Take for instance Darth Maul. With the proper stenciling techniques, this face could be reproduced with airbrush in about 10-15 minutes, complete. As another example, we were recently challenged in New Orleans to airbrush a man s chest, making it look like he had feminine breasts. We used only the illusion of airbrush and it turned out with very convincing results. You can also easily accomplish many different skin effects, such as bruising, swelling or texture.
Temporary tattoos are another fine example of airbrush diversity.
You can create the same tattoo a thousand times, and it will be consistent every time. Body painting is a good place to use your airbrush, too. The application is quick, with excellent highlights, shadows and detail. Not at all. The most difficult part of learning to airbrush is figuring out the technical end.
