Edge highlighting is the cornerstone of Games Workshop's painting method, with their Eavy metal team, and their power-armoured space-marines always pristine and crisp... But is is worth doing?
In this video we're loading you up with so many tips and tricks you'll be able to learn how to edge-highlight, how to get away without edge-highlighting, and how to find your own middle-ground in-between, whether you want to just try it on a character, or 'cheat' your way through an army with drybrushed edges!

Check out the outro of the video for details on how you can win one of FIVE sets we're giving away, thanks so much for your support!
I'd really love to see someone who has not painted before, paint with Byron as a teacher. I think it may help highlight to people what your first minis may look like, and that you really can't "ruin" it.
Bonus points if you have them paint 3, and show the two they do after the first at the end of the vid. Just to show their progress in the learning process as they figure things out by just doing the thing after learning the basics! 👍
My suggestion: a video explanation of skin colors for both monsters or humans, or some Middle Earth related content would be appreciated as well 🥺
I know it's not exactly all that common but I'd love to see how you handle painting translucent/transparent bits on minis
I tried doing this myself recently and it turned out ok so I'd love to see a decent tutorial for that!!! Fantastic video as always!!!
Definitely - I've looked for videos for painting translucent effects on non-translucent models (thinking of translucent effects on Nighthaunt) and not coming up with much other than a guide or two focused on the Scinari Cathallar, which rely on the fact that the model is specifically designed to facilitate that effect.
For stuff like Fire Prism actually translucent bits I was just lazy and glazed them...
Honestly same
I agree!
❤
I agree with this, I’ve struggled finding many tutorials on this, great suggestion.
suggestion: some tips about painting large organic surfaces, specifically leathery (bat) wings , maybe the shadow queen (morathi) ? or for 40kers Tyranid flyers I guess
A winged nazgul would be great 😇
Huge fan I have a suggestion for a video. Can you make a dry brushing for dummies.. meaning show what it looks like when you have too much paint too little paint or pressure and show us what doing it wrong looks like. So essentially help me figure out why I can't even get close to the same planet as you lol😂
that would honestly be so helpful since i cant drybrush to save my life lmao😅
Absolutely!! I'm a total newbie so this is what I need the most! LOL😂🤣
Yep , Iv tried to follow videos but never seem to get it looking 🤌🤌🤌, very keen for your noob videos plz 🙏
What I'd really like to know is how you would go about painting different textures (painted metal, leather, cloth, bone, etc.) using your more unique style of painting. I've watched a lot of tutorials touching upon textures, but none of them very in-depth, and the ones that are look very fussy and fiddly. Maybe you've got some suggestions or techniques in that regard? As always, thanks for a lovely detailed tutorial!
I would like to see a full guide for painting a complete model (maybe just a basic space marine intercessor, something anyone can get their hands on) with these techniques. Split it into 3 sections. Here is start to finish for beginners, then intermediate, then expert. That way someone can follow along with a step by step guide and start getting comfortable with these techniques not just in theory but in application on a complete model. Love your stuff! I’ve been dying to get my painting up to a level that I can justify getting your brushes.
Agree 💯 I struggle to know how to move from one stage or process to the next and how to fix my mistakes
I love the videos, and how you show mistakes and how to fix them. thats really usefull. I would love if you would detail what brush size you use for what. Sometimes its hard to know as a noob, if i should go with as small as possible, or if i should be able to do something with a size 1 or 0.
I would love a video on how to paint chaos deamons, or at least some of the work that goes into making rotten skin seem "slimey" and those effects.(organic effects)
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I'll leave a comment...
For a while I struggled with my paint jobs...I watch hours of TH-cam videos trying to find a style/formula but never was happy. I came across the ultimate drybrushing tutorial and it did it for me man, felt good about my work thanks to you. So good sir I appreciate the time and effort you put into your guides. Thank you.
I would love to see a battle damage video. Or a video on taking care of dry brushes and Artius opus brushes in general. Also the uses of the Artius opus mat.
I agree!
I'd love to see a video of object source lighting using a drybrush and how that compares to using an airbrush or glazing. EDIT: Basically a similar video comparison to this except following up on the osl for beginners and how different osl techniques such as using an airbrush, glazing and drybrush compare when it comes to time, effect, steps, etc.
