It was my first “Big” Job as they say.
I didn’t “learn it anywhere I can just “Do it” I seem to be able to build up the shadows, tones an colours by airbrush. I find you can actually see whats happening as you do it if that makes any sense to you.
I have discovered since (!!!) that I was using an airbrush that was too fine for the paints that I was using. A devillblis Super 63.
Limited knowledge at that time ya see.

Rectified that now and I didn’t buy any in Britain niether (well one secondhand one which turned out more expensive than the new ones that I bought).

Got two from the good old US of A (which delivered no import taxes etc marked as a gift!! were half the price in this country.
A Paasche VL and a Mellenium)

Another two I bought came from Kowloon brand new straight from the factory Iwata HP C and HP B creme dela creme apparently though I haven’t used them yet with delivery (Four days guaranteed and traceable) with import duty (£30 SPN) came to just under 2/3 of the UK prices.

Another secondhand one came from New York fraction of the cost just under £70 (SPN) didn’t expect to win it delivered.

PS SPN = Scottish Pound Note.

Friend knocking at the door while I’m about to have dinner (soup)
He’s lookin for some.
“Do you like second days soup” I say
“Yes” He replied
“Well” I said “Come back tomorrow then”
