Jeff Miracola (a Magic: the Gathering artist) does fantastic mixed-media work in pretty much this manner, also utilizing a lot of washes. I haven't seen a video from him in awhile but he's definitely worth watching for his technique (and results!). ETA: Greg "Craola" Simkins is also a brilliant mixed media artist working mainly in acrylics. The tones and shading he's able to achieve are astonishing.

Really AMAZING WORK! MIXED MEDIA ART AT IT'S FINEST.

Heh.. This is the second time I watch the whole 2.5hrs of this. So interesting and fun to watch

This resurrected the kid in me. 🫶🏼✊🏽

This is so cool! I’ve not seen all these techniques used together like this yet. I’ve taken so many notes. You guys are the best!

Love these videos making me paint again!

Dave, your ability to figure out the shading as you Ink, is mind-blowing to me! You seem to know how to create heavy shading yet show how the face is still Backlit, is so great!

That was AMAZINGLY informative. Thank you !

I like the Indiana Jones font on the thumbnail! Awesome stream as always guys!

Amazing work!! Lighting came out great! Thanks for showing the process!

Didn't get to catch this one live, appreciate you doing these and getting to see you draw

Passion and love, and seing yourself progress step by step, that's what make the boring stuff enjoyable and bearable ^^

Good afternoon from Spain, thank you very much David for these free classes you offer

Awesome work as usual :) your streams and videos were huge inspiration for me to start drawing and painting again after years, especially your coop streams with Ariel Olivetti, Ryan Benjamin, Erick and co. :) Thank you for providing us with such superb content :)

Amazing work you guys absolutely love these mixed media videos can't wait for the next one!

Wow, great vid you guys, and after all this time to see you put out such a banger together is awesome. I really got a lot out of this one, thank you gents!

Thanks David. Your channel is really motivating me to get into a regular habit of drawing again. I drew endlessly as a kid but apart from doodles fairly dropped off. In my mid twenties I picked ot up again to help with depression. Mostly drawing friends in comic book like situations for their birthdays and such but it ended up with me writing and drawing a single issue of a comic. Took me years to actually finish and it still isn't technically because I never printed it despite finishing all the lettering. I did it arse ways but I learned so much and improved my drawing a little at the time. So much that I had to redo some of the earlier drawings because the quality difference was jarring. I've let it fall away again but I am slowly making steps to improve what I cab do and learn form, depth and anatomy. Thankfully I have an army of Marvel Legends so I have plenty of reference tools and I visited New York twice in the last 2 years and am trying to get more real life reference photos. I'm currently trying to do a scene with Mles chasing Scorpion in a subway station. The figures are great but I'm trying to apply framework under the reference to give it more life. Honestly your videos are a god send. How you deliver them just makes me want to get practicing

That looks KILLER! Thank you so much for sharing this info for free! Ive been looking for art lessons to expand my knowledge and skill base but the prices people charge today are insane. The fact youre giving all these lessons for free is amazing. Very very appreciative of it David. I never wpuldve thought to put pencil ontop of paint! Its adds so much depth to it ita incredible!

Awesome. Love this stuff. Thank you, guys.

Thanks so much for sharing this! Great work!

Great technique you guys. It seems so obvious to lay down a coat of medium over the paint and pencils to get a new working surface but it never occurred to me. Thank you! I can't wait to try it!

THAT WAS THE TEST?! equal parts inspiring and depressing how talented you guys are. 😅😊

I use a CO2 medium size tank with a regulator and water trap . Quiet airbrushing and the tank lasts a long time. Welding supply companies have these tanks to rent or purchase. 🙏👍🇺🇸

1:34:36 even at such high level already you keep leveling up. youre an inspiration sir!

This is so awesome! I’ve used liquin by Windsor and newton with a brush to blend color pencils. 🙏🏽 Thank you so much! Always learn so much from your videos!

I've been watching your videos for a long time now. I live in the UK so I'm never able to be here during the live broadcasts due to the time difference. But I just wanted to say this is absolutely incredible work. I can not wait to try this technique out myself. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

Insane realistic art. Amazing how many different pens and brushes and markers you used. Thanks for sharing. 😮😮😮

Amazing! This goes completely against the AI. Art is alive!

Great work as always! I learned so much from your videos in these past few months. Thank you!

Love this truly amazing

Absolutely amazing work as always Dave!

Gaht dangit i missed the stream! Anyway nice job Dave and Erick

Wow, this is incredible. Awesome work, guys!

