Beginner Question: airbrush makes dots

Noticing dotting at the END of lines after today's practice.
They are present on previous practice pages, but didn't notice as other issues grabbed my attention.
Any suggestions why & what helps reduce or eliminate these bad boys?

On the positive, noticing slight improvement here & there.

Thanks for any comments, as always!

Something from a badger pdf on dots. Dotting at the start/finish of a line is referred to as 'the barbell effect' (clever name!)
Here's their take on it:

What JackEb is saying is you did not Paint Off before you stopped moving.
1 Try going 3/4s of the way across as your predetermined stopping point. (Draw a vertical line where you want to stop.)
2 practice Paint Off where you want the line to stop, but keep moving along the line.
3 Air Off and see where the paint line ends cleanly.
As you practice this you will be teaching the muscle memory you need to stop (Paint Off) where you want to cleanly.

You are progressing very well. Won't take you long to catch on.
 
Thank you for the additional instruction, JB - and the encouraging words.
I'll put this into practice today.
