This image is an illustration I did some years ago now back in the day before the advent of the personal computer. Back in a time when illustrations were ALL done by hand.
The technique of choice for me in the 1980's and early 1990's was Airbrush.
You could achieve ultra realism by the smooth flow of paint that you could produce. But like all tools, fairly useless in the hands of the unskilled. This meant many, many, many hours studying other artists, reading books, and practicing before being able to produce anything worthwhile looking at let alone showing to another living being.
So what do you think?
Would you like to learn how to do this? Leave a comment.
