CABLE

The dramatic skin texture of the cyborg Cable from the film „Deadpool 2“ was the decisive factor for the German artist Benjamin Zikoll in choosing it as a portrait project. Other important elements in this portrait are sharpness-contrast, hair structure, color saturation, color transitions and layering. In his step-by-step guide, he explains the simple means by which these challenges can be mastered.

Benjamin Zikoll was born in Cologne, Germany, in 1976 and has lived in the city of Leverkusen for 27 years. He has been painting and drawing since childhood. He first came into contact with the medium of airbrushing when he attended the master school for painters and varnishers at the Cologne Chamber of Crafts in 2002. Enthusiastic about this technique, he attended the IBKK art school in Bochum for six and a half semesters. After successfully graduating, he attended the master school for another six months under the direction of Roland Kuck. As he was moving in the direction of realism and photorealism, he worked as a lecturer at the Cologne Chamber of Crafts in 2004, teaching airbrushing, among other things. Since then, he has continued to develop his skills and knowledge. www.zikoll-art.de
