i either use my \"bastard brush\" which is a mutilated brush down to a few hairs or generally just use a brush with a uber fine point. the whole key is to load the brush with just the right amount of paint or ink, watered down etc. i really suck at it so what i do is primer some thicker art paper (hot press 80lb bainbridge board) and i test various strokes on that making sure i have the right amount on the brush, which usually i never do and crap bleeds and i use a thicker brush to soak some up quickly. generally practicing on paper before i go ahead on the mini with detailed areas has helped a bit. watering down the paint helps once in a while.
if you mean brand of brush i use any piece of crap with a fine point usually found in game stores but once in a great while art stores.

I\'d use a 5/0 for a start and a 10/0 for eyes and such. I prefer non-synthetic ones for fine painting... what are these animals called in english? I just know the scientific family Muscelidae.
Have a nice day,

I don\'t use them, but has toothpics ever worked for anyone? In my experience it just scratches the paint off.
I use Windsor Newton Series 7 whenever I can...BUT.. have you seen what those things cost?..... Damn! Also I have found a few 10/0 brushes at Michaels that have served me well for fine detail work for $5 or so, but they don\'t last long, start losing a decent point after the third or fourth mini. I thought this hobby would be cheep... Oh well, as grandad used to say if it\'s worth doing.......
Hmmm....
Purely through the power of my mighty translator, totally bypassing any intelligence or skill on my part whatsoever, \'rotmarder\' translates as red marten.
I suspect there is not a whole lot of difference between martens and sables as they are both small, bitey, weasely-type creatures treasured for their ability to turn into fur coats and paint brushes.

Given the demand for fur coats and paintbrushes I think this would fall under the category of mal-adaptation.
Almost, but not quite, as bad as being delicious and slow movinglol

Must be some kind of evolutionary adaption - like mimikry. \"Don\'t eat me, I\'m a paint brush\".
