Edge highlighting is the cornerstone of Games Workshop's painting method, with their Eavy metal team, and their power-armoured space-marines always pristine and crisp... But is is worth doing?
In this video we're loading you up with so many tips and tricks you'll be able to learn how to edge-highlight, how to get away without edge-highlighting, and how to find your own middle-ground in-between, whether you want to just try it on a character, or 'cheat' your way through an army with drybrushed edges!

Check out the outro of the video for details on how you can win one of FIVE sets we're giving away, thanks so much for your support!
I love the videos, and how you show mistakes and how to fix them. thats really usefull. I would love if you would detail what brush size you use for what. Sometimes its hard to know as a noob, if i should go with as small as possible, or if i should be able to do something with a size 1 or 0.
I would love a video on how to paint chaos deamons, or at least some of the work that goes into making rotten skin seem "slimey" and those effects.(organic effects)
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What I'd really like to know is how you would go about painting different textures (painted metal, leather, cloth, bone, etc.) using your more unique style of painting. I've watched a lot of tutorials touching upon textures, but none of them very in-depth, and the ones that are look very fussy and fiddly. Maybe you've got some suggestions or techniques in that regard? As always, thanks for a lovely detailed tutorial!
Huge fan I have a suggestion for a video. Can you make a dry brushing for dummies.. meaning show what it looks like when you have too much paint too little paint or pressure and show us what doing it wrong looks like. So essentially help me figure out why I can't even get close to the same planet as you lol😂
that would honestly be so helpful since i cant drybrush to save my life lmao😅
Absolutely!! I'm a total newbie so this is what I need the most! LOL😂🤣
Yep , Iv tried to follow videos but never seem to get it looking 🤌🤌🤌, very keen for your noob videos plz 🙏
suggestion: some tips about painting large organic surfaces, specifically leathery (bat) wings , maybe the shadow queen (morathi) ? or for 40kers Tyranid flyers I guess
A winged nazgul would be great 😇
My suggestion: a video explanation of skin colors for both monsters or humans, or some Middle Earth related content would be appreciated as well 🥺
I know it's not exactly all that common but I'd love to see how you handle painting translucent/transparent bits on minis
I tried doing this myself recently and it turned out ok so I'd love to see a decent tutorial for that!!! Fantastic video as always!!!
Definitely - I've looked for videos for painting translucent effects on non-translucent models (thinking of translucent effects on Nighthaunt) and not coming up with much other than a guide or two focused on the Scinari Cathallar, which rely on the fact that the model is specifically designed to facilitate that effect.
For stuff like Fire Prism actually translucent bits I was just lazy and glazed them...
Honestly same
I agree!
❤
I agree with this, I’ve struggled finding many tutorials on this, great suggestion.
I'd really love to see someone who has not painted before, paint with Byron as a teacher. I think it may help highlight to people what your first minis may look like, and that you really can't "ruin" it.
Bonus points if you have them paint 3, and show the two they do after the first at the end of the vid. Just to show their progress in the learning process as they figure things out by just doing the thing after learning the basics! 👍
Would love to see a detailed video on how to use the texture palette, I know it seems common detail but just a overview and like do you spray it before using it etc also quick and easy way to do demons :-) Just picked up some brushes and can't wait to use them :-)
I'd love to see a video of object source lighting using a drybrush and how that compares to using an airbrush or glazing. EDIT: Basically a similar video comparison to this except following up on the osl for beginners and how different osl techniques such as using an airbrush, glazing and drybrush compare when it comes to time, effect, steps, etc.
I believe he already has an osl guide, but I assume this is more about seeing it compared to other methods which I think he doesn’t show in his guide.
Yup exactly, I should have clarified that better as seeing a comparison between the different techniques for osl similar to this video comparing drybrushing and edge highlighting@@duchoang5410
I would love to see a battle damage video. Or a video on taking care of dry brushes and Artius opus brushes in general. Also the uses of the Artius opus mat.
I agree!
I would love to see a video showing you how you can incorporate new techniques you learn in your hobby into an old project you started years ago without the new models looking out of place.
As someone returning to the hobby from a several decades break, I would love to see a full length video of a complete paint job. From selecting a mini, to selecting a colour scheme, to basing and a varnish coat.
Keep the great vids coming.👍
You might be interested in some of Artis Opus's older videos that cover some of these topics.

