Get some paint and something to practice on and go to town! Good choice on the air brush same one I have and I love it. Try air brush action or Mike Learns web sites, I just taught myself and kept practicing. Good Luck and have fun.

++++1!!! I started airbrushing lexan bodies 6 months ago and I have won 2 competitions on this site since then. They have so many threads full of info, videos, pictures. This site is really awesome. PM me if you want to see some of my work.

Cfx is a great site and has alot of great info. But imo, I think the best way to learn is simply by trial and error. And lots of practice. Start saving your clear 2 liter bottles now. They work perfect when cut in half for practice.
Youll love that brush to btw.. One of the best ones out there in my eyes. I love mine.

These are the best sites out there. I'm new to the airbrush as well and all I can say is don't be afraid to try things even if they don't come out exactly the way you planned every time you paint you'll get better. Masking and prep is the most important and hardest IMO.

Believe me or not, but the tattoo parlor could help you to perfect extremely fine details. They can show you how to steady yourself and whatnot. Also if your lucky you could go to the high school paint class, and ask the instructor to give you tips. Templets work well.
