Default A little more learning on future paint job

Starting to learn a little more on this airbrush thingy. This is my first attempt to incorporate a skull into the flames. I am still months away (winter project) note: have to do this over yellow pearl so the flame may not have exactly a true fire effect

Critique welcomed from artist and non-artists
One day I shall get it LOL!!!

thanks
Jim

Looks to me like ya got a good handle on it! Be very prepared here though, there are some Crude MF'rs on this site, who will diss ya pretty hard from time to time.

I only got my first airbrush gun bout a month ago. I have no talent for just doing things like this off the top of my head. I cut out a stencil for the skull and then just some crude fire over it.
It will be MONTHS before I even think about trying this on my perty pearl yeller bike

Looks petty damned good to me for a first attempt.......though I think It would look better on a black back ground.

I think you're being too humble.....I think that rocks.

Unless it looks a lot different in real life than the pic then I think it looks awesome!
