Ahhh okay I understand! Thank you Immortal you are awesome! Would you also be able to clarify exactly the difference between fine, medium and heavy heads are for airbrushes? I am guessing Fine means fine lined, so are the words assigned to specific needle sizes? And also, can all needles sizes fit in any airbrush as long as you have the right nozzle aswell?
I don't paint curved surfaces so I've never come across those types of issues and I can see that the gravity feed cup on top would be more convenient.Sure there are physical differences Immortal, I was talking about air pressure. I have side-feed and gravity feed airbrushes and I can put gravity cups and siphon feed cups on my side-feed and I hardly notice any difference in psi needed between any set up.
That's why I said it's what a person prefers and how it feels that's important. If I found the side-feed cups getting in the way of how I work and the gravity feed didn't, I'd prefer a gravity feed too
Thank you Melbee! Your tutorials are absolutely amazing for beginners like me, continue to make many more, they are definitely helpful as you do give an indepth detailed tutorial on the specific subject you are on. Thank you yet again for that information I will definitely keep that in mind!Hi Kai, I absolutely love my Iwata side-feed airbrushes and they are very versatile because you can put anything from a very small cup up to a 60ml bottle on them. They don't need much more air pressure than a gravity feed, the difference is not worth fussing about. It's a matter of what a person prefers to use and how it feels in the hand.
All you need to worry about is adjusting the air pressure till you get it spraying how you want, there is no set rule that all 0.3mm airbrushes need Xpsi and all 0.2mm airbrushes need Ypsi. Different makes and models will need different psi and different thickness of paint will also need different psi settings. The only big difference is a siphon feed with a bigger nozzle size like the 0.5mm and up, will need a lot more air pressure and you will have to make sure you have a compressor that can deal with that.
Good luck
When you say tutorials, do you mean my Airbrush Mel videos on YouTube? I've just recorded a whole load of new ones showing the methods I used to paint my Barbara Stanwyck's Eye so when I've edited those they will be going up soon. I don't think of them as tutorials, I'm just passing on some information that I've learned and maybe it will help other folks too Yes your videos on YouTube, I hope to be creating some at some point however it will be an all-round channel on everything in my life, not just for airbrushing haha! But yes that information is priceless, it really does help a lot!Thanks a lot Kai
Good luck with your own videos, they are a lot of work though, mostly the editing. It's taken me a long time to cut down on my "ums" and "errs" but I have learnt how to edit them out now when they do pop up Ha Ha Ha!!Yeah I could guess there is a lot of editing to do for the videos! We all make mistakes and go blank! Thank you for the luck as I definitely will need it for when I start to upload!Oh that's really good to hear, I'm happy to help when I can
Thank you! I will definitely be posting up some work soon! My Krome will be delivered this week.
Yeah I only have Opaque Createx Paints, and indeed I was going to use them with my Krome, why should I not as I would like to be enlightened as to what the outcome would be? Thanks jgny1!
The thing is I need to use textile paint as that is what my main projects will be, so which paint could you recommend for the Krome?
I am from the UK and I am not doing T-Shirts just yet, I will be later on however my main projects will be sneakers/trainers, in which I don't really need a Siphon and my preference is gravity fed
I only have small sessions, I don't go on constantly, I will only do one part of the sneaker per day as I don't have as many hours as I'd like to Filtering? Is there any specific way to go about filtering the paint? I never knew you could filter paint
?
