Re: P-51D Mustang

Hi Bluemoon,

I agree with Michael, I find the size of the area dictates the size of the shading brush. I always shade with black so I don't upset the colour balance of the base colour, unless there is a specific reason to. Bare metal is a case in point where you might use different colours. I haven't done a bare metal render yet. I also set the opacity of the shading brush to just 1% or 2%. Then build up the shading gradually till I am happy with it. Don't forget that you can always drop the opacity of your shading layer if you go too far. That's usually a lot easier than trying to fix it with the brush. Don't forget, too, you can use the brush, set to Clear and reduce the opacity to slowly remove pixels as well.
Grubby.
