Hello Everyone

I bought a £16 airbrush off ebay last year on a bit of a whim, decided I quite fancied learning how to use it and went on the beginners course at the Airbrush Academy in January, I've connected it to my compressor in the garage and have been having a bit of a go whenever I get the chance.

Welcome to the forum, your doing ok so far, the class with Mick has paid off. Keep painting when you can, there's no substitute for it. If you want some tutorials theres a few free ones on the https://www.airbrushtutor.com/ You will have to sign up but there are some good ones on there.
Also don't forget mick has the website with all those tutorials on there to watch. https://learntoairbrush.vhx.tv/

Keep painting, your in the right place to learn and hopefully become part of our big airbrush family.

Welcome from Australia,
I can see a spider on the High Heel Your pressure's to high or paint to thin or a combination of both. Nobody is immune to spiders, they do attack people every now and then
Fire looks a little to stenciled, there is an art to stencils so your work doesnt look stenciled.

All in all though a good start

Welcome to the forum from China! Great outcome for a £16 airbrush, I like the high heels picture a lot.

Cheers I'm gradually getting a bit better at the fire thing I think. I've done a few since with a bit less stencil. On the shoe I was using the paint pretty thin, I was having a lot of trouble with tip dry, I suspect because it was near freezing in the garage at the time perhaps? I'll keep plugging away at it. I need to repeat the shoe picture as my neighbour wants a copy. I'll do it a bit bigger next time though, that one was only on a bit of steel about playing card size.
