i'm not to sure about digital art now i keep doing paintings in digital i keep saying i didn't use layers,people say "why don't you use layers"i say because "i love painting the way i do in real life theres no fuckn layers section in real life" you do paint in layers in real life but not like that,i just don't get the whole thing about it,i can paint digitally,but all this fancy shit confuses me.


I hope your experiments are successful i have heard of sumo paint,i know how you feel about been intimidated of the medium,you should try painting in traditional media one day believe me it's a lot more enjoyable,and real thats why i'm doing mostly traditional from now on!

Yeah man,the fancy stuff isn't for me,I can't get all the settings and stuff figured out,hahaI've been wanting to try my hand at a painting for awhile now,I need to get some supplies first,I must admit I have nothing yet...well,one brush,but a cheap one and old.I'm hoping to buy some painting supplies soon from the art store by my house,I checked last time I was there,and I didn't know where to really start,hahaI didn't know what canvas to get or anything

Alot of people have that problem of where to start with painting i'm happy to answer any of your questions,but i recommend reading books or research on google,it's hard when you first start out i remember when i first started airbrushing when i was 20 i didn't have a clue,but it slowly got better and i researched on the medium and learnt lots of trick through trial and error.

If you buy a canvas you buy stuff called "gesso" it is just acrylic to prime your canvas you apply 3 coats and your ready to paint.As far as brushes i'm not that fussy i just use whatever i can get as long as there not too cheap and crap,you can get good brushes for cheap prices.

Many thanks for all this great advice my friend,I will keep all of this mind for sureResearch is something I haven't done too much of yet,I really need to start doing that soon,watching some tutorials and stuff.I always loved airbrushing,the smoothness of everything,it looks so clean.A store here sells custom airbrushed t-shirts,they're always selling out of them quickly

i'm getting back into airbrushing,but when people say
"hey man should paint motorcycle tanks"that just really pisses me off,because airbrush has been around alot longer than than shit,but i like t-shirt airbrushing i went through a stage when i was doing t-shirts.

I have sold a few paintings" mostly gouache" but people never bought my airbrush canvases which i find weird.

That's crazy!I would think people would be jumping on top of the airbrush paintings!I like airbrushing,I saw an airbrushing machine at the arts and crafts store by my house,it looked pretty good,I was thinking about buying one soon.I just can't make up my mind what to jump into right now.I know I want to paint,some kind of painting,I'm considering airbrushing,acrylics or oils to paint with soon,but it's taking me awhile to get into it.

MrTristanOne In reply to HoustonTxArtist [2012-05-08 04:28:27 +0000 UTC]

sorry for the late reply i was on a holiday.

Some people don't consider airbrush a real medium,the airbrush has had to fight hard,some people still think airbrushing is fake.

I recommend you try gouache oneday it's defienately one of my favourite mediums,its water based it's opaque watercolour it's more like waterbased acrylic i reckon,i find oils way to messy and disgusting,acrylics are fantastic but take a while to get used too.

No problem man,I actually haven't had any spare time until just recently to even get on here.Man,I still think airbrushing is great,it's a real medium to me.And I like that the canvas can be almost anything,that's pretty coolI'll have to try that out,I actually tried my hand at a little painting a while ago,well,me and my girlfriend.It was pretty fun,they were acrylics,but I had a hard time getting used to it

i can give you a tip with with acrylics,you put colours next to other and blend then you can put a dark blue leave a small gap and put a light blue and and blend the two together might send you an example in muro drawing!

if you learn how to do three demensional spheres in acrylics your own your way,in art school we had to paint spheres to get the hang of acrylics!you blend colours together !

Yeah,that is a a good thing to fear,the neck is such a bad spot on humans,so open and too many veins,jugular and all that,plus the spine is there,I used to play basketball and football back in the day,no injuries thankfully.I hated playing wide receiver in football,I got wiped out a few times,blindsided,nasty hits.One time I got my neck hurt by some one tackling me,he hit elbow first strait to my neck,right below the jaw,ouch,it hurt,but not too bad,he hurt his elbow more than my neck,haha

yo that's too sick, playing for free! that saves you a lot of maney man, arcade games rip you off, and drain you wallets till they're dry! I also like the arcade games where you and a partner are in some mission, and you shoot at the screen with a gun, that's pretty cool too
