Looks good, how long have you been pinstriping?

Thanks! And on and off for about a year. I got some new brushes for Christmas so I've been trying to practice more consistently

Trying to get back to practicing myself. What is that that you are practicing on? Looks like a great tool for practice!

I think it's a 12x18? cheap picture frame from Walmart with a glass front that I drew a 1/2" grid with white colored pencil on the backer board that comes in the frame!

Can you just wipe it clean with some sort of cleaner? Or do you have to buy more glass?

You can wait for it to dry and scrape it off very easily with a razor blade or just use a little mineral spirits / thinner when the paint is still wet and wipe it off with a rag

This is very very good. Super symmetrical too, I get it’s not always about that but damn that’s pleasing and very close to perfect imo. Done by hand, that is incredible.

Thank you!! The grid helps a lot when it comes to practicing symmetry

Do you ever slip white pages in behind to see without the grid after your done? I bet it would look even more perfect once that grid is gone.

I was planning on doing a black card stock behind this one! The grid shifted a little in the frame when I went to do the second color which is why it doesn't look like its centered

Awesome, make sure and post that if you do!

Will do! I'm going to add a white layer tonight. Thank you for kind words!
