I have been pencil drawing my whole life I am now 25 and am looking to learn to airbrush. I am looking for artsit who come from a similair back ground
so maybe we can learn from eachother and help eachother by sharing our experiences and help by avoiding pit falls.
I used to draw a lot when I was younger with a simple pencil, I would normally draw family members and new babies, generally anything to make a monument of a particular family event, unfortunately I don't have anything I can show since everything I did was for someone else and given to them when it was finished, I stopped about 20 years ago due to pounding headaches when I was doing that and also my own job, I found found later that the reason for this was that I needed glasses,
, after visiting my doctor several times he suggested an eye test, I'de never had an eye test till then, what an idiot.
I do plan in getting back into now that can see.
If you plan on getting into airbrushing, I would say definitely go for it, however, do expect it to be a little strange at first, as you know you rely on the feeling of pressure on your pencil to determine intensity of lines and shading and so on, this feeling is non existent with airbrushing since there is only air between you and the airbrush, it freaks you out in the beginning.
Air brushing is fun when you get to do it, and as long as you stick around here, you'll get all the help and advice you could ever need, it's a bunch of good people here and we are 100% mental, but that goes with the territory, I notice your only 25 and I think this will you to learn a lot quicker than some of us, poor Mitch has to tell me everything 50 times,
Any way Peter, don't spend too much time thinking about it, just get it done, you won't regret it.
And don't forget we have a few pro's on the forum who are also always willing to chip in.
