How simple can you get you ask? Well before you can create
that great masterpiece, paint the hottest bike on the planet or the meanest low
rider on earth you have to master these very basic airbrushing skills.
I’ve had several requests for a airbrush how to article along these lines,
airbrushing stars so here is a short version I hope you find helpful. If
you’d like to request an airbrush how to article be added to this site
please contact me thru the airbrush
forum at airbrushtechnique.com.
What I used to put this article
together: newsprint, Golden Airbrush Colors, easel, double action airbrush,
Printer paper. |
 |
|
For this how to I used a double action airbrush. Master
Airbrush G44 which I found to work great and is the one of the best enter level
airbrushes I’ve used.
We’ll start out with what we’ll
call a t-shirt star, as this technique for creating stars is very popular for
t-shirt designs but can be used in on verity of other surfaces also. This
technique will test if you’ve been practicing the dagger strokes as
outlined in Airbrush Lesson #1 on this
site. |
|
Step #1) Make a dragger stoke up your painting surface, mine
is about 4 inches long. Please keep in mind thru this entire article I’m
using newsprint which is not a white surface so the colors will not be that
bright. |
|
Step #2) Now airbrush dagger strokes going down and to the
left and right as pictured above. |
|
Step #3) Airbrush four more dagger strokes, one between each
of the dagger strokes you added in step 2. |
|
Step #4) Now backing your airbrush back away from your
painting surface several inches airbrush a circle around the star as pictured
above. Moving your airbrush back in closer to the painting surface airbrush
dots as pictured above. |
|
Step #5) Now airbrush some white highlights as pictured
above and you have just created your first t-shirt design star. Change the
colors, add more dagger strokes, vary the length of the dagger strokes the
possibilities are endless with this so have some fun. Post your results on the
t-shirt forum on airbrushtechnique.com I’d love to check them out.
