Thank you Ryan for taking the time to respond. I had looked at hundreds of pics, but 'screaming skull' was the answer. Keep working on that 3d skull, as I would be one of the first to buy one from you. Thanks again. You are a true inspiration.
I found the skull on google images by searching 'screaming skull'. I'm just starting to airbrush and I LOVE your videos! Thanks for taking the time to help us all out by sharing your skills.
I'm doing as much research as possible before buying my first airbrush, this has been the most helpful video i have found on shadowing technique, and how to properly layer , great work
You make it look so easy. I have played with a brush and even after twenty years of practice I don't think I could even start one of your works of art.
Dude, you are a great airbrush artist. I love your technique and your manerisms. Choice workmanship. Keep the vids coming. I am new to this, but I have already learned so much from everyone.
I have just recently picked up air brushing myself, I spoke with a lot of people before spending a fair amount of money on a brush. I was told badger makes great brushes. I have the badger patriot and although i am not great at airbrushing as far as art is concerned, the brush responds very well and creates clean lines and solid shadowing. hope this helps.
been searching the net trying to find good advice on skull painting, your top of the list loads of stuff i never thought about . Especially using the outer part to define the edge of the skull. Thanx
You might consider what people use as a stability technique when shooting handguns. The hand that holds the grip (which would be your right hand) pushes away from you, the off hand pulls it back towards you. This push and pull really helps to keep a steady hand. Competitive shooters use this technique. Might be worth a try, hope it works for you.
Ryan, you redefine 'bad to the bone!' It's people like you that make the rest of us feel even worse about ourselves ;) No matter what you show us, we could never do anything close to you. You understand light and shadows to a level we could never imagine. You are a true genius. How long have you been doing this, and I don't recall what paint you use? Thanks again you sick and talented artist!
Thanks Ryan. I checked out a couple handfuls of your vids and a ton of other guys' stuff as well. I probably jumped the gun with my question. I am still curious about using automotive urethane. I hear its a very nice paint to use in the airbrush. After a few weeks of practice with the createx, I'll get out some of my urethane "leftovers" and give them a shot in the airbrush. Thanks for taking the time to post up vids to help us beginners out. I really appreciate it.
Great work man...I also reduce the paint a lot more than the instructions written.And hell i hate my hands shaking like a women's toy :D Thanks for the tips and keep doing such good things
Wow dude, every time I think it looked "good enough", you added something to make it better. Truly talented man! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. Anyone who hit "dislike" is a moron BTW.
WOW!!! New to airbrushing and loved all the tips you gave!! Im going to start with a basic skull and see what i can do with it and then move on to using your style once i feel comfortable with the (air) gun in my hand....thanks again! AWESOME!!!
nice video i just got into airbrushing and found this video very helpful, i have a master g23 and an iwata eclipse and am looking forward to hopefully become as good as you and some of the other pros i have seen on you tube, so once again thanks and your work is excellent.
nice work I am a beginer with a airbrush any detailed videos like this on is a big help been painting cars for over 20 years just started messing around with the air brush got a link to where I can get the HOK airbrush paints with out having to buy it by the QT thanks make more videos bud
There are lots of $30 dollar Chinese airbrushes on ebay that will give you just as good results as long as you get your head around the techniques, it's the air source that will cost you the most because you'll need a compressor with receiver tank to get constant pressure not pulsing.
Jksiewert, I'm speaking for myself about the talon, it is not a very well constructed brush. I had the trigger pull out of the socket while airbrushing and idk how it can happen. It is heavy and feels clumbsy. If you don't have money for an iwata, the badger renegade isn't a bad brush. I think it's like $99 or so at coast airbrush. But I've been able to get lines almost as thin as a micron. So that's my two cents. Also, you get what you pay for.
Nice work. I've always wondered how artists blended colors in smoke and fire. Now I know.... kandy apple. Thanks. How tough are the paints? I want to airbrush a rifle stock, & it must be with flat paints & fairly tough.
Nicely done. You explained it well enough for me anyway and the video was also good...I could hear you unlike some videos I have watched of others. Also you kept the background noise down and music at the right levels. The fine detail work can be done with a brush instead of the micro gun correct? I know it want look the same but I'm just trying to keep start up cost down.
just starting out. any advice on things to practice? I mean after dots and lines. guessing shadowing is the most difficult after those. great video. I'd like to see a little closer to the skull when shadowing in layers...thanks.
Great Vid!! Found the pic on Google images, Stencilled it and had a go. I REALLY need to get a half decent airbrush and a LOT more practice. Cant wait for your next one . Keep it up for all us noobs and the rest 10/10
Ryan i already figured it out. Tech Support misled me to think that the regulator regulated the pressure of my air tank but really it regulates whats leaving and going to the airbrush ;) and thats what i was wondering? TIME TO DO SOME SERIOUS AIRBUSHING NOW IM SO EXCITED!!!!!!! Love your vids you motivate me big time so Thank You :)
okay this is bad ass! i jut got my first airbrushing kit for christmas, can you give me some tips to start? or can you make a video for beginners? thank you so much!
Nice work Ryan! So you used 2 different airbrushes? I'm using just a an HP-C Plus and struggling with fine detail. What's the tip size on the micron? Do you find it makes that much of a difference? I'm thinking I need to invest in a second airbrush. Keep up the good work! Jerry
NICE!! I love this video. How long have you been doing this, you are awesome. I am still in my first year and getting better. Keep the videos coming man and keep up the good work. Thanks
im looking to switch colours, without needing to use up all the paint in the cup before washing it through with water and pouring a new colour..... any advice on which airbrush will let me disconnect quickly and switch to containers holding different colours.
I have noticed a home made stencil from the internet looks way better than a store bought stencil. We did helmets with skulls and the best looking skull was home made.
wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! When you've finished the artwork, what type and how many layers of transparent gloss paint/finsher did you use?? I don't think that I'll ever try something like this (I'll stick with illustration for me) but it's interesting to know just in case!
Nice video bro it helped me alot... what airbrush do you recomend because i have a 20 dollar one and it keeps cluggin up even tho i reduce the paint.it looks like a good airbrush gun but i know theres better ones like the one u use.. im using the auto paint ...and what do u use to reduce the air on the little compressor
@BerserkCustomPaint Just got the step up in airbrush and will upload a pic or short vid of both first &2nd attempt. I thought a brush was a brush. WOW was I wrong. Its amazing the difference to detail level that a half decent brush can make even for a newbie like me!
Ryan, I am new to airbrushing and am having problems with my paint splattering, is it my air pressure, or my paint reduction, or both? Thanks for your time.
Just read through comments... Looks like you use urethane basecoat for paint. Is the way to get "transparent" colors simply by over reducing? Thanks for the vid man, great work.
gret work!!!! just a shot in the dark but would you happen to know where you found that image of the skull. i have searched for a month and only found it on a t shirt and it was all distorted. wuold love to use that image on a piece of mine. understand if you dont its been a while. any way tank turned out amazing!! i have watched it 20 times or more!!! thanks.
hey ryan love the artwork!! I had a question, I am looking to buy my 2nd airbrush. I dont have the money for an iwata but was wondering what you though about the paasche talon? I am kind of between that and the badger patriot. any info you have is GREATLY appreciated!! thank you for the awesome videos, you are an inspiration!!

