I've been painting minis off and on for years and this is the first time I've ever seen drybrushing thoroughly explained. Tutorials always assume you know the very basics, like how paint should be on a brush, how much to wipe off, what part of the brush to get the paint on, etc, but if you've never done it you need a guide like this. Perfect video! Thank you so much for covering this!

Dry brushing is a beginner technique, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t useful. Most beginners use dry brushing as a crutch. And that’s okay. Eventually you will get away from it entirely, then magically come back to it. Painting is a journey, and every tool is useful. Also: If your “blood is boiling” over people’s opinions on painting models, maybe this hobby isn’t for you… Go punch a wall or something. 😆 Then you can fix that wall , and paint it. Just keep punching, patching, and painting, and you can even dry brush the patch!

Something I've learnt and works well is that if you'd like a less chalky look to the drybrushing finish, dip the brush into the paint as usual but do NOT wipe it off on a kitchen towel or cloth afterwards. These are very absorbant, which means that it'll absorb all the moisture very quickly leaving you with dry pigment.That's the point of drybrushing, but if you instead wipe it off on a textured palette or whatever tester surface you've picked until you have the amount of paint you want, it'll get rid of any excess paint, while keeping just the right amount of moisture for a much smoother drybrushing finish!

Just got back into painting a little over a year ago (after a break of 25 years), and drybrushing is my go-to for almost any project. I've discovered that there's virtually nothing that an silver drybrush can't help if you're stuck on what to do-it exposes all manner of detail you sometimes can't spot until you start painting the model, it's sympathetic to most any color you want to put on afterward, and as you note in the video, it's even beneficial for metal pieces on the model. Just discovered the channel about two weeks ago and have been really enjoying the tutorials!

My number one tip, is to avoid wiping the brush on a paper towel. I recommend glueing some extra bits to a sheet, then use that to wipe your excess paint before going to the model.

I know a tutorial is excellent when I go to add to my playlist of Mini Painting advice and find I'd already added it to that playlist earlier the same viewing. I did that twice in this video. Seriously, excellent work Guy. I used drybrushing all throughout a recent skirmish force paint job of classic silver Stormcast. Zenithal drybrush from a dark color up to my main steel color, gloss varnish, oil wash to darken the recesses, matte varnish, zenithal drybrush up to the second highest highlight (silver) and pick out the final details with a regular brush for the highest highlight (chrome). Boom, all of the metal was done super easily, to a really high level, with plenty of contrast and shine.

Im only 1 year in with my dedicated painting. And I have learned SO much from drybrushing. All your videos with finding out where the sun or shadow falls, and figure out which part i should or shouldn't highlight was so difficult for me to understand. But drybrushing showed me, by my own hand where to look and what makes most sense. I have become a generally better painter because it gave me such a good understanding on highlights in general. So I can only recommend drybrushing for new painters :)

@jamfjord
@jamfjord 13 күн бұрын
Have you tried just practicing on pieces of paper or cardboard? Also just junk that's about to go into recycling for a variety of textures and shapes, if you created a dry brush palette from bits like Guy suggests maybe practice picking out details on that with the airbrush. A useful exercise can be making lines and dots, I started airbrushing 30 years ago and I still do this whenever I've had a break from using the airbrush. I get why you might be feeling apprehensive but any kind of practice will help, just maybe not on minis at first 😊 Also don't worry too much about breaking anything, airbrushes are more resilient than people make out. Most problems can be fixed with a good clean. Good luck, enjoy and welcome to the club 🙂

Which i thought was cheeky at the start of the video. Because thats literally every other dry brush video ive seen in 5 years painting.

I use a drybrush technique that I don't hear a lot of people talk about - I don't wipe as much paint off the brush, and brush more with the "flat" of the brush. It smothly paints the raised surfaces and look less scratchy than drybrushing. I would say its different than the "overbrushing" mentioned.

It has been suggested to me when dry-brushing, *never* use a paper towel or actual towel to remove extra paint from the brush, acrylic paint consists mostly of water and a paper towel will wick away the moisture rather than getting rid of the pigment. Use a paper bag instead.