45:53 that’s how I felt about Giffen! I wish more artists would get experimental. You have really adapted yourself into quite I nice position so I can’t blame you but when an artist actually releases work in a different style it’s refreshing. Imagine if Sienkiewicz decided to stop developing his style after he lost all his older patrons when he first switched it up. What a loss that would have been.

And he did all this amazing work in just 2.5 hours 😍🤯

That was amazing to watch!! I’ll have to try this one day :)

Several years ago I did some airbrush on cars and motorcycles and I discovered if I mix the color 50/50 with clear I could freehand relatively sharp edges and lines because the majority of the paint strokes would accumulate where you want it and the overspray was practically invisible.

Fantastic work guys!!

Che meraviglia!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤩🤩🤩

This is really cool! Great work!

Thanks for your video, master. Greetings from Chile!

This came out sick.

Another amazing demo

Have learned a lot, nice !

AMAZING...

Masterful ❤

🔥💙🔥

can't imagine doing an entire comic or graphic novel this way.

Thanks a lot ! 🙏

I didn’t like the light blue pencil touch but is fire. I’m going to fallow ya

AMAZING!!!

Green goblin is one of the coolest looking villains

Love it

Hope all is well and see some more Monday night draw if you get these notifications love the show

Incredible

that's a sick Green Goblin

Amazing.......😮😮😮😮

Howly Cow AWESOME

Thanks!!!

Thank you...

💪💪💪💪💪

Do you use ammonia Free windex in your airbrush. If not, I recommend it.

Amazing.

hes a demon fr

It was really a great live David, too bad I saw it on time delay. One question: what measures does the card have? Thanks

Hi Dave and Erick! I didn't catch this one live either but the picture came out incredible! I'm a little confused about the purpose of the medium does it just stop the ink and color pencil from smearing?

I would love to try the Pentel brush pen out but cannot find it, can you or any one else post a link for it please. Enjoyed the stream and am now just getting a chance to watch it again.

This turned out amazing! I would love to know how you handle it when mistakes are made or the physical art gets damaged. In the digital world, you simply hit undo. With physical art, do you ever find that you have to start over completely? Or do you take time to scan the art work between each stage so you don't have to worry about it?

You should consider cutting a more jagged stencil for your sharp shading style it’d fit much better in your cracks and crevices!

Could you use spray fix or mattcoat spray can stuff to seal and retexture the surface?

What a fantastic video! Does anyone know what PSI they are using? David mentioned it was low so there are no particles in the air.

Wow. Looking at the finished piece, I imagine what it would be like trying to get this much detail on a Tattoo!

Awsome

Where are the streams announced ? I’d love to catch some live if I can

I don't think predictable is the word to use here. You certainly surprised me.

Can you use fixative from a spray can? The stuff you use to seal charcoal drawings?

Oh no i miss the live Aarruugghhhhh

does spray fixative work with colored pencil?

Please tell me for what purpose the medium was applied (minute 56 of the video) and what did you dilute it with?)

I love hearing you say Simon "definitely was using airbrush", I exclusively use spray paint and have no issues with controlling it what so ever, especially when youre using it to throw zip type fades or mask areas. Ive spoken to Simon about this in detail, and you David at NYCC last year... Simon gets a real chuckle out of the perception of him using airbrush, he just loves the speed and loseness of a spray can, for me its jsut from my GRAFFITI roots, for example 👉 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f5ZjdNanktfKoWw.html at the :40 second mark. ✌

do you refill your microns ink or just get new ones

Anyone tried with Acrylic Resin Spray? Internet tells me it’s the same thing but in aerosol.

Sorry if I missed it, which color pencils do you use? Prismacolor?

im going to try painting with another artist and have us switch back and forth and see what happens

1:49:23 Good ol Irish 6…by nine lmao

How can we seal it without a airbrush?

Man, whatever happened to david finch?

ah Formula One.....if you don't start first row you dont win...crazy race this week with the rain. Can someone just crash V already so we can get a different winner!

I know about Erick, but who’s Dave?

how come the thumbnail photo is so different?

Hi

Stay away from markers. Try impouto ( Asian artist) style.

I’ve never used an airbrush. It looks like you waste a lot of paint?

great instructive video. I do struggle with you're audio. Its hard at times to hear what David is saying. Just that David mumbles a bit and talk very fast. I have to put all my volume up high and through my amp. My hearing is fine just the audio of the video is crap maybe that's something u both could improve on

Hey @DavidFinch how would you like to make art to the story I’ve made, you can put an image to my novel. By the way your craft Is awesome
