Airbrushing

[Anonymous No.3837527]

I'm going to get an airbrush to do some fursuit work, but how do I get a pigment ready for painting onto faux fur with an airbrush?
Can't buy ready-to-go airbrush paint, I need a special pigment for what I'm doing.
I went to a local art store and asked them about a bottle of some airbrush stuff and they couldn't tell me.

Though should I even bother with airbrushing? I could just drybrush. But then the "how to make acrylic paint???" question still remains.

>fursuit work
Consider inhaling the fumes for better results.

Hello fellow Murry why don't you go on furtwitter and ask all the fursuit makers there

Use the same airbrush paint that’s used on T-shirt’s.

Last time I checked, /cgl/ had a fursuit general. I'd probably ask there if I were you, they'd be more helpful

I don't know about fursuits, but the internets say you want to add 1 part fabric medium (whatever the hell that is) to 2 parts acrylic paint. I don't know if it then needs to be heatset to become permanent, but my guess is yes. Perhaps a hairdryer could work. Will this be thin enough to pass through a larger airbrush nozzle? Maybe. You'll definitely want to keep the equipment clean between uses and pass the paint mixture through a strainer before spraying. Should you even bother? Probably. Imagine trying to drybrush on faux fur. It'll look like ass.

Neither of those are pigment

Nah, the mods remembered GR3 is a thing and banned that general for furry shit.

So try mixing your pigment into the acrylic fabric medium, dingdong. Jesus Christ.

While you'd think it's that simple, it really isn't.
Products are often poorly labelled, hence the difficulty at the local art store.

Spray a mixture of bleach, sulphur and rubber paint over desired areas
I have a cool stripe going down my mane so I'm recognisable

Products and materials processes aren't always well documented. This is what happens when you're trying to do something that few do. Testing materials and techniques for unusual applications is completely normal and expected. Testing really is that simple. You keep notes and change variables until something works. You go online and try to find information about materials available. There are no roadmaps for many things in art. Why are you being so obtuse and helpless? Anyway, good luck with your project.
