Hey Ryan, great video! Its awesome to watch someone work with the airbrush and teach you the tips of the trade. I am just starting out, and have a decent background it art, but nothing in airbrushing. What do you suggest is a great airbrush to purchase that you can get the fine detail with? Also, what type of eraser is that? Can it be used on metal panels? Keep up the great work and vids. Detroit says hello!

My airbrush advice videos answer all of these questions and yes you can use the eraser on metal.

@ronnie692006

I don't know that they teach airbrush in colleges anymore. I live in Oklahoma though. I may be able to hook up some private lessons.

idk if you could answer this or any other good artist reading my question do you thinks its bad to zoom into a reference photo like in the computer or should i just try to draw what i could see in the photo in regular size. is this like a bad habit or will zooming in be helpful

Zooming in is an excellent idea when doing details. I zoom in SUPER far when doing my portraits. I like to draw every single little detail that I can. Just make sure you don't get lost in your painting.

Ok Basic Shapes I dont understand! That totally makes it complicated for me. Why not just use the shape it is? Does breaking it down into parts help you figure out where certain things go easier or what? Every drawing book talks about basic shapes and i never understood it. They always start with a circle. WHY? When the drawing doesnt even look like a circle? Please explain cause im lost!!!
