Latest art update: No art, but Keaalu has bought an airbrush.
(I've had an airbrush of a sort since I was... 11? caled a "Blitzer" - but it's basically a rubber bulb and a nozzle that you clip to a pen. :P They stopped making them for a long time, so I guarded mine like a jealous dragon. They've recently re-released them, but goodness they're hard work to use. :P)

Yay!

I didn't even know they made those things. Air-accelerated markers...

Does it actually work like an airbrush?

Yes, if you can keep at it when your hand feels like it's about to fall off. ;) It's probably not so smooth as a proper airbrush, and you have to colour in lots of small, short strokes as you don't have a continuous airflow (just a lot of little "puffs"), but you can get a nice effect with it.

I haven't tried the Letraset one, yet, as I haven't gone and got a can of air yet, but soon, preciousss, soooon...