I believe he already has an osl guide, but I assume this is more about seeing it compared to other methods which I think he doesn’t show in his guide.
Yup exactly, I should have clarified that better as seeing a comparison between the different techniques for osl similar to this video comparing drybrushing and edge highlighting@@duchoang5410
Would love to see a detailed video on how to use the texture palette, I know it seems common detail but just a overview and like do you spray it before using it etc also quick and easy way to do demons :-) Just picked up some brushes and can't wait to use them :-)
A few years ago you made a video about Drybrushing NMM. I would love to see a more detailed video covering that subject, maybe even with other colors then silver.
Fantastic video as always!!!
I'd like to see something like water spray or wet armor on a full marine or item. Like if it was a hard rain during the fight. Yeah a hard rain and extremely muddy terrain. So hard the rain splashes up from the mud making the armor even muddier. Like the best rainy football games or like their slogging along trying to take a hard objective in the soup. Even half faces or helmets covered in mud with small chunks of mud and grass and grainy bits. I've never seen that done. Maybe even ultra realistic or grim dark style but without all the messy oil covering. Something more precise rather than just slopped oil layer hiding the paint. Love the channel! Thank you. I'm late to the party so if you really like the idea can I get an honorable mention? :)
The one thing I'd like to see more is about how to manage the dampness when doing drybrush. It's always either too chalky or too wet, cant seem to have figured out how to get to the sweet spot. I know you made many great videos on drybrushing, but one that addresses this specific aspect, with many example both on how to do it right and how to do it wrong, would be very valuable.
I would love to see a video showing you how you can incorporate new techniques you learn in your hobby into an old project you started years ago without the new models looking out of place.
I love all of the videos y'all do! They're always amazing!
I would love to see more videos of the group working on non-GW stuff and/or trying to paint in different styles altogether!
I would like to see a video on making undead / decaying effects and rust really down and dirty painting. Thanks for all your videos
As someone returning to the hobby from a several decades break, I would love to see a full length video of a complete paint job. From selecting a mini, to selecting a colour scheme, to basing and a varnish coat.
Keep the great vids coming.👍
You might be interested in some of Artis Opus's older videos that cover some of these topics.

th-cam.com/video/S2vU3WenaBY/w-d-xo.html
Yes! I've been looking for something like that for the past month. Everyone seems to either skip the "boring" parts. I want to see how everyone base coats different parts of the model, how many coats they do etc.
Gratz on the 100K! Still trying to drybrush as good as you, but your work on the Aeldari Flyer changed the way I look at big models. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Love the video, you just make it seem so easy, will definitely try these once I've finished all my scenery projects. Would love to see a contrast/dry brush only space wolf.
Great video! I’d love to see more on chipping / damage / rust as well as more base ideas please Byron
Honestly would like to see you fully paint a model! These tutorials are great but would love to see a step by step process on a full mini!
Congrats on 100K! That is awesome. I'd really like to see a series on all the forms of free-hand artwork I've seen in Warhammer. Checker boards, banners, text, etc.
Great video as always! Id love a video on basing your mini and making a mini-diorama
I always enjoy watching your videos, please keep making more! I haven’t come across videos that show how to finish up a model once the painting is complete. I’ve probably just not come seen them but usually the video ends with “now that it’s done, paint the base and you’re model is complete”, but for me it would be good to see how to finish a model once the last paint stroke has been made. Maybe, even show different options for finishes and the various products that are out there and how to use them to achieve what you want. Thanks!
Your tutorials has made my painting so much better thanks
I would love to see a video on staying consistent for army painting between sessions. I really enjoy your video and learn loads!
I’m on my holiday but I’ve got wi fi so glad I didn’t miss it . I would like to see a tutorial on NMM , but specifically on where to place the dark and light spots and transitions in between .
Also I fell on the floor laughing when you said “ your prob better than me “ your so funny 😂😂😂
The explanation and images for how water moves along the brush were helpful. More information on little technical details like that would be great to see in the future!
Really useful knowledge about how a brush will behave when edge highlighting with the side of it at 25:05 something I’d never thought about or appreciated. My suggestion for future videos is to continue sharing these gems like you always do! Fantastic stuff. Thank you!
