WOW, WOW, WOW, that is like a whole college course on one page...thanks Marissa now my head hurts Seriously though, awesome info even if it will only take me 6 years to learn it. :dread: hehehe
I,m afraid I need a little more clarification on this subject. I get the idea that opaques are better from the point of view of coverage and hiding mistakes but at the cost of a vibrant final piece. I also get the point of using transparents to build depth layer by layer, adding effects as you go, but here's where I get confused, If I were starting a portrait, Should I start with an opaque flesh then add trans to brighten, or use trans to start with?. There may be no right or wrong answer to this, maybe it,s personal preference but it's probably the one thing in airbrushing that confuses me most, what to use, when and for what reason. I have 2 portraits in my album on here, one is opaque only, the other is transparent only(except the hair) and the trans one certainly looks better to me, but using a combo of both, that's my concern, then of course there's semi opaques but that,ll just fry my noodle! Help!
Hi all, I,ve been away from airbrushing a while now as my interest ebbed away when I didn't think I was making any progress, but I,m gonna pick up the airbrush for the first time in months and have another crack, for two reasons really, I,ve been asked to make a copy of my black and white leopard portrait ( one of the airbrush tutors) I did over a year ago by a family member as a gift to his girlfriend, and secondly I've spent a stupid amount of cash to build up my stuff that I can't bare to see it go to waste!
Anyway instead of copying the picture I've decided to brush one from scratch to re teach myself and get some sorely needed practice. I remember the first time I did it, adding the white textures over the black caused it to blue shift, I know putting white over black does this as white is in effect a very light shade of blue, but how does the airbrush tutor do it successfully in his YouTube vid?, it's clean and crisp with no sign of blue shift...
I missed this first time round, glad it was resurrected
