This is a very smart content strategy. Airbrushes are a significant (and loud) investment, so more people will be willing to try dry layering. just don't call it "overbrushing"

[@DonSuratos]

Seriosly, WHO for the life of me calls them overbrushing bro? Heavy drybrushing is more apt, but "overbrushing" is funny bro. 😅😂🤣

Awesome

[@nicolaargento3407]

What can I say Don ?! I think this technique will accompany me for a long time 😉 It is efficient and the results are absolutely top level 😱 I really like the drybrush technique as you do it and having tried it personally, I can assure you that using at least three colors gives a spectacular volume to the figure! 😍 Of course, it becomes more complicated to control the technique and the color, but it can be done 😉 Thanks always for your videos! 🙌🏻 P.s. Sergio is a living myth ... but you're not joking either 🤣🤣

[@DonSuratos]

This technique was an experiment gone right i think. But yes, more colors ( not necessarily paints ), means more volume and more complex. Agree, Sergio is a myth. 😅😂🤣🎨🎨🎨

After watching other videos about painting figures. You did quite well - it was impossible to repeat it with my own figure. comment.

Do you ever use makeup brushes for drybrushing I find they are way better than the hobby dry brushes

Yes bro. They are awesome and super cheap. However, they damage faster specially if my kids burrow them, and do not clean them afterwards. But I agree, they are awesome! ☺️🎨🎨🎨

[@SaschaKleiber]

Awesome! I painted him myself but with contrast paints a few months ago. But seeing yours, especially the base, makes me think about going back and adding this great water effect! May I ask how you sealed the cut edges from the original base? I saw some white looking stuff you put there, but what is it?

[@DonSuratos]

Oh... those are wood glue and white stones ( pebbles ) sir. Thanks for watching! ☺️🎨🎨🎨

As usual, this was a fantastic video... How do you decide what color to use the first time you drybrush. I mean, after watching this video and the other one where you painted a sort of a Pumpkin-spider, I wonder what would be the criteria.

Hmmm, great question bro! I will discuss it in my next few videos. ☺️🎨🎨🎨

[@daniellabra4186]

@@DonSuratos Ok Don, I'll be waiting for it 😅

[@kornklone]

Amazing! I’m learning so much and am so glad to see people using Vallejo paints. Question: how would this process differ if you used paints instead of the inks? Would the process be different or just the shades of colors?

[@DonSuratos]

Thanks! Paints are opaque in comparison to inks sir. Eve if you add mediums or water down your paints to wash consistency, effects will be different in comparison to inks. ☺️

[@thezohanish]

Since Watching your videos, my painting has advanced dramatically, allowing myself to enjoy this hobby much further! so thank you so much for sharing your skills and techniques with us. Can I also ask, what is in the little clear bottle you use with the Glaze medium?

[@DonSuratos]

Oh thank you! Appreciate it a ton sir! That small bottle is just distilled water. ☺️🎨🎨🎨

[@pk-vk3oc]

Superb outcome! I can’t stand that dusty finish so I’ve walked away from drybrushing for quite some time. Maybe I’ll have to return now that I have those Artis Opus brushes and see if glazing can improve things. Interesting tip on the medium, I have some but haven’t played with it much since not a lot of folks mention it helping them out.

[@DonSuratos]

Mediums have been around for ages... for fine artists bro. I have half liter bottles for acrylic canavas painting. They are awesome for glazing. I really do not understand why miniature painters overthin paints with water and use for glazes tbh. ☺️🎨🎨🎨

Awesome result, last time i tried dry brushing the paints dried very fast on my brush, should i use something like paint retarder to keep the paint from drying so fast? What do u recommend?

Hmmmm, where do you live sir? Retarder medium could work, or just add more water. But you still need to unload the paints before drybrushing. ☺️

Don't tell Vallejo, but I have huge bottles of Golden Matte medium and Satin Glazing medium. They work well with vallejo, however, on miniatures, these mediums are not as durable. So be careful in handling the mini while painting. ☺️🎨🎨🎨

[@lureblanks]

Great tutorial!! Thank you for sharing this knowledge. I am a beginner when it comes to painting with a brush and i got a question. What is actually the difference between painting with glazing medium and painting with regular paints. Because in the latest few videos I noticed that you almost always use a little glazing medium. I would like to learn the difference between with or without glazing medium and why you use it so often? Thank you! 😊

[@DonSuratos]

Oh, Layering without a bit of medium, if done right ( mix a lot of colors ), yields great results too. My older videos did not utilize the glaze medium. Adding a bit of medium, adds transparency to the paints, does your layering seem smoother than usual, even if you do not blend or mix too many colors. I hope I explained it well enough bro. ☺️🎨🎨🎨

[@lureblanks]

@@DonSuratos I understand! It simply makes the paint proces easier and therefore faster, smoother lines and more faded edges. I understand now 👍 will need to buy some glazing medium then!

@@lureblanks Great! Have fun bro! ☺️🎨🎨🎨

[@joshuastandish8581]

Can you add color to the water texture?

Yes you can, but inks is the best, as inks are transparent paints too. ☺️🎨🎨🎨

[@joshuastandish8581]

@@DonSuratos cool i think i want to use the water effect to create a blood pool for a custom vampire miniature base.

[@pk-vk3oc]

Oh another question: do you more “glaze down” in terms of value or up? I find with glazing I almost always lose some value, but maybe I could also be doing to opposite to glaze higher in value?

[@DonSuratos]

I glaze up and down bro. The trick is, to use paints that are pretty opaque in the first place. Like deack tan and ivory for light colors ( most darker colors are opaque anyways ). Reds and yellows are kinda transparent though, super fun to glaze, but do not add too much mediums. Cheers! ☺️🎨🎨🎨
