Drybrushing Miniatures, the easy way!

[@atp485]

Tip: Base layer > Drybrush > Wash > Drybrush. The wash will darken your first drybrush one or two steps and blend it in to the base layer giving a nicer transition from base layer to drybrush.

Great advice 👌 this works really well with contrast and Speedpaint 😁

Dude I know this comment is from a year ago but thank you!! I just had a real lightbulb epiphany due to this 💡 🎉

[@Rosmarus_Odobenus]

Thanks so much! Seeing a "bad" example was very helpful and I really appreciate the detailed but swift explanation. Most useful vid on this I've seen by far.

[@simonfieldhouse]

Great video. Can you please give the details of the large brush you use? Thank you

[@Himle_]

Nice one! Worth mentioning is that it's a lot easier to drybrush with a thicker paint (aka gw) then a runnier paint (vallejo air etc).

[@TheBasicBrush]

Dang it I even had my dry paint out to mention 😱 that being said if you check out Artist Opus they like a wetter paint. Stops texture build up. Great tip thank you!

[@Himle_]

@@TheBasicBrush I do agree with Byrons/AO's approach, using a moist brush. But I really hate drybrushing with runny paint. I always take off to much paint, or leave to much in the brush. ^^ Have you tried Mig Jimenez DIO paint? It's more gel'like and made especially for drybrushing, it's amazing tbh! The range just lacks some much needed colours. :(

[@TheBasicBrush]

I have not, will check it out thank you 😁 I've heard similar about scale 74, the gel makes them good to thin and dry brush

[@Himle_]

​@@TheBasicBrush Hmm, I only own 1 set of S75 paints, but I've never actually tried dry brushing with them. Which is kinda "strange" since Byron is such a big fan of Huldra Blue (: If I've got time, I'll try one of them tomorrow, see how i feel about them. Thanks for reminding me!!! (:

Great guide, would have been good for me to see when I just started out in the hobby 👍

[@TheBasicBrush]

I'll never win medals but I can show others what not to do 🤣

[@zakhunt]

I like your videos, but I'd like to see the finished results more at the end. Seems like you show the process a lot but not the end product. Thanks!

[@TheBasicBrush]

I will make an effort to do that 😁 The reason I don't fully paint models is I don't like when videos do that. They show a little technique then masterfully paint the rest of the model. This muddied the water, you can't see what the technique looks like as the rest of the model looks amazing. However a little rotating dried model I can do 😁

[@zakhunt]

@@TheBasicBrush Yeah I agree, the whole thing doesn’t need to be painted, but a close up still image of the technique result you’re showing would go a long way, IMO. Keep up the great work!

so helpful 🙏🏽

[@themaplesergeant]

Just full sending on the content eh? Keep it coming man!

[@TheBasicBrush]

Sorry? Not sure I understand 🤣 a video every Wednesday is my release schedule 😁

[@themaplesergeant]

@@TheBasicBrush wow….my weeks have started to blend together. I’m not gonna lie it feels like a new video every three days. I need a vacation.

[@TheBasicBrush]

Pwahahaha I guess in theory I might be able to one on 3 days 🤣 would be stressful. I know what you mean though, thankfully in the UK a back holiday is soon 😁

[@MiniQuest64]

Great Intro :D Love it!

[@TheBasicBrush]

I started with Shorts to let me do skits. Maybe I'll start them back up on a different channel

[@WarLore]

Cool video

[@TheSentryRob]

I can not place your accent, mate. Where are you from? Great video 👍🏼
