'Don't go in dry': wise words for many situations

[valourousheart]

I don’t have steady hands, so I use dry brushing as an alternative to edge highlights, simply follow up a heavy dry brush with a wash. Gives a nice sharp edge on vehicles and armor without the toonish appearance I get when trying to edge highlight. For example a Deathwing color scheme zandri dust spray, heavy dry brush with terminus stone, then wash with agrax earth shade… that gets your armor 90% done. Or dome enough to start working on other colors.

Great to see another 'Explained In 5 Minutes' video. They're all brilliant - clearly explained, informative and entertaining (which keeps me engaged) - and this is no exception. Thank you and please keep making them! I'm also DELIGHTED to see you're going to be streaming! 😀

Best way I've found is to think of it as the 'wet brush dry paint' technique, you want your paint thick because that creates a nice strong colour to apply with (I've left paint to dry for 5-10 minutes before to ensure this and it worked amazing) and then of course the damp brush so that the paint wants to slide off the brush whilst still being smooth.

You're the best . I just upvote before watching i like how you dont wast my time. Even the fluff is entertaining. Thanks man for the no bs lessons which keeps my short attention from wondering. If i ever win any painting competition ill be sure to to give credit where credit is due.

This video actually fixed my main problem I had. I was wondering why my models were either too dusty or I had too much texture on it. My brush was not damp.

Great to see you giving drybrushing the 5-minute treatment!

If we cross paths at a con please come and say hello, we could do some in person :)

I’m trying to figure out what I learned here.

You now made me very happy I bought a Leviathan box

[russellrains]

I'd love to see more bugs painted in this scheme. It is quite cool!

Hey, Zumikito, thank you for your videos - I am using them as a manuals for improving my painter skills❤❤❤

The mold line on the necron arm actually looks good to me, almost like the sharp edge of a mechanical part.

I think some dry dusty texture might work if you are going for a layer that represents recent dust that has come from the battlefield that has been kicked up. probally a finishing layer for active dusty battles

If you dont have a dampening pad you can use your wet pallete in a similar manner.

This was a good tutorial. Thank you for teaching me something new.
