^^^^Some old stuff for you


But basicly just to start off......You should get to know every part of your airbrush and how to clean it properly.....Which is called Teching.......Also for basic Brush control..Practice your Dots and Daggers and Boxes...I'll post some stuff for you tomorrow cause I'll get some flicks

Damn viruz dope work

[KtRL.]

virus, you should look into a clothing company..

[KnoxIn]

virus i set everything up today and like air is going through the "gun" or whatever you want to call it but no paint will go through, any idea why?

[(SoS)Viruz]

Either...The Paint has clogged where the paint goes thur....Or your brush needs to be deep cleaned.

[KnoxIn]

well we made the paint so it was practicaly water, and i took it apart and attempted to clean it but i have no clue what i was doing... what do i use to clean it and all that??

It also varies on your airbrush.....What airbrush Modle do you have. It should either say it on the Box that it came in or on the Brush its self.....If you can't find it just take a pic of it and post it here

[Asis]

sometimes you may have the needle holder on to tight try to losen it up an eighth of a turn around the need and see if the paint will come through...

do you have a bottom feeder or top feeder?

[Frasier000]

maybe your are right!

once u get into airbrushing uv entered a whole nother world of art its not much different from graff art its just the fact ur gettin into something u can make good money doin (not sayin u cant do that with spray paint) its just the fact society looks at graff artist as fuckin hoodlums that dont know anything but how to fuck shit up. Fuck that graff artist know alot about society in general and how to screw the system over but yea usually air brushing leads to doin tattoos wich is wat i do now either way u look at it we can all make money off wat ever medium u choose from walls to skin art is art fuck society and reep the benefits of ur art. just keep goin on this sight lol i havnt been on here since i went to jail a year ago and started doin tattoos so love peace and chicken grease and stay up my dudes

my boy gave me a brand new iwata eclipse hp-bs tonight, he's been sittin on for a good bit of years

i'll be getting a compressor soon, found a nice cheap one online, wanted to ask though.....whats the best techniques for control? i think i may be able to get the hang of this fairly quickly, just need some tips on control

[DukeOne]

airbrushing a lot of trial and error, especially when ur first starting out. but a lot of the same principles of spray painting work with an airbrush (closer to surface = a finer line) theres honestly like an insane amount of techniques for different types of control for different jobs, but just straight line work is a bit self taught. borg ull be fine man

[plumbererer]

yeah you are kind of being a fag about this whole thing. start playing with the fucker. obviously its a double action so minimal pull = lighter softer line full pullback its going to give you a nice thicker line although it has only a 35mm opening. its gravity fed so you have no control over how much product youll be spraying out, just plan on doing fine detail work. imagine trying to do a fill in with a grey dot on a huge piece. it blows and takes forever. once you start to get an idea of how she'll react then start doing figure 8s fat to thick lines etc. have fun with it. if there is anything i can suggest to you now as a preventative buy airbrush cleaning solution and a cleaning machine so that you can let it soak in after using it. i would also invest in these cleaning brushes mack brushes makes because they have a fine brush on it thatll fit iwatas real nice. but when it comes to what youll be spraying i cant stress enough how important it is to thoroughly clean out your cup, running fluid through it by spraying, taking your needle out and wiping it clean, etc. if you have any questions about maintenance get at me i used to repair them quite a bit when i worked at the art store. fag.

Dots and Boxes

And Lines and Daggers.

Im trying to get a Double action brush but they are expsensive and Im mad broke lol.......Plus Im starting to get into fine work along with some detailed stuff

[BORG]

define dots? i dont really see any point in jotting a bunch of dots on a piece of paper

another question i had is....does it matter how much psi your using? i read some of the manual for the iwata eclipse last night, and it said 30-60psi......and the compressor im getting is 15-30psi.....would it really be that bad to lower the psi to about 20-25 for detail??

and ofcourse im going to just have to experiment and shit......its quite hard when i only have the gun as of now though, just trying to gain some knowledge before i start this shit, seems u need a very wide range of knowledge about all aspects of airbrushing.....from compressors to paint...to technique,ect.......im just making some notes for myself

ruger....ur fagilicious <3<3

[plumbererer]

it all depends man. for finer more precise work you want your psi to be between 35-50 otherwise itll be too high and youll get dry tip and particles plus itll be hard to control. here for example when i was putting in the details i think i had it around 45-50 and was using 1shot lettering enamel for its durability:

but in that same sense it will also fuck your airbrush up if you dont keep it under constant scrutiny with cleaning and stuff. i cant stress how important it is to properly clean your tools.

^^this painting made me lol :D wtf kinda animal is that exactly man?
the hairstyle is hilarious :p

what kinda gun u using? although its a kinda big painting, looks nice and crisp, with some wicked details

no stressing cleanliness.....i'll treat the gun as if it were my penis

[CrustOner]

I have a double action Paasche, and a cake-decorating gun.. haha. I need to get a hold of a compressor though. I have everything else necessary.

that iis a borneo bitourang named bruce that lives at that zoo. they all look frazzled like that. its an iwata as well. iwata is always a the first choice when it comes to doing nice work although the racecar is only as good as the driver. so brands like pasche,badger, etc. are all good. but iwata is always a good investment. cleanliness is whats going to keep your gun running properly so dont take it lightly.

He's Right.......

Thats like the first thing you should learn.........Ppl send sooo much money replacing parts for thier brush ebcause they can't keep them clean.......I buy a new needle and a cone once a year.

[rone]

sorry i dont

[Toonsketcher]

Ive used a single action paasche bottom feed, a double action paasche side feed, an iwata revolution double action bottom feed, and an iwata HPCS double action top cup feed. I HIGHLY recemond stepping up to the HPCS from Iwata. everyone i have airbrushed with all say the same thing too... if your looking for more detail than that you could go one step further to the iwata micron but if the thickness of a hair is as small as u want the HPCS will work great. also along the paint side i have used HOK "House of colors" and AA "Auto Air" i feel that autoairs beacuse of there water base are easier to run but i think once you get the hang of the paint it is a very great product! the flames below are done with auto air. auto air also has no shelf life and after you spray it it can sit for years before you even have to think of clearing it unlike HOK. HOK i feel is very user frendly and is an easy paint to spray, its what i started with. the santa below is sprayed with HOK. if i had to choose between it all i would go with an HPCS and auto air, but just like everythin else it comes with alot of practice.

32233 While I was at UTI in the collision repair program we had a custom paint class. one of the effects is airbrushing which i never did before. I like it a lot but haven't had much practice. but i got to use a brand new iwata revolution which wasn't bad to start with

[AZTEKA]
