    Great tips. I find painting to be the hardest part as I always have an image in my head of what I want it to look like but find it hard to get those details. Still working on weathering and creating depth and these tips will help. Thanks!

    For dry brushing, you put just a tiny bit of paint on the bristles and work it in on something non-porous. What you're doing just dries out the paint. You're rubbing grit and it doesn't stick.

    Very cool. A lot of these techniques are essentially the same in miniature painting. I was wondering if you could use a wash - basically a watered down black or dark acrylic paint that runs easily into grooves and carvings (like on the first purple bracer) - and use it to paint (shade) with a small brush into the carved designs, giving it greater contrast and make them stand out.

    I think that would work out pretty well! For my Wonder Woman cosplay, I had gaps in between layers of foam detail, which I painted with a darker shade, and it looked really good. I think that a watered down paint would also work pretty well for small details - you’d just have to be precise with your painting :) Hope that’s helpful!
