The Contour, Texture and Shading

Below about the contour, texture and shading.

Pure Contour and Blind Contour
The technique of blind contour drawing is to improve your hand-eye coordination. Blind contour drawing with a main display of your drawing without looking at the paper. This technique requires a superlative level of observation. blind contour drawing will improve your ability to observe the movements of the hand on the paper to coordinate the two. Pure contouring involves the perfect outline clearly defined edges while looking at the paper. Even the shade of a line drawn has a meaning in the pure outline. It is also on the control channel-cons, with vertical and horizontal lines that help us to form two-dimensional visual effect of a 3D object.

Texturing and Shading
Shading and textures are available as soon as you know how to win in sketches an overview of your design. They will need kneaded eraser for shade. Eraser help give more vivid colors on your sketch. The first step is to focus on the spots on your sketch. Then take a pencil, his average (between darkness and light), and begin shading in pencil angular features. Move closer to the darkest spots on your map, then the shadow of these spots with black pencil. Remember to always look first, then begin to tail. You can also use different textures for your design, such as shading, hatching or you can create your own texture with a combination of these with burrs. Smear is a simple, soft and fuzzy texture to your design. It may simply confuse your sketch to do with the fingertips.

Cross Hatching and Stippling of Pen Shading

Below about pen shading.

Cross hatching and stippling are two basic techniques to create tone and texture of the ink image. This is a traditional technique that is used by artists for centuries. They can be implemented in a manner that is tightly regulated.


In "The Ivy tree asylum, Van Gogh combines an intuitive cross-hatching and stippling to create boldly expressive techniques, which, of course, reflect the shape, texture, and the energy issue. spontaneity and fluidity of stroke questioner says a lot on the personality of the artist as they are. It is the artists' technical skills, even though the filtered personal vision, which determine the quality of the work of art.




If we see detailed close-ups of Whitby, this will help us to uncover how to combine the tonal cross hatching and stippling, and texture effects. Different techniques of cross hatching and stippling is used to provide shade and texture of the walls and roof. These techniques can be used separately, but combine to enhance their efficiency. Following the pattern of bricks and roof tiles are discussed, regional and cross-door hatch to show the depth of its tone and shape. Stippling was carried out in different densities so plain and patterned brick wall texture of the dirt, and offer different surfaces.

Different Techniques of Shading

Below the effect of different of shading technique.

This technique is known as hatching. Usually formed from lines cross siri. To switch between light and darkness, begins with the lines that unfold, with intersecting lines a little and slowly sets overlap with more than one line when darkness first. This technique is widespread, Keran generally clean and simple.


This technique for film. Essentially it consists of lines of writing that are rarely used in official photos. It's fast, and highly recommended for quick sketches.


This is the technique of the circular. This model is done by moving your pencil in a circular motion. The left image shows a faster version of this technique with a large loop. The variation of intensity is determined by loop pressure and size. Loose also disyorkan circle for quick sketches.


This is another form of circular techniques. Loop is very tight, giving the entire surface smooth. This technique is very good for skin and clothing, but that does not take more time.


This texture while mixing. We essentially used a pencil-layer Berbezit Beza in tone, and take your fingers and invaded until smooth. This technique is ideal for drawing a smooth surface, especially the skin, and very suitable for those who have no patience.

Type of Cross Hatching

Here's about type of crooshatching.

Loose CrossHatching
If you have something painted, you've probably already used this method in the background. This is a simple but effective. I think this is a very artistic look. The main idea is to overlap the door lines. Start drawing a series of parallel diagonal lines. Then turn 90 degrees and make a drawing of a second series of diagonal lines, which overlap the first set. This can be repeated several times to build up the tone. Hatch can be as tightly or loosely as you want.



Tight CrossHatching
Using the ideas of non-hatching, shading, this method takes a bit further. Tone is built on repetition and a soft touch. I found this method of shading is working very well, I pet hair. It is not perfect and show through some paper teeth.

What is crosshatching?

Today's about definition of cross hatching.

Crosshatching is a continuation of the outbreak, which uses a fine use of parallel lines drawn closely together to create the illusion of shadow or texture of the drawing.

Crosshatching is a design with two layers of cover at right angles to create a mesh pattern. You can create multiple layers of texture in different directions. Hatching is often used to create sound effects, or adding additional layers of different-spaced lines. Hatch used a pencil drawing, but is especially useful for drawing in pen and ink to create the impression in your area, because the pen can only create a black line.

