being the child of an illustrator who learned the craft and worked mostly before digital art became common means I have a looooot of knowledge about traditional illustration techniques that I may actually never use

#i just saw an incredible illustration that was 100% made using only an airbrush and masks #lots of advertisement illustrations in the 80s and 90s were mostly done using airbrushing and its one of my favorite techniques ever #I also appreciate old manga art using adhesive screentones. one of my favorite things ever #mom had a lot of old magazines about illustration techniques specifically for advertising and I loved playing with them as a kid #one of my favorite things to do was to cut pretty pics from magazines and paste them on notebooks #but I loved my mom's illustration techniques magazines that I never cut them I just loved looking at the pictures #(they were in german I cant remember the title of the magazine)
