FAQ
Q: How long does it take to learn how to airbrush? How long do I need to learn for?
A: It takes me four to five days to get most students doing nice clean block lettering, but more importantly, by the fourth day, students are airbrushing independantly, self correcting the common problems that occur with airbrushing such as paint build up on the needle tip, for example. However, it takes another week to get students doing slick, clean, scriptive lettering and basic imagery, and another week to get into putting it all together with all sorts of bells and whistles and effects, and so on. So the answer to the question is it takes about four to five weeks to get most students to the a level that they fantisized about achieving in the first place.
