    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.

  • @oliverp3545
    @oliverp3545 Год назад +13

    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.

      Hobby trick call sprue glue… it’s tamiya ultra thin with old sprues tossed in and melted into the glue mix to create a plastic glue. I believe zumikito or another mini painter RUclipsr talks about it in another video of theirs. It’s your gap filler only glue, basically one bottle devoted to this stuff, not your regular glue. Hope that helps!

    I will start drybrushing very soon. But what i had to ask. After a session u have to clean your pallet right? Some creators build a pallet out of old plastic pieces or so. I thought that would be very hard to clean up. but if you dont do that then the pigments are still there right and you will eventually reactivate them in the next session. Also if you use very light colors that could be a problem or isnt it if the old paint is totaly dry?

    • @Zumikito
      @Zumikito  Год назад +1

      most of the time it's not a problem, but if you are worried about it, you can simply prime the drybrushing palette again so you don't have to clean up anything

      Sprue goo.
      When your plastic glue runs low, toss some fine sliced sprue bits in.
      They dissolve into a liquid plastic paste.
      Use a new clean glue bottle for gluing, use the goo for filling.
      As each clean glue bottle runs low, and the brush doesn't reach the bottom, add it to the goo.
      You can keep a goo bottle going for years.

    The big issue I have with dry brushing is that always ends up looking flat, dull and chalky. Yes it highlights the raised edges but also makes the surface look two dimensional. And it's just so overused and obvious.
    Zenithal airbrushing followed with a wash (or pin wash) to always looks SO much better and you can then use edge highlighting to bring out the to top level detail, if needed.
