How to Airbrush for beginners - LEVEL UP HERE

Thank you for this great airbrush guide!!

Great video! Loved that you could see the size and shape of spray. Did you list anywhere what model compressor and airbrush it was?

I just started airbrushing and I used regular paint to airbrush my plush. They turned out VERY dry! What paint is best to use on plushies when airbrushing them that won’t make their fur all dried up?

I’ve had an airbrush for a few years, a Paasche, and it was great for priming. Then I got an Iwata HP-CS, and it’s terrible. I can’t prime like I did with the other one, it just sorta little bits at a time. I completely disassemble after each color. That’s the only way I’ve found to prevent clogging at the tip. If you don’t do that you will clog and ruin your mini and waste time cleaning. Taking it all apart, and using the cleaning kit and lubrication, that’s really the only way I’ve found to get it to work.

Ultrasonic cleaner will do amazing at cleaning the brush. I use glass pipettes and it cleans them almost instantly. I use alcohol in it hasn't damaged anything, it's been 2 years now. Also at the end you can polish the needle with metal polish, it leaves the needle like a mirror, super smooth and paint will flow through it like the first time you used it.

How "dirty" is airbrushing - does a tiny amounts paint stay in the air and slowly land on other parts of the room and furniture?

Airbushes are fast and create great results, but, to be honest, when you factor in the maintenance, the toxic hazards, the expense and the cleanup time, it's just not worth it if you want to get a lot of minis tabletop ready. Rattlecans for me from here on in for zenithal work.

Fantastic video! New subscriber here cant wait to watch some more vids. I just got an Iwata Eclipse. I think I’m going too heavy on the paint and trigger, I’m getting a lot of clogged detail and the paint looks wet on the model when I’m spraying. I’ve tried lower and higher pressure and more and less thinner. It’s fun figuring it all out tho!

This may have been mentioned before but a dust mask will not filter out paint fumes, it may catch some paint particles but that is about it. The most comman masks that can do this are reusable half masks with replaceable filters or full face masks. You used to be able to get activated carbon ffp3 dispoalbe masks however these are expensive and will not last as a long as a halfmask.

I need a pump like the Arism , wish I could get one sent to me

Every time I go to use my air brush it doesn’t come out very well & sprays like spray paint. Never a clean line, always splattered tiny dots 🤷🏻‍♂️

Eu comprei 4 aerografo. Estou no aguardo, ansioso louco para testá-lo rs.

really useful man, subscribed

Hi, thanks for this guide. Ordered mine.

Thanks for this video :-) This seems to be a nice starter set for me. Could you please tell me how loud this compressor is?

Thanks, very informative!

One of the best beginner's videos. Straight to the point with all the most important details. Great!

isopropyl alcohol is what I used for flushing and cleaning

You sound like jazza 🤟😂👍

Harder and steenbeck sells those cleaning kits so I don't think they damage the airbrush and if someone is then they are being to aggressive need to use more cleaner.

Looking at buying an airbrush and once again your video helps me enormous, still a bit scared tho ;)

This is a great video but you really need to GET RID of the music, it detracts from the information you're trying to convey. Music is wonderful when it's needed or wanted. Neither is necessary here and it only makes it harder for hard of hearing people like myself. Too many channels do this and it just puts people off watching what could be a very good video. Just a thought.

One tip for new people with an airbrush that wasn’t mentioned is switching colors. It’s pretty easy all you have to do is rise with water a few times and spray out the extra paint still in the airbrush rinse one last time and it should be clean for a new color. I hope this helps!!!

Excellent content. Thank you. Just unpacked my air brush.

Are you still using this kit & compared to the £40 Amazon ones how much better is this?

Great video - any tips on PSI?

been airbrushing years but my paint still always blocks the airbrush. Have tried everything lol

Nice intro to airbrushes and helping to reassure those new to airbrushing. The only thing I would suggest users consider carefully is the practice of "backwashing". In the middle of airbrushes are typically a seal or set of seals which can be affected by backwashing. The air really should only flow the one way (from the air source to the needle and forward). The back pressure created by closing off the end of the airbrush can push the seal(s) in the middle of the airbrush back slightly which can then lead to paint creeping back along the needle towards the trigger. This might ultimately result in poorer performance of the airbrush. If this happens with beginners they might not have the understand of what may have caused this loss in performance and feel disheartened. Airbrushing can be a lot of fun and I thank you for helping reassure those thinking about taking the plunge.

For someone who just recently started using one, this is a fairly perfect intro to airbrushing for tabletop gamers/painters imo. Super well done!

It looks like a crack pipe

Mask with stick tack. Its so easy and means you are not painting over the base color on places like the faces.
Speaking of a mask.. you better wear a serious one. Even if you have a spray booth.

Thanks lad! Just got my first airbrush! Really excited! This’ll really help!

you mention ''Thinners''.... are we talking distilled water or Cellulose.acetone? with water based acrylics?????? Sorry I'm a newbie

Thanks great video, Much appreciated!

I’d like to learn more color building. Painting with built up layers of thinner color. My big mistake was using too heavy a paint mix. Thanks

I want to use an airbrush but I work in my basement and I’m too scared of the health implications

full Dunkin lmao!!

Thanks for the info.

Hey, can i also use normal car paint with it? I've heard that the seals might get damaged because of the thinner when cleaning car paint

I subscribed

Great video!

I believe this video is only for ppl who are from uk ?

Just got my first airbrush so watched this again. Just as good the second time around. Great video.

how often do you need to clean it like shown? every time you shift paint or just after an ended session?

I love air brush so easy to learn & so cool to use!!!

Airbrushing 101: Don't bounce your finger up and down on the trigger unless you want to increase your chances of tip drying and splatter. Air on at all times, and move the trigger back and forth for paint.

Thanx for the video. Somebody stole my compressor out of my garage. But I have an iwata hpc plus, and one got a chance to use my airbrush for a short while. The air came out all funny like the motor of the compressor. So I never had a good smooth finish like yours.

Airbursh cleaner is overpriced af, lukeaps did some diy cleaners and it works wonders
