    I’m just starting on my airbrush journey, this is insanely helpful. I did have 1 question about the last step of doing the freckles. Are you just using a flesh wash? And how are you getting the speckled look from the airbrush? I can only make mine do that when I don’t want it to

    So when you say spray a little bit of alcohol on your 3D print that you have mostly acrylic paint on do you mean like "haha I got you. You stupid newbie, of course don't ever spray alcohol on it"? I discovered this video a little over a month ago and I don't know how many prints I've just straight ruined because I'm taking this advice. I seal it with every layer and still, it's alcohol. Don't spray the paint or the clear coats with alcohol. It will ruin your piece.

      I mean I sprayed alcohol on mine in the video for you to see not only that but I also use it as thinner for white ink too. And I use 99% iso too so it’s not even the weak stuff.

    Am I the only one who thought the head he was painting belonged to a dude?
