Tip of the Month: December Edition

To paint camo patterns, use a q-tip.  Start with your base colors with shading and highlights.  Grab a q-tip and smash the point so it widens out.  Don't pull it apart or it will lose its sturdiness and will be harder to control.  Dip it in the paint and dab it on.  Repeat.
Just don't put it in your ear afterwards.

    Simple, yet effective. This will help me with my Blood Axes. Thanks. What lead you to try this out?

    I used this technique when I painted WWII Japanese aircraft and armor.
