As you stated," you haven`t been painting long."
To step outside the norm and "create" something
through your paint scheme, that actually looks pretty good........is impressive.
Hook size seems to be right on target. Shape and size wise.
Red wrap ,cleanly done.
Color transmission, smooth.
The whole thing looks "fresh."
For my eyes, It`s a keeper!
Anything that catches my eye deserves a comment.
"second lure attempt." Nice,clean looking
lure. Your choices (colors) seem to jell nicely.
Practice will only bring more complexity
to your future offerings.
Looks to me like you`ve got the correct body shape for your paint job.
"Trying to learn how to paint." Just keep cranking them out. As they say, practice makes perfect.
Now that is different!
A comment. The existing eye kind of fades into the body. You used the word "ghost:"
If that was your concept ..fine. No disrespect intended.
One with a little more attraction power would be my preference. A little bolder.
Some colors would still stay with in the "ghost" concept.
Nice concept none the less.
