Another hobby question

I am wanting to paint very fine pitch words on my sanguinary guards "ribbons" that they have adorning their armor. Any hints on how I can do this?

I always use a very fine-tipped brush with either black or some kind of brown paint for the text (whatever looks better or preference).

But I have also heard of some that use micro pens for small stuff like this and 'eye dots'.

Where would I get a micro pen from? I never heard of those before.

But I used a fine brush and pretty watered down black paint and it took pretty good. Wondering if a micro pen would do any better. Maybe less "sloppy" looking?

I've never used a micro pen myself. I think you can get them at any dedicated art supply store. Maybe calling some places in advance and asking about them is the best bet. I don't know of anyone around here using one, but maybe someone will speak up.

Pens are for the weak!

Thin paint, steady hand and a good point on the brush. I also reccomend taking the colour you used for the parchment or whatever the writing is on and thinning it down quite a bit. like 4:1 or so with water:paint. Then take a little bit of that paint and brush it over the writing. It'll look more natural that way.
