Well here's a piece that I painted and sold a few years ago.(I liked it so much I've decided to paint it again).
It's a 58x80cm metal surface
Teh paint used is Etac exf 500.
The airbrush is a no name "cheapo ebay" airbrush self tunned.
Erasers of all kinds used.
I've posted it in diferent stages.

Great work David.... Amazing detail in the skin texture!

I think that pic depicts how he was able to sustain a note indefinately? Not many people have that much air volume on tap.

If you had him hanging around the shop, you could just toss your air compressor!!

[michelancello]

Goergeous!!! Amazing!!!

When you say Ebay no name airbrush... is the initial are A.C.? :wink2:

Looks good. Talent on both ends.

Thanks for your kindness,

Josie,
I'm self tought and I've been doing this for a long time.
I had my first airbrush when I was a young man but even though I was interested in painting.
I was more interested in Women at that time and i didn't have a copressor so the air was a problem. I took it a bit more serious like 12 years ago but I've been painting on and off ever since.
Skids,
If I had him in my shop (I don't have a shop just a tiny room at home to paint) I wouldn't paint I would just listen to him all day long and :cheers: .
Michelancello,
The airbrush is similar but streight from Macao.
Try to change the "O ring" for an Iwata one.
I also fine tune the needle but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that doesn't have mechanical knowledge.
With the money saved I could afford to buy a D 80:love: so I could take the pictures of my work.:partyalone: :partyalone:

gna gna gna... gna gna gna... gna gna gna! :blah: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

you know David... for me there was 2 portraits legend in the airbrush work... Tica from Dru and your Dizzy Gillespie! Honestly! :hail: So it is an honnor to see this step by step! Thank's

I tuned the copy airbrush and made it work like a hp-ch but at the end, I tryed to buff the nozzle head and this ruined the airbrush. I called the company for another nozzle head, I was ready to pay for it but the told me they wanted to give me one on waranty... wich was kind of them! But 2 weeks after I received a totaly bended needle (the tip was a hook!!!) and a used and dirty head! If the airbrush would of work... I would of draw them a nice raised center finger! Instead I send them a message telling I was buying my Iwata.

Hope my english was ok... this want was dificult for me!
