Any airbrush artist in the crowd??

I would like to get into airbrushing. I bought a cheap airbrush to start out with. Haven't ran any paint through it yet. Any tips or tricks that an experienced airbrush artist could give to a beginner?

Pics of your work would be great!!!

Which brush did you get? The tip size plays an important part in what paint you shoot with it.

I use a Paasche VL and Auto Air Colors.

It's tougher than it looks, so don't be discouraged. Practice your loops;

Thin on the upstroke, fat on the downstroke.

My favorite artists:

This is the one I have for now. Like I said I didnt want to get a high dollar one until I see how I like it and pick up on it.

Don't laugh!!!

You can buy a VL for about 40 bucks, and a nicer Iwata for ~$130; Don't purchase until you learn more about how to choose whatcha need //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
