For painting and creating small designs on various surfaces, simple brushes are usually used, but processing with an airbrush and spray gun in most cases allows you to achieve a much better result. A properly configured tool will help you paint walls, decorate a facade, a fence or a car body. But not many beginners know how to use an airbrush. First you need to understand its characteristics and operating principles.
An airbrush is a device that works on the principle of spraying paint in a kind of “torch” formed by air in a solution with small particles of a substance. The airbrush device regulates the supply of this solution, which allows it to be applied in a thin layer to the coating being treated.
When used correctly, a high-quality tool sprays the dye in a narrow stream of up to 2 mm, so you don’t need to wear a mask during processing.
There are two main types of airbrush - single and double action. The first, when used, controls only air, the second controls the supply of air and paint. Single-action tools are easy to use, inexpensive, and have a small number of components that are easy to clean. But with their help you cannot apply small spots or stripes, and they are also difficult to adjust.
Working with a double-action airbrush allows for more precise work, but such a device is expensive and contains a large number of components that require careful maintenance. Cleaning these parts is quite a labor-intensive procedure.

Selection criteria
The choice of tool depends on what types of airbrushing will be performed. Typically, inexpensive airbrushes with a thin nozzle and needle are used. Even beginners can work with such a device. But those who want to engage in airbrushing at a professional level should consider the following points when choosing:
- Volume of the dye tank. It is best if it is from 2 ml;
- Sealing the needle and nozzle - drawing will be more comfortable if the seals are made of Teflon;
- The nozzle diameter in high-quality airbrushes should be at least 2 mm;
- The device should be easy to replace the main components such as the reservoir, trigger and nozzle;
- Protection of seals from the effects of used reagents;
- Possibility of adjusting pressure and paint supply.
Purchasing a tool taking into account all the criteria will allow you to perform high-quality and beautiful painting of any surface.
What paint should I use?
What do you need for airbrushing? Special paints are used for painting on surfaces, which make airbrushing a comfortable and simple task. When choosing them, it is necessary to take into account the type of surface and the pressure with which they will be applied. The most popular types of paints are:
- Polyurethane. Such airbrush compositions must be water-based. They allow you to apply a durable, quick-drying design that can withstand different temperatures. There is no need to use protective equipment when painting with this mixture; the work can be done both outside and inside the room.
- Water soluble acrylic. Such mixtures in the form of a liquid allow you to work on any surface. Airbrush painting will help you decorate the walls inside a building, or draw patterns on a facade or car. Acrylic paints are suitable for beginner artists as they are easy to use, dry quickly, are environmentally friendly and, when used correctly, can create a good piece of art.
- Acrylic solvent. How to airbrush with this mixture? Before use, the composition will need to be diluted with a special solvent, which is usually included in the kit. When using this type of paint, be sure to wear protective clothing, as the mixture is toxic. It is not recommended for beginners to paint with an airbrush with a solvent solution; as a rule, this type of composition is used in professional workshops.

Preparation for painting
Before starting the creative process, it is necessary to complete a number of preparatory activities:
- Select a sketch. You need to think about how to draw the pattern and what the final result should be. Sketches are created on papers and the desired option is selected from all the drawings.
- Surface preparation. The area that will be painted must be cleaned of dirt, dust and rust. If you plan to create a pattern on the car body, then you cannot do without the degreasing procedure; to do this, use alcohol, white spirit or a universal degreaser.
- Selection of materials. The coloring solution that will be used in the work must be suitable for application to a specific surface.
- Tool setup. Before setting up the airbrush, read the instructions in the instructions that come with the kit. The settings can vary quite a lot, depending on the type of device.
Rules for working with an airbrush
Even inexperienced craftsmen use an airbrush because it is easy to work with. Of course, first you should study the principle of operation of the airbrush and its features, but this will not take much time. How to use such a tool correctly? To achieve a good result when drawing, you will need to follow the following rules:
- When working with an airbrush, it is better to start painting on a test area. In some cases, if workers have not adjusted the device correctly, it may shoot out clumps of paint, which will ruin the composition. Therefore, it will be better if the procedure begins on cardboard or paper.
- The spray of paint should be applied with careful, even movements, this will avoid the formation of drips or other defects during painting.
- It is not recommended to hold the tool too close to the surface, as the paint layer will lie unevenly, which will lead to the formation of drips.
- After completing the work, the tool must be washed off the dye, the needle and nozzle must also be cleaned with a solvent. It is selected based on the composition of the paint used.
