Color Shapers

[Aldmhac]

Hello Everyone! I recieved some color shapers from my birthday but i have ran into a little dillema... How do i use them, what are they used for? Hopefully someone can help me

In the hobby they\'re generally used for pushing putty - shaping, smoothing and blending out edges. You can of course use them for applying paint if you want to - try using \'em for applying uniform dots for example.

What types did you get?

I have seen people who paint pictures using water colours use them to blend.

I got one that is chisel like, one that looks like lipstick and one tringularish one

ooh never thought of that!

make sure you lubricate them before sculpting. a lick is fine, or if you are using something that can be thinned with water, try talc

I got the triangularish one first myself, not nearly as good as I\'d hoped unfortunately (not that I don\'t use it).

The one profile you didn\'t get - the rounded cone - is the one most people think is the most useful! The chisel strikes me as the next best.
