Using an airbrush is not easy when you are a beginner. Some questions can be quite overwhelming, but luckily in this short guide we will go over the most important tips and tricks that will help you start using airbrush on miniatures.
AIrbrush is truly speedpainter's best friend. Whether you wanna use zenithal highlight/priming to spray the basis on your miniatures and use contrast over that - or you wanna use airbrush to build very specific basecoat, airbrush will help you with that very easily.
In this video we are painting miniature from White Werewolf Tavern. This miniature was great for demonstration of basic airbrush techniques and I would suggest starting on 75mm as well if you can/want.

If you are looking for some sweet miniature painting tutorials or warhammer hobby content in general, this is the right channel for you! - Jak na to + styl
Always look forward to your "explained in 5 minutes" videos, even at such a short time frame, the information in incredible.
as always, fast, clear, easy, cool!
I've always been on the fence because I felt there was too much to learn, thank you so much for this video for simplifying it so clearly!
Nice work and great explanation about how pressure changes the color distripution from a spider-like wet blob to a more controlled manner of color spray cloud. I had no idea that changing pressure affects color spray formation so much and is so important. Excellent work. This gets any beginner airbrush painter to an excellent start no matter what.
My airbrush is arriving today and this is the 2nd or 3rd time I think about something and then 20 minutes later see your video on that exact subject! :D Painting for my first competition today, so I hope your video is a sign of good luck!
Just as always. Clean explanation, and touching all small details about airbrushing that a beginner needs to know. Also information about the material used as well as how to fix problem that may appear while airbrushing. Chapeau! Keep that nice work ;)
I love your 5 minute series, every video is great, thanks for all of them!
I just watch this video and thats the same air brush I purchased a year ago. You are spot on the compressor is what you really need to put the money in. If you can control your air then you can air brush
Really great tips! I recently got a cheap starter airbrush and I've used it for base coating, but I've been too intimidated to try anything else. I think now I'm going to give it a try though!
Mind = blown!
This video covered every important detail you MUST KNOW as a beginner, and dare I say even some so-called experts. If I had watched this video first when learning how to airbrush, it would have saved me a ridiculous amount of time.
AND.....If I had the power, I would make this video mandatory for all airbrush products to link to using a QR code on the packaging. I can't say enough how powerful this video is and what a difference it would make for anyone starting out.
Just WOW!
This is the best video I’ve seen on painting with airbrushes, thank you!!
Best beginner video for airbrushing I’ve seen, thanks
Absolutely brilliant video!!! Thx mate! Great job! Very useful!
God bless you for this contact man, I love the model making community, but some of their videos are way longer than they need to be, I want to get to painting as soon as possible, I appreciate you cutting down your content, and being so efficient
got an airbrush about a month ago, this video is on point!! thx!
As always friend, your videos are excelent : Clear, Fast and precise! I really suggest you if want to upgrade your Airbrush, go for Harder & Steenbeck and for an air compressor, try to find one DIY with a refrigerator motor. Not only is less noisy but it will last AGES.
Clear and concise as always
Thanks
I learned that you can use makeup sponges to help clean the needle from Ninjon. I've been using them for anything where you need to cover the needle and spray so you can mix paint in the cup. I also use them to clean part of the airbrush as well.
I have a Paasche H with an air valve. I like the single action external feed style for a few reasons. Because it's external feed the paint enters the airstream outside the brush, making it much easier to take care of. Single action (ie when you hit the button it's full power or nothing) would seem to be a big restriction, but a cheap air valve lets you adjust the pressure at the hose, so you can 'set' the pressure you want to work with. I'm not very good, so removing this fiddlyness actually helps me quite a bit.
Thank you, just bought all the stuff for airbrush and felt so lost but this answers everything
This must have been the most effective video I have ever seen!
I think we use very similar airbrush and compressor. Thanks for the tips and I look forwards to using my airbrush!
This is a very good video on the use of the airbrush. Thank you.
Thank you for a really concise and clear video mate, dekuji
He does it again, another great video! Have you thought of doing some building videos? Conversions always seem to be a hit!
this was a very nice quick starter tutorial! will have to save it.
now i need to find a more color layering type tutorial as I am a color noob.
