Painting using Liquid mask workflow ?

[andys]

Just finished 'trying' to paint a shell using liquid mask. It went ok, but not brilliant as when I removed the cut out masked areas the lines weren't as clean as i'd like.

My question is, looking at all the amazing shells around on here, what exactly is the right workflow re masking and cutting the liquid mask, and more importantly how do you cut really nice flowing lines into the masking as mine all look a bit dodgy. There must be something i'm missing as I usually have a pretty steady hand...

Cheers. Andy.
