I’ve been watching your channel for a while now., I’m 70 years old and use to do airbrush on vans and motorcycle’s back in the 70s. I used a Binks airbrush (which I still have,1 brand new) and I love the way you teach.. I’m trying to get back into this hobby because I love it! You give me hope that I can do this again.. my hand isn’t as smooth and my eyes aren’t as good but because of your sight I have “fun”! Thanks again
That's awesome! Thank you for the kind words! It puts a smile on my face when my content has inspired someone to pick up the brush again! I can relate to some of that. My eyes aren't as good as they once were either. The smoothness should come back (as much as it can depending on other issues you may have anyway) with some practice.
I’m 66 and getting back into it, after many years away. Started in the late 80’.. Always freehand so I’m gonna try some stencils.. still setting up. Some of my paints are still good to my amazement. Great video
@@marymadalenem2351 Stencils and freehand shields are great tools to have in your arsenal. As awesome as the airbrush is, it does have limitations. I prefer to work freehand most of the time too, but when I need a super sharp line there is no substitute for a freehand shield or stencil.
God bless and good luck, young man! 🙂
Are you on Facebook or instagram I’m in my mid 50s I am a body man and painter of custom coaches and I paint for my local hd dealer
Ive been an artist for close to 50 years and never airbrushed you have gotten me hooked. Thank you
This video was NOT too long Trevor! I really enjoyed it. I am brand new to airbrushing and this is a HUGE help! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. The airbrush community is better for it brother! 👍🔥🤙
Thank you, my friend!
Good to see you back again Trevor, I done an eagle with you a few years back, it was my first attempt at airbrushing more than blending. I sent you a copy on an Email and you put me right on what to do with my mistake. It now hangs proudly in my daughter's home and everyone admires it. So, Thank You again. My grandson is now taking up the airbrushing, so I have pointed him in your direction.
That's awesome! I appreciate the support, my friend!
Excellent!!!! Thank you so much for being here!
Thank you!
Thanks for the patience...I know someone who will appreciate the total breakdown of even the more common sense type of areas. Great job 👍
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words very much!
I remember in my dark and distant past 30+ yrs, a college lecturer telling me that there are No bad students! Only bad teachers. You Sir are the best teacher that I have found on UA-cam! You have kept me entertained whilst teaching me more in one video than all of the other artists.
I appreciate the kind words very much! Thank you!
@@wickedartstudio .
Welcome back, Trevor! Great video, as usual.
Hey Karl! Thank you my friend!
Great to have you back Trevor, you were missed.
Thank Johl! I appreciate that very much!
Much easier than learning all the different types of tools out there for creating design on any number of options...signs, billboards, windows, cars, etc. I was so into learning how to make my own stencils that I would make in layers..the first one would have the least detail and be mostly background then the last would maybe have lettering. I wanted to create stencils that would mimic decals but would be painted on. Meaning decals that would never peal. Then I was diagnosed w cancer and the better part of 18 yrs got away from me. Now I ha debilitating arthritis which is why I think the air brush will work so much better for me. I think it will really go well w my lack of dexterity. Ur video has made me remember where I wanted to go w somewhat of a career. Nothing wrong w starting at 53! I took a slight detour to treat my cancer. I literally never thought of trying to start now untill I ran into ur video. Wow that does look wicked! Much better if it's not completely symmetrical!
Thank you for the kind words! It always brings a smile to my face when my content has inspired someone to get back into airbrushing or to start airbrushing! If you ever have questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
Great that you’re back Trevor and a brilliant video 👍🏻
Hey Kevin! Thanks for the kind words and support my friend!
Great vid and beautiful result with that skull :)
Personally I didn't mind the length of the video, it was nice to see how you tackle the different areas and how you approached the work to reach a very nice end result.
I appreciate the kind words my friend! In the end, I think I'm okay with the length of the video too (except it takes a lot more time for me to create and finish). I was hesitant initially. At the time of this reply, the average view time is only just over twelve minutes in the analytics which doesn't look promising. However, the more I've thought about it, the more I think it is beneficial for those that actually want to sit down and watch an entire instructional video.
