Honestly there should be a 2 thumbs button cuz I feel like only one 👍🏻 is not enough
@@jamesh2367
Nice end results. 👍
Not sure about blue rocks however. Weathering usually means that they are more brown depending on the geological make up and where in the world you are. In the Australian desert, shades of red/brown are more realistic for example.
We all develop techniques that work best for ourselves. There is no wrong or right, just various degrees of the same process.
First coat, mostly wet, total coverage.
Second coat, mostly dry covering of mostly highlights leaving deep recesses dark.
Third Coat is what I call Super Dry and covers highlights only.
This process works for me with cheap stiff brushes that can be replaced as required.
The KISS approach works for me.
Keep It Simple Stupid. I must be Stupid as this is an effective work flow that I follow. 😀👍
Makeup brushes. They are cheap and very easy to replace.
Thank you Byron! Before I discovered your videos, I found drybrushing really difficult and big terrain pieces daunting. But thanks to your videos I pushed myself and finished a real big terrain piece for my D&D game today.
Now we need the "how to clean the drybrush when we are done painting :D"
It is acrylic paint so plunge it into a glass of hot water (not too hot, medium hot and shake it then push your pencil slightly on the bottom of the glass and shake it again, repeat until it's clear on the piece of (sheet?) sry I don't know the word. I hope it helps you comrade
Yeah, not feeling sure about this has held me back from buying these brushes for a long time. Now I just placed the order, but I’d love a video on the topic.
@@TeddyZetterlund im holding to buy them from the same reason. Hope @Artis Opus just sees this and make a quick an easy video to erase our doubts :D
@@TeddyZetterlund I've got the brushes. To clean them i rinse them under running water, dry brush my fingers a bit whilst in doing it.
Then rub the brush around in the brush soap quite a bit, then back to the wet fingers.
Repeat a couple times until bristles are clean.
Couple minutes and all the brushes are clean again
@@youtubevanced4900 Thank you. It's similar to how I do with other brushes today. I believe the soap will be critical here.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this. My grandma was the most amazing artist.. but she passed away before she could teach me about dry brushing/dry painting.
Pro tip: take the brown basecoat further. Completely cover the rocks with it, and take it onto the crashed AT-ST a little, too. That way when you drybrush the gray overtop you get built in dirt at basically no extra effort cost. Real rocks don't look like a perfect gradient of grey, they look really dirty in the cracks - even on the areas relatively far from where they interface with the ground. Plus, this is an easy way to differentiate them from the vehicle gray without actually using any other colors of paint.
I've used this myself before, great point! Cheers dude
You know the shit gets serious when the whiteboard comes out 👌
😁😁😁
That is completely INSANE! 40 minutes?!?! I need to learn how to hurry up! I think honestly I have a lot of wasted movement, or I spend too much time fixing mistakes as they occur, not necessarily when it makes sense.
Practice, practice😁Happy NY🥳
Man... 16 years into the hobby, i did not expect being schooled on drybrushing. Absolutly fantastic video!
*Looks at 100 drybrushing videos on the channel* - Welcome! We're happy to have you, and there's plenty more where that came from, we're still discovering new aspects to the technique :)
@@ArtisOpus yeah. I'm here to stay. 👍
How can anyone fault a channel that listens to the peps that watch it and make a comment, I have also had all my comments answered in person. Great channel and great easy to follow tutorials.
Best Regards Steven
Oh, dude, thanks so much for your kind words! Really means a lot to me! Always happy to help😊 Take care❤
Marvelous video!
I’m not a table topper but a model railroder and a friend of realistic landscape and buildings. Drybrushing isn’t a big theme there but I love to have a look over the edge and found here the solution for my everlasting problem: realistic colouring of a 1:87 brick wall. Now I tried it again with the techniques I found in this video - and got for the first time a brick wall that amazes me!
Thank you very much for showing the basics and secrets of paintbrushing, also for the theory at the whiteboard. That helped a lot for understanding the dependencies of the factors.
Rainy greetings from good ol Germany
Thomas
Absolutely awesome tutorial! 👍🏻
Brilliant, great tutorial. Thanks!
So much talent. Glorious.
This is such an amazing tutorial... this + Brushstrokes has me set! Cheers!!!
Thanks for taking the time to describe how much water is in the actual dampening pad. Can't wait until I have an actual set of your drybrushes. For now, its make up brushes but I'll get there.
Great tutorial. Thanks!
