Painting sock stripes.

[Taylor]

A month ago I was about to start a post but quit cause I forgot what I was going to say. I remembered just recently. I have so much trouble with the top color, the white (both of the sock,) and the shoe. I will get the white almost straight and I try to fix it up, and I go to high into the socks not straight, and I fix it up and the same thing happens with the purple. Anyway, they both of them always get very thick.
This is very confusing, but how do you paint the socks and shoes.
Thanks, Michael

Always paint the shoes and the pants first. That way you have a target field for the socks.

Then paint the solid sock color in the same area as if you were doing skin tone for that on like a college player, where most uniforms don't feature a solid colored sock. Leave enough space to include any stripes later.

If a team has a dual-stripe pattern for example, I'll just start with the outside color on a really wide stripe, then do each color inside of that as needed. Trying to go around and around with stripes for each color in a pattern to get them next to each other will drive you crazy.
