First attempt at panel lines.

I think the panel lines are too harsh. I did the left wing with a lead pencil, and it's too light. I did the other with a sharpie, and I think they are too harsh. How do you guys do it?

Sweetwillie, if the panel lines are recessed, you may like to try using a very diluted oil paint mix. Touch the corners with a very fine paint brush and let the paint run into the grooves. Any excess can be wiped off with a dry cloth. Another method I have used in the past is to apply a very dry coat of designers gouache (a water based paint available from any art suppliers) to the panel line areas and let it dry. When dry wipe the gouache off with a lightly dampened cloth or tissue. This will leave the paint in the panel areas only, however be warned both approaches should only be undertaken if the model has been sprayed with a gloss lacquer before hand.

Unfortunately, the panel lines are raised. I was going to do a wash, but with raised panel lines, I couldn't.
