Review #1

Great Airbrush Book

This book has some great airbrush tips and lessons in it. I highly recommend that you get this book if you are interested in learning to airbrush.






Review #2

The worst instruction book I have ever read

Folks don't waste your money! I have read countless instruction books on many different subjects, and I can say without reservation that this is the worst one yet. This book never once tells the reader how to properly hold and manipulate the airbrush. After briefly touching on inks, gouaches and acrylics,it never explains the different types of paint and how to use them. It starts demonstrations without adequate instruction on how to set up or prepare for the exercise. It completes complex demonstrations in five or six steps, leaving out numerous intermediate steps; and the last step simply states,"the exercise is now finished". This book is a surprise from Watson-Guptill, the publisher of many fine books. By itself, this book will set up the beginning airbrush artist to become frustrated and fail at this interesting craft. So, if this is not your intent, pick another instruction book that is more reader friendly and one that will help, rather than hinder, the beginning airbrush artist.




Review #3

Just not that impressed.

I'm a true bigginer in airbrushing and I bought this book along with two others and this one just isn't very impressive. Its about as thick as a thick magazine and it really doesn't go into much detail. I only paid $3 for it used so i DO think I got my monies worth. I'm not dissapointed just not impressed. Could be because the other two books i ordered were just so much better. Big Book of airbrushing and Complete Studio Handbook. Most impressed by the Complete Studio Handbook from my beginners perspective.
