Description
Eighth and last in a series of airbrush art I used while seeking a technical illustrator/graphics artist job/jobs way back in the 20th century. This, along with several others, was done in the early 1950s, applied on art board, using a real airbrush with thin paints, attached to either a compressed air tank or to a motorized air compressor. I doubt if many of you were around back then to participate in or witness this art genre. The above was executed not only with an airbrush alone, but also using pen and ink, plastic templates and masks. A steady hand and a delicate touch is the name of the game.
Mankind does not live by computer alone.

I was sorry when you announced that this was the last in the series. This series was a revelation. You know, I always prefer zoomed over 'display' versions---but, in this style of art, one sees different things at almost every new resolution. The display version emphasizes the overall sheen more, whereas the full version shows the intense detail: The shading has wonderful grain, and the varied shades of gray are wonderfully complex. But beyond that, your mastery of shape---and shape crammed against shape---staggers me. No matter what methods you used, it's a long, tedious, meticulous process to get this precision. I used compasses, French curves, stencils, rules, etc etc---less elaborate than you, I'm sure. But I came nowhere near this precision. This is stunning, Harry. And your variation only intensifies the 3 beauties: It tones down the sheen and makes them more muted and richer in hue. Whereas the original has striking contrasts of blacks and white.
Consummate; a real revelation. I truly think this would be easier with pencil or pen; I knew a number of airbrush artists who did beautiful work. But they never did anything like these---not with an airbrush! Consummate work, concentration, eye, and results. They are truly beautiful, Harry.

WOW! You really did a great job with airbrush. Can´t imagine how its done, only a little, even though you describe the process. All I know about is stencils and masks. The rest is out of my imagination :) I am impressed.