Thanks for the info. Tough to find any actual useable information, but this helped me for sure.
Always amazing!!!!
Best airbrush explanation video ever made. Where have you been all those years, i needed this 5 years ago :D
When I was new all the videos said to reduce pressure to reduce spiderwebbing or paint close with fine lines. After a lot of disappointment at 10-20 psi, I found that keeping the pressure high works great even up close, as long as you don’t pull back on the trigger too much. Up close - low paint flow. Far away - high paint flow. You can paint super fine lines just a mil away from the subject at 30+ psi if you’re just careful with your paint flow. Plus, the high pressure gets you better atomization and less spattering and you don’t have to thin quite as much. It’s a real balancing act.
You are correct. It's interesting how people are able to paint well at high psi and low psi as well - like Sergio Calvo (low psi for shading) or Angel Giraldez (higher in general for highlights)
Low psi is good for getting a specking effect for say 3 day growth beard
Air control is an excellent option for working at high pressures - it allows you to slightly adjust it to the current task, without requiring you to knock down carefully selected pressure on the compressor itself.
ThAnK YoU So Much!!!❤️ Totally helpful!!!
This is exactly what I needed to remind me on some things as I dust off my old equipment.
Great video and on point as always
Another sick video mate
Great video as always, well done mate
I ordered my first airbrush yesterday !
Thank you for this video.
Thanks for the tips
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
Thankyou for the tips! Here I go...!
Thx for vid and techniques
Awesome thank you
Christ bless you, thank you I was thinking of if I should get an airbrush or not you have definitely helped with that
Best video thanks
Dude , awesome video!
I use the same aero :D
Great video man! Im having a lot of trouble with skin tones right now, is there anything you would recommend to get better at this?
Great video. I've got one question though. You mentioned that water is not enough for some paints and one should use thinner instead for them.
Could you elaborate on that? Which paints work better with thinner than water? Big-pigmented paints like whites? Or did you mean particular lines/brands?
I am always afraid to use water for thinning, because it tends to separate pigments if you use too much of it - on the other hand, thinner (at least the vallejo one) tends to make the paint dry too fast if you use it instead of water.
Awesome video, even though it is quick I noticed you basically glaze everything, which may explain why I get speckling (need to thin more my paint).
Keep up the good work.
I once heard next level painting refer to airbrushing as glazing and how that changed his view of it and it makes so much sense seeing people like this who are really good at it.
Thanks! =)
Any recommendations as to what brand of airbrush to start with?
Hello, i wonder if is necessary to sand the surface or u use the airbrush form the front?
Can you use any compressor? I have an existing air compressor for driving nails into baseboards.
Question do you need to use primer on everything before you paint it ?
@Zumikito can you please advice what Paint is used in Car interior please. what kind of airbrush do i need to buy for thicker paint. Thank you
What type of paint should I use? Does it have to be an spacial paint?
wondering if you're using a box to capture / filter ?
amazing as always, what is your favorite space marine chapter?
It is your profile pic!
You are using flow improver as airbrush thinner?
How has no one explained it like this before
if you put air off before the paint you get a blob of paint on the needle tip, when you start spraying that blob going to hit the miniature, so Air,Paint,Air.
I’ve started with a master airbrush when I just started out. The 2 mil nozzle broke up the first day, the O rings got brittle a year in (even tho I didn’t airbrushed that much + I maintained good cleaning) and now it just leaks air and becomes unusable. I would recommend a better one like Harder Steenbeck Ultra or their Evolution airbrushes
And what do You think about airbrushes with pistol grip like G79 ?
Nice! I’d like to know where and how I should set up a place to airbrush
I mean, if you are not using it to prime and basecoat 100 miniatures at one time, you can pretty much do it in you standard painting spot
@@Zumikito thanks! might try it :)
I think I made a big mistake with my first airbrush. I bought an Olympos HP-100C on eBay (secondhand); it was very cheap but the needle is perhaps too small.. or is it the nozzle? There are no markings on the needle but I think it's between a 0.1 and a 0.2. Whatever it is it will NOT spray anything thicker than water! Primer? Forget it.