Yes! I've been looking for something like that for the past month. Everyone seems to either skip the "boring" parts. I want to see how everyone base coats different parts of the model, how many coats they do etc.
I'd like to see something like water spray or wet armor on a full marine or item. Like if it was a hard rain during the fight. Yeah a hard rain and extremely muddy terrain. So hard the rain splashes up from the mud making the armor even muddier. Like the best rainy football games or like their slogging along trying to take a hard objective in the soup. Even half faces or helmets covered in mud with small chunks of mud and grass and grainy bits. I've never seen that done. Maybe even ultra realistic or grim dark style but without all the messy oil covering. Something more precise rather than just slopped oil layer hiding the paint. Love the channel! Thank you. I'm late to the party so if you really like the idea can I get an honorable mention? :)
I would like to see a full guide for painting a complete model (maybe just a basic space marine intercessor, something anyone can get their hands on) with these techniques. Split it into 3 sections. Here is start to finish for beginners, then intermediate, then expert. That way someone can follow along with a step by step guide and start getting comfortable with these techniques not just in theory but in application on a complete model. Love your stuff! I’ve been dying to get my painting up to a level that I can justify getting your brushes.
Agree 💯 I struggle to know how to move from one stage or process to the next and how to fix my mistakes
I'd love to see any tutorial covering blending with speedpaints. Just got a huge set and I'd like to know anything to enhance them honestly.
Yes that would be awesome to learn more techniques for speed paints !
A few years ago you made a video about Drybrushing NMM. I would love to see a more detailed video covering that subject, maybe even with other colors then silver.
Fantastic video as always!!!
I'd love to see a video on using pigment powders - UA-cam painters never seen to use a pigment setter, they just dollop it on.
Otherwise a video on using texture paints like the snow and ice ones on bases?
Personally for me..
I'd love to suggest a video on how to pick colours that go together and such. With recommendations of the different colours that are basically the same.
I tend to go for Box art, or follow specific colour schemes from tutorials, but I'd like to venture out into trying my own colour schemes or improvised ones. But I have no idea of which colours fit with which colours, and how to implement them to make a miniture stand out, instead of looking weird.
I’d love for you to revisit black base color marines like your Black Templar video a few years back. I think it could use a punching up of nuance in the color variation kind of like you showed in this tutorial. I’d also like to see how you approach doing colors over metal base layers. Like you know, on a black Templar! Can you tell I want a new Black Templar video yet?
Congrats on 100k! 🎉🎉🎉
I'll leave a comment...
For a while I struggled with my paint jobs...I watch hours of UA-cam videos trying to find a style/formula but never was happy. I came across the ultimate drybrushing tutorial and it did it for me man, felt good about my work thanks to you. So good sir I appreciate the time and effort you put into your guides. Thank you.
I would like to see a video on making undead / decaying effects and rust really down and dirty painting. Thanks for all your videos
The one thing I'd like to see more is about how to manage the dampness when doing drybrush. It's always either too chalky or too wet, cant seem to have figured out how to get to the sweet spot. I know you made many great videos on drybrushing, but one that addresses this specific aspect, with many example both on how to do it right and how to do it wrong, would be very valuable.
Honestly would like to see you fully paint a model! These tutorials are great but would love to see a step by step process on a full mini!
A video or series on planning an army paint scheme would be very handy. You could discuss which painting techniques and colours you would choose for different areas of the army i.e characters Vs troops plus basing techniques. All weighing up speed Vs quality to get a whole army painted.
I would love to see more grimdark style with drybrushing/stippling.
This video really helped me understand how little it matters for me to paint perfectly or not, because its so easy to fix it afterwards.
It also really showcased how going the extra mile will certainly lift it up, but its debateable if the difference is even worth all the extra effort, because i would have been already more than happy with the pre-extra-edgehighlighting step.
Also it made me order new brushes.
I'd really appreciate a video on how to make weathering of non-metallic surfaces look really good. Mostly textiles, leathers or any kind of skin or rock would be nice :)
I’m on my holiday but I’ve got wi fi so glad I didn’t miss it . I would like to see a tutorial on NMM , but specifically on where to place the dark and light spots and transitions in between .
