Cracking video. Liked and subbed. As hobbyists we could definitely learn from your "have a go" attitude. The highlights for me (excuse the pun) were; the white ink for pre-shading and that yellow crane is gorgeous. Love your work.
Thanks, and welcome to Goobertown! I probably have more test models around here than finished models. Lots of fun experiments to make videos out of :-)
Thank you for this all-encompassing review. It inspired me to test some new things. I never used inks through the airbrush before. BTW did you ever tried to use Daler Romney’s fluorescent acrylic inks through the airbrush? Does it have the same flow and consistency as usual inks?
It’s so nice to find a hobby youtuber that is so relaxed, just sharing info and isn’t selling their way as “the correct way” do to things, humble and their content isn’t like watching an energy drink commercial at a monster truck rally. Great stuff!
Hahaha "energy drink commercial at a monster truck rally." I know exactly what you mean. Thanks for watching! I'm really glad that you're liking the channel, I'll keep making these videos :-)
Awesome work, my friend. For me, the real winners were the smoothness of the liquid white pigment through the airbrush, and the vibrancy of the yellow. Paints that use granulated pigment just take so much work to get right, whereas this seems like it just wants to be sprayed! From one new channel to another, you're making amazing content! :)
Wow! A+ video man. I've used some of the darker green liquitex ink through an airbrush for doing mossy/grime effects but I never even considered that something like a white ink would work so well. This is so much better than thinning white paint.
Beautiful. What makes your vids so engaging is your modesty and your willingness to make mistakes. An inspiration, most of all for we perfectionists, who need to get out of our way more often and just have some fun.
Thanks for watching Mark! Yep, the only way to learn is to try new things and see what happens :-) I definitely stumbled on some fun ideas in this video that I'll use "for real" eventually.
Thanks so much. I think I've grown as a painter since finding your channel. As others have said, you inspire less "this is how you should" and really got me into "just play around and find what you like" Thank you, Brent
These videos are such a joy to watch. I love your risk taking approach combined with your calm manner in the videos. Just gives the most happy chilled vibes when viewing. Thanks for making these. The pigment discussions are also interesting and educational for me. Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks Johnny, I'm glad that you like watching this stuff! I appreciate the feedback, I'm aiming for calm and relaxing without being too boring :-) More of this stuff is in the pipeline!
I really appreciate you taking some time to talk about airbrush safety. I feel like thats something that often goes unmentioned. From someone who lives in a small place with two cats, and just purchased my first airbrush, thanks a lot!
I work pretty much only with inks during basecoating. Favorite stuff. One thing I love is if you've got ink left in the cup and you want to go back and pick out details like the tops of shoulders, you can mix a drop or two of white into your cup and mix it in there before going back. Prevents you from wasting ink you overestimated needing.
Goober is changing the game with some of these tips, these inks look like they could be fantastic for my upcoming Squig army, keep up the good work Goober.
Thanks! Yeah this is an awesome technique that I need to find some excuses to use. I have some dull browns and gray inks as well, but I felt like bright colors on the day I painted these :-)
so you were "new to airbrush" in February, and then I watch your videos in December same year and the following month and I have say: wow. Not sure how much hours you spent to "practise" but the 100hours time lapse shows, you practised on a loooooot of models. Great development, and great motivation for someone who just started painting.
I just bought my very first of these, the Liquitex Deep Violet at 10:45, and I absolutely love it. This feels like it was MADE for my cheapo Harbor Freight airbrush, and I think it's probably the smoothest-to-use paint of any of the ones I've tried, even more so than the already-very-good Army Painter Air starters and Citadel Contrasts that I've tried. I absolutely intend to buy more of these inks, plus the airs and contrasts. Thank you so much.
I really love your videos. I don’t mean to take away from your ability when I say this, but your channel is very approachable. You’re not trying to be over the top, which I greatly appreciate. You’re obviously talented, but also just seem like a normal guy trying to help. Thank you so much for investing in this experiment! Keep up the fantastic work!
Well done video! This is the best trial and error type video I’ve seen for using inks through an airbrush and you’ve answered a ton of my questions. Thank you!
