I'm about to start a really complex fine detail symbol on a pony that I'm working on... I'm terrified I'll mess it up and have to start over. Problem is the base also has a complex hand worked gradient on it that I can't duplicate because I mixed the colors and the color dried out.
I'm thinking about putting a sealer over the body and then painting the symbol and sealing it again... is this a bad idea or should it work just fine?
