    holy crap 3 hours instruction. that is awesome. speed paint is helpful, however, this is something that should be done more often. thanks for letting us watch the process start to finish!

    I agree with your views on perfection. Its the imperfections that define one artist from another. Its the imperfections that shape your style. Imperfection is creativity in motion.

    Mr. Townsend, let me say that's by far the longest video I've ever watched. Let me also say I've learned more in these past 3 plus hours than in any 3 years of watching these videos. As far as the placement or mapping goes that's 99% common sense, use what's in front of you to your advantage. But I have come away with a much deeper understanding of the value of layering, going back and putting on some more, touching up and layering again. Not at all like oil painting on canvas where the black or green on your brush goes on as is ! For you to take the time and trouble to make such a video for the education of others is simply astounding. Don't let this go to your head but you do have talent, awesome talent, and you come off as a pretty nice down to earth guy too. Wicked combination. Thank you for the vid and a long and fruitful career to you.

    This is definitely the best airbrush tutorial on portraits i have seen out of all the videos i have watched... thank you for explaining everything so clearly from ink preferred airbrush and color mixture to stenciling and the actual step by step airbrushing the portrait.. everyone tries to quickly show you things but they skip so many steps or they time lapse the video and a beginner honestly cant learn to much from a time lapse or a person rushing through the steps.. I really appreciate this video i will subscribe right now please make more tutorials on other aspects like letters color blending and tips for a absolute beginner like me i recently purchased my airbrush and was so excited to airbrush a name and a picture and my letters and everything else looked horrible I couldnt control the consistency of the thickness of lines i would either make them to thin or to thick and if i had to stop and then come back to continue a line i tried to continue the line exactly the same thickness of the part of line I already had and I couldn’t make it look like i never split the line in 2 pieces you can see exactly where i came in and continued the line because I pulled back a little to much on the trigger so it made a circular little splatter so the line was ruined and when im trying to make a name on a shirt some oarts of the letters are a bit faded while other parts are darker and some parts are thiner while others are thicker its a total mess ..please make tutorials for a absolute beginner like me i really appreciate and admire your art.. you are an amazing artist your design looks excellent or whatever word is the highest in category of excellency then thats what your art is .. keep up the magnificent work bro god bless

    wow, nice to see an artwork on an automotive (motorbike) job; as most "art" especially airbrushed art is on canvas, tee shirts, cakes, or as illustrations on paper! Great to see the use of airbrushing these projects, as when you say "spray paint a car" in CZcams, it comes up with flat coating a car in one colour (using a normal or HVLP spray gun)- as in what a crash repairer does when repainting a car.

    @optimusprimesqrt6 Před 3 lety

    when cutting some of your stencils try using a swivel knife, it has a smaller blade and gives you the ability to rotate the blade without hard stick line edges also try using a catapillar stencil for airbrushing, usually you will have to make your own but it gives you a wide range for blending and soft disappearing flow of paint.

  • @Cyph3rHaxPalm
    @Cyph3rHaxPalm Před 9 lety +1

    That was an Awesome Job Ryan, Like how you Explain Stuff in your own words what works for you, and give good tips to other ppl who start dabling into airbrushing and such. Ive noticed one thing tho, seems like the girl you painted on the tank and the grey and black video you did, the ladies have a familiarity to one another :), or at least it kinda seams that way.

    Hi Ryan your work is amazing I think you hit the nail on the head when you said beginners rush to see the end and miss out on the detail that counts. Your video taught me alot rather than just hearing "dagger stroke practise practise practise....." what are you thoughts on the devilbliss dagr airbrush for detail work
