This Is Why Should NOT Drybrush Your Models! (...and how to do it anyway)
Drybrushing, especially Slapchop, is a hot topic in the miniature painting scene. It might seem like a fast and easy technique, but is it really? Will it destroy your models, if you use drybrushing?
In my journey as an professional miniature painter I discovered many ways of using this popular technique. However, there is a big reason why I don't teach drybrushing in my workshops and in this video you learn why. If you are still convinced that drybrushing is your way to go, I show you my approach of doing it in this video as well!

is this arnold schwarzenegger speaking? xD
Hahaha it’s all Arnold yes
Of course you should drybrush, even if you want to become a better painter. Drybrushing not only has a space for personal improvement, but it has done so for a lot of people. Byron, indeed, has revolutionized the way we do it...
Thank you for your feedback, I will let that sink :)
I’m so glad to hear someone saying that it’s not all about speed. Almost every UA-cam video I watch has an emphasis on painting fast. That’s okay if your motivation for the hobby is primarily gaming but some of us want to paint at the best standard possible. You can’t do that with extensive use of contrast paint and drybrushing.
Thank you so much ❤️ that comment is with gold for my soul :D
Wet pallets aren't necessary.
Of course it’s not necessary, but it helps a lot of painters :)
@@MarcusMiniatures not as much as everyone believes. Wet pallets are the biggest scam in the hobby.
@@JPGotrokkitsok, thank you for the feedback. I think everybody can choose there own equipment :)
@MarcusMiniatures heh, I probably came on stronger than intended. Of course, use what suits you best as a painter.
Can you explain how the advance technique differs from the slapchop technique please?
Thanks for asking, when I use the drybrushing and texturing via drybrush I glaze down like with slapchoping. But after that I try to build up more layers and highlights after that. To try to give it a more personal and crisp look, I will maybe make another video about that. It wasn’t clear enough maybe. It’s also a little to much content for a mini tutorial like in that video :)
@@MarcusMiniaturesthat would be super helpful. Looking forward to more of your videos!
3:42 i movded on from dry brushign to wet-dry brushing using the dampening pad technique. Makes for some nice blends and object lighting.
Thats great :)
You say don't drybrush but you show only drybrush techniques.
That’s the idea of the video ;) I say it multiple times that I would not recommend it if you want to improve your skills in miniature painting but there are several ways how you can use it to save time
Dry brushing has its place, it is just one technique, no artist would restrict there are art, by only using one technique or by banning the use of one, it’s more as to when and where to use it, a video on when too dry brush and when not too!
This is an excellent demonstration. Thank you for putting this together!
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
I really want to dry brush, because I'm an idiot and picked Drukhari as my first army and there's LOTS of edge highlighting and I fear 10 edition will be over before I get a painted army on the table.
For some army’s it’s a very quick method yes :)
I think it's very important to have a good drybrush and to really have almost no paint on the brush. 🖌
You are right :)
I drybrush/wash/ink armies, and use other more controlled techniques for individual models and display pieces. If you've got 120 models to paint, even saving 10 minutes per model that's 20 hours saved and well worth it to get an army on the table. Too many armies I've started and not got past the first squad because I picked a painting technique that was too slow. On the flip side, I love my rough painted armies that I whipped up in a couple of weekends and can throw around on the table without having a heart attack if someone touches them. My best results with drybrushing was something I discovered long before speed paints were a thing, which is to drybrush in layers and apply light washes after each layer of drybrush. So maybe start with a dark red primed model, drybrush a slightly less dark red, wash a dark brown, drybrush a midtone red, lightly wash the dark brown again, drybrush a light red/orange, then a final wash. It adds more depth and visual interest, the washes blend the drybrushes together, and you end up with the deepest recesses having 3 coats of wash visible while the upper portions only have 1 which seems to add to the depth.
Thank you for sharing that experience ❤️
drybrushing makes a come back when you graduate out of 28 mm and move up to like 1/8th scale
That’s true :)
Yes, I would like to boost my overal appearance please.