Basic Pen Strokes for Ink Drawing

Below about basic stroke for ink drawing.

We are accustomed to thinking in terms of ink drawings on line, because the thick black line drawn with pen and ink, we imagine that we do not create tone. While this may be, strictly speaking, true - there are many ways we can create the illusion of value.

Hatching
The simplest method of value added in the ink drawing is linear hatching. Fine parallel lines fill an area, so that only a small distance, we have the illusion of value. The more lines, shows less white paper, and the darker the value appears. Line weight heavier (solid or with a more pressing NIB), is also a darker aspect.

Crosshatching
Hatching uses layers of hatching placed at an angle. Usually, the first layer would be vertical, horizontal to the next, the next forty-five degrees, and so on. This methodological approach may seem a bit 'mechanical, so artists often use variations in the direction of interest to add.

Graphite Pencil Shading

Today's about shading with graphite pencil.

Value of the painting is like drawing in graphite, although the process is different than with a brush, you must think in terms of areas instead of lines. Shade the shadows, observing the shape and value, the shadow carefully on the edge of the adjacent areas of light. The incredible realism that we see in some pictures of this approach to a very high degree of detail, where the tonal values ​​are closely monitored and finely drawn.



In the example shown here, a detail from a study of still life, a glass of wine offers interesting reflections and highlights. Sometimes it may seem weird, drawing strange shapes on the smooth surface, or the amount of light when you know that wine is dark, or leaving the board to disappear into the background when you want to draw a line, but if you do trust your eyes and try to capture what you see, drawing a realistic look.

Tools for the job:
A pencil H must be as hard as you need for lighter shades, a HB will give you a good half, with B and 2B for the darker shade. For very dark areas of 4 or B 6 may be required.

With the pencil:
Keep your pencils sharpened, and to apply tone in small circular motions on the fast side of the hand. Randomly varying the point of start / stop shading prevent unwanted streaks across a shaded area. Use a pencil and a bit 'more difficult to trace on a surface made with a grease pencil, right on the pitch and fill the tooth of the paper. This also reduces the contrast of texture between the different types of pencil. A tire can be used to increase the points. I recommend that you avoid mixing or smearing beginners at first, but rather learn to make the most of the pencil mark. Once you are confident with your shadow, you might try using a paper log to mix tones. Be sure to use a full range of tone - many beginners are afraid of the shadows, or jump from light to dark, but lost the in-between stages.

Shading Tonal Values

These about shading tonal values.

In developing a value, you will create an illusion with areas of tonal value. When you use a hard line drawn to define the edge, you disrupt this illusion. Is the edge defined by two different spheres of the meeting of the tonal value.

The purpose of the realistic picture is to show your shadow and light and surfaces, creating the illusion of three dimensions. The line defining the edge is visible and not say anything about light and darkness. Line drawing and the drawing is a representation of two different "systems. " Mixing the two can be confusing, if the image is realistic is your goal.

When you create pictures of value, you must be out of fashion change of line drawing, and the best way is to forbid me to draw a line, and focus on areas of value. You can use a line of light to the base form. From there, the shadow of the building. Often, the "outline" is the junction between two different values, and created by the contrast between light and dark.

Pencil Greyscale

Below about a simple pencil greyscale.

A simple grayscale pencil is the first step to get your pencil shade escort. Drawing from the five-place grid wire an inch. With a sharp pencil tip, first as a dark shadow that one, and finally as the light that you can. Shade places in equal steps between the two left, so that the mean square is a good mid-tones. Cuba is different pencil - you can see the different tone can be achieved with everyone - from 6B to 2H.

Useful Tools to Supplement Shading Techniques

Today's we want to talk about the useful tools to supplement shading technique.

Try using tools such as brush or a fan brush to soften the shadows. You can then continue adding more layers.


Different brushes to do otherwise, so you'll get used to the pressure to brush what you want. I suggest using a large brush and ink to soften the texture of the night photos.

A rubber worked is a very useful tool for modeling the tone. Give a point to be able to more accurately take the dust of charcoal or graphite pencil.

You can lighten up a territory and attract other parts of the pigment in the same period. It can also be dragged to equally your image to smooth out. If you accidentally remove too many dry pigment in this way, only the nuances of the original building again.

