Great to see another 'Explained In 5 Minutes' video. They're all brilliant - clearly explained, informative and entertaining (which keeps me engaged) - and this is no exception. Thank you and please keep making them! I'm also DELIGHTED to see you're going to be streaming! 😀

I don’t have steady hands, so I use dry brushing as an alternative to edge highlights, simply follow up a heavy dry brush with a wash. Gives a nice sharp edge on vehicles and armor without the toonish appearance I get when trying to edge highlight. For example a Deathwing color scheme zandri dust spray, heavy dry brush with terminus stone, then wash with agrax earth shade… that gets your armor 90% done. Or dome enough to start working on other colors.

I just received the Artis Opus XS D brush....I think it's going to be my edger 😅

I’m trying to figure out what I learned here.

Really enjoying your videos Zumikito. Great advice, humour, and cool techniques to try. Keep up the good work!

Hey, Zumikito, thank you for your videos - I am using them as a manuals for improving my painter skills❤❤❤

Best way I've found is to think of it as the 'wet brush dry paint' technique, you want your paint thick because that creates a nice strong colour to apply with (I've left paint to dry for 5-10 minutes before to ensure this and it worked amazing) and then of course the damp brush so that the paint wants to slide off the brush whilst still being smooth.

You're the best . I just upvote before watching i like how you dont wast my time. Even the fluff is entertaining. Thanks man for the no bs lessons which keeps my short attention from wondering. If i ever win any painting competition ill be sure to to give credit where credit is due.

Great Video full of useful tips. Thank you!

Dude, I watch these just to laugh at your jokes! Bonus... it makes me want to try more dry brushing! Model looks great.

I like your style of content. You paint pretty good also! lol

The mold line on the necron arm actually looks good to me, almost like the sharp edge of a mechanical part.

Thanks for the tips! I'm brand new to painting minis and I'm going to be trying drybrushing for the first time on some tyranids. I'm going for a very similar pinky/magenta skin tone and when i saw how awesome the green carapace looked with it, I'm thinking of ditching my original plans (scarlet red). Could you please tell me which greens you used, to help me ponder it over?

What green paints did you use on that tyranid?

Hi, what is the brush you were using for dry brushing please?

are you able to give a little detail on the colours/method for the brain section? I really like the look of it and want to try it myself

What is the Matt/pad youre using to get the extra paint off called ?

where did you get that painting mat? that would be great for me to test how much i paint i have

love that beard

Circular motion also works if your are lightening up a base coat after shading, note BEFORE highlighting edges and stuff.

I'm wondering, but would it matter what type of Drybrush I'm using? I'm using one of those M drybrushes from Citadel, and if it matters, what are the optimal brush shapes or brands?

Where did you get the texture mat from?

What drybrushes are you using here and where did you get them? Thanks!

If you dont have a dampening pad you can use your wet pallete in a similar manner.

If you have a bitz box you can take a few (different shapes) and practice. You can test everything, pressure, brushes, paint, .....

Betting butts to brushes is never a winning strategy. A good video for speeding up the mass painting

Does anyone know what product is used at 0:52 ? Sounds like an easier way to fill up gaps than milliput or greenstuff!

Thanks for the quick explanation. After watching a lot of Artis Opus videos on drybrushing I still struggle to get the correct ratio of paint and moisture in my drybrush. Do you think that texture palette helps over some piece of cardboard?

Though I'm still new to drybrushing, the textured palette I bought from AO makes a world of difference as I find it allows the paint to grab the brush better when pulling off of it.

He paints that Tyranid model in 2 hours and it looks so wicked. Me that would take like 2 days lol. If you dont have a air brush or a spray can. Can you dry brush a light white for a zenithel highlight ?

I love the green carapace, it looks amazing. I was wondering if you could tell me what paint you used as the first green? I have ae similar scheme for mine for the carapace but my first green is very thin and needs sooo many coats to be smooth!

ciao la base dove metti i colori, che materiale è?

I've been out of mini painting for nearly 15 years. It feels like there have been so many advances and innovations in technique and the equipment available, that I don't know where to start 😂

This is something completely unrelated to the video, but does anyone know why when im painting resin minis, if i hold part of the model to make it easier to paint, any paint around edges and other close areas keeps coming off. Does anyone know how to fix this? Or is it as simple as using a clear coat after you prime

Hello Zumikito, Hello everyone, I'm fairly new here and I was wondering which platforms you use to 3D print your Miniatures or those that you think are the best !

What's the thing you're using to get the paint off your brush before doing the dry brushing? I really like it.

A texturepallete. You can make your own. Just glue a bunch of plastic bits packed close together.

Cany you explain how to clean dry brushes?

What do you use to fill in the gaps? I have been trying liquid greenstuff but I am never happy with the resoults.

@sasserine

10 ай бұрын

Sprue goo. When your plastic glue runs low, toss some fine sliced sprue bits in. They dissolve into a liquid plastic paste. Use a new clean glue bottle for gluing, use the goo for filling. As each clean glue bottle runs low, and the brush doesn't reach the bottom, add it to the goo. You can keep a goo bottle going for years.

Which sizes would you recommend from the Artis Opus drybrush range, Zumikito?

@@Zumikito I actually have a cheap makeup brush set.. I just really love the look of those Artis Opus brushes 🤣That's so sad...

I will start drybrushing very soon. But what i had to ask. After a session u have to clean your pallet right? Some creators build a pallet out of old plastic pieces or so. I thought that would be very hard to clean up. but if you dont do that then the pigments are still there right and you will eventually reactivate them in the next session. Also if you use very light colors that could be a problem or isnt it if the old paint is totaly dry?

@Zumikito

most of the time it's not a problem, but if you are worried about it, you can simply prime the drybrushing palette again so you don't have to clean up anything

Dilute your wash before applying? Better to use multiple pale washes, to get the darkness you require, than accidentally wash with too dark a shade.

6. Support any flimsy delicate parts, so you don't knock them off.

rules 2, 3, & 5 are for more than just miniatures. Or so I've been told... apparently I am also optimised for speed. 😂

2:26 I totally disagree with you! I think this is a great style. It could just be a bit more visible. Yeah its not super smooth but who cares? I like this almost-fog-like layer on the armor :)

The big issue I have with dry brushing is that always ends up looking flat, dull and chalky. Yes it highlights the raised edges but also makes the surface look two dimensional. And it's just so overused and obvious. Zenithal airbrushing followed with a wash (or pin wash) to always looks SO much better and you can then use edge highlighting to bring out the to top level detail, if needed.

if your players need classes to read cards they definitely don't see any caps on miniatures xD

slap chop shows those mold lines like no other, you think you got em all but nope...slap chop finds them

How I have to find a way to prove this is not helpful for the cheeks XD

Mould lines on necrons aren't as bad as with something like Nids. They still look like shit though.

You didn’t address the worst drybrushing mistake: streaks.

Man has a lot of faith in not drybrushing small details to bet his ass cheeks on it.
