THE FRIENDLY PENTAX SPOTMATIC
This illustration was done around 1989. At that time graphic computers or Adobe Photoshop couldn't achieve this result in such quality. The tools used to coloring this illustration was the old Holbein japanese airbrush with the Winsor & Newton liquid acrylic and some brushes on Schoellershammer paper that resist to the technique applied.
The airbrush technique works almost like in Photoshop, it's necessary to build masks to isolate parts of the illustration to paint them separately one by one and cover them each time you paint onother one. In this case the mask is a thin adhesive film that must be attached on the paper covering all the drawing and cut all the parts of this drawings with a surgical knife or a thin X-Act as precise as possible. Well, unfortunately I don't have pictures from each step of that process. Later I'll find some to put here as an example. In Photoshop it's easy to do that working with Paths selecting them and painting each parts using a professional Wacom tablet.
By the way that was one of my favorite cam a long time ago.