Nice to see you back Trevor, I hope all is good with you and yours. Good tips by the way..
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words very much!
Good to know that you're back.! You're the best always willing to teach us I personally have grow a lot from you .
Thank you Danilo! That means a lot to me!
Nice to see you back!
Hey Adam! Thank you my friend!
Amazing work, and thank you!!!
I've learned so much with this video.
How you explained all the details is so helpful.
"Less is more" I never thought of that before lol
Airbrushing is new to me and I'm having so much fun.
Again, Thank You!!!
Thank you! The kind words are very much appreciated!
Thanks so much for sharing your skills and talents. I'm not a big skull guy but I've always gained incredible knowledge from your vids.. I especially appreciate the tips on the chemistry involved to have enjoyable experiences instead of screaming at a bottle of paint!
I appreciate the kind words, thank you!
Nice work ❤
Hi Trev
Nice work my friend.
Very informative and well explained. You said the video was longer than you wanted. I personnally like the longer tutorials as it gives you a lot more content to watch again and take it in.
Great to see you back again.
Guy
Hey Guy! As always, I appreciate the kind words and support my friend! The length actually turned out much better than I initially thought it was going to be. I really thought this video was going to be closer to two hours when I sat down and started the editing process. I think just under an hour is reasonable.
Alot of this was stuff I've learned thru trial and error. But some of the little tips really stand out, and will probably help (tape overspray dam was a cool idea).
I'm going to sit down and try to make a von dutch flying eyeball stencil, and a real fire stencil.
I bought a couple of sets that came with enough extra material around the edges that I can make at least a few of my own for 1/10 scale rc bodies. Was also thinking about trying to use some clear lexan for a couple stencils
Thanks for the kind words! Yes, clear Lexan can be used for creating your own stencils and/or freehand shields. Really, just about anything can be used for that purpose. Anytime I buy a product that is packaged in a clear plastic material, I try to save the clear plastic for the same reason. It doesn't cost you anything extra, and if you mess it up, you'll have more material to try again.
Good to see you again, Trevor!
I was so excited from the beginning of the day, when I saw the notification of the new video....and at the end, I'm glad that this was a longer video, cause there where soooo much need to fill up with your content! (Hopefully that does not sound weird :D)
By the way....it was a very good video and explanation, for my skill-level, to keep on practacing!
So double-thx!
Hi Julian! Thank you so much for the kind words (and no, none of that sounded weird, lol)! It's funny, I didn't realize how much I actually missed creating videos until I started working on this one. I enjoy teaching, but virtual challenges are very different than those experienced in a live setting. Reading comments like yours reassures that I must be doing something right (at least some of the time). So, thank you again!
nice to see you back
Thank you! I'm glad to be back!
Welcome back, in regards to positioning the angry eyes, maybe when doing the gum line you could also do the lower part of the nose socket this should give you enough reference for positioning the angry eyes if you lined up the nose socket from them as the sockets look to be close to the same size/shape if maybe not exactly the same as it's hard to tell on screen. Great video.
Hey Darren! Thank you for the kind words my friend! I initially thought the same as far as painting the nose socket, or a portion of it from the normal set of eyes first; however, the nose socket is a very different shape between the two options in order to fit the respective eye choice. The overall size of each choice is about the same, which is why I tried to use the line directly below the nose on the regular set of eyes to line up the angry eyes. Looking back, I think the angry eyes option would be more visually appealing if that line was omitted so the nose and eye sockets could be moved further down closer to the gum line. In the end, I think it turned out okay though.
Great job my friend
Hey Pete! As always, I appreciate the kind words my friend!
Hey man, great to see you back!!! Decided to go on a new chapter last night. That stencil you own is amazing.
@Hawkinberryki Lutherlr thank you so much!
Thanks Josh!
@@wickedartstudio 😊 absolutely!!
🎉what is this
Welcome Back Trevor. Hope everything is going well for you and your family. And Happy Thanksgiving.
