Copic Airbrush System
I just bought my first Copic Airbrush System! I chose the ABS-1N, which includes everything I need to become an airbrushing pro…well, that and a little practice. Here’s what’s in the kit:
- Air Grip
- Air Adaptor
- Air Can 180 (40-45 minutes of air time)
- Air Hose
- Air Can Holder
I tried it today on a pretty image called Pure Prairie Bouquet by Marcella Hawley of Power Poppy. I used a digital image, which I sized to a fit on a 5″x5″ piece of cardstock (the finished card is 6″x6″). I then printed out two copies and sent one copy through my Silhouette Cameo to cut out a “mask.” A mask is an cut-out duplicate of the image you want to colour. I placed it directly over the image, and then used my airbrush to create a blue background.
Let’s Add a Special Effect
To create a special effect, I put a few drops of Copic Colorless Blender on the corner of an old facecloth and dabbed it over the airbrushed area.
Next, I removed the mask and coloured the image with my Copic markers.
Here’s how it turned out… I would love to hear your comments and creative suggestions.
