I give up, I just got my "Master" airbrush to do some Duracoat jobs and I must need a special connector for my compressor…because none of my stuff fits. So can someone explain this or give me a link(on ebay) to what I need to get started, like a hose or connector piece. thank you for your time

Basically on any kind of fabric. I am trying to design some shirts for some people who need them but i need to know what paint won’t fade or come off when the clothing is put to wash. I need this a lot so i really appreciate the advice.
Thank you.

Ok so my Cousin used me as her model for her College Art Project. She took Photo’s of me, in position, and loaded them into a software programme, I forget the name. She then printed out copies of the Photos with faint lines only, sort of like a 3d Animation Computer Graphic that they use in Motion Capture on films. They wern’t like the actual portrait, it was just like say a straight line where the nose should be, etc.

But just the black areas came out as faint lines. She then filled in the picture for hours, looking at me, using me as her model, using a combination of ink, charcoal and pencil. When the picture was scanned back into the computer, stand out areas of ink, charcoal and pencil were merged together and any background stains removed.

Absolutely no airbrushing/editing was done to the actual sketch, just the background.

The result was a fully sketched portrait which looks like its been handrawn (cos it has), but also looks like an actual photo – the idea is nobody is supposed to be able to tell!

Can anyone help me?

How to remember compression basics… Some other definitions: 1. If you see ‘knee’ on your compressor, That’s how fast, (once the compressor has made it through it’s ‘attack’ stage), it turns down. ‘soft’ knee is like a person gently turning the volume down, ‘hard’ is a violently turned down volume knob. 2. Peak vs. RMS – Very simply put, Peak compression will grab audio content faster than RMS. Peak looks to specific leaps in volume, where RMS is more of an average compression that is not only easier on the ears, but smoother and more transparent. Use Peak compression for more percussive content, and RMS for audio stuff that requires a gentler hand. 3. ‘Auto Gain’ or ‘Makeup Gain’ – Like I say at the end of the video, Compression is actually allowing you to turn up the overall volume of the material now that the pesky leaps in volume, or ‘transients’ are taken care of. ‘Auto Gain’ will try to do this automatically. You’ll probably still need to adjust it though.

I have been looking into many tutorials of model painting. Shading models is very appealing to me, but an airbrush is very expensive. I have build about 14 gundam models so far, and I want to start shading. I have been painting them with hand brushes and acrylic paint though. I don’t think I can scrounge up enough money to get an airbrush anytime soon. So, how can I shade a model using spray paint and a brush? I am only wondering because with an airbrush you can thin the paint and such, but I don’t know how to do that with spray paint. And I wouldn’t know the brushing technique to shade something.

Here is one link that required an airbrush

Thanks in advance!

I purchased some masonite board from home depot that I want to airbrush on. What is the best way to prep the surface? scuff it? prime or gesso it?

how do you make photos look flawless with that airbrush thing ? what tool do you use and is there a technique to doing it ? it’s so confusing. i’m using that thing called ‘gimp’ – i think it’s virtually the same though yeah ?

thanks.

Airbrushing mailboxes is a great way to personalize it, and any number of scenes or images can be painted on the mailbox surface.
