Here's some tips and tricks that might help you.\r\n\r\n - Before you start, always wash your figures / fodder and make sure they are 100% dry before you begin.  Get rid of all the factory mold release residue on the plastic, so that paint can adhere to it better.\r\n\r\n - Prime your figures.  I recommend Tamiya Fine White primer. It is the BEST around and will give you a smooth, even surface to paint on.  Spray on the primer in light passes, essentially passing OVER your figure as you spray, never ever directly onto the figure.  That will get gloppy and will dry uneven.\r\n\r\n - Invest in GOOD BRUSHES.  These are GREAT.  I use them all the time.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M7UFLP5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1\r\n\r\n - Paint with light, watery layers.  Never directly from the bottle.  Build up the color and do it slowly.  \r\n\r\n - Every 4 or 5 coats, I spray my customs with a sealant.  It helps lock down the color and also allows for more even coverage.  It also acts like a barrier in case you mess up, you can easily wipe off the paint.  I like to use Krylon Matte Finish.\r\n\r\n - Eyes are really tough, but if you have patience, and a small enough brush you can do it.  Look at the other figures and see how they are painted.  Usually a solid holding line around the white, then an iris color, a pupil and a small white highlight dot.  GO SLOW.\r\n\r\n - Don't be heavy handed with washes or drybrush.  That will only gum up the surface and make it harder to see the fine detail.\r\n\r\n - Finally, practice, practice, practice.  Keep at it.  You're on the right road - and if you need any help, or have any questions, I'm happy to chat it up.","subreddit_name":"ActionFigures","author":"joshuaizzo"},{"body":"You can get good sets on amazon for like 20 bux that work just fine.\r\n\r\nIve used this set Miniature Paint Brushes Detail Set -12pc Minute Series XII Miniature Brushes for Fine Detailing.

Search for miniature detail brushes.  The set I have has some general mini-painting brushes, but about half of them are the detail brushes.  This same manufacturer has multiple options on Amazon.  The brushes are really good, and they are well packaged.","subreddit_name":"acrylicpainting","author":"MuttsandHuskies"},{"body":"The more I paint, and the more brushes I gather, the more I realize I don't really use the middle size brushes much.  I use tiny, tiny ones, or the bigger ones.   I have a couple of flats (bristles make a square shape) that are 1 1/2 to 2 inches (3-5 cm) that I use frequently, as well as a bunch of detail size brushes, like [these](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M7UFLP5?psc=1\u0026amp;ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details) .  I do like filberts (rounded) in almost any size.  And the pointed ones, called rounds in all the sizes.  The angled brushes, I tend to like smaller, less than 1cm.  If I was doing really large paintings, bigger than 18\"x24\" (45x60 cm) I think I'd want more of the middle size brushes.\r\n\r\nAll of what I said, though, depends on her style of painting.  Abstracts have a different brush dynamic than more realistic paintings, and the brushes can be bigger and looser.  Hyper-realistic paintings really rely on more detail.\r\n\r\nAnyone else have an idea?","subreddit_name":"acrylicpainting","author":"MuttsandHuskies"},{"body":"Yeah I’ve really enjoyed AP’s primer and paints and varnish.
