Get some smooth line board mate, I used to use CS10, don't know what it would be called now, or you can get pads of "airbrush paper", it's like a reasonably shiny white card, quite thin but it allows you to scratch out little highlights on it and stuff. Don't use white, just let the white of the board come through, you won't get a better surface to work on.
Good going with those createx though mate !
Treat yourself to a handful of Windsor and Newton water colours in a tube, they're about 5ml in size I think. Don't mix them like water colour though, mix them real dark. They go through the airbrush perfectly, beautiful atomisation, easy clean up too.
Or you could use inks, I used to use Rotring or Daler Rowney inks, they're in a 30ml bottle with a pipet on the top, very vivid colours though. It's nice airbrushing the right way around on a flat surface.
