Good job. If it helps break up the outline and uses colors that are in your environment you can't go wrong.... it does not have to the be most perfect job to DO the job.

A hopper is a very easy to ID shape - we're all looking for them on the field - so getting some hard edges into the paint job may help disguise that shape.
I hear what you're saying.

I'm still struggling over the "look" that I want to achieve with my next design. I practiced a few more variations on some paper and have been juggling around some new ideas with some of the techniques I'm learning.

I thought it was going to be just a quick job of spraying some paint onto an old hopper, but I've found out that I'm actually having some a lot of fun.

HAHAHAA! Evrybody send me your old hoppers so I have more of them to practice on LOL!