Thank you Paul! We are well. I hope your family had a Happy Thanksgiving as well!
he is back after a long time 👍👍
Hi Mohammed! Yes, I'm back and happy to be back! It has been a long time and I apologize for that my friend.
Great to see you are back! Great video! I always learn something watching your videos. I like to go back and re-watch your videos that pertain to what I'm working on. I just re-watched your video on doing the Hulk in candy. Products have changed a bit, but I find it's still relevant when you keep in mind the product changes. Keep up the great work, I really appreciate your hard work making these educational videos!
Hello Billy! Thank you for the kind words and support my friend! I'm glad to be back and didn't realize how much I actually missed creating videos until I started putting this one together. Reading comments like yours reassures I'm doing something right (at least some of the time) which makes the amount of time I spend creating these videos worth it on my end.
Siiick tips thanks!!
Thank you!
Hi Trevor 👋 Welcome back..as I have said before, injoy your videos & advice on how to get better, thank you for your time!!! Happy Thanksgiving
Hi Rich! Thank you and I'm glad to see your name in the comments! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours as well!
As reference for eyes could you fog in the nose from bottom skull and use that to line up slanted eyes.
You can, but it's still not exact due to the completely different shape between both eye choices. It will get you very close though.
I’ve just watched your video about air getting into your 4030. I have a 4 ounce bottle and have now changed the cap. I just wondered if you have tried the same caps and if it affected the air seal. It is a cap with a twist to open spout, I will post a photo when I figure out how! I also turn the paint etc upside down for a short while so it may form its own seal
Hi Robert! I know what you're talking about as far as the cap with the twist cap is concerned. I don't know what they are called, but I do know what you mean :). For what it's worth, I'm relatively sure this issue has been resolved by Createx. I have four additional bottles of 4030 of various sizes that I ordered after creating those videos. Two have been opened and two are still factory sealed. All of them are still good and I've had them for well over a year now!
Hi, I just subbed bc your video seems very thorough and informative. I just bought a new kit on Amazon for $140. It arrives Thursday. One or two questions; what kind of paper are you using for the skull stencil and where can I get that stencil? Thank you for the info and video, pretty good eye opener on how easy this will be to teach myself. Or at least not impossible. Good info! It was okay to be long, I needed all those juicy deets anyways!
Hi Steve! I didn't use any paper stencils in this video; however, when I do create my own paper stencils, I generally use cheap 20-pound copy paper. You can purchase the same skull stencil I was using in this video here amzn.to/48io3Ry
I am completely self-taught. So, it is absolutely possible to teach yourself how to airbrush. Using other tools and different techniques in order to compliment what the airbrush can do also makes it easier to produce amazing art for those that don't necessarily have a background in art or natural talent. If you have questions along the way, please don't hesitate to ask!
@@wickedartstudio thank you much for clarifying. There seems like there is much to learn so will keep watching the vids as I teach myself along the way. Cheers!
Which cricut do you use to cut out your stencils? Debating between getting cricut maker or silhouette cameo pro.
I use a Graphtec 24" vinyl cutter. I have no personal experience with the Cricut or the Silhouette Cameo. I do know several people that own and use the Cameo cutter and they have nothing but good things to say about it.
I have been watching your videos, and you are awesome . Could you please teach us how to draw an aquarium ? I own a scuba dive shop, and will be awesome to learn with you. Have a wonderful day.
I appreciate the kind words! I will add your request to my list.
What about using acetone free nail polish remover to remove paint?
Acetone will definitely soften the paint. The paint can be removed with acetone as well with enough scrubbing depending on how cured the paint is (I use acetone to clean my airbrushes when they are really dirty). The downside is you'll likely remove more than you intend with an aggressive solvent like acetone. It could be done, but it would take some practice to perfect the technique. I'm not sure what chemicals are in acetone free nail polish remover. So, that product may or may not work as well.
Bonjour de la France. Félicitations pour cette superbe vidéo. ou puis je trouver ce modèle de stencil. Avez vous un lien pour l'acheter please ? Je continue à vous suivre pas à pas et commence à avoir moins peur de l'aérographe. Goodbye et à bientôt.
