Airbrush How-Tos...
on websites...
show others how you do things...
show beginners how to get started...
I have always shared tricks and tips. Over a year ago I added a "How-To" section to my website, threw up some beginner projects and basic exercises, even got some friends to offer up a couple of articles.
Now I see a never ending list of airbrush sites adding a How-To section or offering their own editorials and techniques for other airbrushers.
...its about freakin' time!
I remember when there were only 3 airbrushers in North America and they wouldn't tell you a thing! You had no choice but to learn for yourself, making no end of mistakes and wasting a ton of time and money, destroying t-shirts and airbrush needles along the way!
There are still a handful of "I'm too good for you and I'm not revealing my secrets" artists out there, but they are a dying breed. Now, if you want to find out anything about airbrushing, you need only to look for the myriad of blogs, forums and websites devoted to the art of airbrush.
At some times it seems like there is just too much info and everyone is trying to make a buck with the latest instructional DVD or magazine.
But I think healthy competition is a good thing and I wish everyone the most success in whatever you choose to do...just be friendly and helpful about it and remember all those other artists, just like you, just looking for a little help or advice!
