Airbrush Snowboard Video
Feb 11th
A friend of mine in one of the forums posted this awesome set of videos he made of an airbrush snowboard … it turned out just incredible!
What’s even better about this video is the story behind it ….
Rod of OnFireGrafx is such a sweetie …. he was feeling the giving spirit of christmas and decide that he would paint a snowboard and give it to a deserving kid who doesn’t have access to such luxurious things!
The world could use a few more Rods … don’t you think?
Cheap Airbrush DVDs: How to get yours for less!
Feb 11th
Cheap airbrush DVDs? Do they exist?!?
The answer is yes and no.
Airbrush DVDs are one of the most highly sought after airbrush training tools yet most people are turned off by their really high prices. A good quality DVD can cost you between $60 and $150 … and most people think that is absurd! Myself included.
How is it that producers of these airbrush DVDs can charge so much?
I think it all must be based on history… if you think back, it wasn’t very long ago that producing video was an extremely laborious and expensive task.

Feb 11th
Holy COW!! Steve Nunez can freehand airbrush better than I can WALK!
Watching him airbrush is like watching a miracle… if you are just learning to airbrush, I want to point a few things to watch for in the video:
1. His reference is always close by and he looks at it often
2. He moves his canvas around … most likely for two reasons, a) to get better angle and b) to look at his painting from a different perspective
3. His dagger strokes for the hair are masterful – this is what can be done with lots and More >
How to Airbrush Nails Video
Feb 11th
I have been getting lots of questions about how to airbrush nails …
This video shows just what is possible …this nail is painted by Chong Kyu Kim.
Before you watch the video … a quick breakdown of the steps:
1. Start with a clean finger nail (you can apply a base nail polish if you want)
2. Apply design using ACRYLIC airbrush paint
3. Apply clear nail polish over entire nail
4. Let the clear nail polish dry
5. Clean up overspray on the skin with soap and water.
And now…. the video!
Airbrush Blocking Video
Feb 11th
Using the airbrush blocking techniques is a great way to speed along an airbrush project. This video is a superb example of it… much better than my example.
Basically, as you will see in the video, blocking is when you lay down the base colors of a painting with a paint brush and then tweak the color later with your airbrush to give it dimension.
Watch the video here first and I’ll blather on a bit more below it:
This technique is especially useful when you are doing LARGE projects that are not on metal surfaces (metal surfaces will show brush More >