Bonjour, mon ami! J'ai laissé un lien dans la description de la vidéo pour le pochoir (ainsi que les autres produits utilisés dans cette vidéo). Cependant, je ne sais pas si le lien fonctionnera en dehors des États-Unis. Je vais coller le lien pour le pochoir ici Skull Master Stencil amzn.to/2Za8flO
@@wickedartstudio thanks my friend, je vais regarder le lien et voir si je peux commander. Mais oui comme tu le dit il vaux mieux apprendre à main levée. Merci beaucoup pour ta gentillesse et te dit à bientôt.👍
Gracias :)
Thank you!
welcome back
Hey Sven! Thank you my friend!
Haha I though it was a portrait of Abraham Lincoln when you were fogging in the white just to be Dirty Harry
Glad your back Trevor Happy thanksgiving belatedly from the great white north
Hahaha! Hey Rob! Thank you my friend and I hope you and your family had a Hapy Thanksgiving as well!
How do you deal with copyright?
That's actually a great question that I've never seen brought up in the comments before! I'll create a video addressing the topic.
Where do I get this stencil from, I'm from Iraq
Hi Mousa! I left a link to the correct stencil in the description of the video. I'm not sure whether or not that link will allow you to purchase the stencil and have it shipped to Iraq or not. If not, you might try using your preferred internet search engine to search for "Artool Skullmaster Frontal Freehand Airbrush Template by Craig Fraser". Hopefully, you can find a retailer that way.
@@wickedartstudio thank you my dear
It would be nice if you said when you were spraying paint,and when you were just shooting air.
I'll try to do a better job of this in the future. Sometimes it's pretty obvious because you can see paint being sprayed from the brush, but sometimes it isn't.
👍🏽
Thank you!
I have a good stencil tip for everyone! Don’t use stencils, learn to draw and shade and your work will look much more life like instead of a cookie cutter.
I agree to an extent and your suggestion is more or less the same point I was trying to make in the video. An artist can't rely on a stencil to do all of the work. The artist still needs to add shading, texture and other details to bring it to life. I know how to draw and shade, but I still choose to use a stencil occasionally in order to speed things up. Time is money. Stencils can also be a good bridge for those that haven't had the time to develop the skills you mentioned.
Please change the Cameraangle..!
Thanks.
I'd rather you show it in normal motion than doing it in real fast motion, I can't learn much watching a painter at a 100 mph, hell take ur time man
I agree. Thank you!
Got bored right away. Try to not be so rigged
Thanks.
Great Instructional video !! if people get bored due to the length of any of your videos -- they have 2 choices enjoy & learn or they can SHUT UP & LEAVE !! I just, last week or so got into the Air Brushing Bass Fishing Lures thing and this will deff help me develop my skills.. ... I traced out a couple stencils free hand out of office file folders for a crawdad pattern... So far I've done 2 and what you said ( by NO means am an artistic type ) Is true !! by following your instructions , use of stencils one can do this my 2nd lure painted got some high praise from other painters who've been at for a long time .... I'm Hooked on lure painting now ,,,and will be subscribed here and looking fwd to watching more of you...
Hi Dan! I appreciate the kind words and I'm glad you've found my content helpful! Thank you so much my friend!
@@wickedartstudio ( pssst… just don’t tell anyone I watch while at work ). LoL 😂. oh but Ya. Um at lunch time (wink wink 😉)
@@djradrs199 🤣😂
Where do you get the stencil? Looks rather nice
There's a link in the description of the video.
Thanks for your video. What compressor do you use for the air? I would like to try airbrushing as i I oil and acrylics. but not sure what to buy. Thanks in advance for any advice. I will subscribe to your channel on my art account.
I use a Silentaire 50-T-Aire compressor in my studio. I have a video that talks about compressors and my experience with them during the thirty years that I've been airbrushing that you may find useful. You can find it here ua-cam.com/video/CpHlwe5C52w/v-deo.html
@@wickedartstudio Thank you very much.
@@moodswinging4406 You bet! If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
