I used to do a lot of traditional airbrushing many years ago.

I've decided I could use some of that action in my portfolio, so I am airbrushing a cheeseburger in my downtime.

Sketched a burger from photo reference, scanned it, cut my paths in Freehand and imported them to channels in PS and got to painting:



This could be done faster traditionally, but having undos, layers, color correction, etc. makes Photoshop more efficient.

I'll post my progress as I continue...

Tomatoes started.



I miss having scraps of paper to use as stencils when airbrushing as well as Xacto knives to scrape highlights and colored pencils, paints to clean up details...

Mousin' it.

I want one of those Wacom tablets, but they're still too small and pricey at $100 per inch...

The Waco I used to have was about the size of a 20inch lcd monitor, only cost $20 2nd hand?
And then just hunted out the mac software for it online for free.

Had the same size ones at work for years but I have no idea what they cost..... Had a boss that liked new toys and never cared what they cost. :happydance:

Oh and you need to darken/blacken bits in the meat for the char grilled look, and to tone down the sort of glistening mottled brown glass look it has at the moment.

Just my pedantic 2 cents. ;)
