Default Copic airbrush system questions

Hi,

When you use the airbrush to you go through alot of ink?

Is the learning curve large?

Thanks,
Katie

Hi Katie,
I haven't found a huge learning curve. I guess it depends on what you are coloring with how much ink you go through.
I find the airbrush system an AWESOME tool for coloring sky, it gives that soft airy look! I love it with the heidi swapp masks too!

I have been wanting to get the airbrush system, too. I worry about it being too expensive, though. Do you just use the copic can systems or do you have an actual air compressor? How much does an air compressor run?

I found that you don't necessarily use a lot of ink, but your makers have to be juicy. So I bought refills to fill them up. I did a video showing how to use the Airbrush and how to refill your Copics here:
