How to Airbrush the Outline of a Face

Video Transcript

"Hi welcome to my studio. My name is Lars Erik Robinson with LarsEr Arts All Around Art-Tainment. As you can see right here I've been started on a face here and I've been airbrushing all by freehand. And we're going to just go ahead and show you how to finalize it, and actually do the outline of a face. And we call this one how to do an outline of a face. So we'll start with here, we're going all on the outside of it. We'll go ahead and take the cheeks and just blend it out here on the cheeks. Start your line and blend it out right there, to get those cheek bones. Then you get the ears. The ears you don't want to overdo sometimes, you just want to take the top part of it and the inside of it. Top part, inside of it. That's this top lid here and the inside here. The hair, this guy has a lot of curl, very curly hair. It goes like that. My, my problem is I do a lot of caricatures and I can tend to overdo my outline but you have to realize that it could be other colors here with the lights hitting it. If the light's hitting for example see here I had outline on this side, everybody knows there's an outline too but if the light is hitting from this side you don't necessarily want it overdo it and have that line there. So we're just going to try to create that shadow with this, with this black by just dusting it on there. Right underneath the chin we obviously have a really dark line. There you go, that's how to do the outside, outside of the face on finishing a piece up. This could be continued more, you could add more color to it but it gives explanation on how to do it. Thank you for joining me, I'm Lars Robinson. Have a good day."
