Cope's Reaper Cope from the AirbrushTECH message board had made a reaper drawn up by one of his employees and painted by him on a bike he had to do. He told everyone he could try it so of course I did. These are a few photos of how I painted my version of Cope's Reaper on a Jerzees X-Large T-Shirt. The grim reaper with scythe is freehanded using Createx Fabric paints and Paasche VL. This is how to airbrush a grim reaper on a t-shirt.

Airbrushes: Paasche VL #3 Media: Createx Airbrush Colors Surface Media: X-Large Jerzees T-Shirt Transfer Media: Soft Vine Charcoal Lighting: Florescent Original Sketch: By Cope Copeland and employess Opaque Projector: Artograph AG100

Step 1 I have used a soft vine charcoal to sketch out the grim reaper with scythe design from a print I have made of the reaper Cope posted. I begin airbrushing in the color usinf Createx Florescent Yellow. I build up the yellow bases with Createx Golden Yellow.	Step 2 I continue to build up my colors. I use Createx Florescent Blue to paick out my details. I use Createx Carribean Blue to continue building upon those details. I change to Createx Opaque White and fill in the details of the lightest areas such as the folds in the robe. I also build up the flames. the
Step 3 I use Createx Transparent Orange to build the skeleton and shadow the robes.	Step 4 I use Createx Florescent Violet to enrich the color of the reaper and to build shadowing. I use Createx Red Oxide Pure Pigments mixed with Extender also to begin building up the color in the scythe and increase the play of color and light on the subjects. I use Light brown to build up the wood color.
Step 5 I use light layering of Createx Transparents Phthalo Blue and Dark Blue to build up the blue in the design. I use Createx Transparent Dark Brown to build up the color of the reaper skeleton, scythe and the shadowing. I use Createx Beige to increase and level the color of the skin skeleton and scythe.	Step 6 I mix a Navy Blue Color of Createx Opaque Black and Dark Blue to use in the reaper's robes. I use Createx Transparent Violet to deepen and enrich the color of the robe.
Step 7 I use Createx Opaque Black to increase the darkness of certain deep shadow areas and for adding ambience. I finsh off with highlights of Createx Opaque White
