Screw Head Set
Step 1
In order to create a screw head you will need the Screw Head stencil set and pro-color paint black and white.
Step 2
First, prepare your background. In this case, it is a metal looking structure. Pick a screw head from the stencil and position the circular shape in the desired location. Mix a dark shade of grey from black and white and spray evenly all over the circle.
Step 3
Here you can see the area in a dry state. The opacity of the white will make sure that none of the metal looking background will be shining through.
Step 4
Clean your airbrush and then fill it with pro-color white. Spray a contour edge on one half of the circle.
Step 5
For the next stencil element, position the screw's slot on top of the present spraying results. Spray the whole slot with black.
Step 6
Here you can see the intermediate results. The screw is almost done.
Step 7
In order to make it appear more realistic, add a shadow edge. For this, use the stencil foil's half circle and spray the area with black as well.
Step 8
For the last step, add a highlight with opaque white, and scrape off a really slim contour edge using a scalpel. Try the different screw heads and see just how easily and quickly you can create this effect
