Being a complete beginner with airbrushes I found this book a little too advanced for me. I have been looking for a publication that gives the basic items and exercises to start using this art form. The airbrush I purchased seems to want to paint in 25cm strips and I don't know how to adjust anything on it. This publication didn't help in that respect or what to use and how to obtain the paint or ink or whatever and how and what to use to thin certain paint products. Probably a good book when you have been able to master the basics of the airbrush.

I was rather disappointed by this book. It has about 5 or six pages of text , doesn't go into enough detail about paints, where to get them, whether to dilute them, and how much, and other things. Most of the book was more like a portfolio of "Look, I did this & this & this" not enough pictures of the steps in creating the drawings.

As a beginner I feel I almost wasted my money. It actually doesn't tell tou "HOW" to do things, it tells you "DO" this and "DO" that, "DRAW" a line hear... It doesn't explain why they use light colors first in some projects, darker tones first in others (so how do I procede??). Though half of the book is addressed to T-shirt airbrushing, no instructions are given on how to prepare cotton for your paintjob, how to heat-fix the colors...
No instructions at all are given on the most important aspect of double-action airbrushing: dosing the trigger for air and/or color. You always read "draw", "smooth" here, "shade" this. My credit card account shaded... HOW TOs books are supposed to tell you HOW TO DO things, not just tell "ok, now DO this and DO that". Im really aggravated... but it's just a book.
I will PRACTICE the airbrush and look for another guide.



3 out of 5 stars Fair book but, not for the beginner.   July 7, 1999

Excellent graphics. Great quality in the physical aspect of the book and the colored graphics contianed in it. But, it definitely does not help the beginner much. It jumps steps and the photographs do not help to decipher what the author is trying to explain. Not for the NOVICE