So, I purchased a shiny new KKMoon airbrush which comes with two needle sizes, a 0.3 and a 0.5. I know it's a low-budget airbrush but I polished the needles and tomorrow I will try it out. Fingers crossed.
How loud and dirty is it? Is it possible to airbrush in the living room without getting fire from wifey for messed up walls (paint particles over time) and volume of the compressor?
It's good to see another high-level paainter using these cheapo amazon special airbrushes! It kinda blows the whole argument of "airbrushing is expensive" out of the water.
Right? I am not using it as often though, but it still works for a lot of stuff!
do u get much overspray? i think i have the same setup but waiting to get a spray booth before i start spraying do you use one normally?
Nope, I don't use any booth and so far no problems, though I don't use it as often
Danke!
As always very nice videos and explanations and as promised a small support from germany.
Keep up the good work and I would love to see more content about airbrushing as well!
@@kevink.4488 Thank you so much! Some more airbrushing stuff will be coming in the future :)
How loud are the compressor
what software was that
Do you thin your (stynylrez?) primer? I tried it through a cheap airbrush/compressor and it did not want to work.
Sometimes a few drops of thinner, but it works without it as well
never clean needle with fingers. use brush soaked in airbrush cleaner or IPA
Can you explain reasons ?
@@simonaublet4386 because touching the needle like that risks damaging it.
Sure. I've used my airbrush for 2 years, and have been pretty hard on it generally. Like cleaning the needle with me fingies. It still works perfectly
Removing tip dry with your fingers is totally fine as long as you do it carefully.
You can just as easily bend and damage the tip of the needle by accidentally knocking it with the metal ferrule that attaches the paint brush’s hairs to the handle.
Pros been using their fingers for like ever but both methods work fine. There is many ways to skin a cat! Happy airbrushing :)
Never would have thought to use an Irish Pale Ale
I like your videos, and agree with everything you've said so far, but I disagree about upgrading the compressor and not the airbrush. It should be the other way round. I've tried $1k compressors, and while they sometimes sound marginally quieter, there isn't significant difference, and the quality of paint is not affected at all (all it does is pump air) As long as the compressor is tanked, it is pretty much all you need. You only need to upgrade if multiple people are using a single compressor via manifold.
However, airbrush quality does matter a lot. The better brands (Iwata and Procon) takes out a lot of the spitting and spidering issues, as well as having a finer spray pattern, having more atomised paint, smoother blends, being easier to clean, being more durable, etc. The quality of the paintjob improves to a significant extent with a better airbrush, along with encouraging you to use it more, rather than discouraging you by having maintenance issues all the time. Procon is on the cheaper end, but very high quality. I encourage you to compare a PS-270 or PS-289 with your airbrush.
What causes the paint to 'spit'? I keep getting little blobs of paint shooting out when I start to spray. I've tried thinning the paint, but that just means I get thinner spots, if you see what I mean. I have looked up solutions, but I've seen so many suggestions that I've become confused. I realise the problem is me in some way, just not sure what I'm doing wrong. The paint I'm trying to use is Citadel Averland Sunset Air, if that makes a difference. I have 0.2 and 0.4 nozzles, but it still does it regardless, although it is worse at 0.2 - I think.
I think that is speckling - try increasing the pressure in that case and it won't do that anymore
Assuming you're having the same problem I did at first - If you're not already, make sure you're returning the trigger all of the way forward (stopping the paint flow) before you let go of it (stopping the air). If you lift up off the trigger while paint is still passing through the airbrush, youll get a bunch of it in the tip which will splatter out next time you use it. Try out both ways on a bit of paper to see what I mean.
@@Zumikito I increased from 1.5 bar to 2 bar, but it didn't make any difference. I have a feeling the problem is either with the formation of the paint, or my airbrush.
@@chrisjenno Thanks, Chris. I have been trying to make sure I do that as religiously as possible, but do get it wrong sometimes. I am however getting the spatter, regardless of whether I remember, or not. I've taken the airbrush apart and examined the nozzle really carefully, just to be sure there were no deposits I missed when cleaning. The paint is very thick, even in the 'air' format and I think this might have a bearing. I have switched to using the 0.4 needle all the time and being really careful with how far back I pull the trigger to avoid saturating the pieces with paint.
