Hi everyone!
I didn't introduce myself before making a post. I'm 27, from the US. I've been learning drawing fundamentals for a few years and now getting into color and experimenting.
I'm looking to get some airbrush equipment for illustration. In my post I cited and posted Masumune Shirow's (creator of Ghost in the Shell and Appleseed) work as inspiration. I like the aesthetic of airbrushed backgrounds and smooth metal objects. Then doing characters and other foreground elements in a different medium like watercolor and acrylics. There's a certain smooth glow that an airbrush creates that just stands out against other media.
I've done some research and it looks like people are suggesting the Iwata HP-CS, the Iwata Power jet pro and E'tac Private stock paints for what I intend to do.
My concerns right now are cleaning. For $150 piece of equipment I'm going to be nervous trying to not break it during care. Knowing when to use opaque paint and when to use transparent is another thing I wonder about as well as mixing.
I'm definitely looking forward to airbrushing.
