Comment on Airbrush or traditional painting when coloring prints?

It is all about aesthetic choice and preferred workflow.
I don’t touch airbrushes. I paint everything traditionally, and I’ve done a lot of prints. I know many people use airbrushes for either speed or just because they prefer the look.
What exactly are you planning to paint?

I’m interested in doing it for figures/busts and cosplay parts

I think for cosplay, you would like an airbrush. You won’t be as concerned about teeny tiny details the way a miniature painter will be, and airbrushes can allow you to do large areas with even coverage and easily and quickly make gradients.
For miniature figures, it is a much more taste based consideration, but if you’re already getting the airbrush for cosplay you may as well use it on figures in some capacity.