Also I fell on the floor laughing when you said “ your prob better than me “ your so funny 😂😂😂
Hey, I'd love to see how you would drybrush batch style, so like a 5 man squad. Which bits you would do first, what order etc etc.
Oh that hasn't been done in a while. At least not the same model. Good dea
Short answer, if you dont paint for golden demon, its not worth it , it might kill the whole hobby for you if you hate to edgehighlight
First of all, thank you a lot for this great video, as all your ones!
My suggestion is you could make a video on your drybrushing style applied to miniatures with lots of small details of different colors close one to the other. How do you organize and plan your drybrushing steps? You can do all with a small drybrush, or you have to switch to a classic brush?
I would like to see some crazy oversaturated stuff. Fantasy or maybe some blood bowl... even an Ork vehicle xD
Suggestion: I'd love to see you do a 5 man squad using drybrush, to help us all get an army on the tabletop quick, but to a good quality using your drybrushes and techniques (You could give yourself a time limit to do all 5 for the video too).
I think Custodes would make for a good one to do as they are dripping with detail and you can get a range of different models from one box of 5 Custodian Guard.
For example, you could have one be a Shield captain with cape etc, one guy with a Vexilla banner and one with a sword + shield, the other 2 could Spears etc etc.
Ive always wanted to know how I could get my Custodes on the table quicker. But I don't want to compromise too much on the quality of the paint job.
I'd love to know how to make them look amazing and make their capes etc really pop too 🔥
Love the video it is very informative on the highlighting
The last highlight really made the exhaust vents stand out as if the light was reflecting on them
One of the things I would love to see is brush husbandry I.e brush cleaning techniques and brush care
It is not something you see much what soap should you use ectra
I would like to see how to paint wet and shiny-looking things like gems and liquids. Spilled oil. Oozing pipes. Etc. loved this vid btw
I think something focused on accessibility would be great. We have a lot of painters who struggle with finer details due to this or that health reason and showing how you can work around some of that would be really interesting. There are already some UA-camrs in that space, but I think this channel's usual style could bring an interesting twist to that and help bridge the gap between "GW-style" painting and what some of those other channels do.
Couldn't agree more, great suggestion!
Hey. I’d like to see the process (order of things) you use for painting a whole squad/unit/army. Including bases and transfers. Thanks. Keep up the good work. Love it.
Suggestion: Battle damage and weathering for Horus Heresy era marines. I for one struggle with it as it always seems to end up looking like a decorator’s radio
I'd love to see if it's possible to really make under painting work w/ DryBrushing (similar to a Craft World Studio) style paint job. Keep up the great work on this channel. Good luck to all on the giveaway!
I would like to see you drybrush a sculpture possibly of 6 inches...to see how you go about...I both airbrush and drybrush sculptures but would be interested in seeing how you go in your technique...plus would love to win one of these sets...thanks again ....Robert
Well done on hitting 100k subs. Now to hit 200k 😉 Would love to see weathering on a wide variety of materials on small minis
How about a similar video to this red recipe but recipes for other colours too green, blue, black, white, etc. Doesn't have to be as in depth but following the same process. The plot twist could be using these recipes for napoleonic uniforms. And while I'm here does this process work with larger scale figures? Keep up the good work I find them very inspirational. Really will have to dig my Vostroyans out of their boxes one day 😀
I've watched a lot of your videos and have the leviathan box set to build / paint! Could you do a video / mini series for pulling everything together? i.e. using airbrush to undercoat / maybe some basic base coats. where to stipple / dry brush for getting the the models out quickly and where to put some extra time on things like captains / big models with the glazing / blends / etc.
I think I'm like a lot of people who are relatively new to the hobby and get confused / put off of where to spend time or be efficient. Plus with very low skill levels but want to get something reasonable out there. Thanks...
p.s. might work well with the cities of sigma ;)
My Suggestions: Is a tutorial on combining more techniques together to paint a full model, so combining the techniques like drybrushing, edge highlighting, glazing, blending and other, and putting these techniques together to paint a model well
Great video and great channel! It kills me how many skilled painters on the 'net "shun" the use of dry-brushing and washes. While certainly not useful for everything, there are many things for which washes/dry-brushing are not just merely the fastest way to do it, but the best way.
Suggestion
Do a video or a series on the bare basics. I don’t mean techniques like stippling or dry brushing. I mean thinning, loading a brush, and how to make paint behave how you want.
