hi, my name is Bartek, I'm from Poland.
I discovered airbrush again few months ago and I wanted take it seriously. I took the course, bought Iwata Eclipse and started training. As a motorcyclist I'm interested in custom/automotive painting. I'm glad I found this forum and I count on your support. So far, my profession is photography and i will be pleased if i could share some advice with you in this area if you need to.

We have artists of all ages, skill levels and subject interests, from portraits to warhammer miniatures to fishing lures to automotive. Don't be scared to ask questions if you need to.
Hi Barto, welcome from the UK. Lots of friendly people, talent and learning here. I'm sure people will be happy to have a photographer around too. I know I struggle with photographing clear coated items.
Post some of your pics in Open bar, where we talk about everything not airbrush related.
Hope to see your airbrushing around here soon.
Welcome Bartek. We have a few fellow bikers here and loads of automotive painting fans. I ride and love the automotive style of painting. What bike to you have? Any work that you’re happy to share, post up so we can have a look, we all like to see loads of different work.

I put some pics of my last artwork in my gallery already.
The bike is Honda NC700X.
Oh ok sorry, I missed the gallery but will check it out now.
If you are a professional photographer the you already have a 'good eye' for what looks right. Now you just have to transfer that to paint and paper.
I'm sure if you had some photographs that you'd be happy for people to use as references then we'd be more than happy to see them. We have a 'References' section on the forum that members upload interesting pictures that they think will help people when they're looking for something to paint.
What are the most desirable subjects?
sometimes everyday objects can make interesting subjects eg: Wine glass, half full, minimal background but the glass has a lot of highlights.
really anything that could be 'challenging' to those starting out, practicing textures / highlights etc.
Not sure if that is really helpful, sometimes simple images can be as challenging as more complex ones.
