Hi Charly, In regards to your airbrush, I may be able to give you a little
help. To start with they aren't creatures with cut and dried how to do. You
need to play and practice a lot. If you don't have one I suggest a book on
airbrush use. If you have a two stage A brush one of the great advantages is
push down on the air and start your arm movement so you can pull the lever
back for release of paint before you come to the actual place you want to
paint. now size of your line or dot depends on several things. first the
nozzle adjustment (needle placement) secondly air pressure 28# is a good
place to start. you can adjust up or down to your satisfaction. thirdly
these are not necessarily in chronological order they are all important. the
distant you are working from your subject is important on the results you
will get and the speed you travel across your subject. leave the action on
until after you are passed where you wanted to spray. It is important that
you get your medium to the correct density before you put it in your
airbrush. You want no chunks or thick spots. how you get these to work for
you is Practice, practice , practice.  Good Luck, Jack
