Airbrush Quick Tips : Creating Fine Lines 

Here’s another more recent Line tutorial 😉 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bjIbpJJxSMs.html

I forgot to add that I really appreciate how you help people with airbrushing I taught for about 15 years and I use plenty of the same techniques you do and I really really like Drew Blair he's part of the reason I got into airbrushing and I wanted to learn how to do that realism and I work very hard at it for a lot of years I don't wear brush as much today as I used to but I still do airbrush I do traditional painting and graphite art and all that kind of stuff

I am very thankful for you and all of you who instruct us RU-vidrs God bless you

im not new to spay painting but i am new to airbrushing and fine detail your video is very helpful i have a iwata neo 0.3mm needle and now i understand better with you using your hand as a rest thanks for sharing

You're really good at what you do. You said so e illifting words to me when my twin passed. So I clicked on your face and I ended up here

Man U have some serious skill buddy.and I just recently got into airbrushing in last month or so and I’ve fell in love with it, I am no where near good yet but I’m learning. And your vids have helped a lot and I have searched RU-vid for tutorials and urs are by far the best! I used to oil paint and have done a lot of rattle can spray painting. And love to draw and I was intimidated of airbrushing bc I hate sucking at anything and I knew I would suck for a while. But practice makes perfect and your vids have helped me tremendously so thanks again

All your vids are so helpfull and very nice to watch. It looks so easy seeing you airbrushing. You’re a true artist and I like everything you make. Thanks a lot. 👌👍

Thank you so much for making this video! I just started airbrushing and this has turned out to be so helpful!!

ill say it again your a very good teacher

this video is the best i've ever seen for a beginner and also for someone who practice airbrush since a few years !!! thank's !!! we have to find the good mix paint/reducer and this mix/pressure Ithink that 's the real problem to succes ... and TALENT of course ! GREAT, ESSENTIAL !!!!

Thank you for this - taught me like 3 things about my HP CS that I didn't know. Appreciate it!

Iv just started airbrushing , still at the practice stage , still trying to get comfortable holding and using the brush 😀

Excellent presentation. Very clear and all usable information. Thanks!

Well done.

Thank you.. Very helpful for the beginners..🤝

Nice vid. Helped tons.

Yesterday i watched a film about fitting a 0.5 needdle nozzle and Cap after removing the existing 0.3 needle and nozzle as the threads are different thats the reason for also changing the nozzle cap. The video is one of many put out for years by two well known English contributors. Besides using the more expensive airbrushes they became big fans of the Veda brushes and as they wanted the modded brush to spray wider coats of primer and clearcoat the guy explained pros and cons of the Iawata V the Veda 180 and 186 apparently they found you can run the Veda models at a much higher pressure and after long term use they can take it without failing. Apparently the Iawata brush isn't suited to running at the higher pressure and run better at a lower pressure. Anway the mod worked great and it solved the problem of not being able to achieve a high gloss finish when trying to paint larger areas. After the mod a fan twice as wide was achieved and more importantly a great gloss finish over a wide area. Without the contributions from yourself and many others it would be much harder to choose the right brush to suit your needs as a beginner. Because the contributor had so many brushes covering different price ranges he demonstrated that for this particular application the much cheaper Veda 186 with 3 sizes of pots was the better brush to use, in another situation he would use the Iawata. Many new to the hobby might be tempted to always go for the more expensive option but because some are willing to pass on knowledge learnt over years as well as pros and cons of different makes of brushes and price ranges. As a contributor you are helping me learn to become a better painter and i as well as many appreciate the time you take to help others. Thank you.

Love you video just started learning

On a fat line that needs detail. Like on a tailgate of a Ford or GMC truck. Do you fine line the out line and then get thicker as you work into the letter. Thank you very much for your videos.

Awesome video. Thank you so much this really helped me.

Hi there I have an airbrush similar to yours. When I push down on the trigger button it sprays paint instantly instead of pushing down and activating the spray as I pull back gradually The more you pull back the more paint sprays out Is that supposed to happen? REGARDS RICHARD

Where can I find a large journal like the one in this video? I just started using an airbrush and I need a lot of paper and practice.

Perfect... Thank you very much... 💪😎🤘

just a curious question that most of us would ask as a beginner, with the dual action pre-setting air regulator no problem, at the trigger to push down for the air, do you fully press at it down when doing you lines? meaning is the button fully depressed at all times even when fines lines to broader lines?

thanks for this, super helpful.

Excellent tips, thank you!

Another great video, thank you for sharing! I am actually starting my airbrush journey in a few days using a portable one. I will be getting a better airbrush in the near future when I get better so what brands and models could you recommend or suggest that are less costly than Iwata? I am sure Iwata is a great brand and all but it cost too much for me since this is a hobby for me. Thanks.

Im Subscribed (thumbs up) ... Great Video and content... Very helpful... Thanks..

Hello, I have an airbrush Iwata and the problem is when I want to make a fine line I cannot get the color out and when I press the trigger more a lot of color comes out, I do not use special colors for airbrushes, just use oil colors and dilute them with petrol, please help me, thanks

Thanks for showing this....I have to admit I was stunned when I saw the Iwata HP-CS hit that fine a line, would that work with Vallejo acrylic paint ?.....can I ask what pressure were you using ?

