Really nice colors! Everything pops without going overboard. Out of curiosity, how did you approach the detail work on the body of the staff? I'm impressed at how neatly you traced the raised sections without spilling into the recesses.

    Lots of practice honestly. General tips though:

    • Get paint on the brush then wick off some of the liquid on a paper towel so it doesn’t run. This might force you to do two layers minimum.
    • Use the side/body of the brush instead of the tip and gently run it over the raised part at almost a 90° angle. similar to how you would do an edge highlight but with a deeper angle. This is the part that takes practice.
