[BerserkCustomPaint]

@982WILL

Make me an offer. I'll have to find this painting. I think I have it in one of my portfolio bags somewhere.

I just wanted to say that I REALLY enjoyed this video! I just subscribed and can't wait to see the others. Quick question....do you still do car designs? Might I ask where you're based out of? I live in St. Louis, MO and I'm looking to have some work performed.

I've always loved drawing, then in college I found my passion for charcoal creations. This video, however, has inspired me to really invest some time and money, as this seems so much more rewarding! Great vid!

Hello, can you help me with my airbrush?...i have an eclipse CS, i use liquid watercolor paint and when i spray at about 25psi, it spray just fine, but when i increase the pressure to about 30psi paint sprays when i press down for air only...i checked the needle and its properly sitted on the nozzle, i dont want to force the needle in because i might break the nozzle...i also checked the nozzle and it also looks fine...can you help me what might be the problem with my airbrush?

Thanks

Just for clarification, there are 'open-topped cups' for side-feed airbrushes. I use a side-feed Iwata and am able to do gradual shading by adding a couple drops to the open-topped cups. Thanks for all your efforts.

[CliveyBoyClarke]

Fantastic video, thank you. Listening to you talk is very inspiring, you make me want to practice my artwork...

[ricky20000]

i was about to buy the iwata eclipse but i saw that they had like different models or something because i saw two and they had different numbers and the price was different,,if theyre different which one exactly is the one you use

[TheOllyj]

great videos, very helpfull. i've always been a keen drawer and have just bought my first airbrush, quick question, if i draw with my left hand, should i hold the airbrush in my right and control with my left? or vice versa?

keep up the great work, very inspiring!

@SuperJPLR @SuperJPLR If it just quit putting out paint while you were spraying you probably have paint dried on the tip. Take off the aircap/nozzle ass'y and check. Wipe off the needle and you clean out the aircap/nozzle with a Q-tip wet with thinner, or you may have to use a VERY fine piece of wire. If all else fails, soak it overnight in thinner appropriate the paint you're using. I use ammonia for cleaning acrylics, lacquer thinner for everything else.
