    Default brush handle shape

    What do you all think about this shape,
    upper indent is for thumb and pointer finger to wrap around,
    the next two indents would be for index and ring fingers.
    Rounded bottom for the palm to wrap around the bottom.

    not sure how this picture will scale, but I had drawn it up so the widest part at the top was 40mm in diameter.

    Will it balance on the base OK and not be top heavy? Design looks good and comfortable

    Too obscure for me.

    It's all good, even when it's not.

    I like to flick my brushes dry and I don't think this would work for me, being rounded and more narrow at the bottom.
