Richard

A quick search on Google turned up the following result: http://www.militarymodelling.com/forums/postings.asp?th=23796

Looks like it will answer your question.

Anthony

No worries mate - all I did was Google the subject. I wasn't aware of it either and have now saved the file for future reference.

Not to hijack Richard's thread, but I have to say that Andy's SBS (link above) is one of the best I've ever read on the fundamentals and theory behind shading with acrylics.

Although I'm an oil painter myself, I've book marked it for future reference for those folks who ask about acrylic painting techniques.

Well done, Andy!

(BTW: The boot lace tip is an instant classic!)
