At the mo I use a brush similar to that of a standard citadel brush but I struggle to get a clean highlight using the edge of the brush, also when i do apply highlights they dry darker than the actual colour so would I need to apply another coat of highlights. (only started highlighting models after having painted them without for while). Any suggestions on what type of brushes to use to get a nice fine clean highlight? And any others tips that could help improve the quality of them. Much thanks to anyone who replies.
