If you are new to airbrushing and want to dodge some of the frustration I would highly recomend a subscription to airbrush artist online magazine. I don't want to sound like a commercial but feel very strongly about this.
I have been airbrushing for 1 year now, and would have NEVER done it with out this magazine, this site and the people that hang out here. I had no previous art experiance and still can not draw a stick person correctly! The subscription price gets you almost 3 years of how-to articals that you can accessed anytime! This includes video on breaking down and cleaning your brush and how to paint dagger strokes! This is the hardest thing to learn in the beginning. I was given a begginer airbrush video for chrismas that cost $35 There was nothing in that video that was not in the magazine subscription! I have never watched it again, but visit the magazine every month to read what's new. As you progress you will remember things you read when first starting out, and can qickly revisit to refresh your memory.. a big deal for us old guys!
Anway if you don't belive me, take a look at my gallery and realize I can not draw and was raised in an ART free home.. If I can do this ANYONE CAN!!!!!
I start a drawing class in Jan at a local CC.. we shall see if it is possible to learn that mistifying art or not..
