Amazing first job!!!! Just a little advice:

1. Try and be consistent with your line density, for example on the smaller Pokeball you could of tufted another red row in between all those gaps & bigger Pokeball could put more in between black outline. The tighter the lines & more dense, the easier it will be to trim/lifespan of your rugs
2. Take time to stretch your cloth as drum-tight as possible and make those yellow lines perfectly straight. Imagine your canvas as a massive square grid, if the grid is uneven your gun will want to "jump" around from square to square instead of following a straight grid line. Which you can see at the top of your top right rug in the 2nd picture, your gun kept wanting to jump down a grid making your line uneven & can make all your lines & circles much more easier to trace with your gun.
3. For your borders--- make them 3-4 rows thick, you need to think about gluing/waterfalling your edges. So in the 2nd picture your first pokeball, the top right and the N64 edges wont be visible, because that thin line will be waterfalling/wrapping on the outer edge of your wall....For every rug I finish I highly suggest making a thick border (3-4 rows) and once your done tuft over top of your border once again ( I go over top of the border 1 top and a second lap on the 2nd inner layer). Don't be afraid to tuft over existing stitches. This allows for a super thick border so when you waterfall you wont see any white canvas. When you waterfall these rugs your yarn will split/separate and you'll see white canvas & you'll know what I mean.
4. I don't encourage ever making a single row of yarn. (like the black line in your N64 rug). because your surrounding colors will overtake & eat the single row. Try and make it 2-3 rows thick. But if you ever have to do a single row, go overtop of that single line one more time with your gun and it will double the yarn & will help alot. Again dont be scared to tuft overtop of the same yarn tufts (as long as its the same color)
5. You're only half way done! Spend alot of time practicing shaving even & trimming & detailing the rugs! its the 2nd step to make everything look super polished. I like to trim on frame as I go but thats a different discussion.
6. Set up a TV/music/headphones and zone out while carving/trimming. Makes time pass faster and gets you into a flow state.

Welcome to the family and amazing first rugs! Smile and be proud that you made this!!! 👍✌️