Master Basic Shading Techniques

These about the basic shading technique.

Concealment methods allow you to weave a layer on a layer of pencil strokes in a convincing form to add your drawings.

This adds shading and creates a sense of your topic convincing tonal relationship. It then translates the terms of the ratio of the volume of the "similarity". Your drawing is correct in the form of three-dimensional shadows.

If you have already confident in drawing the lines and contours, is the next important step, these master techniques to give your drawings in "stuff"!

There are several methods to learn, but it fared well, even if only one or two goes a long way to go. I have seen many good cartoons to make only one or two shading methods.

# 1 Hatching: building up of dark value by means of thin parallel lines

Apply one layer of lines parallel to each other using an even pressure all the way across. Go back over them when necessary to darken the tone.

This is the most basic shading technique. It requires a steady hand and practice. Done well, it may be the only shading technique you need.

# 2 Cross hatching: building up multiple layers of hatched lines that cross each other at an angle


This is an especially common technique in engraving. To add variety, you can use this common shading technique along with basic hatching to convey the form of your subject.

This technique requires even more pressure control as you lay down the lines.

#3 Stumping: using the pointed end of a piece of paper which has been tightly rolled into a “stick” to “smudge” lines on your drawing

Photoshop : Blending Shading

Below step to shading in photoshop.

Blending
It is easy, but necessary, it is very important to understand how to use blending modes ...

Looking at the level of your Photoshop window (if the toolbar is not> windows> layers) (If you do not know what the level is not the question here is too important for me to explain) this window, there are some things that influence interactions with the layers below the layer, we are interested in the opacity and blend mode.

Opacity should be obvious, but do not forget that it can not control how powerful blending mode to use it for sure, if you do not like the effect, because it is overloaded.

Blend Mode is not difficult to use, has plenty to choose from, and all have a significant impact on the top level of the drop-down window when you click on the text to select it, then just use the arrow keys or the scroll wheel to control any combination of one chance after another, I wont tell them why not just easy to get used to, and watched them.

Do not forget to use blending modes.

1: Grads
Gradients are easy but can be effective, here is a small few things that you can do with them.
(note grad is related to gradual so for people who don't know what a gradient is it is a gradual switch between hues, saturations, opacitys, and shades (if you don't know those terms look them up on wikipedia)

OK, in photoshop, click on your paint bucket then wait for the little tool change box to appear and select the gradient tool, now in the tool bar at the top, click on the current gradient to bring up the gradient editor.

there are a few gradients to select, just select pure black to pure white, then notice the long bar showing the gradient, here is where you can edit the gradient, along the top of the bar the markers tell you the opacity (100% = black, 0% = white) and along the bottom hue/shade/saturation.

now if you double click a marker you can change it's value, and if you click along the bottom/top of the bar you can add more markers, now just after this it gets useful, if you select any marker you can see a small dot left and/or right will appear, between it and the next marker, just click and drag this and you can change the bias of how the gradient changes.

other useful things are that the markers attributes are pointed out below or above them, such as primarily the location in a % form, just edit this directly if you want something mathematically aligned.



2: Styles
OK back to the layer window, double click any layer (apart from background layer) and the styles editor pops up, this will be more obvious if there is something on the layer, so paint some random lines or make a square or something (just don't fill the whole thing as it will mess up the stroke effect)

Now, this is maliciously overused by people who have no real idea what they are doing, if you use this, be subtle or effective, use it's dynamic properties to your benefit but don't overkill.

Effects that are good for shading purposes here are bevel, satin, outer/inner glow/shadow/drop shadow, gradient overlay and pattern overlay. (I'll talk more about pattens when we do pixel shading)

there really isn't much i can teach you on these effects, apart from avoid over doing them, avoid bevel, avoid drop shadow, and practice all of them often.

Shade Glass Technique

It's about how to shade glass.

Shadow or engraving on glass is a decorative technique that removes the glass surface with a caustic, acids or abrasives. The shading can be used to decorate the glasses, dishes, mirrors, windows, glass tables or glass surfaces. Shade is ideal for adding a decorative touch to a single party. It 's a simple way to make the anniversary of its kind or baby shower favors. The windows can be shadow to hide unwanted views or privacy while allowing sunlight in this project, we will make a plate or etched glass diffuser.

