Special Effects, Continued Increasing or decreasing distance between the airbrush and the paper surface Increasing or decreasing the distance between the airbrush and the surface of the paper affects the width and wetness of the spray pattern. Increasing distance between the airbrush and the paper surface will increase the spray pattern. It will also apply a lighter tone, which dries faster creating a fine barely discernable wisp of color. Decreasing the distance between the airbrush and paper surface lessens the spray pattern applying a heavier, wetter layer of paint that the air from the brush further disburses in spidery lines. This effect is called the centipede effect. Figure 6-31 illustrates the centipede effect resulting from the airbrush held closely to the paper surface. Figure 6-31.—The centipede effect.
