How To Airbrush A Portrait Step By Step Guide

Here's a nice beginner airbrush portrait to have a go at, there are some tricky bits like the hair across the face but you have a few options to achieve the look. I go into more detail on ways we can do eyelashes and eyebrows, so some great opportunities for you to pick up airbrushing tips

@ Ong Dave I can’t believe you said that !! I started to get emotional quick story my best friend used to help when I was in a band and he before every show would say “ YOU GOOD ? And I would say yes ! And he would say OFF YOU TROT AND HAVE A GOOD SHOW ! He was involved and a car accident a drunk driver ran a light hitting my best friend T BONE side ! He was rushed to Cedar Sinai hospital and was pronounced deceased upon arrival ! That absolutely crushed me and changed my life I quit music and became a police officer and I still think about him almost everyday and people say you learn to live with the pain but it still hurts and I miss him so much but when I saw that I instantly started to cry and my wife said Marc what’s wrong I showed her your text and she knows the story and she even started to cry ! Brother this is just wow !! What are the odds but thank you from the bottom of my heart you made me feel not sad inside but happy cause I know there is AWSOME people out there whether they know it or not buddy thank you again ! But I can’t wait to get started on this one !!

The portrait is beautiful so far; What are you painting on? What size is it? What paint are you using? Have you reduced the paint, and if so, what is your reduction ratio? What airbrush are you using, and with what needle size? What air pressure are you running at,? How did you transfer the image to surface you are painting on?

[@Xtremepaintstudio]

Thank you, It's A3 but you can print it off in any size. I'm using Etac Paints and Createx Illustration and I don't reduce my paints.

[@TomaszRodzina]

Great work. You need to have a lot of patience to create all these works. What is the template you use to shade the skin?

[@Xtremepaintstudio]
