We introduce each skill in a logical and exciting way. In our book, each skill is cumulative, so grasping each technique is easier than tackling them out of order as you would if you were self taught and left to sift through a cluster of internet information that is not necessarily correct. Our method is successful, because we have taken the entire contents of an Intro to Airbrushing class, and made it into a workbook... yes a WORKBOOK! The skills are introduced in an interesting way, and each lesson has a corresponding workbook page that can be practiced over and over until you are proficient at each skill! There has never been anything like this before! With over 50 lessons, you will master each skill and work up to the four beautiful and challenging final projects. We cover all the basics that you need to know to get set up in airbrushing: types of airbrushes, compressors, paint, substrates, etc....even how to properly hold an airbrush and how to clean it. We are so thorough and innovative, we have earned the endorsement of Anest Iwata-Medea, Inc. AND Grex Airbrushes. A course like this costs hundreds of dollars just for tuition if you were to attend a workshop. With travel and lodging, you can spend thousands of dollars for just ONE course.

Many of us want to learn “how to draw.” But as artist Anthony Ryder explains, it’s much more important to learn what to draw. In other words, to observe and draw what we actually see, rather than what we think we see. When it comes to drawing the human figure, this means letting go of learned ideas and expectation of what the figure should look like. It means carefully observing the interplay of form and light, shape and line, that combine to create the actual appearance of human form. In The Artist’s Complete Guide to Figure Drawing, amateur and experienced artists alike are guided toward this new way of seeing and drawing the figure with a three-step drawing method. The book’s progressive course starts with the block-in, an exercise in seeing and establishing the figure’s shape. It then build to the contour, a refined line drawing that represents the figure’s silhouette. The last step is tonal work on the inside of the contour, when light and shadow are shaped to create the illusion of form. Separate chapters explore topics critical to the method: gesture, which expresses a sense of living energy to the figure; light, which largely determines how we see the model; and form, which conveys the figure’s volume and mass. Examples, step-by-steps, and special “tips” offer helpful hints and practical guidance throughout. Lavishly illustrated with the author’s stunning artwork, The Artist’s Complete Guide to Figure Drawing combines solid instruction with thoughtful meditations on the art of drawing, to both instruct and inspire artists of all levels.

If you are new to airbrushing, thinking about buying an airbrush, or just want to know more about how they work and how to take care of them, this book was meant for you.It goes from basic theory to actual construction with over 40 illustrations, mostly of commercially available airbrushes. And, it includes chapters on cleaning, usage, and troubleshooting common problems. The book is short, but there is no padding or useless filler. Everything in it is there for a purpose. And, that purpose is to share what I have learned about airbrushes over the past several years. It is not about airbrushing technique or how to build or paint models. But, it will give you a good understanding of the device itself. The author is the creator of a website called, amazingly enough, Don's Airbrush Tips. The site was begun in 2008 and has grown to over 60 pages of tips and reviews.