#1
Center the image on the contact paper so there is a 1-inch border around the image.

#2
Trace the image on the contact paper using the pencil and the tracing paper. Simple images work best for this project. I am using a heart shape for this project.

#3
Using the craft knife, cut out the heart shape and then the 1-inch border around the heart.

#4
Peel the paper backing off the contact paper and center the heart in the middle of the back of the plate. Firmly press the contact paper onto the plate, removing any wrinkles or air bubbles.

#5
Put on rubber gloves.

#6
Using the brush, apply the etching cream and allow to set according to the manufacturer's instructions. Application and setting times will vary with the product used.

#7
Wearing the gloves, rinse the cream off under running water.

#8
Peel off the contact paper.

#9
Rinse off any excess etching cream.

#10
Wash the plate in warm, soapy water and dry. The plate is now ready for use or for display.

Shading with Pen Technique

These about shading technique of using pen.

Ink drawing is one of the most difficult aspects of drawing in general. You're in the shade and pictures by creating so-called "hard edge design." This is not an easy thing to do, especially if one tries to look a little realistic. You not look real - This is why it is often used in cartoons where the character is an insult to be used or humans or animals.

One of the most common techniques used is called pointillism. It is used for shade and is very common in many styles of ink drawing. This is a set of points close so that no capacity to see everything so far that the surface looks white. This is a relatively easy way to "shadow" in ballpoint pen. Man, the dot size and where they are made. They can also be used for different "forms" better (ie, which can be rounded or straight, and watch anyway of course).

Another technique is called hatching. It's simply a series of lines that are drawn across a surface, ranging from solid black to very far apart (depending on the size of the surface, they may get farther or still be relatively close to represent the white). It's a good technique for beginning artists, as drawing straight lines at varying intervals isn't hard. One should be careful that they GRADUALLY move apart, and that nothing is done suddenly. It won't create the necessary effect if this is done.

Cross-hatching is another element of design. It's a more complicated one, and is usually done by advancing artists. It's drawing lines in two directions (usually perpendicular, but not necessarily) to create shading. It's harder to do, as the intervals of both lines must be watched carefully. This is not recommended for beginning ink drawers, who should most likely start with regular hatching.

A lot of the design lies in the way the artist chooses to set up his/her paper. Overlap should be used (when necessary; in designs, but not always when characters are being created), and interesting negative space should be created as positive images are laid down. This is very eye-catching (the element of design itself) especially in this type of drawing, where there is rarely any color. Ink drawing usually means black and white.

Another thing that an artist can do to make things more interesting is vary the way the line is. This means edges (which can vary between sharp and soft) and, especially, line thickness. Many different pens are often used in order to create a contrast between certain sections. At least three different pens should be available, from around 0.3mm to 1mm. These will create even more "ideas" in the work - very thin lines tend to create sharper edges and clearer images, while thicker lines tend to blur things and make them more "user friendly."

Following these techniques, anyone can come up with a beautiful ink drawing. It's not too hard a skill to learn; it simply employs techniques which must be followed a little more closely than some other types of drawing. This will also enhance anyone's art skills, and will leave them with a good foundation for moving on to smearable materials and color.

The Stroke of Hatching

Today's we learn about tips to stroke using pen or pencil.

In this section some tips on using your pen or pencil to draw and shade. The good companion to "provide shade and" education is.

Here's a very simple example illustrates the basic way with pencil rendering. "Slinky" stroke (as it calls Anthony Ryder, in his book High Life Drawing) a unique opportunity to describe a particular type of pencil. Ryder called for the "Sneak" because it goes back and forth, back and forth, just like a child toy slinky.

The basis of many processing and shading with pencil and ballpoint pen is. It is as simple! If you are familiar with the preparation of this time, not practice it in your sketchbook. It's fun!


Here's an illustration showing the "crosshatching" of a pencil stroke. It's very simple principle—you just do the "slinky" thing in several different directions, one over the other! (I have put arrows over the different directions of my pencil strokes.) Each different direction adds more tone to the shading, and gets it progressively darker, and darker.


Some more examples of pencil strokes. The example on the left shows how a dark dark tone looks. One bears down a little harder with their pencil, and gets the darkest tone they can while using the "slinky" stroke. They do this going several different directions. Voilà! A very dark (even black) tone.

