A larger nozzle like this means no reduction so quicker coverage, and of a larger area. Plus if you're into using effects paints such as metallics or pearls etc its way easier. I use a .5 for this, but even then it can take a little coaxing. But I can get some pretty fine lines from the .5, and I'm sure a .7 can too.

Ok i completely read the bottom of his post wrong. Note to self have at least one cup of coffee before reading morning posts.Sorry Mike.
its all good, and yes a .7mm can pull some nice lines without reduction, my happy place is .3mm or even .5

Cool i just need to keep at it.
We've all been where you are, its frustrating but if you're serious about learning this thing we call 'fun' then we're here anytime you need answers, reassurance, confirmation or just need to have a moan to. The forum motto is 'spread the love' so we try our best.
You'll get there, you have the right attitude. When it all starts to come together it really is enjoyable.

I used to paint models with a airbrush and can put a mirror finish on one so when i wanted to step up to illustration painting i thought how hard can it be. Finding out pretty hard, but i refuse to give up. Well back to practising.

I also didn't realize just how many hours can go into a single piece, especially when it comes to realism..

I firmly believe that dots and dagger strokes are for serious artists... I prefer the "spray and pray" method, its hella more fun!I still can't do straight lines and dagger stroke's I shake too much!

You must try @Squishy's "wing it woman" method, I'm sure you won't have to wear her stocking or fluffy slippers for it to work.
