Hello everyone

Finish at last! I have no idea when I started painting this but meantime I got my master degree and become phd student. Yay! for me, not so yay for my minis

I need to learn how to make more details on minis head. Now I use gw S Layer Brush. Do I need smaller brush like gw XS Artificer Layer or just better skills?

Sorry for pic quality. Pic made with lumia 735 don't have anything better at the moment, hope its good enough.

votes, comments, hints greatly appreciated.

Welcome.
I think the skill level is fine, judging from the expanded pictures. A finer brush will help you achieve smaller detail levels, but most people have given up on GW's brushes for cost/value and prefer to use makes like Winsor & Newton, DaVinci, Raphael or Rosemary & Co.
There are several threads about this subject in the Painting & Conversion forum.

Thanks for useful tip. Makes names will be really helpful and of course I check forum threads.
Most art shops in my city devide brushes in two category: natural and synthetic. I was never able to buy brushes from the same makes twice. Buying brushes in art shop was like russian roulet. Thats why I stick with GW, they are overpriced but at least I know what i get.
