Description A stencil of the UK & US Apache Helicopters.
Positives:
Usually I work with 1 layer and occasionally 2 layers, but this time I went from my record of 2 layers to 4 layers.
The image does look like the original; [link]
Negatives:
I found the ivory colour was not what I expected, the yellow was a little too bright and the camera didn't take the photo too well so I had to brighten it up with photoshop after.
As often occurs with stencils despite countless efforts of masking tape, the paint managed to escape the borders and spread beyond the object onto the canvas.

I'm not certain
I've been making this into a stencil... slowly [link]
I'm not really a drawer so I've been using photoshop to turn images into stencils; I'm trying to avoid cliches
