Highlighting

Highlighting is another method of placing "light" on raised areas of the model. This will help contrast with the shadow of inking and give your model even more depth. Do not take highlighting to an extreme or your model will have a cartoon look to it. This is ok, if that is what you want. To highlight your model, pick the surface to highlight. Chose a lighter shade of the basecoat. Artistically shade ridges, highpoints, and any other areas where a lot of light should hit the model. On my Orc, I used "Snot Green". It is lighter and brighter in color than "Goblin Green". On the raised areas on the Orc's muscles, I applied small amounts of "Snot Green". This is very similar to dry brushing with the exception that you are using a wet brush and are doing a better job controlling the paint. You can also free-hand draw with "Skull White" on the ridges of really shiny weapons and armor.