I just noticed seldom are using siphon airbrush, what is the reason behind? I have a crescendo 175 badger. .

New subscriber! I hung up my airbrushes about 25 years ago, used to do illustration work.... Recently taken up landscape painting In oils, which used to fill me with dread... "what?..six months to dry?!?!" But now there are fast drying oils, so I'm at last giving it a try. So, my question is - I'm working on a picture With a backlit dewy spiders web, all hand brushed, but can I use an airbrush With white oil paint to add a very fine halo around each water drop?... Can modern airbrushes cope with oil Paint without the "o" rings dissolving From the solvents? (I would probably Be using Bob Ross odourless paint thinner) Also, I'm amazed how cheap airbrushes start at now... are they worth a shot while I re acquaint myself with all this? Thanks, this looks like a great channel!

I'd really appreciate some help. It seems like when I push my needle back into position to stop the paint, I get a dot formed on my line. I'm not getting dog bones, but there is a dot at the end of the line when I return the needle to the initial position. What is the problem in the situation and how can I resolve it?

Soooo good work as always. A quick question. How are you cleaning a plugged .2mm nozzle? Thanks.

I owe you! Thank you

Love your channel fellow Aussie, just started air brushing. One question when i remove my needle protector shroud to try thinner lines I get no paint coming out just air. It works prior to removing end cover? Thanks.

An aussie Ay? I love to airbrush Quokkas! Cute little buggers. They look good in brown. You've probably seen my work

I have a gun with a .2 needle and I an not get a fine line to save my life. I have played with pressure, paint thickness and so on... so HOW SHOULD the gun and paint be set up to accomplish this?

OK chap, I think I may have mentioned this before but if not here goes, I'm trying to respray my mountain bike (nothing flash) onto sanded existing paint (in good nick) But not sure what type of paint to use, so before you get all technical on me remember I'm an idiot and new to this game, I haven't even got one yet, once painted (IF) it will get three coats of clear coat (lacquer) This paint has to be acquired at a hardware store or on "Amazon" as no car. There! that should keep you guessing, any help greatly received. P.S, love your work, Regards from Blighty (UK)

I recently bought an Iwata HP-C +. Using Wicked paint, what would you suggest as a starting air pressure? Would you suggest the 7:3 ratio of paint to reducer? Thanks for a great video!

very nice

very informative, thank you ......really found mix ratios and psi etc very useful as I did wonder. :)

I am having issues with small needles. My .2 mm won't release paint. Any one have some advice?

Hi I’ve just started in the airbrush hobby and wondered about the trigger finger control as it seems in your videos You seem to constantly move your finger back and forth is this the normal or your preferred way Regards

great video - althgouh i've been using airbrush for 40 years, and many times a ineeded fine, sharp lines and never been able to get them for long! Now I realized the secret is holding it exactly the same distance all the time, but now here's a problem, I am always painting scale models and they all have a rough surface, HOW do i slide and hold the airbrush a uniform distance from the surface? Maybe that's why I still have this problem after 40 years...

Thanks great tip

When i try to do do fine lines i get like over spray around my lines doesnt do sharp lines.. and when i try to make fine little dots it makes spider web looking dots

You removed the aircap. Does that help get finer lines?

I like to strain my pants through pantyhose they do a really good job it helps get out any particles I'm not wanting in it and the pantyhose comes in a very fine mesh which makes it really great restraining pain although it's a few extra steps you'll find it's worth it in the end

U make it looks so ez I cant do those type of lines on hard plastic lures and I dont got a cheap gun either lol

So.. if I buy an airbrush... did they have an airbrush paint and reducer??

I'm sorry to bother you again but I'm a real fan if iwatas I like the custom micron because you can get a real hairline with it thank you again for all you do

We’re can o buy trident in USA or Canada i really like it I’ve tried a blue and it sprays nice

what does the screw at the rear end of the brush do?

What's the best setting for 0.2 needle from harder and steenbeck?

Thanks for this, I think in my case I would much prefer stainless steel or glass mixing cups, I really hate plastic and try not to use it given how bad it is for our environment.

Great thank you so much!

First of all please excuse my ignorance I know zero about Airbrushing. Doesn't the 'side fed' gun's feel unbalanced? Can inks be used in place of paint?

This helps me out alots...

Can you achieve these fine lines with an Iwata HP C Plus?

Aren't these needles so sensitive that picking at it with your nails can bend the tip?

Do you typically leave the chrome tips on your guns when you’re doing fine lines or do you take them off?

What PSI are you using?

Thanks, this is helpful. I'm so sorry your country has become a crazy police state. I hope you guys can put a stop to the absurdity!! It's so scary.

This airbrush is very good.what i can see

Now show us with the needle cup you took off your airbrush and why we should not use it!

3.5 paint to 1.0 reducer...? Never worked with my airbrush, I reverse that to 3.5 water to 1.0 paint works great.

What kind of paint?

what are the MATERIAL sir... compressor that you use . . i mean ss GIVE list pls :D

hay brow how much is the price of a simple but good pen brus and what brand

Which provides a finer line?

is it OK to use acrylic paint mixed with water?

How about even finer lines than that? XD

Echo echo echo echo echo...

Hell, are you recording in a church? i am grateful for the video but pls work on the echo... 😁

You talk way to much . nice video

Dog bones ffs
