This tutorial doesn't go into detail about how to mix the actual colors but does tell you what colors you'll need.
The important things to take away from this video are:
- Whenever color mixing in airbrushing - the golden rule for a vibrant color finish is never to mix black & white in the same color! This dirties the color making it appear muddy, dull and lack depth.
- Build color artworks with opaque colors and only use transparents to shift these colors or brighten them.
- Only paint a darker color, when it has 100% of it's child color underneath (Skin tone is the child of mid tone which is the child of shadow tone).
- Generally for full color artworks you'll want to work in 3's as a minimum - this means using a base-tone, mid-tone and shadow-tone for different parts of an artwork. For example a typical portrait will have 9 colors: 3 for the skin, 3 for the hair, 3 for the lips. However, these rules can easily be broken when using transparents to shift colors and heavily depend on the colors of the artwork you're painting.
