That's a classic example of my Bigass Brushâ„¢ Technique ;) I used a 1" house-painting brush from a hardware store, and just laid down a heavy coat of Mechanicus Standard Grey, an overbrushing of Dawnstone, and then a very light drybrushing of Administratum Grey.<br /><br />The first coat is laid on pretty much from every direction for maximum coverage, but the other two are done entirely with downward strokes to get some simple vertex highlighting. The huge brush maintains contact with big chunks of the Model, so it tends to spread the highlights a bit differently than if you do it with a more normally-sized brush.<br /><br />Fun Fact: I was also considering One Inch Brush as a title for the blog before I settled on Cascadian Grimdark ;)WestRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12877289116827690457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-77589732004146892752016-06-06T18:56:41.612+01:002016-06-06T18:56:41.612+01:00Thanks!
