    First time using an airbrush in 20 years

    So, I got a wild bug up my ass and bought a compressor. It came with a cheap shit little airbrush, although the compressor is nice. Relatively quite with a tank and a regulator. It's all I need. I ordered myself a nice Japanese made Rich airbrush as well but I couldn't wait and had to try it out. So this is done with an almost terrible china made double action airbrush sometimes a crap tool can be used for art, however anything heavier than ink will make it choke. So tell me what you think. All freehand no pencil sketch just off and running. It's ink on card stock with a little white paint for highlights.



    As well here is some detail and progress.



    And here is a link to my Instagram

    Well what do you guys think? I am thinking of putting it up for sale, or should I just keep it?

    Hard to critique something that looks good. The only suggestion i would have would be possibly denser blacks in the eye nose and mouth areas to make greater contrast. This is cool man!!

    I agree 100% I think I need to take a brush and nock a little more solid black I. The nose and around the eyes. Especially at the tops of the eye sockets to sink them back some.

    No worries there. I have bought two more airbrushes and if I know how I am with tattoo machines then I will have 5-10 more by the end of the year.

    Well it is for sale I imagine. It's not very big 8 1/2 x 11 ( A4 ) what do you think something like that should be priced at? I am thinking of making an Etsy account for selling paintings or maybe a Deviant Art account. Anyone have any experience with either. I know Deviant is more geared at prints.
