Copic Airbrush question
 

No, I'm not posting original art here, but I thought this would be the best place to ask -

Does anyone have any experience with the Copic Airbrush? It looks too funky to actually work, but if it DOES work well, it would be sweet!

So, do these things work, or what? Thanks!

Looks just like a normal airbrush to me mate except the setup is a little different.. where as the ink comes from a pen and the air from the bottle underneath.. O_o

I think I used to have something like this as a kid.. cept it was a little blow bottle that you squeezed.. hehe..

Might just have to wait for some useful advice Clavus :)

I don't have any first hand experience with these, but after reading this thread last week, I decided to find out what I could about it.

All I've found out so far is that it must work at least a little, because they carry them at the art store I frequent here in town, and if it was a useless toy, I doubt that they'd have it there.

Anything past that, I don't know.

Hope this helps a little.

I've been searching too. I have yet to find anyone who actually used one. It leads me to believe it just might suck.

it kinda looks like a blo pen with an air can

aircans are the most expensive way to airbrush outside of the very infrequent user.

as far as i can see its a single action trigger, so only airflow, which isn't suprising given the medium

I guess if you wanted to do a style of drawing that was similar to using a marker pen with a little more control it'd be good

But if you wanted to really get into airbrushing, you'd outgrow it very quickly

all i know is that copic markers are the shit, and if you ever get the chance to pick them up, do it.
