Welcome back to the Game Face Nation Studio Workshop!

Today we're talking about using layering to highlight your black miniatures. If it's armor, clothing, or chitin layering your highlights will get the job done. This technique can be used for an entire army but it can be quite time consuming for large groups of troops, If you're not familiar with the technique check out our video teaching how to layer: http://tinyurl.com/l3ys4nc. Even though it might take a bit longer than hardlining, the results of layering are always quality.
This technique starts with a black basecoat on your miniature. Start with a dark gray and layer it on the areas you want highlighted but leave at least 50% of the black remaining. Next use a lighter gray and layer that over the first gray leaving at least 30% of the first layer visible. Keep doing this with successive layers of lighter gray until you either run out of room on the area to highlight or you are happy with the brightness of your highlights.
