Study Notes

Precautions in Using Liquid Drawing Media

Opt for water-based markers for lower toxicity compared to alcohol-based or solvent-based markers.
Alcohol-based markers present less toxicity than aromatic solvent-based alternatives.
Utilize good ventilation, such as open windows, when using solvent-based inks and permanent markers to mitigate inhalation risks.
Body painting should exclusively use cosmetic-grade colors; avoid using markers or drawing inks directly on the skin.

Spray Form Drawing Media

Includes various media such as fixatives, retouching sprays, paint sprays, varnishes, and adhesive sprays, alongside airbrushes and aerosol spray cans.

Hazards of Spray Form Drawing Media

Spray mists pose significant inhalation hazards, containing harmful solvents and pigments.
Aerosol spray paints use flammable propellants like isobutane and propane, increasing fire risk.
Retouching sprays and spray varnishes also carry flammable propellants, solvents, and particulates.
Airbrushing emits a fine mist that is dangerous to inhale, particularly with solvent-based paints.
Spray guns can disperse larger paint quantities, representing a serious fire hazard when using solvent-based paints.
Both permanent and workable spray fixatives are highly toxic due to solvent content, presenting substantial inhalation risks.
Inhaling plastic particulates from sprays can be hazardous to health.