Always awesome to see your videos. Id love to see a video or even a series on how you use your techniques to make scenery look amazing as many of have or need to do some scenery, especially natural things like wood, rock, rivers etc (especially with the old world coming out)
I totally need to learn Dry brushing! Super new and loved this video!
This is awesome man what a vid 🙌🏻 proper inspired to try after watching this 👏🏻👌🏻
great video, the tip about the water flow is something that never even occurred to me being a new miniature painter. More of the same sort of videos for me especially painting strategies on larger models. great stuff thanks.
Hello from France! 🇫🇷
I really love this video. It is one of my favorites of yours. Your pro tips, how you explain them, how you illustrate them, how you show them in action, how you edit your videos to show where exactly the action is... They are so good! I learn so much from them and they give me so much inspiration for my own way of painting. I used the one with the chaos shield to try and I had a really awesome and easy result on an arminger!
And this one was magically timed with my current thoughts about how I should load my brush as I have difficulties to obtain the results I want and I was talking about that today with my brother! 😊
I am always stunned by your dry brush technique and I really enjoy when you show them with use or comparison to other techniques.
But the most important part that give me so much joy is how you talk about mistakes, how to handle them how you explain why it's ok with so much positive attitude. I'm very perfectionist but I don't have yet the necessary control on my brush for it. But thanks to you I still stay motivated to continue to improve. Thank you so much for that. And I learn a lot from that. It give a "feel good" feeling when watching.
For future videos, I'm really curious about what you will show with an airbrush and I don't know if you have already done videos about cape or leather ones but I'm interested on techniques for clothes.
Continue your impressive work and I hope one day I will be able to meet you at an event and buy you a drink! 🍺😎
Congrats on reaching 100k! I'd love to see 'A Day in the Life' or a 'How to Make More Time for Your Hobby' type video! Byron seems like a busy fellow with a lot of irons in the fire, would love to know how you balance Element, Artis Opus, and whatever else you might be working on.
Sincerely, thank you for all the great content. Literally taught me how to paint. So excited to see what y'all do next!
Thanks Byron. Found the tips about how much water to use in the brush, and the paint flow when edge highlighting really helpful. Would love to see you take on one of the new terminators!
Hey massive thanks for your content guys👍
Started following the channel like a month ago and would like to see more videos like this one, i.e. "good old time-consuming technique vs time-saving one from Artis Opus"🙂
I got back to hobby recently after 7 years or so of hiatus. Painting for my shelf, don't have much time and a single miniature takes me several months to complete. That's why your content looks ultimately helpful for me in order to get faster:)
Really loving this latest series of videos, especially loved seeing the box art Eternus, learnt so much from that.
I’d love to see a video where you translate some of the tips from this vid onto a “natural” surface, like flesh/skin. I’ve got some Ogroid Theridons I want to do in a pale blue and I’m looking for some inspiration.
What I’m finding hard in conception is that it’s not really edge highlighting when it’s something natural so I find placement of highlights/shadows tricky without endlessly glazing.
I really enjoyed your videos working on getting armies ready for tournaments. Would love a video on breaking down time, efficient ways to pop the important models out from the others and just more of your thoughts on how to make an army looks cool and cohesive
This video is so insanely useful it's hard to fully express
I'd love to see more like what you have here around the 25 minute mark - really details dscriptions and diagrams showing how paint and/or water flows off of the brush! This kind of detail is a game changer for me. Thanks for the video!
Hey, Byron - I love your videos! You're miles better than me and yet you go at everything with such humility! I'd really like to see how one would handle drybrushing and drybrush stippling on models with lots of sharp pointy / sticky-out bits. I'm almost done putting together a team of Phobos Space Marines and there's a lot of antennaes and auspexes that I feel might really get in the way and I'm honestly terrified of getting started on painting them.
I'm literally using drybrushing to do all my base highlights for my Raven Guard. Going from a base coat of pro acryl black and using their dark warm grey to do a highlight looks fantastic for giving making the shapes easier to see and giving the armor a worn look. It looks amazing
Love your content always! I'd really like to see a video covering how to pick and use complimentary/contrasting colors on a mini without them being too glaring or overwhelming... If that makes any sense
I think something focused on accessibility would be great. We have a lot of painters who struggle with finer details due to this or that health reason and showing how you can work around some of that would be really interesting. There are already some TH-camrs in that space, but I think this channel's usual style could bring an interesting twist to that and help bridge the gap between "GW-style" painting and what some of those other channels do.
