This is probably the only airbrush video tutorial that I've seen that covers the most crucial beginner tips like mixing and cleaning. Everyone else says buy expensive crap and waffles on for what feels like an eternity about air pressure and paint flow! NICE!!!
I've bent a few needle tips by not having the end cap on, I picked up a precision cap, which was £2 or £3 seconds n Amazon, it's a lot more open and less likely to have tip drying and blowing off lumps of paint like kryptonite, more importantly it still protects the needle tip especially when you put it into the wash jar, which is when I seem to bend them. That's why learning to polish and straighten needle points was a god send. Info I'm happy to share.
Yeyyy thanks to mentioning me! I appreciate! And the video is very important from everyone who wants to paint with airbrush, can't wait for the second part !😊👍
Agreed best vid I've seen on begginer airbrushing & I learned I was taking mine apart all wrong . I been pulling my needle out the bk, not had no trouble like that, thnks for the knowledge.
Very informative! Without the cone on top of the airbrush I find it much easier to make very thin lines. Although for painting larger surfaces this might not be that big of a deal. Also great tips on cleaning and backwashing.
you know sxummet that was sucha small video but the things iv learned from you over the past couple ofg weeks has been amazing and i really do mean that and im not just saying that u have learned me so much about painting that i would have never though off
Nice vid . Brent just so you know , when you showed your eclipse CS by iwata you talked about the needle being coated in machine oil . Thats incorrect as macnine oil would and will contaminate the paint over time . Resulting in what is known as fisheye in the paint . What is used is a silicon based lube . Also you mentioned seals and your correct in mentioning cheeper ones have poor seals . Example iwata use teflon coated seals which are solvent proof as there more designed for automotive muruals and fine artwork. Good exsamples of quality Air brushes are Iwata , harder and steenback Badger , devilbliss , Spraymax . Mr Hobby . I hope this helps anyone reading this with a good solid choice .Advice here woulde be to spend a little more on a quality brush than waste time and money on a cheeper brush as parts are harder to find and quite frankly Very poor quality , plus they leak air which is not good for the life of your compressor over time .
how loud is the air compresser? sense im looking to buy an airbrush but i live in an apartment that isnt vary big and got parents working in the room next to mine.
Thank you again for this video, it's exactly what I needed.. i owe you a pint... of something...i'm also really glad that you didn't knock that statue of the table. My heart skipped a beat when it moved.
this is really useful information, right now i have some nobrand airbrush from china , it works but its really bad, clogs all the time, its difficult to use so i need a new one, one question i got would be: what kind of a compressor should i get, are they universal so they work with all airbrushes, the connections i mean and also... what kind of needle / needles should i use? what size, i think right now i have a .2 or .3, its supposed to be for fingernails and cakes , thank you for all
One of the paints I am using, even thought it's an airbrush paint, likes to dry quickly in the cup of the airbrush. Adding cleaner (or water) 'to clean' and blowing it out just sprays solids chunks and clogged the brush on me. Recommend dumping the water out vs spraying it out. Yes, I learned that on my first day of using my airbrush :(
Do you have a ratio water to paint? I have vallejo flow improver as well but I just can't get anything to shoot out as smooth as you do in this video other than water.
Maybe your airbrush is blocked? I use about 60% paint 50% water roughly. But it’s no science. I just thin according to what I need so if I need a filter I’ll thin it to like 10paint / 90water or some paints are just thin enough so I’ll do the opposite for more opaque coverage.
@@Groundeffected Ah man the struggle. I cleaned out my airbrush, it always shoots water out fine. But paint wise it's always up and down for me. Tried doing more water than paint and it just does "splattering" and random bursts, try doing more paint than water and it's too thick so it's hard 😭 Love your work though appreciate the comment
No I don’t. I really should but space is really a premium for me at the moment. I plan to make a full paint booth one day. But when I can afford to aswell.
Between 15/20 psi roughly but I don’t really look too much I just go based of feel now. I will cover this though and actually look at the numbers when I do.

Yes! Been waiting for this one!
Thanks for coming, come again soon!
My Man! Thanks for making a video for us!!
how loud is the air compresser? sense im looking to buy an airbrush but i live in an apartment that isnt vary big and got parents working in the room next to mine.
Great vid mate maybe run thru pressures one day thats what really stumped me when i started
Yea. I quickly realised it was gonna take way more than one video to get this subject out.
Looking forward to the next airbrush video! Have you tried airbrushing inks?
Yup. And contrast paints too!! So much to cover with this subject though!
Thank you again for this video, it's exactly what I needed.. i owe you a pint... of something...i'm also really glad that you didn't knock that statue of the table. My heart skipped a beat when it moved.
Hahaha your heart…. I had to cut out the swearing because it was wasaaay too close
Awesome video as always. What size needle do you use for models like the Harley Quinn one you painted?
0.5 for almost everything
@@Groundeffected Thanks for the reply
Great video but can you please tell me where did you get the file for groot

even after using an airbrush for a year, still some super handy tips. thanks man!
Thanks dude. Looks like I need to expand This a bit more though.
Idiot here.... I appreciate the explanation. I also miss the "puff of love". Honestly your advice about the clean was really useful.
We are all idiots under the jelly fish god!

@@advanced6381 try increasing the pressure?
@@Groundeffected I have some amazon brand brush and compressor, max is 25 psi which I'm already at. Maybe I just have a bad brush
@@Groundeffected Do you use a .5 needle? I currently have a .3 on I believe
I've learnt so much from your videos. Thanks Dad
Words in the box 👌
I know the next thing I'm printing now 😆 been making do with using the cleaning pot but that stand looks pretty sturdy!
Link is in my description now for the exact one dude.
@@Groundeffected sweet! Thanks man 👍

Hello Nikki
when you are using your paintbrush, do you have a paintbooth or do you use a mask to protect yourself from the paint ?
No I don’t. I really should but space is really a premium for me at the moment. I plan to make a full paint booth one day. But when I can afford to aswell.
Thanks bro! Make a new video about! Is helping a lot!
Korg is into airbrushing stuff....right on! Ha Ha
Yo my man
Yo
A comment 😊
What's your pressure at when using your airbrush?
Between 15/20 psi roughly but I don’t really look too much I just go based of feel now. I will cover this though and actually look at the numbers when I do.
Which one of those airbrushes is mine?
Absolutely none
Great helpful video once again. ☺️👍
Thank pal. Glad you liked.
