Your First Project

Now your ready to go!  Well you have no customers right now, because you have no samples to show.  Everyone has a different level of ability and talent,  I'll assume if you are really interested in airbrushing you have been drawing or painting a for some time.  If you are at this level than it will be a matter of making up some sketches for some ideas.  You can also go online and look at some great airbrush art.  Now your creative juices are cooking.  Your first airbrush paintings can be fairly simple just to get the feel of painting with an airbrush.  Depending on how realistic you want your work to appear it will depend on your knowledge of light and shadow.  How ti get textures with airbrush also can prove to be a challenge.  But that challenge and others can be overcome.  You can use illustration board to create your samples on, and then spray a little gloss over your work to get rid of spray patterns that occur on your work.   If you are doing T-shirts than just create some sample T-shirts. If you want to show how your work will look on metal than a trip to the auto dismantling  yard.  Now get painting!