I had to come back to this one Brent, a brilliant tour of the ink possibilities. I've just bought a set of 6 plus BW, so tomorrow my Frostgrave Demons. Thank you for the great videos.
I've used the liquitex inks mixed with some plain acrylic medium and it has worked great for glazing and creating other similar effects. The layer is translucent and also works as "glass" or "crystal" effect when used with high gloss medium.
Awesome!! I've been meaning to do some experiments like this, I definitely be giving this a shot. I've got a variety of media around here waiting for some color :-)
The tanks both looked amazing as you were dropping the additional highlights. I really like the Space Marine Chapter Invaders and that color scheme was getting there so quickly.
Brent - thank you for publishing your experimentation with inks. I particularly liked the tiger stripes once you hit it with the more yellow highlight.
@@GoobertownHobbies I have since gone through and watched some more of your videos. Really enjoyable! Keep the positive vibes flowing :) I now feel motivated to sit down with my Genestealer Cult for a painting and orientation meeting for the new members ;)
And now, having watched it all the way through, I just want to say GREAT JOB! I'm loving the long-form, easy-delivery style you have. Love the cat. Love the laid back approach and nod to Bob Ross. Just love it! Keep it up!
Excellent video. It was really nice to see just how vibrant these inks are and how well they cover. I’ve previously heard about using the black and sepia tones from these ranges to make more economical Nuln oil but this was a really interesting look at wider application for these inks.
Thanks! Yeah i'm going to try to get some more use out of these colorful inks soon. I also still need to try the darker inks for making washes and doing weathering, but I've heard good things.
This was super interesting, particularly how the white ink covered a black base coat. That alone is really useful information for the future. Also, I'm envious of that Kroot model at the end. I've been trying to find that one for a while now.
That white ink changes everything doesn't it? :-) I've been very lucky with a few craigslist scores- the gentleman with the Kroot hooked me up with a whole bunch of other cool stuff (like that big eisenhorn and the white dwarf). Anyway, that Kroot is all bagged up and sitting somewhere in my goobertown roulette treasure box, I hope I get to it someday!
gonna be totally honest, that Carnifex with a blue carapace looks really cool. I hope you do finish that one and use the scheme to make a small Tyranid skirmish team at the very least. Love watching your vids and this is the best one I've seen around for airbrushing so far. Honestly, your advice works for more than just miniature painting too. My fiance just doodles characters on her drawing tablet from time to time in order to practice the muscle memory. The practice she has gotten has helped her lineart feel much more alive than it used to be.
Just wanted to say thanks. Being inspired by this video, I tried white ink for preshade highlighting for the first time today. It worked out just awesome!
Would love to see you do an absolute beginner's tutorial on how to start out with airbrushing. It's been something I've considered, on and off, for a couple of years now, but I've never taken the plunge. Since you seem pretty new to it as well I'd love to see you go through how you started out. Plus your videos are so nice to watch! Keep up the great work.
Wow, first time on your channel, and with this video, you just jumped into my top 10 mini painting channels. And I seriously can't wait for the pigment video!
I have to admit that I had never thought of airbrushing models with acrylic inks but the results are outstanding. I think the Thalo Blue would work very well as a base color for a Space Marine tank or APC. The Land Raider color is close enough to the Salamander scheme that I would finish it as such. After seeing the results a wash would really set off the color schemes. I will seriously think of using this method on a Rhino model I plan to build. Thanks for sharing this interesting and helpful tutorial.
I'm glad to hear that this is giving you ideas- these inks definitely have a ton of potential. Please let me know if you end up inking that rhino or anything else! :-)
Thanks for showing those inks, I bought the white one for zenithal preshading, but wanted to try more colours...and now it will be easier to choose colours after I saw how they look on models.
I've been watching back through your old airbrush videos as I recently got one myself, and this one got me thinking about all of the fountain pen ink I've got floating around from my last hobby. (I do still use my pens, but have put the brakes on getting new ink and paper for now😅) There are some pretty interesting iridescent inks there that might be interesting to apply. I've got one for instance that is a dark blue normally, but if it gets dense enough turns into a iridescent red
Damn You! Now I have an assortment of inks coming my way for use on my armies! I need to stop watching your super-awesome videos! They inspire me waay too much! :-)
I'm so glad I decided to try out these inks. I was using Royal Talens' Amsterdam line of acrylic inks for zenithal highlighting. I was constantly getting a speckled texture at the transitions. I thought it was my technique or my airbrush that was causing the issue (I'm still a noobie painter). After switching to Liquitex, my transitions are coming out buttery smooth. Thanks for the tip!