Oh you handsome guy don’t need to boost your appearance;) leave some looks for the rest of us ;)
Ich nutze Trockenbürsten weniger als früher. In meinen Augen ist es vor allem der Verlust an Kontrolle, der diese Technik schwierig macht. Allerdings habe ich erst gestern ein Beispiel für eine sehr gezielte und räumlich begrenzte Anwendung gesehen. Vielleicht muss man es einfach als gezielte Technik einsetzten und nicht als overall-standard-technic für jede Mini sehen
Ja ich bin mir sicher das man jede Technik absolut perfektionieren kann, und dann ist sie sicher auch spannend. Over all muss ich sagen seh ich es seit vielen vielen Jahren nicht das sie sehr spezifisch angewendet wird, sondern eher als Technik um schnell ein Ergebnis zu erzielen. Was ja toll ist, aber oft zulasten des Fortschritts. Danke auf jeden Fall fürs Kommentar :) das freut mich immer sehr
When i started collecting warhammer minis about 1.5 years ago, i heavily used drybrushing in the beginning. `cause like everybody tells you: do drybrushing, its super simple and super fast. And that is correct. When i started i wanted to get my armies battleready ASAP, and when you want to make it look good for the tabletop ~1m away thats a really simple method. And i was happy with it, looked really good (back then ^^) But when i had many models painted and also played some tournaments i started to take more time for painting. i didnt need to get something ready fast for use in a tournament, because the base roster was painted. Ant thats where (for me) painting really started to make fun. I think i haven't used drybrushing in over half a year, and now my models look so much better when you take a closer look. its way more satisfying when you have in the end a really unique model with your personal brush-touch :). Now my armies get model for model replaced with nicer, better looking ones. And you never stop learning while painting. This channel here helped me in particular to get better, you learn really well the basic techniques and improve from there on your own. When i started i mostly used 3 different colours (for example a dark red, a red, a brighter red) for an surface. Now i also use 3 colours, but its my base colour, black and white/yellow/light blue (whatever fits). then i mix ~7-9 gradients and use that, and it looks SO.much.better. All thanks to Marcus, keep those videos coming!
That’s one of the best and nicest comments I’ve ever got and it gives me so much energy to continue this very work intensive channel ❤️ thank you so much for taking your time to comment and let me see that the idea of this channel is spot on :)
Camera's over here, mate 😂
🤷🏼♂️🤭
Thanks confirming my painting choices ! Do the boring important stuff first and do the fancy stuff later if it doesn't look good yet 😂 Thinning is a skill 😅 Many coats is ok !
Very welcome :D and thank you for watching and commenting 💪🏼 keep on painting
@@MarcusMiniatures yeah 👍 I'm soon through my first army. It's kruelboys and I focused on batch painting one unit at a time. One color per session. So yeah trusting the process was key. I found that it helps me get in the zone doing so many times the same thing over and over. It might kill the groove for some but it was so much more rewarding to have 20 hobgrots ready all at once 😎
That’s amazing ❤ great job. It’s always so nice to finish something. Best feeling
No offense but you like a regular sized painter.
I am a regular sized painter :D
Finished, not perfect is the best advice you gave. Finished lets you learn more than agonizing over perfect.
It changed my life as an artist a lot… thank you very much for commenting and watching my video, it’s a lot of work and it’s great to see people find something that they like about them.
Good tips but what you rly have to show to the noobs is stuff like 'if you overpaint with acryl you can wipe it away with a wet brush real quick
That’s a very good idea, I have several ways of fixing little things and will put it on my video list ❤️ thank you for watching my videos and hope you like them :)
Great suggestions, thanks!
Very welcome! Thank you for watching my video ❤️
As someone who works 13-hour shifts (that’s not a typo) at a coal mine that switch from days-to-nights, and nights-to-days 4 or 5 times a month, AND have a family-I find that I always tend to take those shortcuts. 😅 I basically use speed/contrast paints, maybe do a drybrush, and I always forget to varnish the model in the end. Time is a very valuable luxury I just don’t have… I’ll maybe get one or two models done in a month. 😿
I am sorry to hear that. I would never say that you should not do whatever you think is the right thing to do :) it’s just my opinion of how to get better :) thank you for watching my video :)
Mega Video! paint consistency sehr gut erklärt. Damit strugglen viele.
Danke danke ❤️
Editor's Note: 5:23 when Marcus is showing the spare model: This is actually an example for a too thick paint layer. Just ask, if there are any other confusions. thanks, and stay tuned for the next video! ☺
Thank you 🙏
Wieder ein super Video 🙂
Vielen Dank 😊 ❤️❤️❤️
Nice vid, congrats 🤜🤛
Thank you so much ❤
Wieder sehr interessant und informativ, vielen Dank dafür. Besonders die Konsistenz der Farben und dein Test dazu fand ich interressant. Ein Frage, wie wascht du die Farbe von deinen Händen?
Vielen lieben Dank ❤️ also ich wasch meine Hände immer mit Seife und rubbel ein wenig :D das geht schon :)
Finished, Not perfect. Ist super. Sage auch immer für Leute die anfangen, bemalt ist immer besser.
Ich liebe es ❤ so viel Wahrheit in dem Video
Great video! I’m loving this from scratch videos. Can I ask you two questions: Do you use ice yellow and blue snow for every single colour or just for this miniature colours? Also, what brushes do you use? Well, actually three questions hahaha. Thanks!
thank you very very much :D <3 i use those 2 colors for most of my highlight colors to bright them up, so its universal useable. i use daVinci Serie 70 or 76 for all of my models.
