I`m thinking of doing a profile (first one). I am having some issue. Are there any tutorials on basic and adv shading. Any help would be great.

Here are some tutorials:
Simmers Paintshop - Profiles those are specific about profiling. But also browse the other tutorials since many techniques used for skinning also are usefull for making profiles.
After all in both cases you want to apply many of the same effects.

I found this to be pretty helpful:A Novice's Guide to Digital Aviation Profile Art as well as the tutorials on this web site
to be a great start.

I wont hesitate at all I need the help/comments. After doing some more searching, I found some people use the airbrush to apply the shading/shadows. Than use some blur to soften the color. Thats about were Im at Just messing around with a profile of a 109.

There are lots of tricks to do the job. masks and/or selections, fill the area and blur it. Gradients can help and others use the brush. It's just what works best for you.

That's the overly hard way which yields no better results then just doing it with feathered selections which is 10 times faster

The rjlee tutorial is also what I started with a couple years ago. Good starting point. Looking forward to your first bird.