I was just sitting there procrastinating today, but this video really put me in the mood to some painting! got the whole night ahead of me now :) thanks for making such awesome videos!
Hi Brent, I do enjoy watching your videos I may say that A lot but I am a newer mini painter. Well I have not painted models in over 20 years so I have so much to re-learn! This is a rather old video so I imagine you have solved your blue highlight conundrum. If you are still looking for an ink answer, you might try a blue that is transparent, it will layer differently than ink with the white pigment,(like some cerulean) which tends to be opaque. You can also try to use color shift to highlight, go to a violet transparent ink for shifting your blue inks to lighter or darker! Just a splash can change an image drastically so I imagine it is the same for a mini? I hope to see more and learn more from you and your channel. Take care and be safe!
This is a great idea for just trying something out. I have issues getting started sometimes, but if I go into it with the attitude that this doesn't have to be the final product, I'd probably get more minis painted.
This video got me to Sub, love your attitude, love your Bob Ross voice style, makes it enjoyable to listen along. Thanks for the great video. Off to look through your others :D
Love love love! I'm a big fan of acrylic artist inks with a brush too. At the release of this video, Michaels has a 40% off sale going on for fine arts supplies too!!
Thanks! I almost ordered from Michaels online because of that 40% off deal, but they were only selling the inks in 2-packs. Maybe I should stock up on a few colors... I'll have to check out your channel later tonight, I'm seeing some topics that I like :-)
Another thing i noticed about the Liquitex Ink(dont know about the Daler kind) but the Liquitex flows off the airbrush REALLY nice, It makes painting white parts really easy. Plus they are all really strong, They have become my go-to for painting my AT models since the colors are so bright and vibrant.
Thank you so much for this. If nothing else the white for Zenithal is something everyone should switch to. It was so bad for me I always have a sponge moistened with airbrush cleaner so when the tip dry/clog happens every 30-45 sec using white primer and clean and be back in business relatively quickly (as quick as you can be having to do something so often that isn't your paint job.) Thanks again!
Its probably been answered a dozen times since; but, bone is a good highlight to many blues that arent too electric. If I recall, Old school Alaitoc Eldar and dire avengers were tastefully highlighted with bone/blue. I may be wrong on that, but bone does work to get creamy blue highlights, likely very useful on that tyranid. Great videos, and awesome exploration of the hobby keeping fun first. I felt great watching you and wanted to carry on with my own minis! Subbed!
Great video and very interesting! When using the opaque inks, if you thin them down with whatever thinner you use for airbrushing, it will help with the transparency and keep the pre-shade. As for blue, you could always use a bone/khaki color to highlight it if you want to do something different. Again, great video!
Glad you liked it, and thanks for the tips! There's a whole lot of stuff I want to try once I start thinning down these inks :-) I'll try the bone too!
Cracking video. Liked and subbed. As hobbyists we could definitely learn from your "have a go" attitude. The highlights for me (excuse the pun) were; the white ink for pre-shading and that yellow crane is gorgeous. Love your work.
Thanks, and welcome to Goobertown! I probably have more test models around here than finished models. Lots of fun experiments to make videos out of :-)
I look forward to watching your experiments unfold! Hope you don't mind me asking but how do you think the inks would paint on with a manual brush?
@@goblinking2012 I haven't tried yet (more experimenting to do) but Vince Venturella seems to like them! ruclips.net/video/vCOZjijoxcA/видео.html

@@GoobertownHobbies Dammit Kenny!
I definitely agree, I much prefer his more relaxed approach.
Your calm demeanor and methodical approach to painting minis makes me glad you're into this hobby and not murder.
Oh yeah, this hobby helps keep my mind off of things :-)
The cat footage was unnecessary and added nothing to the video. On the other hand, needs more cat.
Right on!
Awesome work, my friend. For me, the real winners were the smoothness of the liquid white pigment through the airbrush, and the vibrancy of the yellow.

