One of my first attempts at airbrushing

Hey guys,
I just started airbrushing lures. Right now I am just practicing on KO blanks, but am hoping to find some blanks of named brand Walleye Jerkbaits (Bandits, HJ14s, Rogue p10s, Bomber Jointed Long A, etc) to start painting and using for Erie Eyes once I get good enough. I've only done a couple lures, I think this one came out ok. I was trying to imitate the Gizzard Shad I see in the Fall when I'm fishing for Walleye. It still needs clear coated and because a lot of it was painted with Createx Pearls, I think the clear coat will really make it pop! I still need to learn how to transition/blend as I am switching from one color to another. I also need to work on shading. And I need to find some better stencils that will stick to my lures better. I hate when I am trying to using a stencil, spray it, blast it real quick with the blow dryer - only to see that the color bled under my stencil because it wasn't tight enough to the lure! Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions that may help enhance my skills, it'd be much appreciated!
