you dont need an expensive brush to start out, but you do need a good airbrush though, one that is comfortable and easy to use. something that will actually encourage you rather than frustrate you. personally i think anyone new to airbrushing that wants a good all around starter airbrush regardless of your area of airbrush interest should buy an Iwata hp-bcs. ive had mine for about 5 years now and though it isnt my main airbrush anymore i still use it all the time.

cheap, cheap, great airbrush, very versitile, and it is a treat to use for beginners compared to other brushes. it cleans up easily, color changes are painless. they sell for anywhere from 70$ and up on ebay and can be found in all sorts of airbrush kits with small airbrush compressors for around 200$.

i do drool on the custom microns at the local art store in the hopes they will sell me one cheap, hasnt worked yet but ill keep droolin. :rolleyes
