Yes indeed, well worth the investment!Buy Dru Blair's Classroom in a box.
Hi Mark.Hi Rookie76... I moved your question to "Getting real" as that is a better place than the introductions.
Start with the search function here, see what you can see. There is plenty about that. Or you can use google, here is one google pulled up... http://www.airbrushforum.org/threads/realistic-hair-fur-technique-other-than-scratching.18781/
You can go to youtube and put in "Airbrush hair and fur" and you will get these results. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=airbrush+hair+and+fur Here is a good one for you to start.Hair and fur are really the same sort of thing in airbrush work and created using similar techniques.
I recommend the video tutorial (free on you tube) Airbrush tutor does on some of the faces, he coves hair. I also recommend getting the paid tutorial he does. It is well worth the money.
Can you also give us some idea of what you are going to be painting on? Is is a tee short or card or a panel? What sort of paint are you using?
Can I also ask you go to the intro section and say Hi in an intro. Let us know what part of the world you are in, how long have you been airbrushing? what sort of gear you have. .
Thanks, Mark
Ah yes, my apologies, you're right!Hi Mark.
Thanks a ton for the advice..I did start on the introduction page and did a small intro as rookie from India a couple of weeks ago.
Will check all the links that you have posted.
Thanks again!

make sure you post up your painting when doneI have buy Blair`s classroom in a box...and I am very happy!
You won't find much joy from paints that aren't airbrush specific. The pigment is too large for the brush and the colours will separate. Also don't use urethane paints without serious protection for you and people around you, nasty stuff, especially when atomized.Hello again Mark.
Further to my last message, I'm painting on regular drawing paper what you get in an art store. Colours are acrylic.Am out of airbrush colours so will probably be thinning some paint out of a tube.Not much of airbrushing here on the bulgarian Black Sea Coast where I'm currently sailing.
I do have urethene based paints marine paints here onboard the ship.Thinking about trying them after thinning with a generous dose of thinners.

They're an investment.Yes, I will do it. At the moment I'm translating the language ... and it's costing me a lot, but for sure, I'll upload my photographs of the hair done.

techniques you learn on this can be used for fur as well, just shorter strokes it also gives a good lesson in layering.
You can not do the Dru Blair technique on regular paper. You will need synthetic paper or clay- or gesso board.Hello again Mark.
