Pretty cool.

 

Yea ive been playin with detail airbrushing and couldnt figure out how to turn a picture of something into a stencil, so my wife showed me that, could have saved a lot of wasted time...

 

Good find.

 

wow kinda makes me wanna redo my paint job

 

yea me to, but the little intricate stuff that comes up on alot stuff ive been trying gets dicked up cause my #4 blade is flemsy and keeps bending

 

I got a few ideas for my bike

 

I have tried a lot of exacto knives and stuff during my stint in college for commercial art and 15 years of tattooing. I found that a scalpel(sp) handle to work the best for me. It is narrow in my hand, easy to control,and just works much better for me.

 

Yea, what i tend to do is instead of have the thing flat and cut, i hold it up, and turn and move the peice im cutting while holding the blade still... works wounders for smooth round cutouts

 

I twist the scalpel in my fingers as I move it....trait I learned while tattooing with open tip tubes like with magnums and flat needle groups.

Makes those curves nice and smooth for me that way, like you say....whatever's clever!!

 

See when i do curves with flat tubes/ground i move my whole arm and twist a little bit in my fingers.... i see a lot of artists just move their wrist. But if you move your wrist, and stretch it as far as you can, you lose a steady contact, and have to pause to finish the line.

 

wow deff a good find...ideas for redoing the paint job i supose!!!

 

heres another one