This was great to watch it all unfold. I’ve been looking for alternatives to airbrushing F1 drivetrains, and brakes. This has given me some ideas. Thanks!
Wow, insanely good results! Looking forward to trying
Excellent video as always Byron. Love what you can do with the Drybrush technique and love the inclusion of the dampening pad. Amazing addition to any painters arsenal!
Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks a ton, dude, really appreciate your kind words as always ❤
Great tutorial, thanks
Fantastico, grazie!
Absolutely fantastic!
Glad you think so! Thanks!😁
Just watched this and noticed it's a few years old. Still a great and timeless video!
You are a godsend my guy! My D set will be here in a couple days and i believe they will be too. Cheers from the other side of the pond!
I have never been so amazed by something in my life. It is now my mission to learn this.
Wow ! Absolutely amazing. I'm just getting back into painting and found your videos. Brilliant and easy to follow. I can see how the tools have changed - textured pallet and round brushes. Thank you for your tutorials !
That's exactly what we are aiming for!😊Thanks so much for your kind words, dude!
I really enjoy drybrushing, and watching this has made me add the drybrush set to my basket because they are stunning, great work as per
Thanks for your support, Kieren! Let us know how they go (in another comment, YT awful for ongoing notifications), and if you've got any questions about use etc we'll sort you out, sure you'll love them! :)
Amazing! Awesome tutorial as ever! Thanks!
You're very welcome! 😊And thank you for watching and supporting!
I love drybrushing & I’m really tempted by this brush set!
It's the first set of brushes 100% designed for the technique, you won't regret it!
If you're looking to dip your toe in you could always pick up an XL, and if you like it get the others in a set, XL is my boy
I have learned so much from your channel. My painting has improved exponentially since I started watching your videos. Keep up the great work!
That's amazing to hear, dude🤩Thanks a ton! Keep watching and we'll keep painting!
Insane.
I had my doubts with color selection (too blue for the rocks I thought), and didn't know what you were going for with the AT-ST, I thought you'd have stayed at a far darker look with much smaller highlighting in the top corner & ridges.
Amazing.
respect.
Cleared up a few things I was having issues with. Thank you for sharing and please stay safe. That roll technique is on!
Always happy to help, Rob😊Thank you for watching and supporting! Best wishes!
Seriously awesome guide guys! I definitely fall into the more procedural painter so the step by step nature really helps, keep up the good work 😁
Wow, amazing to hear, dude! Your support is hugely appreciated! 🤩
What a wonderful tutorial!!!
Glad you think so! Many thanks
This is, by far, the most helpful video I’ve watched in months. I see dry brushing in every video, but no one has adequately explained it. New sub.
That's really nice of you to say! Thanks a ton and welcome aboard😊
Just ordered that textured pallette! Looking forward to using it!
Nicee! Thanks so much for your support, man :)
Thanks for going back to basics. Loved the vid
You're very welcome, buddy! Thank you for watching and supporting🤩
Another amazingly informative tutorial, thanks for going back to basics as my AO brushes recently arrived and absorbing this content is building my confidence to get cracking... just need to find the time now :)
Thanks for watching and supporting, dude
Nicely done - both the painting and the video. Thanks
Thanks so much dude, I know my painting but Ronan's to blame for everything good editing-wise, as I can't understand technology :D. You're welcome!
Thanks for the guides! Ordered a set of the series D, will be referencing your guides for techniques for my Dankanatoi Custodes!
Great! You're welcomed! Let us know if you have any issues and we'll do our best to help out!🤞😊
This video is super helpfull especially for new people learning the ways of the drybrush. I do a lot of drybrush and it's my favorite technique to use to paint something good looking in a short amount of time and I have still learnt from this video. Good job!
Awesome, dude! Always happy to help :)
Love how you teach the basics Is mesmerizing
Happy you think so! Thanks a ton❤
Wow - love your work. Eye opening.
Thanks so much, Ed, apprecited!
Awesome work, loads of tips, thanks for taking the time to make the video.
Our pleasure! If you have any questions please let us know in another comment, we're happy to answer anything :)
I ordered a set of your drybrushes last week (plus the XL) and am looking forward to receiving them and trying them out! So far I've been using makeup brushes (which are decent) or the Army Painter Masterclass drybrushes (which work nicely but shed like my cat).
Very helpful tutorial on the principels and different aspects of drybrushing. Thanks a lot.
You're very welcome! Always happy to help :)
Superb and original. Saved
Perfect. Thank you, I love you guys.
