    Some recent paints, opinions please

    Here are a few paints I did over the past couple of days. Looking for opinions on ways to improve on these.

    A TD Pencil in shad:

    Another Janns Crank in a shiner type color (didn't really intend to paint this one, it just kind of happened):

    An old Risto Rap in a shad pattern with glitter for my daughter:

    A couple of Normans and an Olold school Fat Rap in Red Craw:

    And finally a Rapala DT-10 in green craw:

    Please give me any opinions on how to improve on these, especially the bluegill and craw patterns. Thanks guys!

    Looks like you're coming along quickly. The shade patterns are pretty good. My only suggestion for gills is to just keep pluggin away. When I 1st started these were the toughest but also the most fun.

    Moose the only thing that I see that you might want to do is back off your air pressure just a little and apply lighter coats. I noticed this on your vertical bars on top bait in this pic. Other than that.....you are progessing nicely
