I love full length tutorials. Thank you Rob, you have mad skills.

[@dredfxcustompaint]

Thank you glad you like the new style of videos plenty more coming up 👍thanks for the support with the channel really appreciate that

[@CIAdir.]

I really like these full length videos! The real time work and hearing your thoughts as you work I think are more informative to me. Not sure about what everyone else thinks? Keep up the great work!

[@dredfxcustompaint]

That's great news thank you foe watching and the feedback much appreciated

[@kaoticconceptsairbrushstud4769]

Fantastic Video! The knowledge you provide to your audience is second to none. I would have paid a lot of money to have had these videos when I started.

FANTASTIC!!! Thoroughly enjoyed this real time tutorial. Informative and inspiring. Trying hard to learn to paint at such low psi with such thin paint. I’ll get there. This video is helping tremendously. Thank you brother 👍

[@dredfxcustompaint]

Your welcome glad you enjoyed the video

[@paulsimmonds2030]

Absolutely amazing piece of artwork. I would love to think I could get the same out of my Infinity..You may of heard this saying before, but when I once said to my art tutor. “It is difficult to know when a piece of work is completed” He replied. “My boy, art is never finished, merely abandoned!”

[@harderairbrush]

Great comment!

[@spyuggy]

Beautiful artwork and a great tutorial Thank You.

[@dredfxcustompaint]

Your welcome thank you for watching and supporting the channel really appreciate that 🙏

Hey Dred. I'm going to the prestigious Dru Blair School of Realism in Sept through Oct in South Carolina, USA. I got Dru's Custom Iwata Custom Micron too! It's a custom version of the Custom Micron. Don't know if you ever heard of Dru Blair but he's the guy that actually worked with Createx to develop the Illustration Colors line.

[@dredfxcustompaint]

Hi I know Dru Blair I did a course with him at sm designs with Simon murry years ago 👍a very good teacher you will love it

[@westmc45]

I took 6 classes from Dru going to the Mucha class in October

[@andregrafia1914]

Excelente video rob

[@jeffsimon3114]

Brilliant artwork and tutorial! Thanks. Maybe try the 4011 reducer in place of the alcohol as it contains propylene glycol, which enhances the flow.

[@bartholomewmccaffery7058]

Well that started off my Sunday real good Seeing as I'm up an hour earlier it was great to see something worked in real time for a change. Nicely done mate 👌

[@dredfxcustompaint]

Thank you mate 👍 got another one today

[@jord001]

Nice work Rob, making it look easy :) I havent picked up my airbrush for a long time but im thinking about it. I have a pic to finish that has taken about 8 years too long lol

[@dredfxcustompaint]

Thank you 👍 yes get back on the brush and finish your painting 🙂

[@gilbertcabasse6168]

This pin-up is wonderful, but I doubt this is the ideal subject for a complete beginner (like me). I was much more comfortable to choose less precise and more forgiving references, like an African mask or a Balinese face of a monster... But thanks so much for this lesson!

[@deanbrown7643]

Just in case my first comment never got through cracking vid mukka well done mukka 👍👍

[@markdorning2976]

could you show how to project the image please. love the content.

[@dredfxcustompaint]

Yes I will do it in today's video for you not a problem

[@louisliguore7199]

Great instructional video, I learned a lot from watching you paint. The artwork is awesome! What size paper did you paint on? Could you have achieved the level of detail that you demonstrated in this painting with your Takumi Eclipse?

[@vipersniper843]

Prefer this to time lapse .👍

[@dredfxcustompaint]

Yes me to thanks for watching and the feedback really appreciate it

[@cyrilpreece2658]

One of your best tutorials Rob. Just shows what can be achieved without Gesso or erasers. You mention your art programme - what do you use? Can you give the link for the image? And a Happy Easter bud.

[@dredfxcustompaint]

Hi Cyril the art program is the one that came with my Samsung all I did was change the colour

[@cyrilpreece2658]

Thanks Rob what about the link to the image.

[@louisliguore7199]

Another great instructional video, I learned a lot watching you paint. The artwork is awesome! What size is the paper you painted on? Would you have been able to do the detail you demonstrated with your Takumi Eclipse?

[@dredfxcustompaint]

@@louisliguore7199thank you 👍 the size of the paper was 350mm x 450 yes cold have done that with the takumi

[@johnholmes6897]

You can make stencils out of old x-ray films. They will last forever because they're made to hold up against chemicals.

[@dredfxcustompaint]

Cool thanks for the tip 👍

[@johnholmes6897]

@@dredfxcustompaint glad I can help. I use a wood burning tool to cut them. I've had my first set since my motorcycle accident a LONG time ago. One of the airbrush artists at the Jersey Shore shared the tip with me, now sharing it with you and everyone that watches your vids great vids btw

[@dredfxcustompaint]

@@johnholmes6897 nice thank you for the tips 🙏

[@iancoupe71]

Can you leave a link to the picture please. Very cool

[@slopech4]

Awesome video, thank you! What are you using to project the image to do the initial line drawing?

[@dredfxcustompaint]

Hi this is the projector that I used for the image www.amazon.co.uk/TOPTRO-Projector-Upgraded-Correction-Compatible/dp/B08DJ88XW8

[@AirbrushtipsbyHHC]

You are so cool.... Did you ever find the reference link? (You mentioned in the clip) I would like to give it a go

[@dredfxcustompaint]

There you go pin.it/451xRd8Fg

[@randallart1313]

Nice work. what. are you painting on?

[@martinlittlewood5200]

I tried this ink recipe, but I got an awful lot of tip dry. I am just past total beginner, with and a Iwata Eclipse.

[@dredfxcustompaint]

Tip dry will always happen it's one of those things us airbrushers have to deal with 🙄

[@Sharp_Calidore]

such a lost art man

[@davecancel7084]

Hey Dred what is your mix ratio?

[@dredfxcustompaint]

Hi in this video it was two drops of wicked 25 drops of isopropyl alcohol and 3 drops of water that was for the first pass then I added another Drop of paint to the same mix to darken it up 👍

[@dosdont]

No links?
