Absolutely awesome dude! Been using those techniques for years...just never knew how to visualize it for the general public. You can type your fanny off, but somebody out there wouldn't get it....can't miss with your tutorial. Great job!

Kudos to Flyboy for the post. THat is indeed helpful. I have a cheap airbrush from Harbor Freight and am learning airbrushing, so that's a big help.

Great post Flyboy 8) 8)
The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent.