There are a few people who do these kind of videos but I’d like to see your take.
Would love to hear/see if there are any best practices to get value out of drybrushing and stippling even on models with extensive detail and trim.
I play Thousand Sons and while I don't think there's necessarily any way of lessening the blow of the million hours of trim, I feel that most of the wow factor of the army comes from giving proper love to the non-trim parts of the armour. Would love to see how you would approach getting a pleasing end product while having to "fight" all the raised detail and trim.
thnx great vid .i would like to see some spray gun techniuqes....:}
It would be nice to see a video with tips, suggestions or techniques for hand stabilization to to help people with shaky, or trembling hands.
Id love to see a tutorial on how to do a black or white armour, with blue highlights/edge highlights
For example white Tau armour but with blue accents and highlights opposed to the usual red
and maybe Votan armour painted black or really dark blue with blue accents and highlights.
Hello, would love to see a full army video. Something with a unique color scheme. 👍
How do you approach interpreting or translating a colourscheme from say 'I want to paint blood angels' into the actual colours you end up using and applied in a way that is suitable for painting a whole army in a reasonable time?
I struggle the most with how to pick colours, I realise there's colour theory - complimentary and contrasting colour etc but then there's warm and cool and then metallics too and probably more.
I'd like to see more about how to weather while also using technical effects / textures. Thinking about things like flaking paint over rust with texture.
i think the biggest thing i need to know what no one really mentions is the why and how.. like when people do skin tones they seem to cover everything in one color then just cover it again in another completely.. why choose the colors that you use and how do they work when overlapping them. in my mind if i dont get those awsners i tend to think i can skip steps which im sure a lot of people also do then wonder why there models look like a hot pile of trash.
I'd love to see a video about time-efficient painting and what things to do or avoid, since I feel like I'm often spending way more time on a mini than what I see here or in other channels with way less detailed results. I often hear "you can do this in 5 minutes" and I'm like 20 minutes in and it looks nothing like it 😅.
I would love more videos on large, flat surfaces like vehicles asks large creatures without a lot of texture to help you out. Do you edge highlight? Zenithal? How do you keep it smooth and with less visible brush strokes?
I would love to see your take on a grimdark Salamanders technique
I would love to see how you approach a model with lots of recesses. Something a Necron Reanimator, with lots of overlapping areas.
And thank you for all your videos. I have only starting painting in the past couple of months. And your videos have helped no end!
I think it might be interesting to see how to go about drybrushing kitbashed and "green-stuffed" elements. Like, does it still work as well, even when the model itself isn't highly detailed and carefully thought out by a professional, if that makes sense?
Would be awesome to see you coach someone who would be a beginner painter live/time lapsed using your methods to a tapletop and show case level paint job!
Another thing that might be interesting would be seeing how well your painting techniques work when used on Gunpla?
Paint more Orks!
i'd love to see some OSL done with drybrushing
Hee amazing job on the vids.
I would like to see a kitbash based video 🙏
I'm literally using drybrushing to do all my base highlights for my Raven Guard. Going from a base coat of pro acryl black and using their dark warm grey to do a highlight looks fantastic for giving making the shapes easier to see and giving the armor a worn look. It looks amazing
Would hopefully like to see some larger terrain pieces or kitbashing
Good Stuff!! Very Simple. Rinse and Repeat!! Thx!
More fixing of mistakes!!!😅
You got it! Don't imagine I will stop making them 😅
Hello from France! 🇫🇷
I really love this video. It is one of my favorites of yours. Your pro tips, how you explain them, how you illustrate them, how you show them in action, how you edit your videos to show where exactly the action is... They are so good! I learn so much from them and they give me so much inspiration for my own way of painting. I used the one with the chaos shield to try and I had a really awesome and easy result on an arminger!
And this one was magically timed with my current thoughts about how I should load my brush as I have difficulties to obtain the results I want and I was talking about that today with my brother! 😊
I am always stunned by your dry brush technique and I really enjoy when you show them with use or comparison to other techniques.
But the most important part that give me so much joy is how you talk about mistakes, how to handle them how you explain why it's ok with so much positive attitude. I'm very perfectionist but I don't have yet the necessary control on my brush for it. But thanks to you I still stay motivated to continue to improve. Thank you so much for that. And I learn a lot from that. It give a "feel good" feeling when watching.