Once you figure out how the tool works, you can decorate various surfaces beautifully. The following recommendations will make using an airbrush easier for beginners:
- When we paint, it is better to hold the tool perpendicular to the surface being treated. In order for the dye to be distributed evenly, the angle of application of the dye must be greater than 45°, the optimal one being 90°.
- The intensity of the applied tone, the thickness of the layer and the overall result depend on the distance between the tool and the coating being processed. When a worker draws, he can change this distance, but this should be done carefully and smoothly.
- When we draw, small drips may form, but it is not necessary to remove them immediately. The drawings need to be given time to dry, after which the excess is carefully sanded off with sandpaper.
- To speed up the drawing process, you need an additional paint tank with a different color, then changing the palette will not take much time. There is no need to clean the container; just rinse the tool and attach another container with dye to it.
As you can see, airbrushing is not very complicated, but it allows you to create amazing paintings. Professionals who have been working with such a tool for many years can create 3D images. But a beginner who has recently mastered the principle of airbrush painting will also be able to decorate a facade, fence, car and other surfaces without any problems.
How and what you can draw on (23 photos)
Oddly enough, there are still weirdos who paint their models with a regular brush, but one can easily argue that painting with an airbrush in 99% of cases (not for figures and some other specifics) will give an incomparably better result when painting. A tuned airbrush in skillful hands works wonders, allowing you to bring the model's appearance as close as possible to the copied original.
A lot has been written about working with an airbrush, but I would like to clarify some points (for example, working with acrylic paints), and let’s just say so. it's time...
But - first things first. The most basic information.
An airbrush is a tool that sprays paint in a kind of “torch” formed by an air flow mixed with tiny droplets of paint.
The airbrush allows you to dose the supply of this mixture and apply it in the form of a thin film on the surface to be painted. A good airbrush, when used correctly, “can” create spots or stripes with a diameter (width) of 1.5-2 mm, and therefore sometimes it is possible, and even necessary, to do without masks when applying, for example, camouflage on Luftwaffe aircraft.
There are two main types of airbrushes: the so-called single And double actions.
For the former, when adjusted with a key (or button), only air supply is controlled, for the latter, both air and paint are controlled simultaneously. The former are simpler, cheaper, have fewer parts, which are also more convenient to clean. But they “don’t know how” to make small spots and stripes and are more roughly regulated. The second ones are correspondingly more precise in their work, but more expensive, contain more parts (which “tolerate” rough or careless handling less well), their cleaning is a more delicate and ore process. Of course, this is the most general assessment.
If it is possible to take an imported one, see with your own eyes (which is very desirable somewhere in the outback, far from specialized “shops”) of its capabilities, consult with the “grandfathers from the stand” and make a decision.
Of course, one airbrush is half the battle in painting models and, alas, not at all “half” in the ratio of the upcoming veils to the source of compressed air, so necessary for the success of the process. However, there are options. Let's start with the cheapest ones. You should not buy, “buying” into simplicity, disposable branded cans with a charge of compressed air - they are enough for one or two small models, and the pressure drops noticeably when air is produced from them. A slightly better alternative to the latter is an inflated car tire (the larger it is, the longer the operating time) and cylinders with carbon dioxide (there is a regulator and a pressure gauge). The latter, for a relatively small fee, can be recharged; they will never cause condensation, but require careful handling and safety when charging and storing. But if assembling a model is not a sporadic process and life without plastic is not nice, a compressor is needed.
Airbrush compressor
Of course, the most correct way is to unfasten several hundred “greens” and acquire an almost silent, shiny, branded beauty with a receiver, filters, regulator and pressure indicator. A noisy, but cheaper alternative to a piston compressor - its membrane counterpart will cost less. But the pressure it creates is less. (The ability to regulate pressure, as will be discussed below, is sometimes very important, because there usually is not much of it.)
Today, the JAS 1203 compressor is optimal: a productive, quiet compressor with a receiver - I recommend it.
I've been using this for several years now:
Excellent results will be achieved by using compressors from household and industrial refrigerators (our brother uses the most of these in Rus'). It is easy to modify such a compressor with a homemade receiver from a plastic bottle.
