I would love to see a wood tutorial. I know there's the shield video, but it would be cool to see how you would drybrush a building or a ship.

I followed your advice and dry brushed a metallic bronze armor. The result was so good I didn't even need to do all the detail work I planned to do. Thanks for another solid time saving tip!

the things ive learned about dry brushing from watching your videos are priceless

Amazing result! I would love to see a tutorial for REALLY dark metal, preferably of a brown variety like bronze/copper, using drybrushing. I think it is quite hard to get it to look dark but still make it pop.

Very solid, I feel like the gold/bronze bits on the horse's armor could've started with a bit more juicy gold to make them shine more but overall hella nice. Always a pleasure watching.

Incredible work as always, getting 99% of the results for a fraction of the time is a huge win as most of us hobby folks have a weighty backlog.

I used to think my twin hobbies of painting miniatures and bouldering was an odd combination. It's good to know im not the only one 😅

When the soothing music and voice-over mix with how satisfying the painting is. 👍 Added to my ADHD and trying to decompress from a long day yesterday, I nodded off 😂 Time to rewatch from where I took a peaceful nap.

Awesome result. That silver really looked amazing!

Ive been really enjoying painting my wolves, mostly following your video with drybrushing and then finishing them with mostly my 0. Your brushes and techniques just fills me with this weird confidence i can use to get stuff done despite these being basically my first models. Love what you're doing!

Painting models that I print out is a skill I am slowly learning. I happened to run across your channel and I've learned so much!!! Keep up the great work!!!

nice to see that you went your way to paint it or you might have done it and not been happy ,but all painters deep down are not all ways happy with what they do ,but i always say it's always better to have a go than to back off and wish you had tried ,some time when i paint a figure i end up hitting a brick wall then i can't get started again because i have spent to much time thinking about the detail ,then wished i had started a different way but i'm now getting myself back on track as with me watching more videos on you guy's making models and painting them has put my mind set back on track ,the model you have done has turned out awsome cause you have had a go at painting like the guy's that have been doing this for years and doing experiments with different painting techniques for years to so the end results have turned out nice job!...................

Wonderful job! I love the dry brushing methods you use. I’ve learned a ton from you already. 👍🏻

I think you'd love the AK True Metal range of "wax" metallics. They work just like oils, are thinned with mineral spirits and work incredibly well with other oils and enamels. They're soooo good for drybrushing metallics and you can get amazing blends. Would love to see your take on them.

Loved it. Very helpful techniques, and I really connected with attention span part

I wish I'd found this video before I glued the whole model together! I will give the approach a good go, but imagine it will be a hybrid approach now.

Awesome work Byron, looks amazing!

Your drybrush techniques helped me greatly with my Dreadknight. I never thought to drybrush over a wash, but the results are perfect. I was trying desperately to get the Grey Knights blue shading with just Drakenhof Nightshade overtop of Iron Hands Silver, and it was WAY too loud. Had I drybrushed over my old models, it might have fixed my problem. I keep trying to replicate Tabletop Ready's Grey Knights - I love his aesthetic. Your technique helped get me there.

I really like the magenta, it gave it an eldritch look. I really enjoy your work. Thank you.

Fantastic! love your work. You’re an incredibly talented individual.

I put this on as background noise while I did some long needed work, suffice it to say, I did not get anything done as planned. I thoroughly enjoyed this video and definitely had some "holy crap, I'm stealing that" moments. The comment sent to you about the background was spot on. Your glamour shots at the end were excellent. Consider me subscribed. (p.s. I have also recently purchased one of your texture palates and brush sponge. I see I need to go back for a set of D series brushes).

Quite new to painting overall but watching these videos has really helped with my confidence and building intuition as a painter. Would love to see some work done on larger tyranid models as well, as they differ quite a lot to the smaller ones I've been starting with.

I noticed your subs went way up almost 100,000 lets goooo!!!

Looking great! Drybrushing my Necrons has been my go-to for army painting since I started back with 40k back in 2021. But this just makes me realise I can push my character models so much further. Also, I went back to your previous OSL video yesterday to check the colour recipes again, and noticed I had the top comment. Were you being serious about top comment getting some brushes? 😳

So where did "you can't drybrush metallics" come from? We were doing it in 1995 and before. Good video

Can you do a video on the best approach to freehanding? Like paint consistency and alike. Model turned out great and the self-made backdrop just adds 'that' bit to the overall thing. Wonderful piece.

Amazing!!! I love the color of your eyes so much better than the box art

Great results with metallics. Unbelievable in the amount of time it took.

Looks almost identical! Great job!👍🏽👌

Dry brushing best painting method for metallics

Amazing video! Great work. I'd love to see your take on more Seraphon especially Kroxigor

Great tutorial and give it up for painters who climb!

I think what you are reading as vertigris on the armour is actually the blue glow of magic as well. Vertigris wouldn't form like that on the mount's armour - especially without a whole lot more rust on the steel/silver looking bits. That's why they have the same blue for the glowing bits. :) That said, another great video of this type!

😮beautiful job Byron , and I preferred the osl colour , I think it made the model pop . I know you have your preferred paints , but have you thought of make your own line of paints and washes ? You could call them “ recess paints “ 😂

You inspired me to crack out a cheap make up brush to dry brush a werewolf … I managed it 99% (a little normal painting to hit the eyes and inside the mouth)… super proud thank you

Beautiful. I enjoyed the video very much!

Brilliant tutorial, thanks! 🙂

Would love to see you tackle a titan from Adeptus Titanicus or some tanks from Legions Imperialis when it is released.

