/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Probably the wrong board but I'll ask in this thread anyway since /toy/ doesn't have a garage/resin kit thread atm.

Anyone give me a rundown on basics for acrylics and airbrushes? I want to finally learn painting and assembling resin kit figures this year but I've never done it before and don't want to fuck up a $50 kit on my first attempt. I know you either use acrylic, enamel, or lacquer but since the latter two apparently give you cancer without proper safety equipment I'll stick to acrylics for airbrushing.

Spent the evening with friends celebrating one of their birthdays, drank a good bit and had a good time. Felt guilty that I didn't draw too much cause I woke up late, but I've been drawing a lot more in the last 2 weeks than usual, so this break felt nice. Gonna stay up an extra hour and a half to work on some sketches anyway, so not a completely unproductive day.
