Airbrush Step by Step | No. 77
How do you come up with your ideas for pictures? Do you feel an inner urge to paint a particular design, or do you always work from a client's brief? Do you have to search hard for inspiration, or does it just come to you? But even when you have an idea, it still has to be adapted to the two-dimensional constraints of the medium – the picture has to be "staged."
The artists featured in this issue have very different approaches: Brazilian artist André Grafia was inspired by the film "District 9" and emphasized the expression of his alien portrait using a rough sketching technique. Cover artist Ingo Körner has the privilege that, after more than 30 years of experience, his wolf design practically jump out of the airbrush and have been with him since he was three years old. Italian artist Daniela Frongia draws her ideas and motivation from her commitment to species conservation: the light shining on the tiger's face symbolizes the animal's hope and strength in the fight against the extinction of its species. And Filipino artist Midas Bayle Villanueva's great passion for tattooing and his admiration for the world's oldest tattoo artist, Apo Whang-Od, led him to his artwork – and even to the most remote mountain regions of the Philippines. With his canvas, he set off on a journey to visit his idol in her home village and show her his work in person.
