Loaded Brush

[WolpheBayte]

I have been watching painting videos lately on Painting Buddha lately, and decided to try using the loaded brush technique used by Ben. Man, he makes it look easy. I was experimenting last night and was able to get some parts to look really good and others areas look terrible. It seems to work really well on rounded areas like muscle and armor, but not as good on hard creases like on cloaks or clothing. Has anybody else tried experimenting with this? Any tips or pointers to help get consistent looks?

practice practice practice.
The cloak is basically the same (altough I'd rather tackle it from 2 sides of the highlight). Ben makes it look so easy because he paints about 10+ hours a day and is using this technique for quite a few years now.