Couldn't agree more, great suggestion!
This is awesome. I would like to see more info for a complete beginner, what gear and techniques are essential to master. Thanks for the quality content!
I love this video, makes me re think my edge highlights completely! I would love to see a video explaining how to paint gem stones to a really high standard. Having the control to get consistent curved brush strokes to follow the shape of the gem that gets thinner and thinner as you get brighter on the highlight, or to give the gem stone a realistic depth.
I would absolutely love to see some funky color-blends, like green to orange or blue to pink, for some more magical minis.
Lovely video thanks so much!
Great video, thanks, really enjoy knowing about what the brush is doing so I can understand how to load it rather than just getting shown the paint consistency.
I would love to see more on building shadows and for example how you control where the nuln oil goes without leaving water marks, especially in areas like the grills. But it also would be for using complementary colours to build the shadows as well as plain darkening.
Love it! congrats on the 100k subscribers. truly deserved.
Still just one of the best channels Ive seen online, the level of hints, tips and knowledge you share are amazing.
Ive come across a few models with clear weapons and parts, Id love some advice on how to approach them if I should be approaching them differently or not. Ive avoided painting a fire giant completely as I just dont know what to do with the flaming clear sword. :D
look forward to the next video
God I love this channel. I leveled up so much since I’ve been subbed.
A video or series on planning an army paint scheme would be very handy. You could discuss which painting techniques and colours you would choose for different areas of the army i.e characters Vs troops plus basing techniques. All weighing up speed Vs quality to get a whole army painted.
As you always explain things plainly and well I would love to have a video of airbrushing from “easy to hard” just like this video. Maybe try to cover a large and a small model? Also love the vids and congrats 🎉 on 100k
Really timely video as I plan my next project. I'd love to see this approach with a green scheme.
This was the most nerve racking video I've seen in a long time, don't sell yourself short this is god level stuff.
I would like to see your take on slapchop
love all your videos. at 25:43 there was blow up of a brush and you described how water flows through the brush, it's not something I have sat down and really thought about but I thought that bit was helpful.
Also I really like the way the videos are edited with the emotes. keep up the good work.
something I'd like to see is a quick high level tutorial of painting some skaven plague monk robes.
Recently started with painting 40K models as a hobby to relax. This is the first video I've seen of your channel, and I've immediately subbed.
After having seen quite a few "battle ready +" videos on Tyranids I'm struggling a bit to balance accessable techniques for me as a beginner and what looks good in demonstration videos. I would love a video on sort of a learning roadmap of techniques and paint types for beginners, and gradually build experience. Maybe even essential tools vs things to avoid early on...
Awesome video! I usually use the side of the brush to make highlights. It was interesting to see how you do it. I would like to see work with large miniatures and NNM in the future.
I'd love to see some big old monsters, using dry brushing/stippling. This channel has been a game changer to me in terms of painting. I've got so much better over a short period of time. And I've got some gribblies to paint so I'd love some pointers!
Thanks for the vid. I tend to just stop before edge highlighting. Will go back over some models with these tips
Great tutorial! I have always edge highlighted stuff because that is how I was taught and my main armies have always seemed to have black as a main color scheme (Raven Guard) so it was just natural for me.
As to the question of what I'd like to see next, and forgive me if it has been done already I am fairly new to the channel, is a tutorial on weathering. Whether that be pigments, sponging, or anything else I feel that weathering is an amazing tool to take your models to the next level.
Another awesome video man, I always debate whether I should drybrush or edge highlight, after watching this I should probably be doing a bit of both!
I'm struggling with Non Metallic Metal, I'd love to see you do some with drybrushes. Many Thanks Dude
Higher level dry brushing is my go too since returning the the hobby and it's thanks to your videos that I'm able to do that, albeit still nowhere near your level but model by model I'm improving. I find that it give such a solid gaming level miniature. I also like to start by air brushing to get some early highlights in. My biggest issue is the control on pin point placement. Some times I get my PSI and paint mixture right and it's spot on, 30 mins later it's like I've never painted before.
I've just gotten back into the hobby after 20 years, and I have to say that channels like this are just amazing, and makes it so much more fun and accessible.