The example on the right is a more strict crosshatch. It isn't so much of a "slinky" stroke (one lifts the pencil up after making each line) but the same principle applies.

Airbrush Shading with Photoshop

Today's about shading with photoshop using airbrush.

The airbrush tool is commonly used for adding dimension with highlights and shading. I've made it easier on you and provided a layered Photoshop file with a pre-drawn heart shape on its own layer.

Practice using the airbrush tool with black and white paint to add dimension to the heart. Your goal is to produce something that looks like the finished example here. You can use layer effects for the drop shadow, but I only want you to use the airbrush for dimensional shading.

Tips:

1. Work on a separate layer!
2. Group the highlight and shadow layers with the heart layer so your paint doesn't spray outside of the heart shape.
3. Notice in my example how the black shading goes all the way to the edge, but the white highlights don't.
4. Mouse users may have a difficult time working with the airbrush tool. If you have a pressure-sensitive tablet, by all means... use it!
5. Look closely at the world around you and notice how real-life objects have highlights and shadows. This is the key to realistic painting in any graphics software.

Learn Technique of Color Pencil

Let's learn color pencil techniques.

This lesson introduces a few strokes of the pen base color that will be useful in the design. It 's a good idea to spend some' time exploring the color pencil medium with small pieces before groped a design major.

For this lesson, you will need good quality paper for drawing, and colored pencils, including a colorless blender if you have one.

The coup de crayon most fundamental is that you already know: simple face-to-side shading. Now the practice of law mark, leaving the fingers control the direction of the pen or the rotation of the elbow. Many novices accidentally their curved lines, the rotation of the wrist, hand, so that the surface looks shadowing rounded rather than flat.




Practice adjusting the amount of pressure that you apply to the pencil as you shade to precisely control the amount of color you lay down.

Side shading or tip shading? Is there a right way to shade with colored pencil? I don't think so: it depends on the effect you want. Let's take a quick look at the difference between side shading and tip shading with colored pencil.

This advanced technology gives you more control over details of shading as a base shade, creating a smooth texture, which are used can lead to a subject.

* To shade smoothly patients with this relatively coarse texture, like the petals of flowers, glass or any shadow of the object with the same method so that it looks uniform.

* Or you can add more interest to a drawing using different textures. Try using "side of the pencil is in the shade (as described in the shadow of base) to find the rough areas and" pencil tip, or a combination of both, drawing smooth areas for research emerge.

Shade Drawing Using Photoshop

Learn how to shade drawing using photoshop.

Shadow is one of the more difficult to create both traditional and digital art. Heavy attention should be given on how light casts an object, and then interact with clothes like shadows and textures. Fortunately, there are tricks that can be used to determine where the light does not shine. For this design, the light source is located in the upper left. Read on to learn how to shade a drawing with Photoshop.

1. Open a line art file.

2. Duplicate the background layer. Use the eraser to erase all lines that will not cast a shadow on anything.

3. Stretch the top layer down. Erase all of the lines on the top layer that overlap areas that wouldn't have shadows cast on them.

4. Set the layer to multiply. This will allow you to color over darker lines without changing the lines. Choose a darker shade than the base color and draw over the lines.

5. Shade the parts of the drawing that are under the desk, such as the legs of the desk and human, since the light source does not hit these parts. Again, use multiply so that the gray does not cover the lines.

6. Shade half of each strand of hair. The part of the hair that is farther away from the light source should be shaded. In this picture, you will find shaded the right side of each strand of hair, since the light source is on the left side.

7. Understand that sometimes objects cast specific shadows on an object. To draw a shadow cast by an object, imagine the shape of the object and distort that object to fit the subject that the shadow is being cast upon. This requires some guessing, since there is no formula to determine exactly how the shadows should cast on the subject.

Shading in Photoshop: Brushing Shining Effects

Tutorial for brushing shining effects with photoshop.

It is time for final adjustments to their metallic effects. Let's go over the edges of the main forms of metal: an effect of light and flowers of light. The idea is to use reflection as a bright chrome, bright as special effects for the 3D shader brush.

First, to maintain their shadows and lighting effects to a new level, everyone is a good idea. This way, you can mix the plane, and the opacity and thus adjust the intensity of extra-brushed shadows and lights. Used to create the key combination Ctrl + Shift + N a new layer in Photoshop.

