SORAYAMA: SECRETS REVEALED - Airbrush DVD

SORAYAMA: SECRETS REVEALED
This is an exceptionally rare and exclusive opportunity to witness the creation of a painting by Sorayama, one of the greatest living illustrators of our time, and perhaps in history. In this special step-by-step presentation, the legendary Sorayama guides you from sketch to completion revealing his secrets of painting along the way. As you watch this DVD it's important to note Sorayama's careful planning and composition of an image, his meticulous attention to the smallest details, his painstaking development of and continuous interaction with a painting, how he pays close attention to his reference, and his versatile use and array of mixed media. Sorayama approaches his paintings interactively. In other words, instead of simply executing a painting, he works methodically, allowing visual feedback to guide him as he progresses. He switches tools often as he gradually builds his surfaces, and he doesn't attempt to complete any one section in the first few passes, but rather starts light and gradually incorporates paint, ink, pencil, and airbrush until he's satisfied. World renowned illustrator Dru Blair is your guide throughout Sorayama's masterful rendering of an exotic pin-up. To see more of Sorayama's art, visit www.sorayama.net. In this DVD, you'll learn: • Use of technical pens, paintbrushes, airbrush, and a variety of pencils • Use of razor knives • How to transfer your image to an illustration board • Use of an Artograph opaque projector • Use of a compass • How to mix flesh-tones • How to build texture • How to render shading and half-tones • Use of acrylic colors • How to apply a wash • Blending techniques • How to use yourself as reference for an image • How to eliminate unwanted blemishes from a painting • Use of spray fixative • How to prevent your illustration board from warping • How to use electric and pencil erasers for highlights • How to accelerate drying between coats • How to achieve perfectly straight lines with a paintbrush • Use of frisket and masking And much more!

Good answer. lol A novice doesn't understand that techniques are used to create effects. Nothing is done entirely "freehand". That's impossible. Another analogy would be an automechanic rebuilding an engine without useing a wrench.

Then obviously you're pretty stupid since you didn't realize this is just a promo for the full-length training DVD with Sorayama, where his secrets to his work and masterpiece are revealed.

someone knows that types of sheets it uses?

[Atmosfferic]

For the benefit of all: I offer this for your consideration;- Where Artistry is concerned, Certain effects required,say skin tone; or cloth tone-,fabric tone-,leather,-plastic,-chrome­,-copper & so on, by the thousand,.can only be best achieved, with a variety of mediums..There is NO ONE ink,-paint -dye,or medium which can achieve all effects to perfection !! each has its place. So an intelligent ARTIST is at LIBERTY to use ALL the best tools-& mediums to get the BEST job done.!!.-UNDERSTOOD.?

[junkyskunk]

this is such a teaser..whats the point???

[rainmandv]

There is no cheating. Illustration is a business. The object is for it to look the best and time is money so any way of getting it done the most efficient way while looking great is the best route. I suspect the company that hires him would much rather see a flawless piece of work than something with overspray and perspective issues. It is no different than a photographer adjusting his work in Photoshop

sexy biatch!

nice job!

Yes, actually Sorayama is famous because his art is by brush (not airbrush). Airbrush is used in 1/4 tones and hi lite areas to smooth out strokes.

[bubwater]

Sorayama created his own paintbrush from a Kabuki theatre make up brush. He barely uses airbrush other than to smooth out the brush strokes from the highlight and 1/4 tonal range areas. Since he hand paints this hyper real images with inventive concepts into each image, he is considered the masters of masters by his peers.

Sorayama is the Master og airbrush. I have some of his books, and al his art is simply amazing.

[astrophysisman]

I own a sorayama - "See through pink dress"

His work is amazing - especially when you have the full sized piece!

I will be buying more and soon.

Keep up the fabulous work Hajime :)

There's many untouchable realists out there, but Sorayama still has the raw skill, talent, technique, AND MOST OF ALL...HE'S GOT ARGUABLY THE BEST SPEED OF ANY REALIST.

At the level he is now, If he were to spend an entire week on just a single rendering / painting?...Mannnn!!!

He's got the artistic talent to attract the realist-market, and he's got the speed & technique to keep up with the demand of that market!

Unless you're a better / faster artist yourself, you can't knock that.
