Oops! Looks like I spoke too soon (didn't read the rest of my messages
before responding to the original message). Anyway, it's not necessary to
go through this much effort for a realistic airbrush technique. CGL, Inc.
sells Images II, (a painting system) which has this and many other effects,
using a normal tablet/stylus. For example, you could randomly distribute
pixels at a given radius from stylus. You can even do blending with
neighboring pixels. While I'm not a graphics programmer, I know that it has
been done.
Cheers!
