Illustrations are typically commercial and designed for eventual reproduction. These artistic renderings are often done on illustration board, paper or similar substrates, most likely using thin paint, inks or dyes.
An illustrator like Michael Cacy uses the
CM-B or
CM-SB for the finest detail work since they perform well at extremely low air pressures.
The
CM-C,
HP-BP and
HP-SBP can be used for detail and general rendering purposes, while the
HP-CP is good for some detail and background coverage.
These models are all good for working on small- to medium-sized work, which is typical for illustration.
Professional illustrators often rely on powerful, yet silent compressors with air-storage tanks for consistent and uninterrupted airflow like the