WHOA! I didn't know that, this particular model is one that I got from ebay :-) Thanks for the identify!
The models look cool even before you add the colored ink. Some cool shading with that white ink.
Oh yeah! the grayscale transitions are tons of fun :-)
This channel has everything l need. Advice, music, cats, and the channel name puts a smile on me. SUBBED
Liked and subbed- this was a really informative and well narrated video that showed me a really cool tool that I had no idea existed. Thanks!
Welcome aboard! I'm glad the video was useful, I'll try to do more stuff like this :-)
This is a great idea for just trying something out. I have issues getting started sometimes, but if I go into it with the attitude that this doesn't have to be the final product, I'd probably get more minis painted.
Interesting video. I’m going to steal using white ink to zenithal prime minis with an airbrush. Thanks!
Thanks for the review .. I was hesitant to get FW paint
You're welcome- have fun with it! :-)
This video got me to Sub, love your attitude, love your Bob Ross voice style, makes it enjoyable to listen along. Thanks for the great video. Off to look through your others :D
Welcome! I'm glad that you're here. I'll try to keep making stuff with that relaxing vibe :-)
I just picked up some winsor and Newton inks for glazing but I will definitely pick up more now I've seen this
Excellent!! Have fun :-)
Hey man, just liked and subscribed. Really loved your attitude towards the hobby and that you just had some fun. Keep up the good work!
Welcome! I'm glad you're here. More videos like this are under construction :-)
I just subbed to your channel I really like your video. your humor is great keep it up.
Thanks! Welcome aboard :-)
Love love love! I'm a big fan of acrylic artist inks with a brush too. At the release of this video, Michaels has a 40% off sale going on for fine arts supplies too!!
Thanks! I almost ordered from Michaels online because of that 40% off deal, but they were only selling the inks in 2-packs. Maybe I should stock up on a few colors...
I'll have to check out your channel later tonight, I'm seeing some topics that I like :-)
@@GoobertownHobbies I stocked up :)
@@CraftsAndMinis Hahahaha, niceeeeeee
Another thing i noticed about the Liquitex Ink(dont know about the Daler kind) but the Liquitex flows off the airbrush REALLY nice, It makes painting white parts really easy. Plus they are all really strong, They have become my go-to for painting my AT models since the colors are so bright and vibrant.
Well now I gotta go get some ink, thank you for this video!
Have fun! :-)
Your videos inspired me to buy an airbrush, ive been experimenting with a zenith highlights on some poxwalkers... really happy with the results!
Interesting video! Given me the idea to thin and airbrush some GW glaze to use in similar fashion
Give it a shot and let me know how it works :-)
This is a really cool thing to use for people who need to spray vehicles and buildings.
Yeah! I'll need to try it on some terrain soon :-)
Thank you so much for this. If nothing else the white for Zenithal is something everyone should switch to. It was so bad for me I always have a sponge moistened with airbrush cleaner so when the tip dry/clog happens every 30-45 sec using white primer and clean and be back in business relatively quickly (as quick as you can be having to do something so often that isn't your paint job.) Thanks again!
You bet! Yeah I was pretty stoked about that white ink :-) Have fun with it!
Its probably been answered a dozen times since; but, bone is a good highlight to many blues that arent too electric. If I recall, Old school Alaitoc Eldar and dire avengers were tastefully highlighted with bone/blue. I may be wrong on that, but bone does work to get creamy blue highlights, likely very useful on that tyranid. Great videos, and awesome exploration of the hobby keeping fun first. I felt great watching you and wanted to carry on with my own minis! Subbed!
In love with you channel man! keep it up
Oh hey thanks! That's great to hear :-)
quite an enjoyable vid my dude!
I have a small selection of DW inks, and you have given me ideas.
Great video and very interesting! When using the opaque inks, if you thin them down with whatever thinner you use for airbrushing, it will help with the transparency and keep the pre-shade. As for blue, you could always use a bone/khaki color to highlight it if you want to do something different. Again, great video!
Glad you liked it, and thanks for the tips! There's a whole lot of stuff I want to try once I start thinning down these inks :-) I'll try the bone too!
