Studio Workshop - How to: Drybrush Highlights


Recommended Posts


 

Welcome back to the Studio Workshop!

 

This week we're showing you another way of highlighting your miniatures, especially if they are mostly one color.  Drybrushing was once the be all, end all technique back when 40k was first getting off the ground.  In more recent years it's started to fall by the way side as more techniques such as layering, glazing, and zenithal highlighting have come to the fore.  Despite this we believe that in certain situations, drybrushing is still a great skill to have in your toolbox.  Especially if you're more interested in getting your models done as quickly as possible rather than taking your time to make each one a masterpiece.

 

Thanks for watching!  If you liked this video, please subscribe and like our channel.  If you found the video useful, please share it with your friends!  Our next video covers a fantastic technique for adding rounded rivets to your models, just like those found on most GW minisa and tanks!  So watch out next Monday for our next tutorial.

I like watching painting tutorials, but a common problem with the majority of them is contrast.  I know your using a piece that will eventually go to completion, but with base color, mid highlight, & final highlight it is hard to see the difference especially between your base color & your first highlight. I just couldn't see it.  For a tutorial, try to use more drastic color changes or brightness changes to make it easier for the camera (then our eyes through a monitor) to see.  It may not be pretty, but are you trying to show the technique or the paint scheme?  :smile:
