Cones
Cones are less easy to airbrush for they require some judgment in the shape
of irregular forms. When airbrushing cones, work from light to dark.
To airbrush cones:
Step
Action
1
Draw a dark outline of a cone.
2
Place a frisket over the drawing and remove the area to be painted.
3
Apply a light tone to the left and right side of the cone extending
slightly along the base.
4
Using the same tone. Paint triangular shapes on each side of the
cone from the apex to the base slightly in from the frisket. A raised
mask will soften the edges of the paint.
5
Apply a darker tone on each side overlapping the frisket.
6
Use a raised mask and apply a dark tone to the center of the light-
toned triangular shapes.
7
Once dry, remove the frisket.
8
Clean up the drawing, touch up by hand with a paint brush.