You're so welcome buddy! 😊Lots of love to you too 🤗Take care!
Love it! Thanks a bunch for all your videos. Gotta be my favourite painting channel to watch and learn from. Always well explained and filmed excellently!
I purchased some dirty down rust to use for the weapons on some nighthaunt stuff I'm working on and ran into a snag / issue which you may or may not know about!
Kind of obvious really in hindsight - It recommends sealing with a varnish before painting over it to prevent it being reactivated... what it doesn't mention is that doing this ALSO reactivates it before setting!
I was quite happy with the placement of pigments etc and went in with some Citadel Stormshield to protect it so I could do an edge highlight on some scythes. In doing so it moved my patches around and even streaked with the brushstrokes I was using and ruined to look somewhat :/ managed to move it around whilst the varnish was wet to where I liked it again, but it was more unplanned work.
Heads up!
Fantastic work
Many thanks🤩
Perfect! Just what I need. :) Thanks for these amazing videos.
Glad you like them! You're very welcome! And thank you for watching and supporting, Darren🤗
Been waiting for this one time to take my drybrushing to the next level boi!
Yey! Thanks so much, dude🤩
I've got so much terrain I've been procrastinating on. Thanks for this!
Happy to help! Thanks for watching, buddy!🤗
Ordered the set of 5 drybrush, and the texture pallet. Brilliant videos. 👏👏👏
Awesome!🤩🤘 Thank you so much for your support, hope they serve you well!
What a generous wealth of information. Thank you
Our pleasure dude, enjoy putting it to good use!
Absolutely amazing results 👍
Glad you think so! Thanks a ton
Another great tutorial. I've spent time watching this video (more than once) AND HAVE FOUND LOADS TO INTEREST ME. I might be watching it again (and again).
Thank you.
Tony
Happy to hear, Tony! Thanks so much, it means a lot! 😊🎄
Great video. This is the video I needed to find to help me understand your technique. A big thank you.
You're most welcome, dude :)
Amazing results in half the time!!!😮😮😮
Amazing work as always! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks a ton!🔥🤩
omg that's beautiful work!! thank you so much for sharing this technique! i so very much appreciate it! you're an awesome artist and a very good teacher!! Kudos!!!
You are so welcome! Always happy to help😊And thank you for your kind words and support!
These are great videos. Thank you.
Excellent tutorial with most of your drybrush tips in one place for future reference, tnx 👍
Always happy to help! Thanks a lot for watching and supporting
Awesome video as usual. Tons of great tips and inspiration as per normal. I have always been under the idea that drybrushing was an "necessary evil" way of final highlight in painting, but have been blown away by your videos. I always get streaks when I try and drybrush, so will def take a look on the "amount of paint and moisture" part from the video.
Would really love some more tutorial videos in the same way as this one on other aspects on painting as I've more and more are transitioning towards painter over player when it comes to my miniatures.
Thanks so much, dude
Amazing , love the Star Wars terrain ... big fan . Another great tutorial 👍 thank you
My pleasure! Thanks a lot for the support 😊
You get to paint so many great models
Awesome work.
Thank you so much 😀
I haven't heard of it before but you made it look so easy. I may have a try at it. thank you
You should, it's a simple, forgiving and fun technique! We are here to learn along with you😊
definitely going to have to give something like this a go, as it is I am heavily biased towards the airbrush, so now that you have out out such a comprehensive guide I think i might just challenge myself to paint something completely with the drybrush technique, start to finish, and see what I come out with! It will be interesting to see the differences against a model painted largely with the airbrush and a drybrushed example once I have slapped a crap ton of weathering techniques over the top! (weathering is literally the only point I would beg to differ with you on this one, I'm personally not a fan of drybrushed dust effects, nothing does dust, streaking, and splash effects as well as humbrol enamels!)
What a great tutorial! This is science applied to painting! So I must gather courage and open that set... I more confident after this video!
Thanks for the kind words mate, literally the exact purpose of the vid, glad you enjoyed it, now it's time to pick up those brushes!!!
thanks for the great video - just started painting minis and this videos answers a lot of questions I had about dry brushing. Sub'd and liked.
Our pleasure! There's plenty more drybrush action on the rest of the channel :)
If you're up for another thorough one, the first part of this contains some real gems!
th-cam.com/video/_OSAbpLhY-0/w-d-xo.html
Truly outstanding work, and instruction. From a noobie painter, thank you!
You're very welcome! Glad you liked it! Thank a lot for the support
Very helpful technique review!
