Just getting into spray paint and stencils, would love to hear some feedback on what I'm doing well and what I'm doing poorly.

Not bad for a starter! Some quick things I noticed: Try to avoid "hard corners" when cutting humans. Normally humans don't have them. Not sure if you say it like this in English but I hope you understand what I mean  it has to flow... There is nothing wrong with a little bit of overspray inside a human. Some spots are too clean I think. Really like the faded shadows on the dress in the pink and yellow version of the child! Check the look of such important things like face, arms and hands before cutting the stencils. The child's hands are looking kind of strange for example... If you only spray the hand, nobody would get that it is one All in all it is a lot of practicing and experimenting necessary to get it done perfectly, but I think you are on a good way and as long as you have fun doing it I would keep it going! |

I think riq has some great points Something I'd suggest might help is an extra shade of grey between your current light grey and white (so then you have dark, mid and light grey) I think the jump from the lighter grey to white is a bit much I prefer the multi coloured girl to the lady in the dress. The lady in the dress seems a little too bright for me Good stuff for first attempts  |

Thanks again for the feedback. For this latest one I was more aware of sharp edges, and made the transitions through the greys more gradual. I think the fingers also actually look like fingers this time . Would love to hear more feedback if you have the time to give it.  |

You need to work a bit more on the image himself, have more contrast and consider having more black outline in the face and body.
If you initial image is digital; check for tutorial on Youtube or online on how to do outline in Photoshop.
Also, you are following the standard approach, that is to have one layer per colour. Consider a more "free" approach, have a look at C215 or Pasquini work, try to spray your gray on the canvas first in different area; then spray you dark grey and black outline. The black will bring shape to the stencil and colors.
Cheers
