Beginner Practice Strokes and Shading

Airbrushing can be one of the most difficult and challenging methods of painting out there. Unlike a Pencil, Paintbrush or Marker, Airbrushes are their own creature with many internal moving parts.


If one of the parts is malfunctioning, the entire airbrush will too malfunction. The actual painting with an Airbrush is also multifaceted where the strokes include Distance + Speed + Paint.

Storing Your Airbrush

When you are finished using your airbrush and it is clean, store the brush back in the case.


This is the safest place for it as there are many fragile parts in your airbrush that may get damaged in transportation.
