Nice job! Especially for your first time using an airbrush. I tried using an airbrush for a while, but I just didn't care for it. Basically, I wasn't very good with using it. That's why I've stuck to just using colored pencils for all these years.

Eastwood has tons of airbrush stencils to choose from, looks like some are the same brand as his (Freehand Airbrush Templates from ArtTool): http://www.eastwoodco.com/jump.jsp?i...mType=CATEGORY

Damn.. I just searched your threads and I must say.. Ive seen one of the Lavallee cars in person and I think yours are better! Your flames seem to have more depth then his... IMO. Very nice work!

This is the one I saw... Im pretty sure its one of his... took it about 4-5 weeks ago at Kool April Nights in Redding CA. I actually use the original digital pic of this as my PC desktop.

Since it's back up, I have to agree.
Awsome work.
I would say the same if this was the 100th time instead of the first.
