Dry brushing has become my main technique now for highlights as earlier this year, I was diagnosed with cancer. A side effect of my treatment is neuropathy; a deadening of the nerves in my fingers and toes. I’ve only really been able to pick up a brush the last few weeks and even then, for maybe 5 minutes at a time. Being able to dry brush to get the levels of detail I want has been amazing. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it!

Yeah I really get annoyed with people who think just because something is an easy technique you learn early on, it has no use for skilled people. And sometimes you want shortcuts. I remember painting my 200+ figures for the War of the Ring game. The models aren't very detailed, so I wasn't going to sit there and meticulously paint the fur of my warg riders when a 10 second brush will do it.

@bekkison 2 года назад

I think dry brushing gets a bad rap and can be done well to achieve certain effects. If you don’t have an airbrush, it’s a great way to value sketch a model for under painting. I still wouldn’t use it for finishing a model though, except for texturing and weathering a model to achieve a dusty, dirty, rusty effect. Your dusty, dirty, rusty Space Marine looks amazing!

@bearscaveofminiatures6396 2 года назад

I love dry brushing! As a painter, we should never look at techniques as "low level". We should instead look at our skill levels with these techniques, because every technique has master level applications and we need to understand in depth each technique. I find that people who are opinionated are ones who limit themselves to the many opportunities available.

@@landotucker you can even edge highlight with a dry brush as well (especially on space marines) and I think it looks less cartoony as well. using the artis opus kit it will give newcomers a leg up, as less can go wrong. you have the right kind of brush, the perfect dampening tool and matt to wipe off excess without loosing moisture. Honestly I've been meaning to buy this set for ages, but I always get lost in the custom options, and it ends up coming to a lot of cash. I need to just buy the basic set without the custom options and get it done. The XL Graffiti pad is really good as well for testing out your technique. I think I will pick up the Custom Ninjon bits though, especially if it gets the channel a kick back, too.

@MrTelecasterIV 2 года назад

In my opinion "control" is always key to any technique, I like to use washes (a technique that isn't all that populair anymore), but if you apply them in a controlled way and be patient you will get good results. Its also about finding the right techniques that fit your style. Painting has to be fun, there is no good, bad (and ugly) that's the most important thing about this hobby.

@p_serdiuk 2 года назад

Enamel and oil washes are the new rage since it's easy to remove them.

@MrTelecasterIV 2 года назад

@@p_serdiuk I only use them on millitary vehicles and large flat surfaces or panel lines, I don't like to use them on minis. Altough oils and enamels have a much higher contrast value and longer working time. Oils/enamels and acrylics have both their pros and cons.

@eicha41624 2 года назад

What you like is the thing that matters most. I used washes on my whole Necron army, it gave them an oily messy finish that worked really well for their aesthetic. Soft tone wash has been really nice on my Space marines, and they look good enough for me to be proud :)

@kamradziejtomal 2 года назад

So after watching the video to the end I can just repeat what I'm constantly saying on FB groups. This is an incredibly easy way to paint wonderfully looking blends without much effort and time investment. The moment I discovered stippling thanks to a Polish painter called Bohun I instantly unlocked so much for myself in the hobby. Apart from a fantastic effects/time ratio those techniques also eliminate something what many people struggle with - paint dilution. Basically just slap the paint on the palette and go. Screw medium, water or anything, just wipe off the excess and roll. It enabled me to start focusing more on contrast and colors rather than technical crap like brush condition or paint dilution. I personally prefer to use a really dry brush and the dampening method does not work for me but hey - everybody likes different things. This is an awesome tool to have in the slay the grey arsenal that I highly recommend to all painters.

@MajinTT 2 года назад

I have been painting longer than a lot of You Tubers have been alive and my eyesight has always been poor. Astigmatism is the worst! I brought a mini to my eye doctor.

Having just painted my first mini this past week, dry brushing really helped me build up layers of highlights on my mini. Also really helped add texture to the cloth on the model as well. After applying my darkest base coat it was just dry brushing slightly brighter and brighter until I reached the brightest I wanted to go. Really useful technique as a beginner, and way easier to grasp than wet blending or more complicated techniques, well for me anyways.

I absolutely love dry brushing my minis. It's not always applicable depending on the model and look I'm going for but it's wonderful for quickly getting the main base color done on, say, a space marine. Spray the base color on, neaten it up, all over shade, then use a fairly wet drybrush to build the main color back up. It's very smooth if you do it right.

