I seriously cannot “Like” this tutorial enough…..there needs to be a “I f-king LOVE this” button …..great job teaching us. Thank you!

The Bob Ross of airbrushing..... amazing how effortless you make it SEEM. Great stuff!

Great work Mick. Thanks for taking the time to show your videos. Gives me inspiration.

This video was amazing and inspiring for me. I mainly do ornate metalwork and tool making but just picked up airbrushing to compliment some of my designs. You make it look so effortless that I am not intimidated to give this a go. Thank you for sharing your skills.

Varnish on canvas before working!!! Genius!!! Going to try that, thanks bro!...

it's interesting how you make the light work for you. Understanding how to make light work FOR you instead of against is the key factor!

This is amazing. Excellent demonstration and instruction. Thanks

Great tutorial Mick, the hair looks very realistic and smooth. Thank You.

Another great video!

This video is very informative. I just started air brushing and basically have no idea what to do, but I do know so far I'm not doing too bad, I do have spray paint experience. Airbrush is similar but different...edit: at the end when you added colour. Wow!!! Seriously wow that hair looks awesome.

This was great, I liked how you use the scotch bright pad for the smooth blending.

Großartig vielen Dank für die tolle Beschreibung und Darstellung. Gruß aus Hamburg

I have always wanted to master this. I just got Iwata Eclipse so if I can't get it I will not blame the airbrush. I will follow your instruction. Thanks Also I am subscribed.

As I am new to air brushing. this was interesting to watch. the only one thing that was missing from this. for me it was the settings for the airbrush itself.

good job 👏👍

Excellent stuff! I used to illustrate a lot in the '80's, all media, lots of airbrush, (Aerograph super 63).... Photoshop now... 👍🏻🍻🇬🇧

Got something similar to do but I have a black background so I'll try this with white rather than black maybe 🤔

That is the best tutorial I’ve seen on hair. Thank you very much.

Mick, I have to say inspirational videos, don’t ever stop the narration it’s that that sets you apart. One issue I tried your “hair” yesterday, using a water based acrylic and can’t get it to erase? Used a plastic type paper we get in Aus, then tried doing over a white acrylic base with some clear? Do you use a specific type of eraser?

@mickeyracer

Im using old typewriter erasers, or florette erasers, lyra do a blue one which works well, or try sand erasers, you may have to carve them a little to get the shape but they work ok. The pencil erasers are getting a little difficult to get these days. Also try the eraser nibs for the electric ones if you can get one to fit in a charcoal holderthey work well also, again search for sand erasers for electric erasers

great video m8 @ 20:40 you mention the colour needs to be transparent, so do you mean very thin, almost a glaze, or do you mean actual transparent paint ? cheers.

Great tutorial, I tried to airbrush blonde by painting the hair with burnt Umber, and tinting it with yellow, but it didn't look blonde, what should I tint with to get blonde?

I am new to airbrushing, now does an eraser pencil work with acrylic paint on paper? Or is it for specific paints on certain backgrounds? Like.....water paint on metal or god knows what a real combo would be😊

@mickeyracer

The surface need to be non absorbent. A good piece of sign board or di-bond panel is a great start point. A lot of the papers i use are synthetic so they are almost a plastic surface. This allows the paint yo sit on the surface rather than be absorbed in. Erasing is only possible when the paint is not absorbed, normal cards and paper wont work how you would expect them to

What type paint using ? 🤔

Great video Mick. I watched your video on realistic fur, or most of it, so I tried it myself and used a tiny piece of scotch pad and got a great effect on some very straight black hair I was trying to brush. It's a fantastic trick. BTW what is that eraser pencil called? It must be abrasive to work, I tried a white drawing eraser and it made a mess. I couldn't find any abrasive eraser pencils at the store last time I looked so I was wondering what they are called or who makes them...
