I'll get straight to it:
- I've been struggling with freehanding and for the longest time I could not understand how people do it. Then, just for fun, I used my girlfriends brushes she has for her nail art and it was absolute night and day. It was like freehanding with a pencil, and I've realized I've simply been handicapping myself before. Still, I don't understand how people make this. Is there something else I should know of, or is a stiff brush all there is to it (and lots of skill)?
- Continuing from above, I felt that my Winsor & Newton 000 sable brush was not up to the task for freehanding, at least not to me. Can anyone recommend any brushes that are great for freehanding?
- Do people that make showcase minis ever varnish them? I've been experimenting with gloss varnishes and thinning them a lot before painting them on. It makes it a bit more vibrant, but I'm not convinced yet.
- Does anyone ever come back to old minis and improve on them?
- Does anyone feel there's a discrepancy between real life and photography? Just the other day I finished the best miniature I've ever painted, I was so proud, but by the time I got around to the photos to show them off, I was extremely disappointed. So many flaws and it looked like I had spent an hour on it, rather than almost 20. Very disillusioning.
Thank you.