It will significantly reduce pressure fluctuations (pulsations) and prevent oil and moisture from getting into the airbrush (which is unacceptable, otherwise droplets of unwanted liquids will ruin the whole thing!!!) If the compressor is new, the receiver can be equipped with a pressure release needle or something similar to regulate the pressure downward. You can, for example. insert into the line a piece of metal tube with a hole drilled in its wall. By blocking it to varying degrees with a flexible line tube, we get the same effect as from a needle.
Of course, there are many branded filters that perform the same functions. In general, methods of purchasing compressors and (or) their modification is a big and painful topic. I would like to wish my beginning colleagues to be more inventive and enterprising. But vacuum cleaners and car compressors, alas, are not suitable - I’ll omit the details - they do not create the required pressure.
There are a lot of paints now, as well as articles about them. Of course, expensive paints from Acromaster, Tamiya, Gunze Sangyo and more affordable Model Master, DuPont, Humbrol and Revell are definitely better than “nitra” bought for half a liter from familiar artists, but they are not a panacea for the very unimportant results when using them, and other Nitra is better than the same killed - matte paint from Humbrol. Read special articles, study photos and make a choice based on your wallet. It is highly advisable to use branded paints, but not necessary. You can, through trial and error, stock up on nitro paints purchased on occasion. However, when it comes to adhesion and hiding power, a good “brand” is definitely preferable. And the dispersion is much better.
To work successfully with an airbrush, the paint must be of proper thickness and free of foreign particles and dirt. We’ll talk about cleaning the airbrush and the features of working with acrylic paints later, but for now remember the following. Mix the paint thoroughly before use.
If necessary, add solvent to the paint, but do this not in a can of paint, but in a separate container. You can use, for example, film cases or other suitable containers. The consistency of the paint for spraying is “milk”. When you shake a jar of paint, it leaves faint translucent marks on the walls.
Let me say right away that the degree of dissolution is a delicate process. Glossy paints require slightly more solvent than matte paints. In addition, domestic nitro solvents (acetone 646, 647, etc.) are quite suitable in some cases for replacing the “company”; you just need to take into account that the higher the number, the heme is “heavier” the solvent, because it takes longer to dry and, with longer drying, gives the paint more time to spread evenly over the surface being painted, which means it will make it less dull. If there is any uncertainty, experiment first, then use a suitable solvent.
To prepare the color (if the neg is ready), also use a separate container.
If the paint is of unknown origin or old, filter it through at least clean gauze (2 layers).
Do not pour the dissolved paint back into the original jar!
Wash the airbrush after changing the color with a clean solvent (the same as that used for paint), and after completing work on the next model, disassemble the airbrush and give it a general cleaning.
If you are saving the paint on the side, make sure. that the settled binder was not cast for you. (The paint consists of a coloring pigment, a binding liquid and a solvent. There is also a matte base - tooth powder was used everywhere among USSR modelers.) In general, before any pouring of paint, mix it thoroughly.
Video: Working with an airbrush
Painting walls or the hood of a car with an airbrush has been popular for a long time, but the trend to use this technique of painting on nails is quite recent. With its help, you can easily make smooth transitions of shades, while any drawings have the thinnest layer.
What is airbrush?
The design of nails, in which the main tool is a special manicure airbrush, is called airbrushing. A special device sprays paint with adjustable intensity, and drawings can be applied either directly or using a stencil.
A high-quality unit allows the nail art master to choose the thickness of the lines, so the drawings turn out realistic and voluminous, especially if the airbrush is in the hands of a real professional.
Types of airbrush
The pricing policy of special devices for spraying paints directly depends on the capabilities of the selected tool. Among the types of devices there are simpler or double options. The difference in quality and cost is colossal.
Both one and the other cannot be used without additional tools and special materials. You can choose such accessories from a huge range of products and a variety of prices.
Materials and tools
Using an airbrush for nails is impossible without some additional accessories. The necessary materials and tools are not only paints and stencils, but also solvents and gun cleaning fluids.
Among the wide range of materials and tools, there are often not only fakes, but also simply low-quality products. You should approach your choice responsibly, because the quality of the result depends on it.
Paints and varnishes for artistic painting
Naturally, it is not possible to paint with just air, so a paint kit is simply necessary. They are often purchased as a set of a basic palette. These colors are good for the main background. Shades are often created by mixing several colors, but you can choose from tint palettes if you wish.
Paints are mainly produced on a water basis. This makes them well diluted and washed out of the airbrush. But there are also special varnishes that contain special compounds for better adhesion.
High-quality paint will not clump, flow like water, or, on the contrary, be excessively thick. If the pigment has such characteristics, it cannot be used to avoid damage to the airbrush device.
