I'll show you that almost any airbrush can paint a line as thin as a hair. It's easier with a .35mm nozzle and smaller, but can be done just the same with a .5 as seen in this video. I'm using 4 airbrushes in this demo, a pointzero branded airbrush, an iwata revolution, an iwata eclipse, and a custom micron. Even though they all have different needle/nozzle sizes and are sold at wildly different prices, I can still paint the same size line with all of them. Within this video I'll show you how. Thanks for watching!

OK so, the eclipse cs is pretty much all you need. It has a .035 nozzle which helps move paint easier. The trick with the .35 needle is that it has a dual taper which aids in fine lines. Also, The iwata airbrushes have a higher technology air head assembly. There are 3 holes in the cap similar to the microns. No other airbrushes use more than 1 hole. This means there is no extra air pressure conversion within the gun, like there is with iwata. That is why you can use much lower pressure with an iwata. Paint reduction & quality along with a very good compressor with a holding tank is the key to success. The Eclipse is one of the best designs to ever hit the market. You can get decent lines with a cheap airbrush sometimes, but the repeatability and consistency of line pulls will not be as easy. Buy an Eclipse and a Micron and you will have a higher success rate and produce better work. And you should not ever have to replace them. I'm not bashing other airbrushes, but they do not compare. Regardless of how well they are made. Iwata is the king of atomization !

i just bought one of those cheapo cordless rechargeable airbrush/compressors off amazon and I was shocked at how well it works. here i never got into it because I didn't want to spend money and this thing works as well as I ever imagined a wicked expensive setup would and I can go take it in the grass and use it w/out any mess or ventilation issues.

Love watching your videos! They are the most detailed and informative out of any out there… I also like how you show and use all types of airbrushes. I have watch many of your videos on everything from how to as be well as reviews. They all great and I had to subscribe…… Thank for your knowledge and experience that you share. I recently got into airbrushing and with your help have produced some nice art work in less than 2 weeks of owning an airbrush. In only 7-9 hours I’ve done 3 paintings I’ve progressively gotten better.

Thank you so much, in all your videos, for explaining the WHY of things, not just saying, here's a tip. Understanding why something happens a certain way helps to adopt the action correctly. I have learned so much from your videos as I am just starting in airbrushing. Your work is absolutely beautiful.

really appreciate the kind words. glad you're enjoying the videos.Thank you so much!

@kenbarton3136 Год назад

I love your video skills. Beautifully shot and edited. I agree with you about the fine lines. My goto brush is the micron side feed. When I got this brush it was just liberating and it was the lower air presure i think that is the key factor. However I still find the badger sotar slim is just as good at less than half the price.

@theartworkshop Год назад

really appreciate that Ken. Thank you. I'm trying to get better with the editing! I agree with you about the micron, it's just so comfortable and accurate for detail work. Sotar is a great one too- will always be one of my favorites.

This was an eye-opener for me, thank you! I still have my half-century-old Paasche "H" siphon-feed brush, but wanted to try these newer gravity feed designs. I bought a Paasche "Talon" but, while on Amazoid, saw a "Timbertech" on sale for $21, so bought it too as a "practice" brush. I was pretty amazed at the "apparent" quality; smooth joints, excellent chrome work, three cup sizes that were machined/threaded perfectly, 3 needle/nozzle sizes, but I DID notice a distinct "catch" in the trigger mechanism, alluding to what you said; no biggie, it was just for practice. I disassembled the brush dry before trying it out, and the needle jammed about halfway out, futzing with the trigger didn't loosen it. I finally placed the butt of the needle on my bench to press it back in, it finally came loose and split the nozzle. Never even got to use it! The Talon is working fine, trigger is "okay" but someday I'll spring for an Iwata. Again, thanks for the info, I won't be worrying about needle size so much anymore.

i really like the paache talon. it's a great airbrush at a very good price.