As for suggestions:
I'd love to see a video on 'the use of color', and how colors complement each other. There are so many default color schemes out there but I'd really love to come up with some of my own (particularly for my newly purchased Aeldari Combat patrol, as most of their color-schemes are kind of gross), but I just have no idea where to start. I have no jumping off point, if you know what I mean. Having an experienced miniatures painter talk me trough some key aspects would be amazingly useful.
Thank you for the channel, and keep up the great work :)
Hey, I'd love to see how you would drybrush batch style, so like a 5 man squad. Which bits you would do first, what order etc etc.
Oh that hasn't been done in a while. At least not the same model. Good dea
I really love how you approach the subjects in a realistic way. I'm not new to mini painting but have recently begun stepping beyond the "battle ready" level of completion, experimenting with advanced techniques and making some display-worthy pieces. Edge highlighting was really intimidating (still is) but it was really nice to see it explained in a supportive light. And the brush-edge tip was really good.
Speaking of brushes, I'd like to see a video (if you haven't made it yet, I'm still going through your roster of content) explaining how to use and care for the tools of the trade. Like how exactly does a texture palette work, how to clean brushes beyond a rinse and dry, etc. I try to take care of my materials as best I can but it'd be nice to get something a bit more comprehensive.
I would love to see how you approach a model with lots of recesses. Something a Necron Reanimator, with lots of overlapping areas.
And thank you for all your videos. I have only starting painting in the past couple of months. And your videos have helped no end!
Very nice video! I like that you show different techniques and explain the physics/behavior of the brush and paint. Also nice how you build up the level of detail in incremental steps. That way someone can choose how far to take it. My suggestion: I paint minis mostly because I want to use them in games. It would be very nice if you could show how you would tackle painting an army or set of minis to an acceptable level as efficient as possible while keeping it fun 😊. Cheers.
Excellent tutorial as usual. Thank you.
I think a fun video could be on different contrast/base combinations with “exotic” color effects. For example yellow contrast over pink giving an orange/brown. Together with light pre-dry-brushing the approach gives some neat highlights/shading with easy steps. I’m guessing there are some other cool & surprising color combinations.
This was mind blowing. Thank you VERY much, I've found my reference for what I want to aim for in your video.
@@ArtisOpus I'll definitely try to not spend that much time on highlighting, but your balance between the two is gorgeous to me as I don't want to aim for eavy metal style :)
Anyway, I'll follow many of your other videos/tutorials as I'm sure I'll find something to learn in those.
Thank you for sharing your talent/passion, it's a treat for us mortals :)
great video as always, i would really like to see some of your drybrushing approaches combined with buildung up some nice terrain / bases and on top a great model of course :D
Great video as always! Hmm, I would like to see your take on what paint brands you prefer for the different colours/types of paint! 🎉
Love you videos. This one has helped me out greatly. Can’t wait to see more. Any tips with airbrushing as that’s new to me.
I would love to see you do a video on improving non metallic painting and how to actually start as I would love to add that to my skill set. Thank you. Great video and never knew you could dry brush on edge highlights, brilliant tip.
Picking color schemes always gives me fits, Would love to see a video on this subject
Another banger result. The edge highlight did make it pop more, but from a painting perspective makes more sense for your hero models. As for what I would like to see is one of two things.
The first would be to see you use your painting style with oil paints, would love to see how you would work and develop that, and the other is just an experiment video on how to manipulate paint characteristics over different brands to get them to behave the best for drybrushing.
Mr B, thank you for this. I HATE edge highlighting though I tend to be a tad lazy to go into so much detail as you. Looking forward to more vids
Congratulations for your channel! Amazing content!
I'd like to see more content on new "uncommon" products like the ones you did for Dirty Down, I really enjoyed them... Maybe a review of Panpastel products for drybrushing...
Getting motivation to hobby. I'm pretty sure a lot of hobbyists have this issue from time to time, definitely myself included so I'd love to get some advice or tips on how to get out of a hobby slump. Any small/quick wins or palette cleansers to get you back into the swing of things.
As always enjoying the content!
I'm just getting back into mini painting after a very long stint away, but I'm coming into it off the back of an art career where a lot of the theory and techniques are transferable. That said, I'm still going through that phase of self doubt and worry about the finished painting not being up to my own irrational and undeserved standards. This video however has been so informative, and such a great guide that it makes me feel that I could live up to that kind of standard that I want for myself.
