paint is reduce down enough you should be able turn you pressure down and get a nice sharp line. How close are you working to your surface? Do you spray with the air cap on? What type of paint are you using and on what surface. If you give up the info we'll be able to lend a hand.;)

I wanted fuzzy with in reason because that is how the photo is, I cant even do the dager strokes with out them runing, im using hok (sg-100,ru113 50/50 and kk purple) I wanted to do it in a color that is more forgiving, that is why I used purple, I cant take my cap off on this ab(it a bager), but on me my iwatta I can I think the bqager is finer thoe (my iwatta is a .5) how low do u turn your preshure down, I was at like 30 psi(I know its bad habit but a lot of the time when I do other stuff I spray like 50 psi, so this is low to me) Idk how close no more than an inch. It is on a wall in my bed room

If your using Uros you should be able to thin it out really well and build in layers. I usually thin 100-200% and build it, this is with acrylic so the uros should lay out nicer. Turn your pressure down to 10psi and just increase a little at a time till you get a nice spray, I usually work at around 12-18 psi on portraits. Last big mural I did was on a wood panel and house paint base and I worked it with 200% thinned shading grey from Golden and average of 18psi and it worked really well. Oh and for those tight lines you need to be pretty close, I actually sometimes get too close. :ohmygod:
