Hi All, following on from fiddlemans great idea for dagger stroke practice, here is what I use for practicing 'cut and blends'.
View attachment Airbrush Target Practice.pdf
There are unlimited ways to use this sheet but my main use is to practice cutting in on edges with a blend away from same edge.
I start on the outside ring at one segment and blend inwards towards centre, miss a segment and so on all around. Once I get back to the start I then fill in the empty segments then onto the next ring in gradually until I get to the centre.
I then repeat this but cut and blend away from the rings so I'm cutting the outside of the curve.
The benifits here are that you are always cutting and blending in differnet directions as you goaround the circle.
This is quite difficult to do and get nice clean blends that start and stop at the segment lines. It takes about 10-15 minutes to complete a sheet so 3 or 4 a day will have you improving in no time
When I get time I'll post up some examples.
Another way to use it is to parctice dots at the centre of each segment line or the intersections, curved lines that start and stop at segment lines, wherever you choose, it's all good target practice