Not only that, but the work you've demonstrated looks great. The gradients are smooth, the highlights pop, the shades help contrast the red really well, and it was all very well informed. Cheers.
As for what I'd like to see in the future? I think one or two things, one of which you mentioned first: how to maintain a level of fun and enjoyment during the process, and perhaps even how to overcome certain mental hurdles that can hinder you. Secondly: I think non-metallic metal has such a cool traditional style that it helps elevate models, especially characters, to greater levels of completion above metallic paints in some instances. So I'd love to see an in depth look at how you tackle NMM.
Thanks, keep up the great work!
I would love to see a tutorial that focusses on trying to paint lots of models quickly using some of the techniques you showcase on the channel. One that distils a couple of key things that you can leverage/repeat and apply to an army to a reasonable standard but very quickly.
The quality of painting is always amazing but it would be interesting to see how fast you can put out a box of models to a decent standard for people that don't have the time/want to spend a lot of time to get the same quality of finish that you achieve, but still want to have models they are happy to use.
As an extra challenge it would be great to see multiple varied schemes in the same video as well....
Great work as always!
Hey. I’d like to see the process (order of things) you use for painting a whole squad/unit/army. Including bases and transfers. Thanks. Keep up the good work. Love it.
I’d love to see a video on highlighting weapons! I’ve watched videos on NMM, but I’m not keen, and I haven’t seen anything on how to make true metallic metals look really awesome. Just about every model has a weapon, so it should help everyone.
This video was really useful. I now need to just practice, practice, practice!
how to clean dry brushes, or how and what black linig is. I think that would be a usable and helpful video. keep up with the amazing work, looking forward to more content
Great video!!! Thanks for putting this together. In one of your next videos I would like to see a tutorial of how you paint different skin tones.
How to magically assemble and paint ALL THE MINIS (in my backlog - without having time to sit and paint)
These are great videos Byron. Anything that hammers home the technique is great, as well as common pitfalls. I love seing different factions painted.
I'd love to see a video on using pigment powders - TH-cam painters never seen to use a pigment setter, they just dollop it on.
Otherwise a video on using texture paints like the snow and ice ones on bases?
Using dry brushing techniques on more organic (but not necessarily heavily textured) models, like skin, large leather pieces like cloaks or wings, trees, etc. Or models that are not fully clad in armor but more mixed textures.
Love your videos!
Excellent work. It would be interesting to see a direct comparison between edge-highlighting, dry brushing and airbrushing.
I am new to the hobby but I am loving it. I love dragons so I’m edging towards stormcasters I have watched you painting them I would love to see more on the blending of scales to skin on the dragons like from there soft under belly to there armour scales and there wings please never stop making these videos they are bringing so much to so many I have looked at the brushes but funds don’t allow them I’ve just watched your basing video to that was very informative and helpful.
First of all, thank you a lot for this great video, as all your ones!
My suggestion is you could make a video on your drybrushing style applied to miniatures with lots of small details of different colors close one to the other. How do you organize and plan your drybrushing steps? You can do all with a small drybrush, or you have to switch to a classic brush?
Great video and great channel! It kills me how many skilled painters on the 'net "shun" the use of dry-brushing and washes. While certainly not useful for everything, there are many things for which washes/dry-brushing are not just merely the fastest way to do it, but the best way.
Definitely more on mixing techniques. I'm a big fan of contrast for base layers and then drybrushing over top for quick highlights. I'd also love to see how you tackle wet/slimy effects - I'm thinking stuff like the Alien xenomorphs or something similar.
I'm just getting back into the hobby after well over 20 years. The hobby and the technique have changed so much.. But you are really inspiring me to try new things.
I can't wait to see your airbrush videos as I have just got one. And want to get my base colour down with it. Then go dry brush mad.
I'm doing t'au in turquoise. And if you could show use a blending/shifting effect. Thanks for the help in being creative again.
Mark.
I just started in the hobby, mostly for board game minis, i love these videos.. The thing I'd like to see is blending colors for things like camouflage. Possibly some wet blending techniques.
This is super handy and fuels aspiration, thank you.
As to a request, I’m not even sure how this idea would transfer to video tutorials, but I’d love to see your take on deciding on a colour scheme, and then applying it across an army of varied units.
