Airbrush Step by Step | No. 78
When we launched AIRBRUSH STEP BY STEP in 2006, we often said,
“Well, we're definitely not going to do this for 20 years.” And lo and
behold, here we are: 100 German issues, 78 English issues and almost
20 years later. In fact, there was already an anniversary to celebrate in
2025: 10 years of International Airbrush Days.
The airbrush workshop event took place for the first time in 2015, setting new standards with its conference concept and inspiring imitators
worldwide. So, three anniversaries that we have combined in this issue: The issue is all about INTERNATIONAL AIRBRUSH DAYS 2026. All six “headliners” are already giving an insight into their work before you can
watch them live in Hamburg from May 1-3.
Rodrick Fuchs designed the impressive cover artwork and shows in his step-by-step tutorial how he is giving his mythical creatures his very own style and character.
Scott MacKay is not only an airbrush professional, but also an expert in digital template design and stencil production. He is explaining this in his
tutorial “Joker's Wild.” Melina Wuggonig from Austria is a top newcomer
in photorealism and is demonstrating her beginner-friendly technique
using a lynx portrait.
With David Naylor and Anzhela Dmytrenko, we have two outstanding
freehand experts on board: Anzhela creates entire fantasy worlds with
her curly airbrush strokes, and David seeks out challenges in the smallest details – whether in coin-sized quick portraits or highly detailed
illustrations. Both are talking about their techniques and ideas in interviews.
Tips and tricks are provided by none other than Marissa Oosterlee,
one of the best-known and most successful photorealists in the
airbrush world. She sells her works worldwide in galleries and to private
collectors, and is totally down-to-earth and open in her workshops.
That's why she makes no secret of her success and shares important
tips for an artist's career.
