Drybrush Help

I found that drybrushing works better for me if I only drybrush on matte finishes and have my brush drier than I initially think it should be. The difference for me was night and day.

I usually stick with a smaller tip but thats just what I got used to. It is all in the amount of paint that leave on the brush. Practice on something like an old kit to get the hang of it better.

Ditto What Sherm said and Patience does help....Drybrushing is easy once you learn just how much paint not to have on your brush!

Thanks guys. Both tips should work great. It was my first attempt. Maybe a little patience would help also.

Hey Jason - if you are attempting to drybrush the highlights, then you probably just had too much paint left in your brush. For drybrushing I usually use a bursh that is 3/8" wide. After loading your brush, be sure to scrub it on a piece of course cardboard to remove 99% of the paint. Then proceed to your model.

Try using a brush about the size you'd paint the item with it you freehand painted it.
