I've noticed on videos that when some of you experts use the airbrush that you quickly rock your finger backwards and forwards. Is this to build up colour gradually?

ahhh sorry, after reading title I thought I may be able to help hehe
Ummmm, do you not do fur or do you not finger your fur??I'm no expert but I think this to create small daggers and broken lines very quickly, at least what I do, usually handy for doing fur, which I don't do,![]()

When i'm airbrushing I hardly move my finger to be honest, unless i'm emptying the cup or going for heavy coverage I don't have to rock my finger back and forth on the trigger. Can you explain in a bit more detail what you saw and what the artist was doing at the time? This may help us explain better.
Wrong subject FezMaybe next time

I knew this was one thread I should have not open ,, now my gut hurts from laughing so much..
Mainly it is all in how you control your brush. Short dagger strokes you rock you finger , on some artist you can not even see their fingers move on others like Mitch you can actually see the finger movement.
When I do it , It is to build the paint in one area a little slower but have it dry just a bit before the next layer.
But that is just why I do it..
That explains it as he is using opaque / transparent mix. when I tried the free hand fire I noticed the paint built up quickly and within a fraction of a second was to thick and the air blew it and it spread. I shall try this and see if I have more control!
Are you kidding me I thought my last post was going to get me in trouble. You guys are bad.
Now on to the question at hand I don't move my TRIGGER finger to much. But I have noticed several ABers on youtube doing this I think it is just what you get use to doing. But as Mitch said in one of his vids you can use it when you are giving your work (the figure 8) style texture.
Hey we have to haze the new guys and it was your turn.. Get over it you are now in the elite group call family...
Something you just can not really pick up on watching a video , But sometimes you see enough to ask question to put you on the path you seek.
Notice I am really trying hard not to hijack this thread mainly because you have a good question ,,,
1.22 in that's minutes and seconds madbrush not depth!