For future videos, I'm really curious about what you will show with an airbrush and I don't know if you have already done videos about cape or leather ones but I'm interested on techniques for clothes.
Continue your impressive work and I hope one day I will be able to meet you at an event and buy you a drink! 🍺😎
I want to see an updated Grey Knight NMM video!
I would like to see more of the contrast highlighting techniques you did for the nids carapace video. They looked great. But can it be done on a space or other miniature with larger smoother surfaces?
Edge Highlighting is awesome... But the time taken... Not so much. Drybrushing for me! 😂
:D we're here to help inform the decision!
I'd love to see a video about how to pick a color scheme for your army.
not just going into color theory. but also a how-to find inspiration and a guide on how specific details on the models can rally elevate your results if you consider them in this process.
I had a hard time doing this for my Votan army but, I settled on Calador sky and standard mechanics grey as a base with screaming bell highlights as I painted the Hekaton land fortress.
Not to steal an idea for Byron but somebody once suggested looking at sports team colors. They often have a three-color theme.
As a beginner, it's annoying that you need glazes in all the colours. Why can't it be a colourless glaze?
A colourless glaze doesn't achieve anything - can you explain please?
FACES PLEASE! , Heads/faces/small detail. Tips tricks & ideas 💡 would be fantastically helpful 🙏
Noted, this is a great suggestion
I could never understand why sometimes the paint on my brush would last way longer when highlighting until you described the flow of water on the brush and going down too close to the ferrule. Thanks Byron, I learn something everything I watch your videos!
Any opportunity to drop useful nerdy physics in is worth taking! :D
Our pleasure, buddy :)
I'm still in my kind of research before committing to a painting recipe. I'm playijg Dark Angels. Reducing vibrancy and trueness of the base coat is why I don't want to dry brush. I think I'll be able to be more consistent if I learn to have a skilled, controlled edge highlight.
You can always glaze it back over, it's a very powerful technique, whether drybrushing or nog
Thanks for video!
It would be nice to have video about painting little miniatures with using D brush series, for example Aeldari rangers, chaos cultist or admeh rangers or any hight detalied miniatures on 25/28 mm bases.
And with different textures
Would love to see a guide on how to achieve a marbled effect
I would love to see a Vid on fast effiecient way to do terrain
disregard all other techniques, embrace the drybrush. Popped down to element the other day and picked up your drybrush gear, I'm ready to be initiated
Sounds like you are! Enjoy the journey, my man :)
Oi boss, me iz wantz ta see ya paint sum of dem boiz, not panzy like but real propah orky like! Sumfin that Gork n' Mork will truly be proud of! Mez like ta see ya paint em gubbins and whatzitzs and bitz and burny glowy stuff on dem burnas and shootaz! Iz be hopin' youz be makin' thiz orky vid-yow sinze iz gon be Orktober soon! Tankz and WAGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Hi guys, love the work! I look forward to your videos coming out, every one has been instrumental in improving my technique!
I would love to see a deep dive in to different organic skin. I know you've done human skin, fur and scales, but something like the patterning on a dinosaur or some other organic beast with interesting skin patterns (think the Dilophosaurus from Jurassic Park!)
Keep doing what you are doing guys!
Perhaps I'm in the minority, but Space Marines tend to be very much one texture.
So I'd like to see more fantasy models or other models with a variety of textures and how you can use drybrushing/stippling etc to enhance the textures of the model and create weathering effects, as well as some thoughts about paint schemes - this is where I often end up going either too drab or having my minis look like carnival rejects.
Thanks for the great content, I'm learning a lot (even if it seems I spend more time watching youtube vids on painting than actually painting!)
I would like to see what oil paints can do with a dry brush, longer working time could give incredibly smooth transitions.
I'd love to see a tutorial on how to do rocky/mountainous bases for models
Painting hair would be great!!
Would love to see you paint a squad of 5 minis just to see how you go about organising how you would paint one after the other to get a squad on the tabletop as fast as possible to a good standard, keep up the god work team.
Great tutorial! I have always edge highlighted stuff because that is how I was taught and my main armies have always seemed to have black as a main color scheme (Raven Guard) so it was just natural for me.
