Welcome to the first part of this complete airbrush painting tutorial. This time we are working on a slightly more advanced portrait of an older man using acrylic paint (createx illustration colors) and an airbrush (Iwata micron). We will focus on painting skin textures and light & shadows, all while using a limited palette. I'll show you how I mix skin tones for all ethnicities and adjust them according to each subject.
There is a lot of information in this video and I go over it pretty quickly. If you are going to try to paint this one along with me, best of luck! It's a bit of a challenge but great practice. The next (and final) part of this lesson will be out next week on this channel. Thanks for watching.

i've been making art for 20 years i've tried countless different mediums and watched many hours of tutorials, this is by far the most well explained i've ever watched , i rarely hear people putting that much emphasis on observation skill wich is ,in my opinion THE most important skill in art, that and taking your time and enjoying the process the rest just comes with time and experimentation. very well done!

@@manicairbrush4395 Thanks for the advice! I'm planning to make the videos longer in the future, instead of multiple parts. We'll see how it turns out. I'm thinking of switching back to an electric eraser. The Dremel is annoying to replace erasers, and they tend to fall out. It's not as good as it looks. Get yourself some sand erasers for the helix. They are the gray ones made by a brand called sun dolphin.

Great tutorial. I think using transparent paint for the skintone is much more intuitive than the method of using opaques in different shades from light to dark. I will definitely try this way.

@theartworkshop 2 жыл бұрын

I agree. I mixed separate values for years and finally stopped. Transparent colors offer more control in my opinion.

Very nice tutorial. I am surprised at how well the Createx Illustration Paint erased off of the gesso. I have been using Claybord for years and avoided gesso because I found it hard to erase back in. I will have to make a skin texture template for myself.

Hi, I noticed that you used the LabGenius Mini Vortex Mixer which sells for $91 on Amazon. Can you tell me why you chose this paint mixer over the cheaper ones? Others sell for quite a bit less (about $30) and I’m wondering why you chose the more expensive one. Thank you!

Nice Job 👍 thanks for explaining this with great detail. I have a a variable dremel tool with the flex shift rotary. Like a pen sort of. Can it be use for this. It has different speeds. It also has a chuck on it. You think it be fine to stick the eraser on it and use it or how did you attached your eraser to your Dremel tool. keep the videos coming. A great tutorial indeed. 💯👍

It's too bad you didn't list the formula for the flesh tone at the beginning. One of the hardest things for me is the mixing of colours and when there's an exact formula it makes it a lot easier.

Bow many aurbrush do you use? I mean everytime you switch to another color? Or is it possible to work with a single airbrus? The colors don’t get mixed in the aurbrush and become another color?

@theartworkshop Ай бұрын

I just one one airbrush. Very rarely do I use 2 airbrushes for a painting. Switching between colors is very easy- takes me like 10 seconds. Here is a video I made on how I do it. Hope it helps! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p7RhqpBouM6vYGw.html

Is there any room when airbrushing to apply lighter colour on darker tones, working from dark to light? Or is that too problematic respectively impossible to get to work?

@theartworkshop Жыл бұрын

yes, of course! But you get a blue/grey color shift which is annoying. Nothing wrong with dark to light though. I used to only paint that way but much prefer painting light to dark these days.

I tried mixing the fleshtone using your mixture with same exact paint but it is purple??? Just purple. 20 drops burnt umber, 20 red violet, 8 moss green, and about 10 distilled water?

@theartworkshop 2 жыл бұрын

So many things can cause this- improperly mixed paint and different color mixtures from the factory are 2 common ones. It sounds like your red violet has too much blue- I've seen this before as well. Either add more green to counter the red, more yellow to counter violet, or use less red-violet in the mixture. Color mixing should never been seen as a recipe!! I have to adjust colors for every single portrait. Rarely do colors mix exactly the same. Make sure you watch my video on mixing flesh tones.
