Attention airbrushers...Asking advice.

I've always wanted to air brush. I assume since I can't draw worth a damn that I wouldn't be very good at it though.

Thanks sean i guess i kinda knew that just never put it into play with an airbrush. Any other tricks or  tips? I wanna know how to shade without so much overspray. Its not alot just irritating, i think ican get a better image if i do it that way. I am actually replacing the head gasket in my yota so i am a little side tracked right now but i will get back to brushing soon. Youre right sean it is alot of fun to play with. I eventually want to be able to do life like portraits. I havent even drawn them so i do need the practice before i do that. Thanks again for you guy's help.

Learn to connect the dots, drag a dagger, and draw circles. Those are very basic. Did you practice writing novels when you were learning to make letters of the alphabet? Same thing here. Once you get more proficent at the basics, move on to drawing cubes, cones, and spheres. If you're comfortable drawing with a pencil, go ahead and work on your portraits in pencils first. You'll have better results with something you're used to and it will give you incouragement. Start to try a portrait at this stage with an airbrush, and you may just throw it in the trash. Portraits, probably the most challenging thing to do.

I have noticed when i brush my finished product is real "airy" looking. I tried practicing the strokes and circles i have got them pretty good but my "true fire flames" came out kind of airy. Like really thin and wispy. How do i stop that? is the paint just over reduced? Or is it too much pressure or just my style that makes it that way? I Have tried to darken everything up and it seems like it just gets worse.
