Hello from Chelmsford, England

[Benjamin Klinck]

Hello


I'm new to airbrushing - infact, I'm awaiting for my paint (wicked colors) to arrive as we speak. I am (will be) using a Iwata HP-CH (I sold my rotting in the garage motorbike to get it).

As I just mentioned I am really new to this, so much so that I have not used an airbrush yet -I can't wait to start. I love some of the works in the gallery - amazing!

I will put my first pics on the forum gallery when I have one complete - please be gentle with me when I do.

look forward to meeting you all.

Ben

[Tufty]

Welcome Ben I'm a beginner from Devon uk. I have learnt a lot from just asking here. One tip I have with Wicked paint which I found great advice was start off reducing paint 1:1 with reducer. This seems to be a great starting point. As for white good luck . Enjoy!

 

[Benjamin Klinck]

Hi Tufty
Thank you for the welcome.
I like your eye!! What type blue did you use?
I saw Steve Driscolls "How too" Wicked skin tones video. He advised that he reduces everything 1:3 as a starting point. Im not sure if that carries over to all the colours though. But I am going to start off with 1:1 as you suggest.
What about white? I ordered Opaque and detail white...OMG... telllllllll meeeee...:cower:

 

[Tufty]

The white is hard to master but mitch highly reccommends the wicked detail white so you should be on a winner straight away. The blue is a wicked paint blue. Each colour to me seems different. I reduce my black 1:1 which I found was great to use but you can reduce way beyond that.

 

[Benjamin Klinck]

Thanks Tufty!

I'll post my first attempt's -Im not sure if I will have time for the eye competition but i'm going to give that picture a go anyway! again thank for your help.
