Tony Moore: Hi, I am Tony Moore with Fraser Street publications. Today we are showing you how to use an airbrush and in this segment, we are going to show you how to use spray patterns and shading.

First, press down on the trigger to get airflow, then pull back for paint and move from left to right. Hold your airbrush several inches from the page. Make nice, even strokes across the page. Turn in your body with your strokes.
