Paint scheme test. Extoller Soulward.

So I have been practicing with the airbrush for a few months now. I am happy to say that I can almost mix paint to the proper cosistency and I think I have pre shading down. 

However everything after that is a travesty. 

I havent mastered taping off or using blue tac to cover areas, my colored layers are always too thick and I lose the effect of the pre shading. If I paint its mostly the same effect.

The gloss and wash approach is semi successful as either I am going too heavy on the wash or mixing my own wash with paint thinner is insufficient. I keep getting dried lines splotching around it.

On top of this my pallet is a bit thin, I have lost my skill in hghlighting by brush and my matt varnish is a far cry from Moana.

Pre shading and a few coats of white on her dress and it looks ok.

 However the white green and red look seems to be ok. The next step is to try it on some swordsmen and see if I cant get more work done with the air brush.
