Brushes

I let my brushes dry tip down. I use a 3D printed holder I found on the Internet somewhere. I printed some for my friends too!

I have heard people do that. The way they split has never happened to me before.
But then I have never used these brushes before.

Just posting her as an academic exercise more than anything else.
 
I've not noticed my brushes splitting when drying. They used to be stored upright but my main ones are now horizontal and tend to be dried in covers after being reshaped in my mouth. Probably all sorts of bad ideas doing that, especially on the occasions I've forgotten to wash the paint off first.

Metallics and, weirdly, inks seem to make them split most. Along with speed paints, but I've noticed army painter speed paints tend to dry into a gel like consistency in the palette (mostly I thin them to use as washes). But most splits so far have been fixed fairly easily with brush soap.
