I'm glad I watched this.... I couldn't find the right ratio of reducer and paint... and i always get tip dry and splashing when i try to paint
'All of the Tutorials & information' that you so kindly share is going to prove very important to myself and the work that I produce in the future. I can't thank you enough 👍😀👍
Thank you. Your showing me the support that is huge. Glad you've found my channel. 👍👏👏👏
Many thanks for sharing such great practical demonstration. Very informative and useful for me 👍👍
Thanks also for your support. 👍🙂
You're smart. Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you. 👍🙂
Great tutorial, now I know why I spider when detailing, Thank You.
Welcome bro. 👍👍
Your vids are very helpful. You’re awesome. 👍
Thanks, you appreciate what I am doing.
Nice demonstration! 👌
Thanks for appreciating. 🙏🙂
Thanks Dan, this subject has had me me perplexed since I got started. Definitely going to help me find the sweet spot for my Iwata Eclipse. Great vid! Thanks
How long have you been airbrushing?
@@AirbrushNinja Less than a week so far but I have been thinking about it and reading up about airbrushes for several years.
@@CoinOpMilitia you can start here. You can skip everything but not the beginners exercises. czcams.com/play/PL3yZtS9amf2Qu6TlmWz2uh-EyhS0ho1lE.html
@@AirbrushNinja Thanks, Ive downloaded the practice sheets so thats going to be my first thing to get good at.
Good job!
Thanks
Isa kang Henyo sir.. hoping na maka start na din ako mag practice 😊
Salamat po. Bigay lang talaga para bumalik din. Dami ko pang gistong i share lods. Sana kayanin
Thanks for that excellent video - very helpful to see the effects in detail of reducing the paint.
The only thing missing, to me, was the psi you were spraying at, and what difference that would make to the line thickness
Typically, for paper, around 25 to 30 psi for 2mm or.3mm will work. for metal or synthetic papers should be lower. For fabrics it doesn't matter, but to make the paint penetrate more, I think 40 psi or higher should be used. The higher the psi, the greater the percentage of spidering or splattering. As an example, 0.5mm is more delicate. Low psi may not spray evenly, and higher psi will cause spidering. So. 0.5mm is risky.
But please, experiment. What's working for one doesn't mean it will work for all. I have 2 airbrushes with 3mm. The other cam sprays well at 18 psi, but the other one is interrupted, but OK with 25 psi or 30.
If you want to stop spattering add a few drops of glycerine that's what helped me.
Thanks for the info. 👍👍
@@AirbrushNinja BTW if you water down the paint too much you loss the pigments and colours, I've been tattooing for over 25 years and I'm now experimenting with airbrushing and mixing my own paint, I've found mixing a few drops of tattoo ink with acrylic paint 50%alcohol or glass cleaner50% a tiny amount of glycerine as a flow enhancer works great as the ink is super high in pigments, I also brush paint with this and it works excellent if I find a need for a binder to make the paint more sticky then I add a little wallpaper paste it's basically the same as gum Arabic,
maybe you could try my recipe as it makes high quality paint for a fraction of the cost of expensive paints and would make a great video.
great video, new sub.
Thank you. 👍👍
👍🏻
👍👍👍
Thanks. 👍😁
Not sure why my airbrush seems to spider out a lot more than yours. Bought a Creos 289 .2 mm. Would love to see a video on paint mix, dialing in air pressure, and material/medium. Tried erasing paint like I see on other videos and the paper I used doesn't erase at all. Just started, so these videos are very helpful. Appreciate.
Oh, subscribed. Good stuff.
@@trevorwesterdahl6245 I use sintra board (pvc board) for the erasing paint (Createx Illustration Colors). Or you can experiment on spraying on an enamel painted surface.
@@AirbrushNinja Thank you. Will give it a try. Much appreciated.
Thank you again for the helpful tutorial! What is the airpressure you used for the .2 and .5?
also interested in this
Welcome! It's the same for both. around 18-20 psi.
@@AirbrushNinja how do u adjust the compressor’s right psi for airbrushing ? Thanks 😊
@@PinoyMusicRevolution you can start with 30psi. Time will come and you will know what works for you.
Great video!! I struggle with this as well! What was the pressure??
18-25 psi should be just fine
Dan, your art is really professional. You are blessed with skill and talent. May I know where youre from? I also have a few questions. May I know the type of generic airbrush you use? I need one to paint gunpla. It needs consistency, and to blend gradients. Hope you can reply. Thanks man
Edit: Im going to use lacquer paints
I am using 6 gravity feed airbrushes, 1 side feed and 1siphon feed that I rarely use. Here are my reviews of them. czcams.com/play/PL3yZtS9amf2SLREIKMOsf10yb2pYptWYH.html
@@AirbrushNinja Alright, I will get to it. Thanks Dan
You're welcome bro. 👍🙂
@@AirbrushNinja How long does a generic one last tho? To keep up the performance?