If you get spitting when you start to spray, it mean that you're pulling back before hitting the air, or the seal between your needle and nozzle is compromised, causing paint to form on the tip of the needle and spit out when you hit the air.
If its doing it while you're airbrushing, your paint isn't thin enough. If your paint seems too watery after thinning, the paint might not have enough pigment, and needs an agitator in the bottle to truly mix the pigments up. GW's paints are very pigment rich though, so you shouldn't have that issue.
💯👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
can you tell me which red you used please? ty
Mostly deep red from ak and added sunny skin tone for highlights
@@Zumikito ty so much
Just got the one in your link. Love it. It's so fun! The prime is so much smoother I'm blown away. So much faster to base coat 🥹
Use a toothbrush to clean dried paint off the needle.
Every single time I cleaned the needle I would always prick myself 😅
I'm just on these video to help me understand how to use a paintgun. But what is the craze over "miniatures" I don't understand this scene not in a rude way but like an alien I don't get what you guys see. Is it the joy of painting or is it to make a board game from the characters or something, I'm kinda entrigued but don't understand what u guys are doing.
I thought maybe like etsy but this scene makes toys for kids or collectors from media, but then i see in your vid people make these miniatures from scratch to sell so it's not like from a specific game its just random magic n medieval themed characters made for fun? I guess my question is what the purpose of miniatures?🤔 this isn't to be rude btw genuinely interested.
Make it easier to paint very large pieces than a brush. Also using it to get main color on my army since I have over 90 infantry. I've seen glazing is done easier with this and soft blend over than the normal brush.
Don’t forget to like and comment to appease the almighty algorithm 👍🏼
0:05 you also need paint
What's the name of the model?
3:38 then there are these guys
using flow improver to flush the airbraush seems a bit waisteful. Just use IPA to flush it. You can also use Ethanol. For lacquer top coats it's ofc. best to use the thinner for flushing but to clean it soaking in IPA or Ethanol works just fine.
nice info but a bit fast XD
do you wear a mask? does the room smell like paint when doing this?
Well my experience with the air brush isn't looking good. I just spent 1.5 hours trying to get the paint to flow out of the air brush. I could of had more done with a paint brush.
Where's my 5 min video on how to make 5 min videos on how to paint miniatures???
Step1: go to my "basics" video Step2: play at 6x speed
Step3: enjoy
HD130，well， another made in China.
But I still got serious clogging even with a 0.3 nozzle.
来人帮帮我。
Thin your paints down. If it becomes too diluted, then use an agitator ball in your paint pots to make sure pigments are stirred up well. Some brands are just straight up bad for airbrushing due to very low pigment count (despite advertising themselves as an airbrush paint) GW is high pigment, so try with GW, and see if it works.
Also, better airbrush does help. Procon is extremely cheap for its level of quality.
@@Kburn1985 I am using citadel and vallejo pants currently....
But what confused me was this Hd130 is exactly what I use and he is using a even smaller nozzle. And i still got awful clog when I spray av 864 Natural Steel for a basecoat for my necrons .
I am using vallejo airbrush thinner. Is this had anything to do with the pressure?
Why must you taunt me, not owning an airbrush, this way?
Also, this video isnt 5 minutes long. Prepare for the arbites to judge you.
I call it - underpromise - overdeliver 😁
Had to fit the ad in there.
These are the only two things you need to start airbrushing.... Oh and you need hoses...and connectors....oh also paint...and you'll need clearer too, oh and a pipette, and some where to dump paint, and an airbrush holder, and a respirator or painting station, but yeah that's all you need.
The airbrush is cheap, but the compressor is.....
Please video uploaded by Hindi language
Spraying isopropyl alcohol through an airbrush is likely to cause an explosion on occasions , so don't do it.
Could this fellow possibly have talked any faster?
ah, 130, the cheapest airbrush available. This bastard can take a lot, but the cleaning process can be troublesome
Talk too fast
Listen better
