Hi Ryan,

I'm from Malaysia, It's quite difficult for me to get airbrush supplies in this country and i'm toying around with Airbrushing as a hobby. I use alcohol 99% to clean my airbrush after i use alcohol based paints. Will it spoil the innards of the airbrush that way? Thanks

@kenfleang

I don't know about alcohol. Never used it. Try ordering your paint online and use water based paints.

Hey Ryan What is the small dial on the bottom of your micron used for?

@BrandonSontagDrums

Its a regulator. I hardly use mine. I'll use it to pull off a few effects, but I mostly regulate my airbrush in the hose. It's just a habit thing I guess.

hi, i asked you some questions airbrushing earlier, but i've actually been watching your airbrush videos like all day so my questions got answered. i really appreciate your videos, they are really helping me out understaning airbrush tech...i have one request (so far hehe), could you do a video about how to do the roses like the ones you did in the black and grey video of the girl in hoodie with roses...

Thanks for the videos Ryan! I have started teaching my daughter to AB. She is 14 and when i am not working with her i let her watch videos and she has really enjoyed your videos! Great thing you are doing here! I have taken classes but i know some cannot afford them and videos like yours i know from some of the post, has taken away the frustration and brought the enjoyment back for a lot of people that were probably ready to give it up!

Hey Ryan this may be a stupid question but im looking into a few things and i was wondering if your airbrushing is the main source of income and if you make enough to live comfortably?
