As usual Duncan is the best at explaining. I have seen multiple youtuber's use this kind of round drybrush. Not a single one has explained why it is different or how to use it. Duncan as usual explains the new technique and how to properly use this brush. That is why he is, in my opinion the number 1 hobby painting teacher and the rest are not even close.
An interesting tip for drybrushing weathered fabric is that you can do a messy/heavy drybrush, then wash it down (nuln, agrax, reikland, whatever suits the base) and then a lighter drybrush on top of that (when dried, obviously) for a gradient effect that gives the impression of a bit of texture. It works great for leather coats and it goes without saying that this is a batch painting method more than a detail oriented one, though you can of course highlight, add scratches and all that afterwards for an extra effort result.
To build on this method, most fabrics are a weave of threads running vertically with threads running horizontally. If you do a heavy dry brush following one direction and then the second pass in the perpendicular direction you can really work to create an impression of woven fabric texture.
Go for it! It's not that tough and is really fun too. Once you get it, and it won't take, long, you'll feel a world of possibilities open up when painting.
Go for it! It's really not as difficult as you think. It unfortunately has a reputation for being difficult to do but in all honesty, it's not. Just make sure your paint is wet and if available, use a wet palette, it sure helps
I've never seen someone wet blend so quickly, incredible. I used to watch my aunt paint with oils, basically wet blending everything but acrylics dry so fast that it just adds another level of difficulty.
Great video, cloaks are what helped me understand blending and glazing the curvs are spectacular for that because you have a clear view of your shadows to make sure you're not painting into them and it feels easier to reapply the colors if a mistake happens
Hi Duncan. Greetings from the US! I know you probably won't see this comment, but if you do, I just want to let you know that you have truly inspired me to paint. 13 year old me discovered your channel through a friend of mine a couple of months ago. I went on to paint my first mini and now I love painting and I am working on finding a couple friends to play Warhammer with. Thank you so much for everything you do. You truly are the hero none of us deserve. PS. I always apply 2 thin coats :)
Hi @zacharymalott1198 thank you so much for the wonderful message and welcome to this amazing hobby. Im so glad that you are enjoying it and having so much fun 😊
One thing I like to do with cloaks, whatever method, is at the end do a glaze with an appropriately coloured and thinned down contrast paint. This just pulls all the layers and colours together and smooths any transitions out. Oh, and PS this video dropped at the perfect moment for me, as I have a load of cloaks and skirts to do on my Custodes this weekend. Thanks Duncan!
Hey Duncan! I just wanted to tell you that I love your range of paints. Its great, it comes in dropper bottles, and my paint doesnt dry up in little pots. You got me into painting when I wanted to do some Skitarii when you still worked at GW, so thanks for that too. Became my hobby through that. Keep going and greetings from Germany!
Awesome video Duncan, I will definitely be giving the wet blending a go, I usually go for a the classic method but I find it can take ages getting clean gradients with this video you will have me saving hours! thanking you !!!
You know, that first storm cast you dry brushed, it would have looked intentional to paint it gold first so that the cape looks like it was "reflecting" into the calf on the left as you look at the mini
This video was very helpful. There are a lot of cloaks and folded clothing on the Blackstone Fortress minis that I am painting up. All 3 techniques produce a unique look, and none of them look worse than the others, IMO. The blend technique looks more difficult than dry brush or classic methods. I want to try all of them eventually though. Thanks for the vid, Duncan!
I know you weren't at Adepticon but my son and I stopped at the two thin coats painting booth. We had fun and my son super loves your paints. I've enjoyed the little bit I have used them
I really struggle with cloaks, and was actually just about to paint these models so great timing! I tried the classic method, but the gradient wasn’t smooth enough, Will now try the wet blend
A nice video. Personally I use three different methods to painting cloaks. 1: The Old 'Eavy Metal Classic, of layering; two or three paints, of a dark, mid, and light shade of a colour family. Essentially the same as the second style of painting cloaks you showed, just without the wash/shade stage. 2: Camo cloaks on Space Marines; there I use a mix of the first two styles of painting cloaks you showed in this video. So a dark tone base layer, a wash/shade layer, followed by two dry drybrush layers, first of the same colour as the base layer, then a lighter tone paint for highlights. 3: Camo cloaks on Eldar (now: Aeldari) Rangers; There I use the second method I mentioned above, but also paint in smaller diamond like shapes.
I love painting cloth, which is handy as im collecting Adepta Sororitis! Great video Duncan, ive only really done them the layer method but ill defo give the blending a try now, that looked amazing 👍
i made my Sword brethrens from my Black Templar Arm with red Cloaks :) Not an easy task, but it turned out very nice. And no where im finish i found your video :) Great Vid as always
man this is perfect. I'm in the midst of painting Stormcast Praetors with red cloaks! now if only the huge gaps in the cloaks were a bit easier to clean up...
Is there a video or tutorial you have about your palette? I've been using one of the bowl paint holders with a central palette (basically one of the cheap ones from a dollar/pound store) but I like the one that you have there! Maybe a tutorial/video on the various types of palettes and the benefits/drawbacks of each?
Some of my favorites include the old Ral Partha Wizard with Runesword. I believe in the new skirmish version, he's a Wraith Lord. I also enjoy the 'Sword of Twilight' for the old Mordheim range.
I kinda do a mix of the first one with the second one and it comes out pretty good now! Not so much when I first started. But I’ve tried the wet blending method many times before and I’ve almost never gotten it to look at all good without putting on 1,000 coats of paint! Way too time consuming. And on something like the rest of it is already going to take you many many hours you can’t really afford to spend another 3 to 4 hours or more just on the cape. But like I said, that’s me! It might work great for other people. It might be even a bigger nightmare then it is for me for others! Find what works for you and stick with it! I kinda wish you added many like a time scale so people that don’t know knows how long each takes. But that’s just a thought! I know how it was the last time I left a suggestion…..
I never understood people saying wetblending is hard, I did wet blending one fateful evening in summer 2005 when painting a half metal half plastic Rubric marine box by complete accident on the Aspiring sorcerer's cloak. I painted it white and then wanted to add a Blue rim around the base but I didn't give enough drying time in between and it made this wonderful gradient between Blue and white and I was like "Holy Crap, this is magic" so I then tried it on the loin cloth parts of all the rubric marines in the same squad, and then did it again on a second squad but in orange. To date this is the biggest case of OOPS I SUCCEEDED I have ever had.
This is a lovely tutorial and I’m looking forward to trying out all of these methods! For the wet blending though, I feel like the speed at which you have to do it was not accentuated; do you need to really get a lot of paint on to prevent it instantly drying? Or do you just need to work quickly? Or is there some use of a little extra water?
Thanks. As long as you can keep the paint wet and relatively thin you can get the blend to start to work. It does require multiple thin coats though to get a smooth result. Oh, and a wet palette is useful too.
I really liked the wet blend gonna try it on some of my models. Which one would you say would be better for the inside of the cloaks? And in the case of having different colors inside and outside would you keep it a darker shade?
Hi Duncan, I know this video is an oldie but rewatching it now as I am struggling with painting the cloaks on my own Stormcast! This has been helpful, but I was wondering do you have any tips on what you do different if the cloak you are aiming for it of a much darker colour than these brighter red cloaks?
I'm trying to do this with deathworld forest but every time I've tried i just get a really streaky finish with harsh lines in the gradients. Is it because I'm thinning it down too much or not enough? Or is it because I'm not drying my brush enough before I paint onto the cloak? Or is it because the highlight im trying to add is just the base coat with some white scar added?
Drybrushing looks better and more natural if done properly because it mimics the way things wear and reflect light in real life. The traditional layering method is more cartoony unless you spend a ton of time blending.
I am using a shiny ceramic tile for the dry brush technique but it dries out so fast that I can't get any paint back on the brush after doing that initial technique. I can't tell if it's just cuz I live in a dry climate, or if the tile is absorbing the moisture. Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?
The wet blend is basically the method I went for when I painted a Custodian Guard/Shield Captain cloak (which was my very first cloak), except that I did it without any tutorial or reference (it turned quite good, I'm honestly really satisfied of my work on it), and I pushed the color gradient until having a thin full white line on the edges, as if it was some kind of glossy velvet fabric (and I mean, it's Custodes, velvet battle cloaks sound pretty in tune with the whole idea of prestige that Custodes convey).

