Default My first attempt at painting.

Well, I decided to try my hand at painting up a team. I have created a new expansion team for my league called the BOSTON SHAMROCKS.

I started with a basic uniform and this is the result. I need to aquire a steadier hand and do some touch ups

Open to any tips or suggestions.

you can 'clean up' the stripes by painting white down each side.

The Logo looks so awesome though! simple and amazing

Great start, and yes, a border stripe on each side of the broad stripe would give it a real crisp look. It's good work on the logo.

Biggest thing is practice, practice, practice. I've been painting 11 years and I still feel like there's a long way to go for my work.

I still have the first 4 teams I ever did. I'll have to look them up and post photos.
