Ok so i saw a lot of vids with people using what looks like a folded index card to draw out trees nd such. I tried it and it didn't work so well. How do you control it and make thin solid looking lines?

what i do is hold the sides where the paint will come out. just by the presure you put on it will determine how thin or thick it will come out. ive also seen a different technique useing a newspaper tapered at one end and you use it like a pencil.

it does take some practice.. hope that helps ;)

i fold lenthwise and spray paint. i pinch it near the front so theres a hole about the size of the O on your keyboard, spray some paint in and do a test line. then make your trees and such. you can also make a funnel with a piece of construction paper that does the same thing

To make thinner lines, instead of folding index card, fold a piece of the magazine twice or even once if you have a thick one. The thinner the paper, the sharper the crease, the smaller the lines. It work me.
