Default Copic Air Brushing Samples?

I've done the basic masking of an image and spraying for the sky, spraying shading around the edges of a layer and an envelope, and die-cutting a snowflake to use the throw-away part for a stencil. Anybody have or can direct me to some other inspiration samples for this tool? Someone has a video of air brushing a beautiful sky over a lake. I loved that and would like to see more finished samples involving color blending by air brush. Perhaps I've seen some and just assumed they were done by sponging.

Wow! I can't believe this thread is so quiet! There are a lot of Copic marker users on this board. Maybe people don't use the airbrush system. I personally thought that was really the coolest thing about them! I hope you get some responses.

Hi, first post ever...I use my copic airbrush system (CAS) for everything. I stamp images and then freehand airbrush them using a scrap piece of card stock to mask off anything I don't want overspray on. (I like how the overspray looks sometimes though). I go through alot of air playing, I think it's time for an air compressor.

Happy New Year!

May I recommend you to visit Marianne's blog? She did a bunch of explanations regarding airbrushing on the month of October. HTH!:mrgreen:

I have a couple of videos on the airbrush system.
This is the one where I airbrushed the sunset sky:

And here I show using my airbrush tool for coloring embellishments:
http://sherrie-cardcreme.blogspot.co.../tutorial.html

Other coloring videos on my blog too...you can find them on my sidebar. I started with the aircans but quickly moved to a compressor system since I am constantly coloring flowers and backgrounds to match my projects.

That's the neat tutorial I mentioned in the original post for blending a beautiful sky. That probably had a lot to do with my getting the airbrush system. It's all your fault!:-D

Seriously, though, I do like having the system. I went with the compressor to begin with, because I didn't want to be tempted to skimp on using air cans to make the dang things last. I have the compressor on a cart near my feet and can easily hit the switch to operate it. The compressor, heat gun, and table lights are all plugged into the same power strip, which gets turned off whenever I finish stamping...little chance of a mishap. I just wish I would come up with more opportunities to use it.

I have another question for those who have been airbrushing for awhile. I would think that with some images you could airbrush the sky before stamping the image and bothering with masking. The sky might be so pale, while something like a dark leafy tree stamped and colored over it would look pretty much the same regardless of the pale blue beneath it. (Since most of my projects are onesies, I am not a great fan of cutting out masks.)
