autoart - Design logic in pinstriping

Lease this WebApp and get rid of the ads.

In the attempt to refine my own pinstriping, I would like to hear from others on placement of color. I am forever studying others work and beside having my own personal likes and dislikes, there has to be a logic to this art. So when you " lay down the lines " it's not just a matter of I think this come off good but, rather, this will work because. It's difficult to even convey my abstract thoughts. Any and all help would be appreciated. Thank you!

  Thank you your your help. I have been doing this and I can " copy" . That's good for a start but, that leaves the " why " unanswered. Thanks for your help though. I appreciate it immensely. Corky