Lighting

Let's start with the lighting and highlights. To create a real looking metal effect in Photoshop, you have brush a glowing aura near the spots of maximum highlight. That's nearly how the metallic glow and bloom effects work.

To brush a shining edge effect, select the Photoshop Brush Tool (shortcut: B) and pick a big and soft brush through the brush menu or by right clicking anywhere on the canvas while you have a brush selected.

Hold Shift while brushing to create horizontal and vertical strokes. Press Shift + Click to brush straight lines. That's a good idea to remark the shining edges of metallical pieces with a precise and industrial look.

Set the blending mode of the layer with these lighting effects to Screen. Screen increases the light value of the layers below, so it acts as a lighting source, always making the underlying image brighter. That's why screen is the best blending mode to create highlight effects in Photoshop.

The most appropriate color to create metallic highlight effects should be nearly white. Take into account that darker colors haven't nearly any affect in screen mode. Nevertheless, pure white may be too intense, leading to an overexposed result that may not admit further color adjustments. If your source of lighting has any tone, you can add a little bit of extra color and saturation to your layer of highlights (such as a soft yellow for a sunlit metal, and so on).

Shading

You can use a similar technique to increase the strength of the shading effects. Select a soft brush and start painting on those dark areas whose contrast you want to increase.

I would pick a slightly harder and bigger brush than the one used for the lighting effects, with a dark grey color to increase the strength of the shadows.

The blending mode of this layer used for shading purposes should be set to Multiply. The multiply mode always darkens the underlying layers by mixing them with the brushed color. In fact, multiply is just the opposite of screen (that's why the screen blending mode was formerly known as "divide" in older Photoshop versions, as it is actually the inverse operation of multiply).

Now let's see a nearly automated procedure to create light glow effects, and a trick to make the metallic lighting effects more realistic.

Need pictures? See this link. I got source from this.

Circularism Shading Technique

For today I want to describe about Circularism Technique.

A method for shading, texture paint creates value established by the combination of curved lines. Values are from the density in which the curved lines are drawn. For light shades, less curved lines are drawn. For darker tones of many curved lines are close together. Stop the lines to create a smoother appearance that looks more structured light shades Technology circularism.

Shading Technique: Crosshatching

Hey guys. Today I want to describe about crosshatching.

Hatching of the transformation to create smooth shading over the surface of another set of lines is set in one of the routes. Hatch, creating a variety of textures and a more student-friendly than are hatched, it's between the lines is reduced by the presence of gap. It's cross-hatched in the following rule of thumb to create a square than the diamond-shaped space, the angle of the first set of lines that will be discussed.

Shading Technique: Hatching

This info about shading technique of hatching.



Hatching is the most common form of construction and is essentially a series of close cooperation between the lines that give the illusion of value. Concealment can be created using a circle, straight, long lines, short lines, and any combination of the above. the movement of hatching eggs to be the apex of the reflective object. For example, if we are drawing a spherical shape, the incubation should be circular, cylindrical surface, the curve should resemble a flat surface, hatching, hatching should describe a straight line. Lines can run in any direction, towards the end of incubation depends on the appearance of the figure. Change the orientation of the roof lines describing the natural shape and form of the question.

The Encyclopedia of Airbrush Tecniques by Michael Leek
A complete A-Z visual directory of airbrushing techniques and how to use them. Using step-by-step demonstrations and the work of a wide variety of professional artists, this book explores all the major methods of working. An initial techniques section shows how basic forms are built up - with guidance on casting shadows, masking, highlighting, ghosting, haloing and more. An inspirational gallery of original work is included with many ideas which will help improve skills and develop individual styles. This comprehensive, informative encyclopedia, is a valuable to addition to the artist's bookshelf.

The first half of Michael E. Leek's Encyclopedia of Airbrush Techniques is devoted to technique and real-world examples of how techniques are used. The second half illustrates themes of professional work, and how they exemplify various techniques and design concepts. To a total beginner, this book is filled with detailed steps and explanations, but does not qualify as a first how-to book. The examples and pictures describe brush technique well enough, but do little to enlighten how and where the masking is applied and removed. The photos range from simple to enticing, and are a good basis for practice ideas and experimenting with the airbrush.
To an intermediate airbrush artist, the techniques are a good example of method, and may help round out a repertoire of skills. Vivid selections of advanced professional airbrush work cry out for a more advanced book of technique combinations.
