Freehand basics:
@ ate your bananas - first off thank you so much to MEPH and ate your bananas.
to answer your question about str8 freehand. I'm am by no means a freehand officianado. That being said I've done a design or two on quite a number of models in the past. What I can tell you when doing your freehand is 1) sketch it out on paper and draw it a few times and keep your drawing at an estimated size you'll want it to appear on the model.
2) it's a two step process a) PLOT YOUR POINTS.-it's much easier to lay down dotwork and then b) connect the dots .male sure you have a dot for each corner of your illustration.your basically using dots to outline your shape and then simply connect the dots by adding lines.
-when connecting dots use a slightly diluted paint just on your brush tip and "apply your brush strokes with light hand pressure this will keep it easier to control. A brush that bends at r about the middle of its body is much to strong a pressure and this will leave streaks and crooked lines.
so recap: 1) plot points
2) using a light pressure and slightly diluted paint only on the brush tip "connect your dots"
3) if anything is crooked or out of line a bit than go back on your illustration and "tidy up" using the underlying color.examply the magenta I used on the fly motif would be "tidied up" by using the bibs base color of aged bone !!!
