      When I first started I thought, how can these people work with these things doing this! They must be incredible. Well, there are still some phenomenal artists, but once you get the hang of it. It's just a tool. Anyone can get good at most things. All the human body and mind needs is repetition. I encourage you to do just that and you can be phenomenal also. We all started on the same road. Just keep on walkin and don't stop until you reach your destination. You can go as far as you want. It's non of my business. I'm just saying.

    This is the most important and most overlooked concept in airbrushing. You’d be surprised how much this minimizes dry tip too. So many videos out there addressing dry tip and no one mentions this very important technique. Well done mate

    • @AirbrushAsylum
      @AirbrushAsylum  3 года назад +19

      Thank you so much and yes it definitely minimizes tip drying , so happy that this video has helped as I personally have seen people who are frustrated trying to do it the wrong way and then I say, “try keeping the air pressed down and just control the paint using the trigger” and all of a sudden ‘presto’ they start to progress 👍🏻

    • @TT_Veteran

      @maurusloeffel Год назад +1

      I totally agree! I‘m fairly new in airbrushing my scale models and I‘ve always had these spitting problems after 5-10 min usage. I‘ve watched dozens of tutorials and spoke to thousands of people and no one mentioned this! If it wasn‘t so late in the evening (taking care of my neighbours) I‘d try it out right now - but then it is tomorrow ^^
      I hope so much that this solves my problem and newbie-frustration!

    @testticklehead 2 года назад +30

    Tried airbrushing dozens of times over the past 7 years. I always got horrible results, felt defeated-pissed off, and threw my airbrush back in a drawer. I've watched a ton of RUclips vids for tips but none ever mentioned this method of keeping the air flowing. I tried it tonight for the first time and the results were incredible. I can't thank you enough for this video and your other vids which explain the proper psi and paint thinning for beginners. I'm actually sitting here trying to figure out how many things I can airbrush.

    IN TWO AND A HALF YEARS OF USING AIRBRUSHES TO PAINT MINIATURES NO ONE BOTHERED TO MENTION I WAS SUPPOSED TO KEEP THE AIR RUNNING UNTIL NOW
    I always was like "what's with all this damn friggin clogging and stuff?! I thought I'm doing it all right!!!" It's been almost a year since I did any airbrushing and probably all b/c either no one ever mentioned as much to me or I never caught it when they did. I'm coming back, paint stained filter spray booth! I'm comin back to you!!! :'-D

    • @AirbrushAsylum
      @AirbrushAsylum  3 года назад +19

      That is fantastic...I’m sorry you had to put the airbrush down for some time due to the frustrations, but I also understand as trying to paint incorrectly creates issues like tip drying, which then causes clogging etc . I am SO happy that this video has helped you out and very glad that you are getting back into airbrushing , happy painting 👍🏻

    Technically dual action but in reality, leaving air on and doing single paint action is a great tip especially for those of us that can’t chew gum and walk. Thanks!

    • @AirbrushAsylum
      @AirbrushAsylum  3 года назад +6

      Yes , so true ....I often tell my students that mastering this technique is like patting your head and rubbing your tummy at the same time lol 😂

    • @superkillr
      @superkillr 3 года назад +2

      Almost nobody considers the "dual" action of the airbrush both paint and air manipulation. The air was always supposed to be 100%, and the paint adjustable. Airbrush Asylum isn't showing you some alternative way to use the airbrush.

  • @joshwebsterracing5380
    @joshwebsterracing5380 3 года назад +10

    Oh my god I had no idea I should’ve kept the air running after finishing my stroke! That makes so much sense! I was getting annoying splatters when I went to start a new section and constant blockages and I kept thinking I had a problem with the actual airbrush itself. I can’t wait to try this new tip! Thank you so much!

    Great fundamental to share. I found that a hunk of dense foam (cut from the case my airbrush came in) stuck to the trigger with double sided tape, considerably helps with control and fatigue. Essentially, the foam makes a taller and more responsive trigger that really helps. Give it a shot. I used Guerilla Glue brand tape so it's good and on there.

I was quickly becoming disenfranchised with he whole process, as I could not keep the airbrush from splattering and clogging after only a moment of use. I just employed your advice/technique, and have already improved quality of life with my airbrush. You sir, are a blessing, and have saved me from countless hours of frustration I'm sure. Got my sub, great tip and keep 'em coming.

So I have subscribed.

    I do airbrushing on cars. I've used the Sears Model 364-15506 airbrush for over 40 years. You can mix just as much paint as you need. If you use a traditional spray gun or even an aerosol can, you have a large spray pattern of like 6-8 inches for a tiny 1/4 chip. With an airbrush, you have precision control and can actually get to the point, with a little practice, where you can perfectly fill in a tiny scratch with no masking and little to no overspray. With acrylic lacquer, the paint goes on very thin (with a 50/50 paint to thinner ratio) so you have to hit it several times. But with the airbrush, putting down multiple thin coats is very easy and clean to do. Just like in the video, it's important to get an airbrush that has variable paint output. Kind of like a variable speed drill. With the adjustable airbrush, you pull the trigger back to increase the flow of paint. A lady I know is so precise, she can airbrush intricate designs on ladies' fingernails. It's good to practice with water-based paints on scrap material first. Before you know it, you'll be an old pro! Great video!!

    Thanks for these tips! I'm one of these 'old-school' types who only used either spraycans and/or brushes. I finally decided to take the plunge to try airbrushing 1:72 scale model kits (Top Gun Maverick triggered me into buying all those fighterjet model kits and stuff lol) and watched dozens of YT videos regarding a good beginner airbrush that won't break the bank as well as how to thin acrylics vs enamels (and finding out that enamel is generally discouraged because it's a pain to clean your airbrush if it dries).
    I settled on a nice kit for just €64 including shipping (if you have Amazon Prime) with a portable compressor and a hose plus all kinds of other goodies which seemed to have double the battery life of the other portable ones while also coming with a pretty decent airbrush (especially for the price) according to a pro airbrush channel who was throroughly impressed by it.
    However, nobody in all those videos I watched showed me these basic tips; especially the paint-splatter one. So thanks a lot for this. Now if I get paint splatter on my F-14 or F/A-18 I will know what I did wrong. 🙂

    Great basics and great video!! Never used an air sprayer but have thought of trying one. This video helps dispel a lot of worries!

    Your video completely changed how I use my airbrush. Now I have much better control. In the 18 months or so since I first watched this, my models look so much better. It has also given me greater confidence using various shading techniques.
