Content

Hi everyone! A few weeks ago I asked you all what you'd like to know about drybrushing minis, and also if you wanted to share any top tips you had!

Well, this is the result of that post. I've put as much useful information about drybrushing as I possibly could into a 26 minute video, covering the super basics, all the way through to colour fades and amazing looking vehicle panels. Brush cleaning, texture palettes, basically... everything.

I hope you enjoy it! Massive thanks to everyone who contributed, you also get thanked in the video itself!

New Heroquest video soon!

Lots of love

Guy
