    A very nicely presented book that will work beginners through the first steps into different types of airbrushes,compressors and paints,and even furniture and studio setups.The book has a very thorough techniques section that covers other tools used in airbrushing,painting surfaces,different types of masks,creative photography,basic drawing techniques,using perspective to effect,and colour theory,this is all before you get to even pick up the airbrush,it is very useful and necessary information to become a good airbrush artist though.The book continues with basic airbrush techniques like ;painting straight and wavy lines (its all good practise),fading techniques,starting to use colour and creating 3d cubes and spheres.A good section follows that highlights the work and techniques of 6 of the best airbrush artists and finishes with some quite hard airbrush projects done step by step by these artists,I have been airbrushing for 8 years now and found this section still held some interesting tips and techniques. All in all an excellent book for beginners and well seasoned airbrush artists

    When this product arived the cover was scaped and had a hole in it. Im glad i was not buyin that as a gift for someone. The book through my eyes is hard to understand i myself am only young, maybe more experienced and older people may find this book useful. Some things in it are very interesting though and are quite enjoyable to look at.