1. Before priming, wash the minis in some warm water with dish soap, using a toothbrush or similar to remove and greasy residue from mold release, fingers, etc. 2. When dry brushing, wiping excess paint off on a non-absorbent surface, like a texture palette, will lead to a smoother finish. Using an absorbent surface leads to more of a 'chalky' finish. Both are valid and both have their places; there are times when the chalky finish may be preferred such as on textured fabric for example. Artis Opus have great tutorials for dry brushing. 3. A couple of seconds in that alcohol and it was up the ferrule like a rat up a drainpipe 🤣

Very useful video. I'm basecoating my Yaegir Kill Team to make "slap-chop", and without know it is called "overpainting", I made that with the first darker base colour. The resoult is very smouth, fast, and has grest coverage. I've used Zandri Dust for this step. Tomorrow I'm going to drybrush a 50/50 mix of Zandri and White Scar for the first lights, and for the last drybrush layer will use pure White Scar with my smoller brush. I'm using 3 make-up brush for this process, the biger has the size of a fingertip, another is like a half of it, and the smaller is like a half of the medium. And, because I love to build my own stuff, Sunday I made a texture palette with a few almost free material I had in my house. And I'm loving to unload my brush in it and see exactly the load and coverage I'm going to have over my model.

i use overbrushing to lay down a base colour of drybrushed colour down before shading with a wash, then i will redo the same colour with the proper drybrushing method, i will then shade again with same wash but with a little extra water added, this was easier to me to get more subtle shading that the harsh lined shading seemingly preferred by a lot of painters. Cleaning drybrushes, always have 3 or 4 of similar type, every 10 minutes swap to the next brush and wash the brush in water, use clean paper towel to check if its free of pigment if it isnt, roll the brush in the corner of the water pot you are using, this will remove the remaining paint, having 3 brushes means you can have 20 minutes drying time between uses

Great video! Dry brushing is my favourite techniques. I find it can replace airbrushing a lot of the time - especially for someone who doesn’t have time to setup and clean an airbrush in my short nightly painting session. The idea dry brushing is for beginners has always been funny to me - if painting competitions were about pure technical skill with a brush they would ban airbrushes which give you insanely smooth blends relatively easily - but aren’t they are about the skill using any technique to achieve the ‘best’ paint job.

I forget where I learnt it from (probably Byron on Artist Opus) , but i remember hearing that for drybrushing you shouldn't move your wrist to paint but move your arm with your wrist locked in position to brush. Also, holding the brush closer to the ferrule will have a heavier brush stroke, and holding it further back enables a lighter "feathery" stroke.

Great guide to dry brushing. Got turned on to cheap makeup brushes for dry brushing from Sonic Sledgehammer and Tabletop Minions. Use them along with my beat-up brushes for my core dry brush tools.

I really needed a video like this. I am currently dry brushing Votann models and I couldn't figure out a good way to transition with the chosen color. Thank you for reminding me of meshing colors together to create the shade Im looking for.

Good time to notice that drybrushing looks smoother the less white pigments are in your color, but mind the overall transparency of the color you want to use

9:27 😂 lost count of how many times I've seen that on Artis Opus (accompanied by the trademark 'Byron squeal' 😊) and he must be one of the best drybrushers out there. Fantastic video, Guy - I'm adding this to my painting playlist, I'm still trying to get repeatable results, especially at close detail, and there's plenty here to keep me busy practicing for a long time. Especially avoiding splodges! PS I think I need to get myself some Ravaged Star minis 😍

My man. Ive been painting for over a decade now, but only been active in a painting communtiy for a few of those years. And i gotta say, id love it if youd do a full line of in depth fundamental technique videos. Youd have at least this view on it, of not multipme of this one.

Regarding the dry brush palette: I've made mine from small branches, tree bark, some broken bricks, rocks and foam that I had at home. The only piece from a kit was very old Tiger 1 frontal plate which zimmerite which was not used for said tank (normal front plate was used). So total cost of the pallete was the cost technically the cost of glue :D.

I use the dry brush technique on everything from 1/35 armor to Gunpla. I've also used oil paints to great success

Great video. There are other great videos on dry brushing but I think this one will be a bit easier for newer people to understand.

I'll have to watch this 37 times and then I think I'll get it. The hardest part for me is the step of removing paint from the brush. It's so hard to know when I've removed enough and not basically all of it

Finally an actual drybrushing video! I've been trying to encourage this to new players but there's literally no videos on the power of drybrushing/overbrushing.

If you use something that isn’t absorbent to remove the excess paint the end of the bristles won’t be so dry and you’ll get a less dusty result. You were in the right direction with the texture pallet but the paper towel after is gonna dry the tips too much.

Instead of using liquid Isopropyl alcohol, I use hand sanitizer gel to clean my brushes. It's still alcohol, but the pump bottle is easier to use, and requires just a bit more rinsing to get the glycerin gel out of the bristles.
