 In the meantime I am doing some other work for the same customer.

First page I started is a 20" x 30" Silver Surfer after Kirby

He is wanting it in color, and I will need to purchase an airbrush. Pending some comic sales at the next show on June 11 so this one is shelved for the moment...

Have you used airbrush before?  Any decent airbrush/compressor will be at least $500.  Then it takes at least a month to master.

Also you will need to use transparent acrylics since you already inked it otherwise opaque will cover over inks.

Nope, never have. I am looking to buy one in June, I was quoted a price of $400 for both the airbrush and the compressor. I have until September to get a hang of it.

well just get an airbrush book thats how I learned.  Dont use frisket use acetate and spray adhesive.  the bottle paints you need to stir not just shake.  Binks is the best airbrush I ever had pasche sucked and iwata was ok.

If its one of those mini compressors I would avoid. I used a regular compressor like contractors use.

That's fantastic!  What kind of ink do you use?  I like Speedball's Superblack, and I mix in a bit of charcoal.

Ps after many hours of airbrushing once in a while you get a spat of water due to condensation buildup.  You can get a condensation trap but I never bothered the events are rare and with an airbrush you can fix anything-just spray over damage with white opaque and re-paint.

Combination of different inks. Mostly copic 110 black with a brush.
