How to Drybrush Properly
Load your brush with paint, then wipe almost all of it off on a paper towel until it seems like nothing remains. Lightly sweep the brush over raised surfaces. The leftover pigment catches only the edges, instantly defining details.

Use Multiple Tones for Depth
Start with a mid-tone drybrush, then apply a lighter highlight drybrush on the most raised or exposed areas. This layered approach creates natural depth on fur, stone, chainmail, or terrain.

Choose the Right Brush
Larger, soft, round or flat brushes work best for broad textures, while small, firm brushes help you control drybrushing on armor trim or tiny details.

Drybrushing is fast, forgiving, and incredibly effective—perfect for both beginners and speed-painters wanting crisp results with minimal complexity.
