Painting a Fursuit Head - Part 1

How to Airbrush a Tiger: Painting the Base Colour

This is about a half hours worth of work. I sped it up X2 and cut out about 10 minutes worth of unneeded video.

I mixed up and airbrushed the orange, then followed it up with brown. Then I took a rag and washed off the muzzle where I'd accidentally gotten paint on it.

The background music is from Final Fantasy X

Part two to follow when it's finished and uploaded.

[RazzyLeeFursuits]

I have a basic airbrush set with canned-air. I'm new to airbrushing with my fursuits and I've purchased Golden brand acrylic paints and Golden brand acrylic paint thinner for fabric airbrushing. are these the right things to use? Or should I do my airbrushing with Rit dyes instead of thinned paints?

@ ZooTycoon2witchdoc1 about 24 hours for me but u should use acrylic paint

[ZooTycoon2witchdoc1]

how long does fabric paint dry for?

[brnadycat25]

Yes he makes the head himself, on furhead makers do... and he airbrushed/spray paints it

[NetraToraken]

that could be a good way to make spots
