So I tried again with low.pressure and trying harder to get a decent consistency to my paint.

I went from this


To this



To this


The effect looks maybe a bit subtle to.me. Did I put the green on too thick, or is this about the best you can expect from the technique without using inks or transparent media?

However I think i did ok with the grey up to white. Not award winning, but ok, or am I just deluding myself

Paint wise it looks alright. Smooth with no pooled areas. Itooks quite subtle so you could go darker with the pre shade if you wished.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795167/11023085.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795167/11023085.page GMT

The effect I was going for was highlights around edges of things basically. I have watched various videos and totally missed the.panel lines thing! I thought it was some kind of black magic that led to choice of shading...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795167/11023088.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795167/11023088.page GMT
Personally though I think what you've got looks good. Subtle is a nice place to start, since you have room in both directions for additional shaded areas and highlights. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795167/11023144.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795167/11023144.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795167/11023251.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795167/11023251.page GMT