@FrancosteinSA 2 года назад

One tip for getting blends with a drybrush super easy: go across the color gradient via "wet blending" paint on your drybrush. Start with black on your drybrush then add a tiny bit of white and now you have grey when you mix that on the board. Then add in a little more white onto that same brush and mix again and now you have a brighter grey. Etc. Works with most colors that mix well together.

I've had my eye in those D series brushes anyway, I already use an artis opus M series, I'd highly recommend them btw for detail as the shorter, fatter brush floes better and stays rigid.

Drybrushing seems to a dirty word amongst some of the mini painting community. But if done right can be a useful technique to have in your learnt skills. So loving that you did this video exists. I buy cheap brushes (or recycle old ones) to create my own drybrushes for different techniques. Some I leave as they are, others I cut to different shapes. Basically whatever you need.

Thanks Jon, I’ve been looking for an excuse to buy these Artis Opus dry brushes. Now I can get them and chip some support to one of my favorite RU-vid stars. Thanks for being awesome.

One day I'll break down and buy a set of those dry brushes. I've drooled over them enough, and they look amazing and are easy to use.

Back in the 90s when I first started, there was dry brushing, washes and....that's it.

From the world of traditional non-model painting, the kind of "dry brushing" technique popularized by Artis Opus is referred to as "overbrushing". Which is conceptualized as a way of modulating existing brush strokes on a canvas by brushing over (ah-ha) them with a slightly damp bristle brush with just enough paint to create a tint - as if glazing, except it only affects the raised parts of the dried paint, not the recesses.

I definitely incorporate drybrushing, but I haven’t spent a lot of time on the damp brush method. Every time I try, I end up with too much paint. But seeing this makes me want to practice more. Definitely intrigued by the texture palette.

This looks like a great way to get a project done on a deadline.

In fact, I was looking down on drybrushing like many, but I have a friend which isn't really a good painter but is a real pro about drybrushing that makes armies looks wonderful using this technique !

Wish I could afford the Ninjon Artis Opus Drybrush Kit to help support you! So here's sending my appreciation for all you do, especially in entertaining and epic ways!

Very interesting perspective on dry brushing. Can't argue with great results either.

Thanks for this video. Great topic, close to my heart! I got introduced to the drybrushing technique more than thirty years ago, through the plastic model hobby, armour and figures in particular. Drybrushing is the main method I paint nearly every miniature with,especially if they are overall one colour. Over the years I've gone as far as carefully drybrushing graduated tones, for the overall effect, then go in with the detail brushes, with washes and glazes, additional drybrushing and even sometimes, traditional edge highlighting. In the end , drybrushing should be a technique every painter should employ. There are probably neater ways of getting the same effect , with less effort, airbrushing for example, but I hate my current airbrush so I'll just stick to the tried and true low tech drybrush. Thanks again!

Great video. It's funny how often excellent painters knock drybrushing and yet have so little skill with it. All techniques excel given proper knowledge and experience.

@jerryhagen9476 2 года назад

Turned out great Jon, I'll definitely be picking up a set of drybrushes now. Is there any special method of properly cleaning them other than water rinse and occasionally using brush soap? Thanks for another solid video buddy!

@Ninjon 2 года назад

Just working the paint off on a hard surface like the palette with a bit of moisture is all you need to do, other than a cleaning with the soap every month or two 👍

I use cheap makeup brushes and they work great

@minnion2871 2 года назад

I find that Makeup Brushes also work well for dry brushing...

Dry brush is a noble technique from a more civilized time and painters of all backgrounds.

@ivy3454 2 года назад

My Ninjon edition set of drybrushes from Artist Opus finally arrived today, I can't wait to try them out on some big wings! I got the Texture Palette too, it looks great; I almost don't want to put paint on it lol

@NA-zs4xi 2 года назад

I use dry brushing a lot actually, its my main method after I put my color on my DG units to really make the black bodies pop and the details on them pop out way more. Dry Brushing is super simple, but honestly its noone of my favorite methods of weathering and texturing, as it can give things the worn down look, like dry brush some leadbelcher onto a sharp black point and youve got yourself some worn down metal, same with Agrellan Badlands, you give it an agrax wash and then go in with a lighter brown drybrush and boom it looks way more interesting

I've been painting models since I got into Warhammer 40K Epic in the 1990's. These days I use dry brushing a lot, mostly after a base painting and inking, then using dry brushing to bring out highlights, then more details and inking, and more dry brushing.
