The best brush for the finest lines?

[Evelien]

I've been struggling with my faceups and I want to get the thinnest brush for acrylic paint that exists. I heard about 20/0 brushes but apparently they're only for sale in Japan. Does anybody know of a good (online, because of my location, or local if you're willing to ship to me lol) shop that sells supersupersuperfine brushes?

There's a shop about half an hour from me that sells 20/0 liners for something like $7 a piece. They're really good quality. I can check if they have any when I'm on that side of town, on Monday. It's on the way to the courthouse and I have Jury Duty. Blah.

That would be totally awesome!!! I can pay you in advance if you like! I want want want ^^

lol I'll call up tomorrow morning (they closed at 6pm, and it's 6:43 right now) and see if they have any. How many do you want?

[Evelien]

Two should do for now ^^

*squeeeeeee*!!

You can also just pull excess hairs out of a too-large fine brush. I have a single hair brush I use for warhammer models.

I'll try that too, I was thinking about that myself actually, but I want to try different options on my practice head now before I start doing my "real" dolls again ^^

Actually there are 30/0 brushes out there. They are made specifically for hobbiest and are relatively inexpensive. Emory used to sell them at Junkyspot - I don't know if he's got any right now or not though. I believe they are called Reaper Micro Detail 30/0 brushes.

Thanks!! Thanks to you I found these on eBay:

8608 MICRO SABLE BRUSH 40/0 RND Reaper Master Kolinsky

Bought one of both. Okami, one 20/0 will do if they have them!
