A good book to get you started.,
By "gfjoe" (Seattle, Wa.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Airbrushing (Artist's Library series #09) (Paperback)
I studied technical illustration many years ago and wanted to try airbrushing as a hobby. I think that this book covers the basics well and provides useful exercises with emphasis on the shading of objects. Well worth the price.

BEST! Basic Airbrush Book.,
By Len M. (Pacific NW) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Airbrushing (Artist's Library series #09) (Paperback)
I've read seven airbrush books in the 4 and 5 star range. This was book number seven and by far the best book on simple airbrushing techniques. The frisket cutting and blending exercises are precise and inexpensive to reproduce. Getting into airbrushing is expensive and it is difficult to find classes or good books. This book will get you started on airbrush painting technique in an hour or two of reading time. Sometimes the cheapest book is the best!
