Cool video, and good job clearly showing how drybrushing is supposed to work. I also really like how you come across as wanting to help people improve their technique. Great stuff!
I find it funny that people are really that stuck up about drybrushing. I mean either the paintjob looks good or it doesn't, why should it matter how you achieve it? It's just another way of moving paint particles around.

That's just it, most of the time drybrushing doesn't look good because people don't remove enough of the paint from the brush before starting to drybrush. That results in a really streaky paintjob that looks like crud. If people would start removing more of the paint from the brush then it wouldn't look so bad and it wouldn't have a bad(ish) name. Also, too many people try to use dry brushing on details that are simply too shallow for the technique to work well on without leaving streaks.
