Painting still life geometric shapes is a great way to practice and improve your airbrush skills. I demonstrate rendering a cube in this video. Mistakes were made and subsequently fixed.

Great video, I appreciate seeing how you made the mistakes and how you fixed them. I am an expert on making mistakes, and seeing how to fix them is helpful.

I appreciate the kind words! I'm pretty sure I fall into the "expert" category when it comes to making mistakes too, lol.

Trevor, another great video! He He I think all of us has tried to rush a task and generally that is a recipe for disaster! So I feel your pain. I appreciate your instructional videos! He He, this one brings to mind me and my son, who's now in his 40's, when he was growing up, I always told him if it's worth doing, it's worth doing right! (he can quote a few of those tidbits even now) Which usually means taking enough time to get that done, and if you rush it, generally you end up doing it again. I appreciate your time constraints between these videos and your making a living! But the time thing is a lesson in itself!

I couldn't agree more! And I should know better than to try and rush through things too. In the end, I would've spent less time painting, editing, and the video would've been about half as long had I slowed myself down and done it correctly to begin with. The ironic thing is, I was already short on time when I started creating this video, lol! So, yes, taking the extra time in order to do it correctly the first time is definitely a good lesson by itself (and I apparently needed to remind myself of that lesson :).

If you don't make mistakes you don't learn, people seem to have forgotten about that!

Absolutely! I should know better than to try and rush things having done this for as long as I have though.

i'm trying to maintain understanding of concepts across demos/lessons: IN THIS DEMO the cast shadow is the same base paint color so that each is painted with just one color (no paint change = simplicity)? BUT (without that simplification) since the background is white the shadow would be a lower color value of white-towards black. (other than any portion tinted by reflected light). Yes? if the background was that base green the shadow would be a lower value of that green. Yes?

Hey Mate, How many times does a repair become a repair and another repair and then you start again? Done it so many times I should learn but we always think we can do an easy,quick repair and it bites you in the ass. Guy

Hey Guy! It's been a very long time since I've had to completely start over on anything. It happened more than I'd like to admit around 20 years ago when I was doing a lot of custom work under tight deadlines. I tried to cut corners or work too fast several times in order to make a deadline back then and it normally bit me too. It's kind of funny looking back because most of the time I already knew what I was going to try was likely not going to work, but I wound up trying it anyway. The result was more hours of work late at night and less sleep to fix my mistake and still make the deadline. At some point I decided it wasn't worth it. I no longer work under tight deadlines and take the time I need in order to do things correctly the first time. Just about any mistake can be fixed with a good plan of attack. About the only thing I can think of right now that would require me to start over is a delamination issue.