Ok, the ease of that wet blend blew my mind, and now I’m really excited to give it a go! It always seemed so daunting. Great video.
It's easier than you think for sure. Just practice a little, make sure the paint is wet and have fun!
That drybrush technique is awesome. It has a nice, almost airbrushed on look. And I have some of those drybrushes, so I'm definitely giving that a go.
Honestly one of the best painting videos I've seen for a long time. 3 really useful techniques all explained and demystified perfectly.
Last night I was looking at my Custodes and trying to find a decent tutorial on painting cloth. Great timing Duncan - thank you!
Our pleasure
D, your blends are amazing. You make it look easy enough for me to try. I look forward to giving it a go.
Go for it! It's not that tough and is really fun too. Once you get it, and it won't take, long, you'll feel a world of possibilities open up when painting.
Duncan the superhero of painting tutorials.
The damp sponge and hard palette for the dry brushing is a great idea 💡 it will no doubt prolong the life of the brush too. Thanks Duncan :)
Wonderfull and crystal clear video! A reference now. Thanks !
Great tutorial, I especially loved the wetblending part! Thanks 👍
That drybrush method is top tier for good results time wise. Great vid Duncan!
All three look really good, but the wet blended one looks amazing. I may be brave enough to give it a go. Thanks for sharing!!!
Go for it! It's really not as difficult as you think. It unfortunately has a reputation for being difficult to do but in all honesty, it's not. Just make sure your paint is wet and if available, use a wet palette, it sure helps
@@DuncanRhodesDRPA Thanks Mr Rhodes. I appreciate the words of encouragement. I'll give it a try.

Duncan and Byron crossover for the drybrush method.... It's blowing my mind 🤯 like watching Captain America pick up Thor's hammer 😂

Yes, drybrushing is less reliant on the artist having a perfect understanding of how light falls.

For drybrushing, if you're new, and dont want to spend a lot of money, a cheap makeup brush does excellent work!