Thanks man! Any further questions just ask us in a different comment :)
Thank you SO much for this! Great explanation and nice to see it from beginning to end with a focus on the dampening pad (just ordered a second one for my son and extra pads)!
I would love to see something showing how you use it for darkening agents like soot or darkness as I tend to drift towards the Grimdark style more often and love really heavy weathering.
Glad you find it helpful! I need to teach myself Grimdark and combine it with my love for weathering. We'll certainly get to thin in the future, we've touched on it in our second Star War legion AAT video 😊 Thanks for the support, hope your kiddy enjoys them too🤗Happy Holidays!
The staple to my week. I look forward to the next top chat you drop.
:):) 🥰
So glad I found this channel in my preparation to paint Knights. These techniques are going to save me loads of time
Glad you found us! :). We have a video on an armiger actually. Night be worth checking out, he turned out really well!
This is amazing. Cant wait to try it out on my own AT-STS
Oh, absolutely perfect🤩I'm sure you're gonna have an amazing time!
Amazing as always Byron. I would love to see another video of finishing it with battle damage, rust, corrosion etc but to be fair it already looks like an amazing piece where you left it. I'd love to see more Star Wars Legion models on the channel though. There's some amazing models in their range and they don't seem to get covered often.
HUgely appreciated again, Patrick! We've been asked this a lot. We also really enjoyed the SW model, especially the plastics and we'd love to return to them in the future! 😊
Particularly good video! Awesome
Happy to hear, thanks a lot! 😊
Your "principles of drybrushing" section is every teacher in the UK right now. It really made me smile. Really useful video, thanks.
😁😁😅 Thanks so much buddy, happy you like it!
Very good tutorial. Well done! I might buy these brushes now, even though I almost exclusively use airbrush/sable-brushes
Thanks dude! Our other brushes are pure sable, it doesn't make sense for the chunky-boys though, you're after different properties (and also they'd be £100 each 😅)
Thank you so much for this guide! I feel like this is a watershed moment for drybrushing technique - I haven't seen anyone else do a guide with these methods; really looking forward to giving them a go on my Warcry terrain
You're most welcome, dude - how did it go?
@@ArtisOpus not tried on terrain yet, but have done some Nighthaunt from your other videos
@@m4ttymc1984 QV
Fantastic video, thanks
You're very welcome, buddy! Thanks for watching and supporting 😊
Looking forward to putting my set to action when they arrive 👍
Amazing! Shouldn't take long dude, may already be in the post, if you're curious you can check with live chat on our site, or email support@artis-opus.com for an update :). Thanks for your support!
@@ArtisOpus emails suggest all outstanding orders dispatched by end of month, fingers crossed 🤞
Love this technique, thanks for the tips. The rocks would look nice with some green moss on them so they don't look the same as the metal finish.
Absolutely, dude! Some weathering and environmental finishing touches will go really well on them😊
Amazing technics and I thought it was so much more difficult, and it doesn't! Started training here and the results were good. Now I'll order the Artis Opus brushes to have a good set to work with. Thank you so much! Best regards from Brazil, Luis
Hey dude, sorry for the delay, so glad you've found it useful! Did your brushes arrive? Big love from the UK!
Was curious if you have a video for brush care? Ideal methods of cleaning your brushes, what not to use kinda stuff.
We're currently waiting on a product that's being assembled and got delayed due to the world situation. We're going to launch brush care video very soon though! 😊
I've now watched a couple of your videos on drybrusing and I'm absolutely sold. I find drybrushing messy and chalky a lot of the time, so I'm going to pick up a couple of these brushes and see how I get on!
Amazing, thanks for the kind words, dude! You won't believe how quickly you'll up your game, it's a very fun and organic painting style, too!
Let us know in another comment if you have any issues or questions, and we'll sort you out :)
Looks amazing and its so accesible to be able to do yourself its mind blowing. I have been struggling when getting into this hobby because I am not the greatest when it comes to painting and the way my head works is finding a system that can work across most of the minis i paint. I like the building them up and getting them ready but as soon as i go to put paint on them i am lost so this really helped to show that it can be simple. I would personally love to see you do a start collecting box or something along those lines where there is a large variety of models and there is a scheme for the army because i feel this would help people like me tackle a large amount of models in one or a few sittings. Loving the vids and may be investing in those nice brushes soon cos they look really nice to use.
Apologies for the delay, Robbie, no idea how we missed this one!