I can’t stay in the lines. Too far this way with one color, too far that way with the other color. Really discouraging
I am sorry to hear that, it was my first ever video and I try to improve it over the next month and maybe I can make my content cleaner and easier to understand:) thank you for watching
shadings the the work for the light (natural or artificial) not for the paint ;)
Thanks for the feedback :)
Brilliant, this is a great channel to show my Warhammer club. So clear and helpful for beginners. Subbed.
thank you so much, i am glad you like it :)
I just did all this with this same model with slap chop, zenithal highlighting, and contrast paints with select layer highlighting in under 45 mins
Thank you for the feedback :)
Awesome video! Thanks for the tips!
Thank you so much, glad you liked it ❤️
This is very good.. for a beginner coming into painting this would be the one stop on youtube. Good consistent presentation and direct talk that takes you through the fundamentals of painting - this will give you a good foundation of skills. 10/10
Thank you so much, this was the idea behind that first videos and also of course the next videos :)
I'm enjoying the production quality of these videos, but have to admit after four videos I still don't know what you mean by "limitless painting" or how this philosophy differs from what we see on other channels. Curious to see where this is headed!
Thank you for your words :) Limitless pretty much means that you can work flawlessly from step to step. Imagine you would drybrush at the first video, that would give you a hard time to continue a clean painting process. Also several other things like to many effects or tricks, shortcuts will lead to a process that sometimes is giving you limits for your outcome. Our way of painting gives you the possibility to start and stop wherever you want, and also continue the miniature after you put it away for a while. Several tutorials will show you how you let it look cool and fast, but after that, that’s it. Of course you can always do a little bit more, but I think white that step by step, a lot of people will have a very structured and controlled way of painting there models. Even when they don’t know the finishline yet :)
@@MarcusMiniatures Makes sense -- thanks for the explanation! :)
Love love love the intro hook!
thank you so much xD ❤️
Great vid subbed
Thank you so much ❤️
Dankeschön für deine Videos und deine guten Erklärungen. Ich hoffe ja, es irgendwann mal nach Österreich zu schaffen und so vielleicht mal bei dir was lernen zu können 😊
Das würd mich mega freuen, wie zahlt sich immer aus :)
Thanks for the video, Really cool to see someone use the AK deep shade medium. I'm experimenting with it recently, I like that it can be used kinda like a citadel contrast paint using it raw, but also like a shade with a bit of dilution.
Yes I really like it, it’s easy and a nice finish IMO :)
Very nice video!
Thank you alot ❤️
Just discovered your channel and I'm glad I did! Just watched your first few vids, you're a fantastic engaging presenter! Really enjoyed the content so far and look forward to more!
Oh that’s so nice of you! Thank you very very much and glad you like my content ❤️
@MarcusMiniatures you're very welcome! Thanks for the good content, so many great painters are unfortunately very dull delivering their content! 😂 given your insta a follow too 🤗
@@Baptist85 thank you :D
Sehr anschaulich. Ich hoffe du erklärst im nächsten Video noch mehr zu dem letzten Schritt mit den Tinten. Bislang habe ich noch nie metallics gemischt. Sollte ich aber vielleicht mal probieren.
Freut mich sehr! Ich werd natürlich in den nächsten Video immer tiefer auf verschiedene Techniken eingehen. Vielleicht nicht im nächsten aber kommt alles :)
Great video. Wish you all the best for youtube. Greetings from Linz.
Thank you very much ❤️
Great vid and advice
Thank you ❤️ we give our best
Thank you ❤️
Wieder super 😀
Danke dir ❤️❤️
I just want you to know that I am enjoying your content and finding it super helpful/educational. The level that you get zoomed in is really helpful because it gives an up close look at where you are deciding to place the paint and gives a good sense of size/depth with the brush. Keep up the amazing work and production quality! Crazy that I'm finding this channel with under 600 subscribers. Wish you the best!
That’s so nice of you and I am really glad you like the video 🥰 I know it’s a small channel so far but I am working on it to reach more painters to help them improve :)
Wieder sehr interessant gemacht und ich konnte wieder einiges lernen, freue mich schon auf dein neues Video und vielen Dank für deine Hilfen.
Vielen lieben Dank ❤️ freut mich sehr
ERSTER!!!!
Ooh so motiviert :D
Weiter so. Bin gespannt was noch kommt. Für mich hätten es ein paar Schnitte weniger sein können. Wenn die Einstellung ein paar Sekunden länger gehalten wird wirkt es vielleicht doch etwas ruhiger.
Servus :) vielen dank für das konstruktive Feedback, werden wir auf jeden Fall beherzigen:)
