    I've been practicing a little. I found this old helmet in the garage and got on it. What do you think? Fire away!

    Thanks for the feedback fellas!

    Thanks, I try to put in about an hour a day. Notice I said try, I have 3 cars, 1 bike, 1 3yr. old and a wife. lol! Busy, busy, busy...

    And maybe I'll learn how to spell and title my thread "pinstripe" not "pinstipe" next time.

    That's pretty damn cool. I like the really thick and really thin deal. Maybe close up the bottom set the same way you did the top?

    Cool. I like the simplicity. There is a uniqueness to the fat lines.

    That's not practice, that's art!:cool:

    Practice is a bunch of lines, or curves, or smudges in my case:D

    I love it. That's one of the skills that I would really like to learn. I can't write my name the same way twice, so I don't know if there is any hope for me though.

    looks good but dont go after the really difficult designs untill you got your lines down perfect or it will be really discouraging. keep up the good work and practicing. check out sketchkult.com youll like it if your not already on.

    Looks a sight better than most practice I've seen and better than some people's "work." Can I get in line to have you "practice" on my car?

    Great work. Study all the style's you can. It's already there (talent) kkep searching for your own 'feel' and flow.
