Watermelon pattern with copper back and brass back

They don't look amature to me. Nice work.

here's a trick to make nice round spots-take a small wooden handled brush,they come in all sizes,fron 1/8 to 1/2 " in diameter and grind the wooden tip flat.dip the flat tip in paint you have placed on a peice of paper (to be consistent) and dot the lure. I use yellow first and then place a black dot in the middle for eyes.. you can use any color combo you want,of course.with a little practice you will be making perfect spots or eyes

Thanks for the tip, I've gotten a little better and use a Q-tip cut in 1/2 the shaft for small and the fuzzy end for lager size.
