Hi Mick, I just watched your video and wanted to say that you are an excellent teacher. You take the time and trouble to explain exactly what to do to the smallest detail. I was lucky to have been able to attend some of your courses. Thank you for this video

Outstanding Mick !! You are a great help and give us lots of inspiration .Thank you Chippedave Spain..

Thank You for taking the time to share this. I just started painting fishing lures 4 months ago and I am going to try this technique on a rat or mouse pattern. I'll practice on paper trying to get that shorter hair look. Hopefully I can make it work. Again, Thank You for your time II just learned something new about airbrushing today.

Thank you for all the good techniques. Hope you continue with more helpful tips. Chris 51🇸🇪👍🏻

I have been using an airbrush for my art work since the 60's and over the years have run training and workshops about using airbrushes and related mediums. You said at the beginning of this tutorial you use "Un-reduce paint" for for this project. I have to say in my experience that when you want to rub back using what you showed or using rubbers/electric erasers it's best to reduce the acrylic paints using water. This will weaken the acrylic binders used in airbrush acrylics making the process easier to remove the paint on your illustration board. I found that some brands of acrylic inks such as "Schmincke Aero Color" binders will actually "ball up" when scratched back. You can always spray straight acrylic binder/medium over your work after you rub it back to give the paint extra strength. This is only a suggestion, as I work for some time manufacturing artist pants. Nice Video ;-)

I dont agree Ken, i find with reducers you have to layer the paint more to build up the intensity desired leaving a harsh erase mark, with the paint neat i find it stays fragile for a bit longer allowing a longer working time, but of course we are all different and this is what i find works best for me Cheers Mick

Amazing! You had me glued to the video until you brought that curved knife out at the end. It was almost as bad as chalk. 🤤😲😭.... Seriously, I appreciate you sharing your craft!

Brilliant video thanks Mick. Can I just ask one question? You mention you are using a water based paint in the airbrush. Can you please tell me which brand?

I am new to this, most tutorials I have watched say they are using water based paints or watercolours, what is the best for doing this process..

whats the paint reduced to? also are you using flow aid?

Wow!! Been studying awhile, but as fur goes; "You are a revalation" !!!!!!

Paint it white first, clearcoat it, prep and sand with around 800grit. This will give you a good barrier from the white and will allow you to scrape and erase without damaging the white, cheers Mick

brilliant, I've painted a few dog portraits in my time, but have had to stick to short haired only due to my inability to 'do' long fur, been playing around with airbrushes since the early 70s, self taught as there was no KZread back then, have only ever been very average in my artwork, dabbled in a few custom paint jobs on bikes and helmets. worked of years as a ceramic glaze airbrush painter. now I am finally retired I intend to work on my skills, it's due to people like yourself taking the trouble to make such informative video's that more and more people are turning to this fantastic way of creating art, so thank you and keep up the good work. Now... this 'eraser' pencil, erm,... what exactly is it? what do I order from Amazon?? thanks.
