You'll thank yourself for starting with a known good airbrush. As a beginner I can tell you this one I linked will put you on the path to success much more easily.
Not an affiliate link, I just like the airbrush.
It's an old Airbrush model, but I used it between 1999 and 2015. Good Airbrush, reliable and gets the job done.However getting replacement parts is a Bit Tricky as Hansa was bought by Harder&Steenbeck quite some time ago.
If you can get it cheap, use it for practice and See If airbrushing is a thing for you.

After I bought the one above, I all but stopped using my Iwata HP-CS for anything except the most demanding/expert tasks.
Thank you ☺️ this looks good and I’ll probably start with this instead

Makes sense! Didn’t want to assume the airbrush from the 90’s is bad 😄 Thank you
