There is no short cut your ability to
airbrush fine lines; detail will come only thru PRACTICE, PRACTICE the basics
of airbrushing.
Below is not for the faith hearted, mess up and you
could bend the tip of your needle or worse. Below is nothing someone new to
airbrushing should try until they are very comfortable using their airbrush.
Should you bend the tip of the needle getting the needle out with damaging the
inter seals of the airbrush will be hard so only use this technique if you are
very familiar and comfortable using your airbrush.
There are many
airbrush artist who can render fine lines, great detail work with the needle
cap on please take this into consideration when thinking about using this
technique.
When all is said and done it's not the airbrush that creates
the fine lines, detail work it's the artist operating the airbrush. The
airbrush is just a tool learn to operate it with a great deal of proficiency
and airbrushing fine lines, detail work will not be a problem.
This is
an old airbrush trick that I'm not sure anyone can take credit for its been
around forever. For those of you new to airbrushing and for those with
experiance who haven't tried it I thought it would be worth posting again. It's
a very simple little trick as you can see below.
****THIS ONLY WORKS WITH AIRBRUSHS WHICH HAVE
A NEEDLE CAP**** |

|
In most case's by simple removing the
needle cap from your airbrush while tring to render nice clean detail you'll
find it alot easier to accomplish. Just remember to put it back on after you
use it :-). |

Pictured above my airbrush with the
needle cap removed. Give it a try I'm sure you will find it works just as well
for you as it has for me over the years.
I will add more to How To
Airbrush.Com as often as I can so please book mark this web site and stop back
often. |