What a zoggin gem this guy

Fantastic video, I actually prefer your paint job with the magenta over the GW box art. Very inspiring 👌🏽

That was awesome

Even pro painters who have won competitions will say that GW boxart style is almost unnecessarily detailed and clean - award winning pieces aren't painted to the same standard. It's all for GW's high res, up close photography. Results such as in this video aren't just hobby hacks or "good enough" - this IS professional level results which is far more achievable than folks have been led to believe. (Thanks to how publicized the 'Eavy Metal" paint style is.)

Wish I could get those brushes.

I'd love to see this done for something that's not metallic on metallic. Like a 40k chaos marine where it's usually colored armor with metallic trim.

Another great and more comprehensive tutorial. Do you have any plans to revisit any previous tutorials and go more in depth on various techniqies and hows and whys? Also, as a tackle requeat. If it fits in with what you do. Could you show us a Lord of Change or Magnus the Red. As they are in my mind good examples of models that feature large areas of both skin and feathered/ winged textures. Or Marines with heavy trim.

I made the mistake of gluing the rider to the mount - made painting a lot more tricky :)

good to know I'm not the only one that loses attention once all the hard work is done

Thanks

Great, I love it. Ok, seems like I need to buy separate brash for metric dry brashing 😅

How do you push yourself through those barriers where you find yourself stalling in motivation??

Amazing work mate! Its looking so smooth. I’m on painting 2k army slaves and I have two genuine questions that I hope you can answer and help me understand - how I can make that process for a large army? I mean how I can put everytime the equal amount of mixing black and silver to make all the model the same? -It’s possible use a more fluid liquid for that kind of day brush? I’m rally want use Vallejo Metal color like Burn Iron (very dark iron) Thank you and sorry for the long question 😊

that was fun to watch, great model. I'm confused what they were doing with the armor there though because it looks like gold but it has verdigris on it so I'm guessing it's supposed to be copper? i didnt think gold turns green

Oh I misunderstood I thought you did the 7 day version too I didn't catch you saying that was done by the Eavy Metal team. Honestly after looking at the two side by side at 50:53 I honestly prefer yours to theirs even if the gold horse armor isn't as orange as the boxart, I like everything else more. I screwed up my first Eternus by gluing him all together. After watching a couple videos of him, including yours, I can see he's definitely meant to be subassemblied. Guess I'll just use him for practice where I can in trying this method.

Can’t wait for this!

Bit of a coincidence this coming out right as I get my hands on this guy... I'll be sure to re-watch this in a years time when I get to painting him :P Here's a question though. Given all the different variants of golds and silvers, how do you decide which ones to use? Just ol faithful or is there method to the madness?

I have always drybrushed my metallics, since 1988. I didn't realise it was a "can't do" thing.

Will there be a tutorial on how to paint/dry brush Nurgle armor?

Your videos have helped me so much with my painting, thanks for that! What is the handle you use when you paint the horse's head?

11 hours, too much time to wait!!!

Amazing job! Is there any chance for you to make a video about drybrush paiting a human skin, especially on female figures? I enjoy your videos very much! All the best! 😄

man i wish i could be half as good as you are

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?

Man, I hate it when I miss a bit of horsey foot armour. 🤣

When you were highlighting the leather do you think it would look good to stipple a texture on the leather and then edge highlight or would that be too much?

When that palette is full of paint do you reprime it or how does it work practically for longevity?

Would it also be possible to keep the black armor (prime chaos black) of the standard chaos knights and drybrush it with something like eshin grey to make it pop more, but still have the black armor "painted" in no time and still look good?

Hello how did you do the skulls? Not sure if i missed it in the video, ty!

I have a question regarding paints: can I use Citadel? and why don't you use Citadel in your painting videos?

Any chance on how to do a fast but effective black cloth? I’m going to be tackling 20 Soulblight Gravelords Black Knights soon?

Back with another questions since my last one. Do you think paints to could benefit either from adding drying retarder and/or flow improver, either directly into the paint or a bit in to the bristles of the brush? I wonder if this could help the paint go off smoother.

Should there be any concern about metallics contaminating the dampening pad for when you're not using metallics on the same miniature or should I keep a pad separate for metallics? I'm probably overthinking it as usual,haha. Cheers

Can anyone help me with a tine stamp for when he puts the white into weapons runes before adding the pink?

Oil Washes FTW. Super easy and much faster than acrylics.

Are there any special considerations if using inks instead of paints for dry brushing? Specifically want to try this for white

Curious if there is any concerns with the metalic paints degrading the dry brushes iv heard to avoid using metalics with nice brushes as they can be quite rough on brushes so iv been avoiding using metalics with my series D but after watching this I have a feeling that isn't a concern

I wanted to ask where do you live that in the middle of summer you are wearing a wool sweater and a flannel shirt? In Antarctica? ;)

Where do you get those little cups you use for washes? And how can we get that standee thingy for your instructions/reference/tablet?

2:29 What is exactly that thing you're using??

I just realized I haven’t been subscribed. Fixed that.

Do you only do Warhammer/Warhammer 40K miniatures? I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to see your expert skills applied to something like BattleTech mechs or Dragons from Reaper. Your work is stunning, and seeing it applied to non-GW figures will help showcase it better.

Can you dry brush Tamiya paints?

Does using metallics with those drybrushes damage them from the metallic particles?

Would this work on stormcast

Honestly, I wonder how much difference 7 days of drybrushing would make compared to 7 hours on the finished model.

Bob Ross would say… happy accident

Good? Yes. Insane? No.

God this paint job suxs! No, its not your fault, you have done a good job copying the reference of the box. Its the GW original itself. You should have painted the mini ... NVM.

First 😁

Very, very nice. Love them.

As a new painter, the jump cuts through steps makes your content worthless to me. Saying some words that mean nothing to a new person, putting your brush to model once then jumping ahead accomplishes nothing.
