[Disegnart]

Valentino è il mio idolo,bella esecuzione Complimenti!

Beautiful..;)

[Marietteeeee]

omg, this is awesome. You have a great talent. :D

[Rick258442]

Steve, I am an Automotive Photo Realist and here's me sayin' "Wow".

Yes, I can do what you do, but damn! Boy!

-Real artists stretch their own canvases!

I work mostly with brushes but use the air brush to achieve broad gradiations a brush can't accomplish.

Way to go, Man!

[TheStetsonRed]

wait so the last thing was the painting?! i couldnt even tell congrats to you

[TheStetsonRed]

You look like a thicker jo koy

[supr4rce]

Just wondering why you made your own canvas for this project?

[stevenunez]

@supr4rce I prefer to stock my own canvas and strips and make custom canvas to sizes I'd want- not presized as stores sell.

Thanks for the ?

[MADMARK00]

[cheeselover109]

i bowdown to youre epicnessness

[Cyanesence]

That's really really good, are you using acrylic paint in the airbrush? If you are do you mix it with thinners or water or just spray it out straight?

[stevenunez]

Thank you Cyan, I'm using acrylic thinned with water- that's about it.

[PZN2008]

real,real,real,you have a great talent,you can paint a photo like a photo,amazing.

[stevenunez]

Thank you- I try!

[2zezima2]

omg :O you arevery good :D

[stevenunez]

Thank you very much.

[glennvdn]

hello Steve,

This is so realistic! damn..

Which createx paint did you use for this one? classic or auto..?

because i have the classic but it is so messy, i have to clean alot after spraying but maybe it's the paint that's going bad..

Greetings from Brussels,

Thank you! Glenn.

[stevenunez]

Thank you- this was standard Createx not AutoAir. The standard Createx is a liquid acrylic paint that is super-high quality and has some additives for airbrush use- but it is very good for hand painting as well.

[CorNelRaMbo]

Amazing work it look's like a photo.

How mutch is a paint?

[stevenunez]

Thank you- this one is $1500

[65cancer]

[nwcdancer]

I love it! Omg

[stevenunez]

I wish I could freeehand something as technical as a bike drawing- this too was projected with an opaque projector- makes life allot easier.

[2MCHNV]

i love canvas art airbrushing hand painting etc... i found that photocopying the image onto clear plastic and projecting it is alot easyer then free hand scetching nice work nunez!!!!!!

[oldirty902]

Awesome, another canvas piece. What brands of paint did you use? The hand brushed pieces looked so opaque and clean.

[stevenunez]

I used Createx paint which is a liquid acrylic paint and a few tubed colors as well.

[slavkakerdova]

Really nice...

[AirbrushDGart]

nice work, what did u paint on the canvas, was it gesso or white paint?

[stevenunez]

That was gesso which I primed the canvas with, then sanded down for less tooth....about 3 coats are on this canvas.

[Thehiphopsolidier]

sooo cool

[lemmyr26]

fantastic....good job!!!

[paintedglyphs333]

Great piece Steve...you true mastery is how you nail the edge quality. What airbrush is that?

[stevenunez]

Thanks again, the airbrush is a Toricon-Hohmi Y1- which are great for fine detail.

[RAPTORBLUEFORCES]
