I am not a great fan of masking fluid, but I do use it when I can not paint around. I have a small colour shaper (sort of pointed triangular rubber point), it gives me a thin line, but sometimes it is not thin enough. I have tried numerous other tools (cocktail sticks, pins, nibs) but it seems I always struggle to get a very thin hair-like line when painting whiskers.
Any tips would be appreciated. Looking forward to hear what other tools can be put to this task of getting thin hair lines.