My oldest generic airbrush bought on 2017 is still working great. It's better than before
It works, but only on a paper. Paper is pretty absorbent, so you don't get splatters with over reduced paint. How about hard surfaces? Any tips for non-absorbent "canvas" like synthetic paper or aluminum panel? Theoretically: the first airbrush (Micron) works at a lower pressure - does this make it significant easier to control the line on a non-porous surface?
I haven't tried a synthetic paper. But are you are familiar with sintra board? It's a plastic used to build a miniature house/buildings models. I can still use the 1:6 ratio on that using just a cheap .2mm airbrush. So it makes sense that the quality airbrush can do the same or probably better for detailing
Thanks For the vídeo! Did you reduced with water? Do you do that when you are making an artwork?
Greatings from Holland!
Yes, distilled water works for me. But i am not saying that it's better than any reducers that are selling by the known brands. It's just that, I have no problem using water. I tried createx reducers, but i can't see any huge difference. In my opinion and experience.
Can you please let me know how I can do fine line work without resting my hands on the piece being painted? What air pressure do you use for your line work?
I thought of making a video about that. We'll see how I can come up with solutions for that. That was also my problem before, but I completely forgot about it. Soon I will upload a video, but I can't say a definite time or date. Good thing you asked. I'm also honored you chose to bring that up to me..
In the video you say you are using reducer and not other type of thinner. Isn't that the same thing?
Sorry for the confusion. Yes, reducer or thinner is just the same. In this video I said that I am only using distilled water as a reducer not chemical reducers. 🙏
I am really struggling to get consistency.
I bought a second hand airbrush.
I can’t tell if there is a problem with the airbrush- or if it’s just me being incapable of getting consistent paint.
I advice you find someone knows how to airbrush and make him test your airbrush.
After 1:1, my paint becomes too watery and it starts spiderwebbing. Probably because my paint is already an airbrush paint. The problem I’m having is dry tip. What’s your PSI setting on the 0.2 for those thin lines?
Not all paint needs a reducer. You have to know when to add. Also depending on the nozzle size. For .2mm i usually set the psi @ 18-25 psi.
What do you set your psi to for these fine lines?
18-25 not always the same. Mainly about controling the trigger
what PSI did you use sir?
20-25psi. But now i stick to 25-30psi
What psi should be used for fine details like this?
18-25psi can make this. 👍🙂
@@AirbrushNinja thank you
I have a Fengda FE-180K with 0.3 mm needle set at 20 PSI, trying to figure things out different thinner ratios and PSI.
I discovered a strange thing that no one seems to discuss and please someone confirm this behaviour:
I have to pull the trigger 3-4 mm to get any paint going, but If I unscrew the nozzle 1/2 of turn I have to pull the trigger only 2-3 mm
And If I unscrew the nozzle another half turn I only have to pull 1 mm to get the paint going which is great for me.
Unscrewing the nozzle a little will still maintain the seal because of the rubber O ring, but will also pull it out so I guess it increases the negative force required to pull the paint?
Is this something that people do ?
No, haven't heard anyone does that. That's a trick you discovered yourself and you might use that to your advantage. I have no idea how that works and or any reason it affected the sensitivity of the paint flow
Did you adjust the nozzle while the needle is attached and locked? Because sometimes, when you set the needle a very little back, and lock it. The same effect will happen. Sometimes there's little paint coming out because the needle is not totally closing the nozzle.
@@AirbrushNinja I think I loosen it then lock it back after pushing it all the way, but I'm not sure. It's interesting that you pointed that to me. It must be the same behavior like pulling the needle back before locking it. I remember trying that also but the trigger became too loose.
I will keep messing with it
I rarely do that method. But sometimes, instead of letting the trigger to not so sensitive and you have to pull more to make a paint visible, pulling the needle a little may do the trick. But sometimes it's not the best solution. There must be a tiny dried paint that blocks the nozzle. But if it worked, you can save time.
@@AirbrushNinja Thanks for the advice
Help please, I can get fine lines with every color EXCEPT WHITE. I have to reduce it so much it's like water, then it spiders out all over. Tried lowering air pressure but have to pull back needle almost all the way and then I get puddles and a mess. I've tried adding balancing clear but that makes it thick again. I'm so frustrated I could scream.
That is normal when using acrylic. I sometimes use fine line brush or masking technique. Another option is to use automotive paint, i haven't tried yet but heard many times. You can try it yourself
cant u just buy a cheap airbrush and change the nail and nozzle ?
If they fit really well, yes you can. 👍👍
