Ok, this is going to be a long post.. very long (and my natal tongue is not English so it may be harder to read )
When I started painting I bought this Airbrush
I bought it because I wanted to prime my minis using it, I also bought this Vallejo primer kit for airbrush
My cheap airbrush got wasted after a few sessions so I bought another in my country , another cheap airbrush but he is alive now so it seems to be better
A couple days ago I saw this video Painting Nighthaunt
I love the results, they look 1 million times better than my dull green/white versions so I decide to get it a try, I tried to strip the paint using Isoppilich alcohol but It toke me forever so I just prime them again over the paint
I found a lot of troubles to try to follow her,
She makes Zenithal priming but I cant even get her results
The Morghast primed picture is the results I want to get but I cant get those gradients even with the priming where I use the pre thinned airbrush paints from vallejo
1. It toke me a lot of time ti mix the proper balance of ink and medium glazing to get the paint flowing from the airbrush, I use Vallejo paints, Citadel paints and sometimes the Army painter paints.
In my country there is no easy way to get good paints, I have to import every single one of them directly from Amazon, I wasted a lot of paint to get one mini painted.
2. It seems I lack the basic skills to use the airbrush because bo matter what I do I always end up with the paint being to watery that slips or the airbrush just "spot" the paint spitting uneven paint
I clean the airbrush when changing colors but I always get that splash pattern you can see in my pictures above and I dont know if it is because I am bad, or my airbrush is bad or I wasn't able to thin properly the paints or other thing.
The compressor does not have any indication of which PSI we are using so I assume left is less and right is more to adjust things.
I watched several awesome tutorials like the Vinces Venturella Hobby Cheating series but I cant follow him, Because I am not able to do the proper zenithal priming I cant neither follow his glazes tutorials.
I also love an follow Miniac but I wasnt able to found in his channel what I am looking for.
All this long post is to ask if someone has a tutorial or can point to me one where I can get the basics skills of the airbrush, I do not pretend to be Sam Lenz but I would love to get my mini painting to the next level, to get better gradients, effects and colors.
Thanks everyone in advance
