Double post alert... Anyways, I feel pretty confident in my lines up to this point, they've made some serious strides in the last few months. The only problem? > Starting them is always a bitch. I'm taking a few attempts at facial features lately and once the line is "in flow" it comes out great, but getting the darn thing started sometimes makes me want to puke. This isn't so much with thicker lines as there is obviously alot more room for error. But it happens frequently with very thin fine lines like eyebrows, teeth, etc... Sometimes I feel like I know EXACTLY where the ideal flow point is to start the line, I push down for air, pull down for paint and here's usually what goes through my head: "Here it comes... yep real soon, little farther back on the trigger, come on paint I know your coming! damn not yet? little farther still?... almost, almost!.." = [BIG SLOPPY BLOB] followed by adequate line.
So in essence, the root of my problem is it always SEEMS that there is something funky going on with my paint to make it shoot out too at different points. Sounds like it too thick right? Well, the fix of this has not worked well either... Spidering central each time I try am trying to do the same exercise with thinner paint while up real close (with very low psi also). I use acrylics, right now createx which I am aware is not the Cadillac of airbrush paints but then again, the most common brand. Anyone have any further tips? I feel like I need to go back to paint thinning 101 because it seems like that is more of my problem than control at this point.