As to the question of what I'd like to see next, and forgive me if it has been done already I am fairly new to the channel, is a tutorial on weathering. Whether that be pigments, sponging, or anything else I feel that weathering is an amazing tool to take your models to the next level.
I'd love to see your take on a Hive Fleet Typhon Tyranid tutorial, Artis Opus style 🤩, it is a wonderfull scheme, probably the hardest to nail and I have a bunch of bugs to paint since the 10th ed. boxes launch. Vote 👍if you too like fancy bugs🐞
Well might as well take a stab at winning a competition! As someone who is fairly new to the hobby do you have any suggestions for things to practice on? GW minis can add up so maybe it would be nice to see some different minis being painted? Maybe DND ones? Would love to see more tutorials in general, some more on colour theory or mixing maybe? And some love for Warhammer fantasy (or any fantasy mins) too! Your blending video was excellent, I have an unpainted monolith that I will be trying it out on! Grats on the nearly 100k, totally deserve it! (on 99.9 right now!)
Suggestion: Help to choose your colors/scheme ?
When I paint minis I often run into the question of, which color do I paint this brain, eye, pouch, base, (insert part to paint) in order to either make it pop or go with the rest without necessarily being the same color. Or how to choose highlight/midtones/base tones colors combinations.
I remember it was touched on during the painting carapaces where you showed a color wheel for suggestions of the WOW factor color for the carapaces. I'd love a more in depth explanation of why some color combination look stunning while others feel like too much and a hot mess. Which would help a lot with overall scheme selection as well as giving coherency to a mini while still maintaining apparent complexity in colors.
Would love a recap on saturation, vibrancy, brightness and the jargon that appear in many painting videos as well.
Thanks for another amazing video! I love watching those longer formats, very relaxing and helps me a lot with my learning journey in the hobby! I resumed a year ago and super happy with my progression thanks to all the great ressources online :D
Love your content always! I'd really like to see a video covering how to pick and use complimentary/contrasting colors on a mini without them being too glaring or overwhelming... If that makes any sense
Suggestion: tips on how to paint regiment based units, i.e. lots of very small minis. How do you churn them all out reletively quickly while still looking good.
I have been painting my tau with a metallic paint scheme. Warm bronzes highlighted up to gold with non-metallic purple glazes in the shadows. I like the look, but when I tried some drybrushing to pick out the details, flecks of metallic end up spotting on the otherwise dark areas where they really stand out. I would love to hear/see any metallic specific tips for drybrushing, even if it is just "There are times where drybrushing isn't going to be best", or "be more careful".
With normal paints, it feels like drybushing works a better as the paint particles are so much smaller beyond the range your eye can see, but with the metalics, the metal flakes are big enough to be spotted. I am using vallejo's game air line, maybe there are other metallic paint likes that would work a little nicer, that could also be a handy video, seeing if there are certain paint lines that work better or worse for drybrushing.
I'll be honest I much prefer the 'roughness' of edge highlighting using dry brushing and I like to leave it 'dirty' instead of fixing the drybrushing especially when I use a silver highlight on black armour
Each to their own buddy, and some minis just 'ask' for a certain method, too :)
@@ArtisOpus not sure if my sisters were asking for it 😂 but I sure love the roughness of it on them
Getting motivation to hobby. I'm pretty sure a lot of hobbyists have this issue from time to time, definitely myself included so I'd love to get some advice or tips on how to get out of a hobby slump. Any small/quick wins or palette cleansers to get you back into the swing of things.
As always enjoying the content!
So my suggestion/the video I really want to see is something on how to practice without putting paint to actual models. I feel like I often have big ideas about painting a model, but have to figure things out while I'm already in the middle of the process. Help with planning and doing things with more intention to achieve that picture in my head would be very helpful.
Hey, Byron - I love your videos! You're miles better than me and yet you go at everything with such humility! I'd really like to see how one would handle drybrushing and drybrush stippling on models with lots of sharp pointy / sticky-out bits. I'm almost done putting together a team of Phobos Space Marines and there's a lot of antennaes and auspexes that I feel might really get in the way and I'm honestly terrified of getting started on painting them.
Since I’ve been watching your videos, I’ve realised I can do 90% of my edge highlights really quickly with a drybrushing and then finishing with a brush. I’ve been making a lot fewer mistakes, giving me a far cleaner look and saving masses of time.
