AIRBRUSHING TORN METAL ANT BIKE
PART THREE
PART THREE
Here in this How To Airbrush article Lee will put the finishing touches on his Ant Bike.
Now I come in with high lights and I do this with white. I kind of just stipple in the high lights and hairs; hours and hours of dots and dagger practice are being put to use here.
After the high lights are done I dust a bit of transparent yellow over top the high lights and come back in with even tighter high lights until I'm satisfied wit appearance.
Time for color!I start with a thinly reduced yellow and go over some of the high points of the ant and blend where needed. Next I come in with a over reduced transparent orange and come in around the yellow and blend. I also come in with a transparent copper that I added a couple drops of black to and several drops of purple to blend with the orange and also start to define some of the darker knooks and crannies, shadow shading and also to give it a bit of roundness.

Now come my favorite part...the eyes! With this I'm going to be using some materials left over from a previous project green to gold pearl prism paint and some honeycomb cloth material I found at a fabric store.
I make sure the eyes are nice and black so the pearl shows up real well. I then position the cloth over the eye and spray from the middle out leaving the edge of the eye a little dark so it gives a roundness to the eye.
You dont need much of the pearl, very dramatic over black. I give a few white hilites on the eye to give it a glossy kind a look.I also fill in in and around the ants head with the same texture as the eyes. Very cool look and looks really cool under clear.

Now that the illustration is done now I can start to unmask the tears just the tears not the whole tank. Here I start to define the tears edges a bit more and redefine high lights and some of the darker tones.
Now I take the rest of the masking off to expose the rest or the outside edge of the tears. Here I'll add a few high lights glows the extend past the tear edges to give it a little depth.
Then I clean the whole thing with water based wax/grease remover to clean also any over spray that may be lingering on the surface of the tank.That is pretty much it and also here is a the finished rear fender done in the same process minus the green to gold pearl.
Hope this was helpful to anybody and thanks for lettin' me share! DIAZ
