I bought the digital book from monstermakers a really long time ago and it covers from modeling, to painting a head mask.

I also found couple of days ago a site that shows the painting prossess for a Lineage 2 dark elf kit and is quite interesting, but is not a tutorial.

When using an airbrush and depending on the model of the tool, you have to be carefull on how diluted the paints are. Also knowing how to assemble and disassemble your airbrush is a must and be very carefull with your airbrush kneedle.
Other than that its very difficult to give tutorials or walktrough with words

I did a lot of airbrushing in my day, and I would recommend Iwata as an airbrush brand to use. I used 20 lb CO2 cylinders (would not recommend these days) or a silent air compressor as air sources. You can get away with a cheap compressor, though they are noisy.
Here are a couple links you might be interested in:

http://www.monstermakers.com/paintdemo.html

I see the second link is a detailed repeat of Glenfx’s.

oh wow! reply’s! :slight_smile: Thanks guys. Its hard to find any dvd’s covering airbrushing/painting sculptures… or masks, and I’ve actually been looking for some “workshops” in the area. I know CGTalk has more of a 3d based community… but I figured some of you guys came in contact with sculpting/airbrushing when maybe doing concepts etc…etc.

Thanks again for the links!
