Lightning

[@Bayan1905]

Of all the videos I have watched for airbrushing lightning, this is by far the best one I have seen. Your approach is much more detailed and realistic.

[@edhubbsairbrushing]

Thank you.

[@RCBashist]

Lightning was my first ever airbrush paint job. It's easier than some people might think, and it's fun to do too. Great tutorial!

[@MegaTitaniumMan]

Good Job Ed, It looks fantastic. I like how my eyes widen and I get excited watching your tutorials, I learn things from them continually-thats why I have to watch them over and over again. Thanks Ed, You are The Man!!

[@renepoole1332]

Hi there, im just getting into airbrushing and I just wanted to let you know how much I admire your work, I love the way you make airbrushing look so easy. I get lots of tips from watchig your videos, keep up the great work.

[@edhubbsairbrushing]

@hockeyfreak043 What are you applying one color over the other ? Are you wanting the underlayment color to show through the top color?

[@randy1ization]

Super Kool!!! thanks for taking the time to share your gift with the world!! keep up the good work .

[@RCenthusiast101]

Hello I am wanting to get into airbrushing and I was wondering if you have to buy a special compressor for it. Or can you use a regular one?thanks

[@ryannickum7826]

Sick! Reminds me of the Ride the Lightning album art. great work!

[@cartoonfoxxx]

What did u put in the end??? Is like clear or something??? Thanks and this tutorial help me a lot

[@SuperMoose81]

thanks for the videos and please keep them comeing, I am just getting started in the airbrushing and enjoy watching your videos.

[@cartoonfoxxx]

Sorry for not be and specific... But when u finish is an clear coat or something???

[@edhubbsairbrushing]

@dimebagcfh You mean the clear coat ?

[@opie7afe]

ed, your videos are great, i need to buy a dvd for sure, just got my first DA airbrush and just learning how to use the dual action but i was wondering how do you like the wicked colors paints? whats the limitations of them?

[@Hughie1987]

just wondering what the board your working on is? I see the same thing in other videos and got curious is it just cardboard painted black or poster board ?

[@FINDaCHANNEL]

i dont do airbrushing at all but i just like to watch you do your airbrushing and the amazing skill you have

[@SopranoStylle]

Hey Ed I just got my house of kolor paint kit you recommended the paint is awesome..I just wanted to ask what what ratio are you reducing your white for them fine lines..when I spray mine they are not as bright as yours I'm using a 1 part paint 2 parts reducer ratio with my air pressure at 45 psi...also do you you use the same ratio for your whites weather it be fine lines or shading...thanks for the help your work is great...I love them eyes you have up in some of your videos there sick!

[@SopranoStylle]

Thanks man..I haven't played with my kandy colors yet because I'm not sure how to reduce them I read online that is is 6 parts intercoat clear 1 part candy..then you mix that and then mix that 1:1 with the reducer? Is this correct..I'd like to know how you do it bacuse you paint seems to flow very nice

[@colinsherlow]

I love your videos. I don't paint cars, but I do paint miniatues with an airbrush. Just curious as to what you mean by a candy paint? does that mean translusent paint? how would won make translusent colours besides buying them? a lot more thinner?

[@bmxfreak1101]

When you do the final fine line, do you have the crown on your brush? I've heard that taking it off can give you a finer line. Is there any truth to that?

[@ShEiP23]

I dont know why the actual fuck this is in my recommended 9 years after being posted but obviously the KZbin Gods brought us together and, holy shit! As an airbrush artist, I loved this video and the information and I just so happen to be working on a lightning piece right now that I now realize I'm just overthinking and can easily improve or fix the imperfections while maintaining the integrity. Thanks, Ed!

[@edhubbsairbrushing]

Im glad I could help

[@hockeyfreak043]

if i have a plain white and iam wanting it to turn out like the lighting.. do i need a candy color over the white to get that effect ? or can i use something else other than candy to get that effect ??

[@retiredle8139]

Ed, What is the best airbrush for really fine lines at the best cost on your website?? I heard a .05 needle is good for fine lines?? Thanks Ron

[@AirbrushFX]

Hey were you using any respirator or anything with that house of color? Ive heard it was deadly...Awesome piece cant wait to try some lighting.

[@ilsantoras]

hello ED What do you use to make these clouds?

[@goforswede]

Do you do training courses? i just got started brushing, and i just finished checkered "ghost" silver on top of silver body. over reduced my silver for brushing the checkered pattern. looks good, now im toying with the idea of a satin finish. but im not sure. clearing it tomorrow. Do most of my spraying on golf carts. You do wonderful jobs sir, i watch your videos a lot. im trying lightning as i watch you. Impressed in Kansas!!!!

[@edhubbsairbrushing]

Yes I teach classes write me up on my e-mail and I will give you some info. fullblownkustoms@gmail(dot)com

[@edhubbsairbrushing]

@hockeyfreak043 You can use a over reduced base coat

[@edhubbsairbrushing]

@KursedInk It is just a aluminum panel.

[@mortimus27]

How do I do such ultra fine lines? I love the way they turn out but I have problems with them... I am using a Pashee Talon, with #2 needle, gravity feed, and for transparent coloring I have a second pashee that is siphon feed ... dont know the gauge of the needle.

[@hockeyfreak043]

when putting one color over another..do i need to have a candy or a transperate ?????

[@Furby_assassin]

nice i like this one. It will be nice to see some videos with the wicked paint. I cant afford the other types of paint right at the moment so i cant wait to see what you can do with that paint. Your a good teacher ed!!

