You can do everything you need to a model with a brush relatively easily. There are a lot of model details you can't do much with using an airbrush. I would personally recommend starting with brushes before going to airbrushes.

I guess I'll agree with this. I did go for a cheap airbrush pretty quickly after I started, now I use it for everything except small details. Check out Next level painting on YouTube.
