  • In this video I show you how I hold my airbrush to maximize comfort and detail efficiency when airbrushing for short or long periods of time.

    Yes! One wrap of the air hose around your wrist--this does two things. First, it helps prevent dragging your air hose across your work--especially when working on bike tanks and tins, and second, if you or anybody else happens to accidentally step on your air hose, your airbrush won't get yanked out of your hand and slammed into the hard floor. I see so few other airbrush artists on YT that do this one simple thing with their air hose--it can prevent some really bad accidents!

    This is my 3rd attempt to learn to airbrush and these videos have taught me WHY I got poor results the previous attempts. I'm feeling much more confident that this time I might finally "get it."

      It's taken me months to get going after various setbacks and rookie mistakes but finally starting to get there too!

    I use the grip you use on my iwata eclipse. It can not be used on the sotar 2020 because both the cup and trigger are closer to the front than they are even on the micron. There isnt enough space to put the finger the way you do.

    Could I ask your opinion on using your thumb to control the trigger? It does rotate your wrist, making aim more difficult, but it's much more comfortable to hold.
    I learnt that way from Zatcaskagoon Miniatures, and now I find it hard to go back to using my index finger.

      Whatever works best for you, my favorite artist of all time HR Giger has always used his thumb and his work never suffered from it 👍🏻

    Hey Carson, great video, just one question. Are you returning the trigger back to forward every time, or do you leave the trigger in the back position and let go of the air?

    I saw Dru doing it on his video when I ordered the short trigger. I have a iwata hp-sb. Just need to practice more that way. Question about the spring tension Do you do anything with it. Does it help to loosen it up or just leave it as is.

    • @AirbrushAsylum
      @AirbrushAsylum  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I do like the spring tension looser but it’s totally up to you 👍🏻

    Okay then we now know about the right hand, but you used two hands. Do you just use your left hand to stabiles, or do you also gauge your distance as well? I haven’t tried my airbrush yet, but from just holding it

    • @AirbrushAsylum
      @AirbrushAsylum  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you for your comment and yes I use my other hand from time to time to stabilize the airbrush and use it as a guide whenever possible , cheers hope that helps 👌🏻

    Ah, since I have extended triggers on my Olympos airbrushes (I use a hot glue gun) there's no possible way I can have my finger on the trigger like you do. That and the fact I've airbrushed for almost 40 years using the tip of my finger on my trigger only means there's no changing now. I've never had issues with fatigue unless I go long periods of not airbrushing and then go back to painting and over do it timewise. The main reason I have taller triggers is that I firmly believe (unlike Dru Blair) in the basic law of physics that says the longer the lever, the finer, better the control. And of course the airbrush trigger is nothing but a simple lever.

      I put a high roller trigger on my sotar and it made it harder to do super small lines. I have far more control with the stock trigger. This isnt the case with my eclipse though i have a pad glued to make it taller which works better. Some brushes work better with higher triggers and others do not.

    first off, you're holding it in the wrong hand.

    Your videos on fire are great, but damn... I can't get the hang of the flicks and turns the fire may make while moving upward. Something isn't clicking. Haha.

    Dru Blair would of taught you that way?

    • @AirbrushAsylum
      @AirbrushAsylum  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, he most certainly did 👍🏻

    Very helpful, I've just started airbrushing and was finding it quite a strain after a few minutes.

    You’re using 2 hands. You only explained one. That’s only 50% of a lesson by my calculation.
