Hi all. Ive done figures for a few months, and while I am happy with them, I know there is a lot more I can improve on. (Most being my shaking hand haha) I was wondering what the procedure is for making creases and such pop out on my figures. I tried just using a darker shade of the same colour, but it just didnt turn out the same. Thanks!

Hi Joe.
You have to imagine where the light source is coming from and paint shadows on the underneath of creases .... but also highlights on the upper side. Hold a flash lamp above your figure and youŽll see approximately where you have to paint.
Show some images of your figure and get more relevant info/help.
