the big book of airbrush

Excellent source of information for all levels of airbrushing. A complete and valuable ready reference in many techniques and styles. A must for your collection.

There are better overall airbrush books.

All airbrush books have to explain the technical stuff of the little machines you paint with, but this one moves quickly on to paints, the several masking techniques, and such art basics as perspective, shading and color mixing -- obviously, for people who have no prior art background. Halfway through the book, we finally get to using the dratted thing. They also show that truly fine "airbrush paintings" still require the brush or colored pencil for the finer points.

Not for the hobbiest

If you plan to get serious about airbrush, buy this book. The author takes you from baby steps to mountain climbing. While there is a fair amount of time spent on seemingly non-airbursh topics like the fundamentals of perspective, shadows and drawing in general, the examples and exercises take the reader to the deepest part of the art of the airbrush. Well layed out and enlightening. The book could, however, benefit from the addition of more intermediate exercises.
