How much do you hang youre needles when colouring/shading ?...i tend to hang shit loads of needle when shading but know guys who sort of ride the tip with a real shallow hang which sometimes if the tip has a tiny raised area or as in some plastic tips which have a small projection from the moulding process can rough the skin up whilst working...I hope ive explained what im trying to say? and im not trying to teach you how to suck eggs.