[@1eselends3]

What other sites is good to get a illustration starter kit? I'm a green & wanna get to do this king of stuff.

[@SprayByCade]

hey edhubbs hate to ask about tcp u said u will not used them or product .is something wrong wit there product i just order some thing

[@1eselends3]

Hey what typeis the paying you are using?

[@DragonwareDesigns]

what is the best method to do purple lighting would it be same with white then purple kandy?

[@1eselends3]

Hey,Ed what are the paints you are using?

[@javonalfred6355]

What did you spray on it to make it look shiny is that a coat?

[@azonicrider32]

whicked job, hi Ed im a custom bicycle painter and have always paid an autobody shop to clearcoat for me. I want to start doing it myself, any tips on a reasonably priced spray gun for small jobs like bike frames? price range would be around $200 and under.Ill be using HOK clears over HOK airbrush and pinstripe paints. Thanks!

[@luckytheprince]

VERY NICE!!!! i am in Switzerland i like you work whit airbrush !! nice job my friend !!

[@kckeeper1]

alright sweet, where u from anyways?

[@retiredle8139]

can you buy the flat black panels from your website?

[@GTag2011]

what kind of scotch brite is that? the only thing i can find are the small ones to scrub dishes and counter tops...nothing in the size you are using.

[@edhubbsairbrushing]

@mower26 I actually use both.

[@edhubbsairbrushing]

Cool,hope it turned out good.

[@EN2RUEDAS]

soy argentino y simplemente usted es mi inspiracion y un maestro gracias por los aportes

[@wordupu]

have you ever done realistic ice before?

[@DragonwareDesigns]

what are your thoughts on the Dagr by Devilbiss? I use Iwata Eclipse's BCS and CS i love them but I have looked at the Dagr wonder if it is any good.

[@Jamesmyrick336]

i got a quick change airbrush kit from harbor freight and i cant get it to spray a fine and it splatters alot what can i do

[@edhubbsairbrushing]

@AirbrushFX All paints with isocianates are deadly.No I was not wearing a respirator when I was air brushing and talking,but yes you should wear one.

[@joshpostle8418]

What are you airbrushing onto???

[@Kmurray9244]

Glad to see you've recovered from the Poisson Oak attack ;) Excellent replacement video, more information and tricks in this one, since we all make mistakes. Looking forward to some tricks with Wicked, since I'm not much of a Urethane guy as of yet. Is that the Eclipse series brush your using? I'm curious as to why that one over the High Performance BC?

[@oceanchaser]

you are really good very talented you have taught me a lot I am planning to do lightning on my rc power boat with a dark blue background

[@mazdamx6paquemames]

Hey Ed i bough an airbrush kit from TCP global my first airbrush kit and i just wana know whats wrong with their product cause im planing to get more things from them hows their service.

[@cosplayboundlive]

There's nothing wrong with TCP's stuff. They're great for beginner airbrushing. Elitists seem to bash TCP for the stupidest reasons.

[@kckeeper1]

your the same guy who did the paint on the 3000gt project with james whitman??

[@DragonGateDesign]

it takes a real artist to show that every one makes mistakes now and again and instead of hiding it, showed how to fix it

[@edhubbsairbrushing]

@MegaTitaniumMan Thanks for watching.

[@edhubbsairbrushing]

Dagr is a good brush I personally find that it is bulky.

[@johnshuppas6346]

I think I just found my idea for my old Lincoln tombstone welder thanks Ed!

[@FullBlownKustoms]

Cool.

[@tgiant69]

What brand of degreaser do you use?

[@MrMattyg75]

Always great videos, your work is magic. How it all comes together... helpful to i will add... thank you Cheers

[@dickturnipmarlboro]

Nice work Ed..Think this lightning video better because you added clouds which gives the artwork further depth and effect..

[@indianubv]

Clean & cool! Ed Hubbs roules!

[@JacksonAxe]

I'm getting close to sending my guitar away to have a Lightning Sky graphic applied. I hope the guy uses your technique of using the jagged edge to make the clouds. Would an experienced air brusher know about using guides to get a great cloud effect? I'd hate to insult him by asking if he uses guides or does it freehand. I realize some guys could do it freehand with great results, but the guide produces very realistic clouds.

[@tylerdurdonxx]

agreed iwata has never failed me. Neither has coast airbrush.

[@HMSITH]

great video thanks for sharing Ed!!!

[@xxpr0nag3xx]

do your research though. i got an iwata Kustom Eclipse CH. with a .35 tip. I still have trouble spraying super fine lines with it.

[@AirbrushBoyX]

Merry Christmas！Blessings from China. I admire you and love u!

[@99ronmarsh]

Very cool, Wish I could do something like this. Nice job!

[@Mr500xl]

LOL...I have watched this vid a few times now but I just noticed something Ed. I remember you giving me a hard time about listening for the "whistle".... at 9:35 - 9:40 I heard it...lol. I love the end result thou. Big Dog!

[@edhubbsairbrushing]

@717YamahaR1 Yes I will be doing a better wolf video,but it will be for sale on my web site not on youtube.

[@edhubbsairbrushing]

Correct,but it does not have the same look but yes it will work.

[@edhubbsairbrushing]

@petar298 I forgot to remove the m4v.

[@edhubbsairbrushing]

That is what I reduce it at but if the temperature is above 70 % you might want to reduce it a little more.

[@petar298]

@edhubbs Doesnt matter :) My father wanted to begin with airbrush so I looked up your videos. Im 13 years and since my dad got an airbrush, I watch ur vids every day and try to do it myself :) Ur videos are AWESOME

[@edhubbsairbrushing]
