Airbrush Technique Issue 23 - (Page 22) 7. The top of the front Fender was done first in order to help insure the “Principles of Design”. Now do the sides and the broken away flares of fire and ignore the top as if it is not there. Note: One of the key principles in designing is to have a Dominant (large) object, a Subdominant (medium) object, and a Subordinate (small) object. On this front fender it has this concept and that is partly why it is appealing to the eye. Also the whole bike would need this concept as well. So if the front fender is my medium amount of fire, and the tank is my larger and bolder amount of fire, then on the rear fender the fire would be subtle or small or disappearing. 8. You can see how by ignoring the top fire helped create a nice overlapping and separation from the top. This gives the eyes more to view and a more pleasant view as well. 9. Now I add some of the hottest spots. Use Transparent white and go over it with Sun Gold. This is almost there. 10. Add the final highlights to the hottest spots of the fire and blend in just a bit with the Sun Gold. 11. At last it is cleared and ready to buff out. 12. Assembled on the Harley. I hope this tutorial helped give everyone some insight into rendering fire. Any questions feel free to ask away at www.AirbrushTechnique.com Thank you.