Stencils
They are simply necessary for creating various effects on nails if there is no time for manual design or lack of drawing skills. Although stencils are often used by craftsmen who deliberately want to give the nail some special design option. Among the stencils you can find disposable paper stickers (or from film) and reusable ones.
Commonly used stencil options:
- “leopard” spots and other animalistic patterns;
- geometric shapes (often used as a basis for subsequent design);
- for French, ;
- contours of animals, plants, objects, monograms;
- inscriptions, letters, symbols;
- specific drawings (religious themes, subculture, etc.)
In almost all cases of using stencils, the effect of contrast is used. This can manifest itself in shades (light-dark), color scheme.
Ready-made sets
The airbrush apparatus itself is a pistol-like object on which there is a reservoir for liquid pigment, a spray nozzle, and switches. In order for it to start “blowing” paint under pressure, you will have to purchase a special compressor separately. The operation of the airbrush directly depends on its power. Some manufacturers provide an airbrush and a compressor at the same time, so you can find devices that are produced in sets. The “gun” is connected to the compressor using a hose through which air flows.
In addition to the complete equipment for the device, the all-inclusive set may include:
- paints or varnishes;
- stencils;
- solvents and cleaning fluids;
- set of nozzles, needles, etc.
Depending on the configuration of the kit and the quality of the device itself, the cost of the kit can easily fluctuate several dozen times.
Step-by-step creation of airbrush drawings
Like any other coating, airbrush paint can be applied to natural nails, extended nails, or coated with gel polish. If the drawing is applied directly to a natural nail with a device, then its surface is prepared in the same way as for a manicure: a hardware or other manicure is done, the nail is polished. There is no need to prepare artificial coatings in advance; the main thing is to remove the dispersion layer.
In order to easily remove the remaining paint from the skin around the nail after artistic painting, it is worth applying hand oil in advance to those areas where you need to protect the skin from paint. A rich cream will also work. It is important not to touch the nail plate.
Don’t be afraid of this miracle airbrush machine, but practice more. If you have completed a training course in airbrush techniques, then working with the device will not be difficult. If the theory is mastered independently, numerous training sessions cannot be avoided. It is better to do this on training tips.
But in any case, the process of decorating nails with an airbrush is the same:
Place the stencil firmly on the surface of the nail. If it is not used, then the main drawing is applied step by step.
When using a large number of colors, it is worth using each one on all planned nails in turn, and only then changing the paint in the airbrush for subsequent painting. If necessary, especially small details can be applied with a thin brush;
With a sufficient level of skill, both simple patterns and more sophisticated complex compositions or thematic designs can be created on nails.
Photo examples of complex compositions for painting:
The advantage of airbrushing is the realism of the created picture, as well as a thin layer on the nail.
Ideas for manicure designs
Real nail design pros don't look at the clock when they paint their nails. Creating original effects does not happen in one hour; usually masterpieces on nails appear over a longer period of time. Even the smallest idea requires careful work with the image to convey the idea. Therefore, this design method is not suitable for manicurists with a large number of clients per day.
The interaction of dark and light shades on one nail creates a more expressive effect and a certain volume. Therefore, combinations of dark and light are the most popular for use in nail design.
Airbrush in dark colors
Marigolds of any length can be transformed beyond recognition if you decorate them in dark shades. They can be used in the same color range, as well as a mix between primary and derivative monochrome tones.
What is airbrush? This definition is directly related to a tool such as an airbrush. To put it simply: airbrushing is spraying paint under air pressure.
To thoroughly find out what airbrushing on a car is, you should look briefly into history and see the key events that became the basis for the emergence of this type of art. The pneumatic sprayer itself was invented in America more than one hundred and fifty years ago. The first task assigned to the instrument was to apply color paints to black and white photographs. This is exactly how color photographs were made in those days. Later, this technology began to be used in cinema, printing, animation and advertising. The color film "Pinnochio", released in 1940, appeared not least thanks to airbrushing.
What makes car owners decide to do airbrushing?
Firstly, the airbrushed design on the car makes it unique and exclusive. To stand out from the crowd of car enthusiasts and at the same time not break the rules, not endanger yourself and other road users by performing stunts, what could be better?
Secondly, the drawing is able to emphasize the design and model of the car, as well as the character and style of the owner, and demonstrate his own taste. In such a car you no longer want to drive headlong; on the contrary, you want to drive sedately so that everyone has time to see the beauty.
