Usually for the first pass I'll add more water since that's where I'm sketching in the design. You can see that on the front of the arm as most of the orange lines are still in that early state. When I go back in for the final version of the design, I use less water. It depends on what I'm doing (like how much shading I want to do or how sure I am of the design), but there are times where I'll have the paint thick enough for complete coverage in one layer and times when I'll thin it to apply several layers. But in general the design paint is not thinned as much as the background colorsBaileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15794592010276446586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-131626936172758901.post-59793984214212057162015-10-31T17:55:54.384-07:002015-10-31T17:55:54.384-07:00David, do you use any additives for your free-hand...David, do you use any additives for your free-hand, e.g. flow enhancer?
