Holding your airbrush seems like a pretty simple subject but we want to leave no base uncovered when introducing you to airbrushing so here is the most common way to hold your airbrush.
Most important is to stay relaxed when holding your airbrush, a death grip is not needed. Many find it more comfortable to fold the airbrush hose over their fore arm, play around with this see what feels best for you.
Hold your airbrush much the same you would a pen but with your index finger on top of the trigger as pictured below. You can drape the air hose over your forearm to keep it out of your way. Airbrush should feel comfortable in your hand don't hold it real tightly, relax. Both your hand and upper body should be relaxed. For now when going thru the basic lessons here always hold the airbrush perpendicular to your painting surface.
Pictured above you can see Cody is holding his airbrush much the same you would a pen, relaxed and loose in his hand at this point.
It's just paint!!
