    At the moment I use an aztec double action airbrush, I like to do detailed work, wildlife mainly.... which airbrush would you guys recommend for me and why? gravity feed? side cup? Make? also I am using a fairly cheap and cheerful compressor, and can run the one airbrush from it, I use acrylics if that makes a difference, and I live in the uk.... thanks guys... Paul

    Paul,

    Save your money, and stick with your Aztec double action airbrush. It is a fairly good brush, just keep practicing with it and in no time you'll get more comfortable using it.

    cheers Gio, I suppose, all those lovely silver airbrushes look really sexy and the Aztec is just plastic and grey, lol..... would a better compressor make a difference? Paul

    Forget sexy for now

    Does your compressor have a tank attached to it, or is it just a stand alone ?
    You are better of with a compressor that has a tank and pump all in one.
    With this set up you'll have a more consistent air flow.

    hunterpaul,

    Just keep practising with what you have. Gio mentioned it's a pretty good airbrush, so I'll say use it for now. You just have to stick with the basics in Don's lessons right now. Dots, lines and dagger stokes are the basics. You're just stuck with that! You'll have plenty of time to look around and purchase something different. You may find you may need a few different ones.