I'm very possibly going to be doing that across a vampire counts army, I've just releasdthe Vampire Lord tutorial, perhaps blood knights next!
I also have a slaanesh army which I've Vlogging (it's a personal army) if you'd like to see something that covers a wide range in a particular scheme :)
Great video, Im not into miniatures (yet?) myself, but technique was brilliantly demonstrated and the result absolutely spectacular, and made in very little time! I will definitely apply it in tanks and dioramas in the future
Awesome, thank you very much for your kind words! Happy to help😊Happy NY🥳
I do a lot of WW 2 resin figures,I think these would look. So cool in your technique as most photos were black and white
That's a very good observation, maybe even sepia-toned, it could look really artistic!
Thank you for these videos. I have recently purchased Artis Opus brushes and am trying to improve my painting so these videos are perfect for me. I am time poor so dry brushing looks very appealing to me to paint vehicles, terrain and batch paint infantry 80% finished. Thanks again
You're most welcome, dude, that's amazing to hear! We think it's fantastic for these and the more you do it the better you'll get😊🤩Thanks a ton for the support, hope the brushes serve you well!
Great Video as always! This will come in handy when I paint my sigmarite Mausoleum! Cheers and keep up the awesome work :)
Thanks for the support, dude! That's an absolutely perfect kit, you're going to have a blast! 🤩
This video was awesome. So helpful for a newb like me. Looking forward to trying this out.
Having clocked your account name I can guarantee you'll have a blast with it! :) Any further questions or issues let us know in another comment (not a reply, YT is awful for notifications)...and we will do our best to sort you out!
You can have a like and a comment already. I'm that confident in the quality of your content. Plus really looking forward to your video covering the basics. I may have been doing this for nearly 30 years (depressing) but I bet I still learn something from your video.
How did you find it? You're never too experienced to be able to learn from the basics. i've done some classes with pros that have really led to me questioning fundamentals.😊
@@ArtisOpus Brilliant, as usual. Still plenty to pick up as I was an old school drybrusher so only now learning your methods. I also like the longer video.
This video is amazing, i never wanted a brush so bad. The white bard was perfect. I was able to figure out what i was doing wrong. Not enough moister and to much paint for compensation. This upped my game a alot!
Thanks a ton, dude! That's exactly why we're having this channel - always happy to help :) Did you add the brushes to your Christmas list already?🎅
@@ArtisOpus im on my own, i plan on picking a set up on February 1st when i can afford it.
honestly this is something of a revelation! Im currently painting up an Iron Hands Army so I watched your Black Templar video and the drybrushed armour looks just amazing. I never knew that slightly damping the drybrush beforehand helps, always assumed it would be contradictory to the whole idea behind drybrushing but obviously not!
No idea how we missed this bud, thanks for the kind words, hope your painting journey has continued successfully!
This is a must watch for ANY modeller!!!
Thanks dude, that's what we're aiming for, hopefully star wars is generic enough to lure in the masses :D
@@ArtisOpus I run a Star Wars Model making group on Facebook with 6k members, DM me for a chat!
Nice work mate, I've been using your brushes for 6 months now and love them. The videos are great as well. Thanks!
I bought the Drybrushes on a whim as I don't tend to drybrush much but I can't stress enough how much better these are for drybrushing than just the "standard manky old square" brush that I see others recommend using. They are one of those special things to have in your toolbox that make things quicker AND higher quality. The good ol' win win.
Amazing, thanks so much for your comment Matthew! Can we see any of your work anywhere? Really glad they're serving you well, mate, do you have a favourite size? Stay safe, dude
@@ArtisOpus The Large Series D does 80% of the work and the Small Series D does the other 20% of my drybrushing. I tend to start with an airbursh, then to drybrushing with the AO drybrushes and then detail and washing work with AO Series S brushes. I moved away from the traditional brush suppliers because half the time they arrived splayed, which is a pain having to send them back for replacement. I've had 10 of your brushes without any issue, so they are highly recommended by me! The only set I haven't tried yet are Series M.
I am in the process of getting my work online at the moment, I'll drop you a link once I do!
All the best, keep up the good work!
Amazing vídeo...
I bought a set of these on the strength of this vid. I've always hated drybrushing ,but these things are pretty amazing even for a ham-fisted hack like me. Getting nice results after just a few minutes without all the hassle of cleaning an airbrush.
Amazing to hear, buddy! Thanks so much for your kind words! There are plenty more drybrushing tutorials to come😏
Thanks a lot!