Well, thirdly, a more practical reason is that the airbrush design also becomes an anti-theft agent, since few people will decide to steal a car that is easy to recognize, and it will not be possible to sell the body parts.
In addition, airbrushing is another form of art that allows you to make a car not just unique, but at the same time demonstrate your success to others. After all, bad life doesn’t make drawings. If you contact a prestigious studio, they will be able to show you a catalog of ready-made sketches. But a real artist is always ready to bring your drawing to life.
And yet, not many people decide to make a drawing on their car, but those who take this step arouse admiration and envy among others. Always!
The turnaround time for work usually ranges from five days to three weeks. It all depends on the complexity of the drawing. First of all, it is necessary to select a design, because the image should not only please the customer, but also suit the car, otherwise the airbrush will exist as if separately from the car.
The cost of airbrushing in specialized salons and what affects the price
The procedure of working with an airbrush itself is a rather labor-intensive and complex process, and each order is purely individual and includes many actions and procedures, so the price will be fully consistent with the work performed. Therefore, when turning to professionals, you need to prepare for large financial costs when painting a car.
The price of airbrushing for a car consists of:
- car surface preparation,
- sinks;
- assembly and disassembly;
- cleaning and polishing;
- surface painting area;
- special paints for airbrushing;
- quantities of all colors used;
- complexity, size and detail of the drawing;
- the degree of concealment of defects or other elements on the car.
In specialized salons (one might even say “studio”), the price of airbrushing varies greatly. Depending on the quality of the materials, the complexity of the work, the skill of the artist and the fame of the workshop, the price can start from 3.5 thousand for one part and 120 thousand for the entire car, reaching 20 thousand for a part and several hundred for the entire car. To this we need to add the development of a special design project (starts in the range of 3-10 thousand).
How much does airbrushing on a car cost?
The price also depends on the complexity and area of the image. After the sketch is approved, the master will begin preparing the surface. The presence of scratches or dents on the surface will affect the quality of the design. The surface must be smooth.
Once the surface is ready, the master will apply the drawing. The pleasure is not cheap, but it is worth it. There is little that can compare with the pleasure that comes from owning an exclusive, beautiful, highly individual car that no one else has. That's what airbrushing is.
Benefits of manual airbrushing
1. The drawing is of high quality and durable, remaining unchanged for about ten years.
2. The artist can apply any images, in accordance with his own taste and the wishes of the customer.
3. After the paint has dried, the car can be washed and polished without fear of ruining the image.
4. An airbrushed car becomes a unique work of art.
Unfortunately, traditional manual airbrushing is a very expensive pleasure. Depending on the scale of the drawing and the fame of the artist, it can cost from several tens of thousands to a million rubles or even more. The time required to create an airbrush image takes several days, and if the design is quite complex, even several weeks.
Polyfilm tapography (film airbrushing)
Here, airbrushing is performed using special films with designs printed on them, which are simply pasted onto the car.
Sometimes, as a design solution, a scanned and printed ordinary photograph is used.
Advantages of the film method:
Among the disadvantages, the following points can be noted:
- Fragility - the film will last less than 5 years. To correct this shortcoming, it is enough to cover the drawing with a layer of varnish. And then the drawing will delight you for 10 years;
- Under the influence of an aggressive external environment it may collapse.
Airbrush: stencil design
It differs from the traditional version only in that the sketch for the future image is a pre-made stencil, on which the drawing is applied.
The advantages are the same as in the first option. The only difference is that drawing a picture will require less material investment.
The downside is that there may be many owners of one image on cars in the city.
Modern fashion trends have not bypassed car airbrushing.
For example, such a concept as automobile feng shui has already appeared
It is believed that the applied pattern can influence the fate of the car: it can emit both positive and negative impulses.
Not only regularly coming into contact with it, but also being at a fairly close distance from the car, a person, without noticing it, constantly lets them into his biofield.
Not only esotericists and bioenergeticists think so, but also artists.
Thus, it is not recommended to apply a design that reflects aggression (predatory animals), death (demons, monsters and other evil spirits), sadness and grief (tears, blood and other manifestations of suffering), destruction (breaks, flames, cracks)
It has been noticed that the fate of a car and its owner can exactly repeat the drawing applied to it. 
More<<полезной>> considered positive airbrushing, which contains abstraction and hieroglyphs.
Symbolizing love, luck, health and wealth, they influence the future in the most positive way.
