If you would like, I can show you a pic of how small the brush is.

What I do is one primary line which is the longest, then follow it up with another line along side it merging with the last. But make this one shorter.

Sorry that wa a really bad explanation. hopefully someone can fix you with a better description.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250575/877723.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250575/877723.page GMT Tau coloring http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250575/877760.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250575/877760.page GMT Re:Tau coloring IMO) probably one of the easiest ways to do it.

Nope, no sarcasm intended. Genuinely thought the painting tip was a good one

@ Dakka, perhaps we should have a sarcasm orkmoticon? (I tend to use the confused, rolling eyes one for this purpose)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250575/877851.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250575/877851.page GMT Re:Tau coloring

I do this.

I have one of those thin small brushes, but my hands shake too much to ever fill in fine details flawlessly the first time so I don't bother trying. After I touch it up you can't tell the difference.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250575/877880.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250575/877880.page GMT Re:Tau coloring http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250575/878146.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250575/878146.page GMT Re:Tau coloring

Try spacing the lines out a little further when you paint, and gradually close the distance between them as you improve. Nothing says you have to have 2 or 3 lines for the Sept' marks. Just as long as they have a clear Sept' designation, that should be enough. Practice on that first. Also, rest your hands on something solid when you paint details. This will help you control shaking. I like to kneel down in front of the counter/table I'm painting on and rest my wrists on the edge of the table. Makes the ol' feelers nice and steady. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250575/879595.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/250575/879595.page GMT