@maquismark5852 Год назад

Thank you Mark. The most important aspect of an airbrush for me now is not how fine I can get a line down but how responsive the trigger is. I just this week picked up a Badger Sotar after seeing the reviews by both you and Rob@ Dredfx. It has given me a lot more confidence with the near immediate paint release so very pleased👍

@theartworkshop Год назад

me too! responsiveness is everything for me. Awesome airbrush that sotar- great choice Mark. It's just so responsive

@maquismark5852 Год назад

@@theartworkshop Also picked up even more Createx Illustration paints as I think I will attempt my first portrait soon. It's so true what you say in that you can watch RU-vid videos all day long but it's only through actual painting that you will truly develop. I also notice how I see things differently, always thinking about light and shadows looking at every day objects. I still struggle to make sense of the sky and clouds probably because of their absolute random nature. We are lucky to have you Mark. You give such a lot but ask for nothing👍✌️

@theartworkshop Год назад

@@maquismark5852 very nice of you to say that man. Really appreciate it. Createx illustration colors and portraits are a winning combo. Those paint really help make it easier and more forgiving. Thanks again Mark.

@johncollado1151 Год назад

Thanks again for a very informative video on airbrushes. When I started painting I used gessoed masonite (non-tempered) and like you, I also worked very close and did bend needle tips on occasion. I later went to cold-pressed illustration board, which I've used since, and on occasion I will still bend a needle just touching the board. I've watched most of your videos but can't remember if you've mentioned how to repair a needle tip if you bend one. I place the needle at the angle of the tip and gently roll it over a stiff surface until the tip is back in place, and that's after several examinations until a magnifier to watch progression. Thanks again.

@theartworkshop Год назад

thanks! yeah, masonite is a great surface to work on. I used to use it a lot too. Just curious, why cold press illustration board instead of hot pressed? I always found cold pressed to be too rough for anything other traditional brushed watercolors.

@johncollado1151 Год назад

@@theartworkshop I did a lot of collages with people in them, movie posters and such, so I liked the texture that cold press gave me. When doing machinery, ships, space scenes, etc. I did use hot press. Though with either board I never really achieved the photo-realistic detail that you get with gessoed canvas or board. I think it gets to the point when trying to reach that level, most people think it's a photo and not a painting when looking at it. Either way, I still consider myself a realist in style. Thanks again.

@theartworkshop Год назад

@@johncollado1151 I have to agree with you on the photorealistic comment. well said, and i think you are quite right about that.

The CM-SB is good I like it a lot but none of my Iwata are as good as the Olympos SP-B Custom, the SP-B retails for £189 or £209 for the custom version!!

@leatherforpets3636 7 месяцев назад

hi, does not the paint thickness play a role into making very fine lines despite what airbrush you are using? thicker paints even when thinned down still require higher psi to work, for example Angelus paints is one that i know and i work with. with higher psi how can you do detail close up work ?

bro do i need to keep the infinity away during my starting stage of airbrushing ? i got the sotar 2020 and hp b plus . they are so good in trigger response . when i sit to practice i find that i just can take the infinity out of my mind ,that what should i do with it since i spend so much on in . i think i should put it away and practice on sotar and hp b plus

@theartworkshop Год назад

the infinity is a fantastic airbrush, one of the best out there. It's a great one to learn with because its so easy to break down and clean when you eventually get a clog, which happens with every airbrush from time to time. The trigger consistency and response is not for me, but it's something you get used to. My advice is to use them all! eventually you'll find the one your most comfortable with- those are all amazing airbrushes.

Now if I could actually put that small line where it needs to go...Even harder since I do figurines, so using my finger to guide my airbrush isn't really a thing.

@duanemarshall9486 Год назад

Excellent video, excellent explanations! For me its all about how consistent the airbrush is along with atomization. Beter quality airbrushes tend to atomize paint allot better. Like you I have a large selection of airbrushes and very few of them atomize the paint better than my microns. That being said until one achieves the proper skills a high end airbrush isn't going to be utilized to its full potential or perform noticeably different and certainly wont be the magic ingredient. Practice practice practice with what ya got until you cant squeeze any more out of it then upgrade. Or just buy a sotar 20/20 😁. Just my two cents.

@theartworkshop Год назад

excellent! 100% agree with everything said here. could not have said it any better. And agreed about the sotar- a legendary airbrush.
