VMAXX Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 I've been working on a fire tiger pattern, do most people use a stencil or freehand them ? I've tried freehanding dropping down to the #1 needle(paasche brush) and I can't tell a difference in my line width,my #3 shoot's practically the same....any ideas thank's Vmaxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 Stencils are the only way to go on stuff like stripes and dots! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 I stencil everything. Speeds up the process and has good results with respect to airbrushing "fade out" details like perch stripes or the sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe32 Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 Hi,I have to agree with the majority here that stencils make the whole process of painting stripes a lot easier and you also get the same pattern everytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenfeather Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 I have been using Sharpies( felt tip permanent pens) for stripes and such. I'm sure a stencil would be the way to go for making alot of the same but I think its fun to freehand 'em when making just one or few for yourself. This only works if your using an epoxy topcoat.