Airbrush with flowers is also popular, although this style of airbrush is more suitable for cars for girls.
There is an opinion that the date of birth of each person determines the presence of a protective totem (animal) that protects him from misfortunes and failures.
Each month corresponds to an animal or bird.
You should also remember about the color that corresponds to the month of the year and gives strength and confidence to a person.
Combine only positive images in the airbrushing of your car, of a certain color and shades that will only make its owner and those around him smile, and it will certainly begin to attract only good luck.
There are many ways to highlight a car in a gray mass. Someone tunes their car, someone repaints it in a bright color. If you find regular repainting boring and want to turn your car into a work of art, airbrushing is the way to go. This technique of applying a pattern to a surface is named after the tool used to carry out the work - an airbrush.
What is an airbrush and how does it work? So what is an airbrush? This is a small tool that sprays paints and varnishes under air pressure. Adjusting the nozzles in it allows you to very accurately draw even small details of the picture. Externally, such a device looks like a fountain pen, which is equipped with an additional paint cylinder. The air valve in the device closes its lever, and when pressed it opens, the air flow goes through the body, sucks in the paint and pushes it out through the tip (nozzle). The quality of the applied image depends directly on the quality of the airbrush, the correct preparation of the surface area, as well as the experience of the painter.
It is worth noting that the operating principle of such a device makes it similar to a household spray gun. However, there are some features of the device:
- it has a very precise calibration of atomizers (nozzles);
- It is possible to adjust speed, paint saturation and other parameters.
Airbrush painting technology is already quite common and popular due to the wide variety of paints on the market. This makes it possible to create drawings with direct and reverse perspective, draw the background of the picture and much more. Images created using an airbrush are highly realistic, three-dimensional and rich in color. When working with the device, you can use several types of dyes at once.
Airbrush in package and additional accessories Advantages and Disadvantages
An airbrush is ideal as a tool for long-lasting painting, as evidenced by the advantages of its use:
The design of the airbrush and the characteristics of its operation also have their drawbacks.. These include:
- high cost. If you decide to buy a device, you will spend a lot of money, but you will pay an even larger sum if you take the car to an auto center for painting;
- a design applied in this way is difficult to change - not every master will undertake this, and the amount of repainting may unpleasantly surprise you.
How the airbrush works: detailed diagram Species
So that you don’t wonder how to choose an airbrush, there is the following classification of units depending on their interaction with the air flow:
- external mixing. In such models, paint mixing occurs outside the unit. These devices usually paint large areas of the car surface, since they have the simplest design possible;
- internal mixing. In such models, paint is mixed with air inside a device of a more complex design.
Depending on the type of control, the following models are distinguished:
- with one channel. They can adjust the paint supply channel or air channel;
- with two channels. In such varieties, simultaneous adjustment of the air and dye channels is allowed. If you are working with such a device, first open the air channel, and then the paint channel.
Different types of airbrushes In turn, the device of a two-channel type airbrush can be like this:
- dependent. Here the control is automated. When you press the lever, the air and dye supply valve opens on its own and mixing occurs;
- independent. In such models, when you press the lever, air enters the device, and when you pull the lever toward you, paint comes in. Independent type models are presented on the market in larger quantities today.
Depending on the method of applying paint, airbrushes are distinguished:
- with feed from below. The penetration of coloring pigments is ensured by a vacuum;
- above. In this case, the substance is affected by the force of gravity, as well as vacuum;
- under pressure. This allows you to spray substances with a high degree of viscosity.
There is no need to confuse the method of applying paint with its location - it can also be on the side, above or below. The best option when choosing is to place the paint can on the side, as this makes it impossible for the substance to pour out.
Airbrush kit: filter, mini-compressor, airbrush Peculiarities
When choosing tools for airbrushing, as well as the airbrush itself, pay attention to:
- The diameter of the needle and nozzle. Choose products with a minimum diameter of 0.15 mm, which will allow you to apply the thinnest lines of the design. If you need drawings with predominantly large details, you can take a product with a diameter of 0.4 mm.
- Equipping the tool with additional functions. For example, many airbrushes have a feed limiter. This allows you to limit the size of the lines, which prevents uneven colored areas. The built-in pressure regulator will come in handy if the device’s compressor is located far away and you don’t want to constantly run to it.
- Quality of the tool, manufacturer. You need to purchase devices only from well-known brands in special stores to avoid low-quality devices. This will save you money in the long run.
