Basics I am ok at
can do dots from small to big no problem & can colour in areas.
Learned to disassemble and reassemble to clean airbrush & mix & change colours.
Basics I'm bad on
Straight consistent lines or "daggers" & going from thin to wide.
Used a cd to get an outline of it and oversprayed so need to improve my handling of the airbrush.
Going to develop better technique by focusing on 1 basic thing at a time until I improve on the basics, if I fail at each particular technique keep woring on it until I have it nailed .
However I tried something I had in mind for a while, camoflage, wasn't snow camo it was urban camo I was thinking of for the air cube, not awesome but not terrible either for a first attempt, I think it's a little over crowded, would have been better if I had some stencil film sheets instead of thick paper, but the paper will help keep costs low while I make an ideal stencil set.
Would be great if there was an optional laser pointer attachment for better guidance on airbrushes, I find it pretty tricky to paint exactly where I want to, but hopefully I'll get to grips with that over time .
Also found it easier to use like a control pad using my thumb for air/paint rather than like a pen, I know it isn't the correct way but it seems to work better for me.
LOL this was my first doodle with the airbrush, as you can see I need to improve technique very much.
A quick drawing of stencils to be cut out with a xacto knife.
On another note I bought a second sheet metal folder as I slightly damaged my first when I got it by using it very wrong, but I'm going to put my first to good use by bolting the moving bending part to my new folder to really increase it's bending capacity, have also cut the heavy steal flat bar into custom sized pieces (took ages with a hacksaw) so I will also be able to make my own pci back pieces, I'm hoping to be able to bend 760mm long by 2mm thick sheet and if it works that would be a very cheap but quality bending tool @ £80 for both combined, I'll post a mini project log of the mod once I receive the second one and have it done .
