the whole video which i posted is about preping a shirt. But you have heat press temp also,like I mentioned.
Thx, just watched it while my pump was cooling down...
i didnt scroll down, pardon for the recent reply by me. [emoji14]
Flick on Flick off keep the air flowing..... Thank you for sharing... Will definitely try it too. Let the body move with the arms, keep the distance, watch the trigger action, watch the speed, and and and, so much to remember when one just starts. Airbrushtutor for me till now have the best advise, from shapes and lines, dots and dagger strokes reversed dagger exercises, I still think the most important thing is firstly to believe in yourself. Confidence is the key. To focus on one small section of a bigger picture, to imitate the reference over and over again and then only to put them all together, results speak for itself. Focus on the shapes, I dont know yet which I will be using, is it a dot, or a blended dot, is it a line, soft or rough, etc etc, so I try them all. I take a page divide into 8 blocks and trace the same part of a picture in all 8 blocks and try different movements until I figure out which set of movements to use when.... This helps me more than trying to use my airbrush as a coloring pencil... But I have to admit I will try the coloring book exercise, it might just work for me too.Why didn't I found this sooner... Each tutorial I watched or bought there was plenty of talking about dagger strokes and the usually stuff which beginner needs to learn. I was patience and I was doing bloody dagger strokes which are boring as hell. I almost rolled with my eyes when I was walking to my easel preparing my self to have another dagger stroke practise.
Stencil works is easy, so I will not waste your time. You make a stencil, you spray and you are done. But without stencils is a different thingBloody dagger strokes, dots and blends. I made so many of those , that I went one day to store and bought 500sheets of a3 paper so I will have enough for practising those. And they are booooooring...
So few days ago I was browsing this forum and looking at topics and all the knowledge forum members are willingly sharing about all stuff in airbrush world. And by accident I found post from Robbyrockett2 where he mentioned using color books for practise. I was thinking about that and went and print cars 3 picture, I put 30% grey and went to practise. Damn that was quite fun! And it was first, more like test. The next day I made the same with Dead pool and had a blast with it. I enjoyed practise, even if I had hard time with it. But I enjoy it. And today I am going to do spiderman!
This is so much fun. I really had enough of those dagger bloody strokes and I enjoy doing color books. So bottom line, thanks Robbyrocket for best advice, which was not meant to me. But still, this is probably the best advice for noobs and their motivation.
Here is a picture of my ugly dead pool, I know it is bad, I am realistic, but I enjoyed while I was doing it. It so ugly ,that I was thinking not to post it, but what the hell. If some noob see how ugly is, maybe he will feel better with his work

This is my next exercise. Already printed in 30% grey and waiting on my easel for this evening
There will be lots of dagger strokes -.-
I print in 30% grey, so I don't use so much ink and I can see better my results. Lines on printed paper are visible, but not to much.
45 to 50 psi is enough for a T shirt
a few words to share, "double actioning" thats what ab tutor said. i figured it out how i need my muscle memory for it when im stuck with tip dry issues and turn out to be i didnt do well on "double actioning", never leave it.
It's like re-training the brain... before I try a dot or a line I have a practice round on my scrap paper mimicking the procedure or steps... air in, soft trigger movement, flick on flick off, distance, slow/fast, paint off, air stays on... again and again until I get them action right, but the minute I copy the procedure, I know there is finer detail that is perfect, then come the fear, what if I pull the trigger to far back? I need to trust myself more and confidence that I can execute with precision....
muscle memory is just a never ending practice imo.
Agreed, there are still times I go into ‘aerosol can’ action!
you just come up with the precise term! gosh, i cant hardly figure it out when it comes to explaining the opposite of ab control.
..
.... mine looks like someone that had an external gas explosion in sections .....
