#Question about edge highlighting/fine details in general

Hi guys,

So I know when edge highlighting you want to use the belly of the brush as much as possible in order to get nice, fine straight line without wiggling.
My main problem however (which I believe stems from me loading the brush incorrectly) is - I feel like barely any paint is being deposited this way but if I try to edge highlight using the tip I get much more paint unloading and better result. However, using the tip makes it VERY hard to control the line.
So I'm kinda stuck - do I just load more paint on the brush and use the belly exclusively?

Thanks in advance!

A lot has to do with how much you thin the paint. The thinner it is, the more it will flow. But it will also be harder to get fine lines.

So you have to strike a bit of a balance in order to get good results.
