Dry brushing is one of the easiest techniques to learn and master. It's name explains the method. You use a dry brush. The purpose of this technique is to bring quick and easy highlights to rough surfaces. To start A "Dry Brush" has stronger fibers on it because this technique is very hard on the brush. If you don't have a "Dry Brush", use a old "Basecoat Brush". Make sure it is completely dry. Load the tip of the brush with some paint. On newspaper, wipe most of the paint off. Blot the brush with a tissue to make sure the paint is gone. Quickly, and at an extreme angle (almost parallel), run the brush over the rough areas. You will notice color appearing on the raised surfaces of the rough area. On my Orc model. I used "Boltgun Metal" to dry brush and area of chain-mail. I could have also used "Mithril Silver". This is another chance to use inks. After an area of orc armor has been painted. I can use "Chestnut Ink" to make the shiny armor look rusty and used. Another use of dry brushing is to whether tanks or armor. Have the surface painted a non-metallic color. On areas of wear, dry brush edges or small patches of "Boltgun Metal". This will make the armor look like it has taken a few hits or has at least seen better days. |
