Looks good for a first try!! You'll only get better the more you use it, thats a great start. I'm going to invest in one sooner or later.

Look good to me. I tend to make a lot of templates and stencils as I am more of a sprayer than an artist

I have learned that your paintjob is only as good as your prep work. Sanding the blank smooth, then sealing the blank, then priming the blank with your preferred white primer, then hit the blank with your airbrush. Understanding that less paint applied can at times mean more than alot of paint applied all at 1 time. And lastly the paint will really pop off the lure if you put a nice clear coat on the lure.