I have been seeing this video for 2 years it's still the best airbrush video out there you learn the more we watch it every time

Definitely one of the best skull tuts on here. Great job
Excellent job Ryan.You explain every thing very well.
Looks awesome!
Great stuff. I just bought my first rig from Craig's List and am watching everything I can and this is a top 10 video all day long.
Ryan, you redefine 'bad to the bone!' It's people like you that make the rest of us feel even worse about ourselves ;) No matter what you show us, we could never do anything close to you.

absolutely love your detail work.....nice job on bringing out the highlights and shadows....well done!
Very nice! I appreciate you taking time to teach the rest of us how to try to be as good as you. You are very talented
making something that detailed takes great talent and time...
Nice, would have liked to seen you tape the entire skull and post multiple videos. Amazing job!
Hi Ryan. I just start airbrushing and I follow all your videos. I learn a lot from you. THANK YOU SO MUCH and God Bless you buddy.
Thanks Ryan. I checked out a couple handfuls of your vids and a ton of other guys' stuff as well. I probably jumped the gun with my question. I am still curious about using automotive urethane.

Such a talented guy. If you've just viewed this, you are lucky
WOW!!! New to airbrushing and loved all the tips you gave!! Im going to start with a basic skull and see what i can do with it and then move on to using your style once i feel comfortable with the (air) gun in my hand....thanks again! AWESOME!!!

Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing ! Hope to see more of this in the future.
wow man thats a work of art not just a paint job honestly im a noob hope i get to that calibur some day 10/10
There are lots of $30 dollar Chinese airbrushes on ebay that will give you just as good results as long as you get your head around the techniques, it's the air source that will cost you the most because you'll need a compressor with receiver tank to get constant pressure not pulsing.
This is great, Its like burning and dodging with an enlarger! Great work!
your awesome im 58 yrs old and im starting to airbrush too lots of fun!
You are one talented dude!
Fantastic art!

please continue with the videos. you do amazing work!
Very clearly explained - thanks - great artwork!
great video not confusing at all and very helpful.
Ryan! good work. Am a airbrush artist too. But I never worked with kandy colors yet.
Amazing and good to see someone actually teach their techniqes
Nice work. I've always wondered how artists blended colors in smoke and fire. Now I know.... kandy apple. Thanks.
How tough are the paints? I want to airbrush a rifle stock, & it must be with flat paints & fairly tough.

You've got some mad skills man!!!
it is the paint drying on the tip of your needle. try reducing the paint a little more and see what happens.
only one word describes this, BADAZZ ! Well done Brother
Sick ass paint. Great work
Sick work, bro! Is there a full-length video of this available for purchase?
Great Vid!! Found the pic on Google images, Stencilled it and had a go. I REALLY need to get a half decent airbrush and a LOT more practice.
Cant wait for your next one . Keep it up for all us noobs and the rest 10/10

Jerry
That came out sick.
I wanted to ask do you have a CD/DVD instructional video. I am a beginner and about to start. I really like your work. Let me know.
NICE!! I love this video. How long have you been doing this, you are awesome. I am still in my first year and getting better. Keep the videos coming man and keep up the good work. Thanks
Great vid! I totally agree with the shaky hands thing! I have it a little bit of that too...Just wondering if you are using AA?
im looking to switch colours, without needing to use up all the paint in the cup before washing it through with water and pouring a new colour..... any advice on which airbrush will let me disconnect quickly and switch to containers holding different colours.
Love watchin you work dude, real simple advice and awesome artwork at the end. :)
sick music and a badass tallent.
I am new to air brushing I take it you allow the paint to dry between coats and high lights. Please let me know if this is true.
What type of compressor do you use and what PSI do you run? Awsome painting man, ur a true artist!!
now that was a very cool piece of art dude,tell me do you put clear on before you add the candy's or different color
that was nice work, how long did it take you to be able to paint with the air brush like that?. And what brand of brush is it that you use?
I have noticed a home made stencil from the internet looks way better than a store bought stencil. We did helmets with skulls and the best looking skull was home made.
Nice! Good job on that tank, mate!!
Came out excellent !
Thanks for the great videos. Very inspiring artistically.
wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! When you've finished the artwork, what type and how many layers of transparent gloss paint/finsher did you use?? I don't think that I'll ever try something like this (I'll stick with illustration for me) but it's interesting to know just in case!
Wow. Great work my friend, a true blessing.
this is a great video, im just starting out airbrushing and i have shakey hands thanks for the advice.
are you still airbrushing
post up some more videos please great work
Can you make a video showing how you made these flames and how you added the little skull into the flames also? I never seen flames like these!!! :)
Nice video bro it helped me alot... what airbrush do you recomend because i have a 20 dollar one and it keeps cluggin up even tho i reduce the paint.it looks like a good airbrush gun but i know theres better ones like the one u use.. im using the auto paint ...and what do u use to reduce the air on the little compressor
@BerserkCustomPaint Just got the step up in airbrush and will upload a pic or short vid of both first &2nd attempt. I thought a brush was a brush. WOW was I wrong. Its amazing the difference to detail level that a half decent brush can make even for a newbie like me!
Great video, I've been airbrushing for a while and I am interested in maybe taking some class. Do you ever teach or have group classes?
You sir, are awesome!
bad ass.. got a guestion ..do u need to reduce the tangrine orange ?
Ryan, I am new to airbrushing and am having problems with my paint splattering, is it my air pressure, or my paint reduction, or both? Thanks for your time.
Just read through comments... Looks like you use urethane basecoat for paint. Is the way to get "transparent" colors simply by over reducing? Thanks for the vid man, great work.

I always airbrushed with water based or latex based paints. Is there something different with the nozzles or components for airbrushing urethane?
dude that looks awesome
What type of paint should I use to practice airbrushing with?
excente work, liked the tips, but I wonder what muisica is this and that band, the music at the beginning of the video, grateful
Do you use the same airbrush for the whole piece? If so, do u have to wash it out everytime you switch to a new color?
Great tut. Spent days looking for picture on the web with no luck. Anyone have a link? Thanks.
That looks good! I learned alot in that short video.
hey ryan love the artwork!! I had a question, I am looking to buy my 2nd airbrush. I dont have the money for an iwata but was wondering what you though about the paasche talon? I am kind of between that and the badger patriot. any info you have is GREATLY appreciated!! thank you for the awesome videos, you are an inspiration!!
