First pinstripe Job.. whadya think? RED ADDED!

Ok... after playing with a sharpy and some vellum for the last couple of months, My little bro asked me to stripe his guitar, I was reluctant to do it, cause I was really unsure. But take a look and give me some criticism, good or bad.

Thanks fellas!

Update... Did the red some some suggested. I'm really diggin this, although it didn't come out like I wanted it to. I think it's because of the assymetrical layout. Take a look!

 

I know nothing about how to stripe, but I would say I couldent do that my 50th time around let alone my 1st. Keep practicing and you can come and stripe my car!

 

Well, for being a first-timer, it looks pretty good. That style works well with the guitar. Keep it up!

 

Looks Good! Now add some light blue. I've been wanting to try it myself.The sharpie idea is a good one.Art supply stores sell the ones with paint in 'em. All you gotta do is try.What do they say,"One you get past the smell, you got it licked". I'm off to look for a Sharpie.

 

Yea me and my bro were getting kinda high!!

Thanks fellas!!

 

I think it looks sick, You should be proud of it

 

Bloody good for a 1st timer!

 

NICE JOB. Im still in the straight line stages of my pinstriping. Not ready to pinstripe anything other than my art tablet.

 

yep

 

Looks great! I know I couldn't have done that my first time around.

 

Dang I might have to keep doing this thing!!!

 

GOT MY VOTE ......... looks great !

 

SWEET...I have just started as well...and for your 1st time I'd say it is damn good.....keep it up.

 

I'm with the others. Looks great!

It's not as easy as it looks, huh? I got into it a couple years ago and then got crazy-busy. I haven't picked up a brush since.

This might be a well-known tip, but I practiced on a spare storm-window pane. I was easy to clean up if I made a mistake and once it was dry, I could use a razor blade and scrape it off and start all over again.

Keep it up!

 

Well I don't play the guitar, but seeing this gives me one more reason to go to the music shop, that thing is cool!

 

I have been wanting to try it out myself. If that was my first try I'd be proud of it... Good Job

 

I'd love to tell you how fucked up it looks, but I'd be lying. I dig it.
Get busy with a second color and post more pictures!

Looks great.

I'm not sure how much I like the large eyelet, but you nailed the striping.

 

Dang!!! I really didn't think it was that great, but I was enjoying it when I was layin the stripes. Thanks to all you guys, this has made me want to go stripe everything I can get my hands on!!!!

THANKS!

looking pretty good bro...i'd suggest heading over to sketchkult.com and getting baptized....you'll find tons of amazingly talented artists willing to guide and assist you. do it...now!!!

 

Thanks RockyJr!

 

Hope you keep it. Many stripers i've talked to wish they would've kept their first job. Now go throw some red on there.
Yea! Told you the red on there would look bitchin!!!

 

Looks Preety Good. Its Not As Easy As It Seems

 

Keep at it,you'll keep improving and keep the virgin job for reference later! good luck.....

 

Haha... my brother loves that thing so much... I don't think he will ever get rid of it, and if he does it's going to me and i'm hangin it in my office!!!

thanks for all the positive feedback!!!

 

here's where I'm having my problem. Connecting the ends and makin' em look good?? What am I doing wrong?

 

Just keep practicing. Im not the best but you will keep getting a better feel for it and knowing how to connect. Sometimes it just takes a little touching up on the tips after you pull the line. Looks great for your first. wish mine woulda looked that good. Im still scared to stripe my guitar but youve givin me inspiration.

 

Looks good man, go crazy!

 

Little update on the red!!

 

The red adds to it! Looks good. Keep it up. You got some talent there.
