looks kickass...im liking the interlace of the colors crossing in and out on some of them...different approach but you make it flow good!...keep it up  

looks good man, whenever i stripe i start off good then i erase it because i think i can do it better. then it just gets worse haha just keep practiceing you'll be pro in no time 

hell ya dude, i'm digin it... keep it up, your headin in the right direction.

thanks guys!

Good stuff. Pinstriping is a lot tougher than it looks. My buddy in Cartersville just started pinstriping too and he's been having a blast! Keep it up.

Looks pretty good. I was going to mention the interlacing too. I like that. If you're not already, practice on a sheet of glass getting your line weights consistent. You can constantly wipe off your striping and keep laying lines over and over. Keep it up.

lookin' good,like sean said practice on glass or atleast flat surfaces,bottles and cans tend to bit a bit harder to maintain line consistancey on. go to pinheadlounge.com and set up a portfolio there,tons of example work to study and alot of nice people to c&c. Alan Johnson has a book titled "How to Pinstripe", best help you can get for the money.if i can ever help ya w/ anything just let me know Matt "FATT" JonesFATTJONES@YAHOO.COM

Lookin good! I agree with practicing on the flat surfaces first, i did a bowling pin when i was starting out and i really wish i would have waited til i got my lines better haha. The one suggestion i would give is to add a little more reducer to your paint and pallete your brush every few lines or so. That will keep the paint from drying through a line and give your lines a nice clean edge to them. Your off to a good start. What size brush are you starting with
