The model was primed white. It was base coated with Averland Sunset, then washed with Casandora Yellow. The highlights were done with Yriel Yellow then drybrushed with Hexos Palesun followed with a Lamenters Yellow glaze. Is this not that bad, or did I miss something? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499699/5162948.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499699/5162948.page GMT


What you should be noticing is that every point where yellow armor meets another yellow armor plate, there is a black line separating them. This is how cartoons are done. You need to do this to your model as well. The brownish tone you are using doesn't provide enough contrast. It's fine for general shading but not for deep recesses or creases.

Here are a couple of pics of actual models to show you what I mean.





Alternately, you can go with a strong brown instead of a black if you choose. It just needs to be much darker than what you're using. It also needs to be a line instead of a more broadly washed area.



Once you get your lining in done correctly, you can begin working on your shading and highlight technique. Here is a more cartoonish example of shading and highlighting but it should give you an idea of what can be done with either wet blending or by underloading your brush (like drybrushing).



Hope this helps.

Caveat to this is that I have not tried it with the current GW sepia, only the old Gryphone sepia so YMMV, but it works really well, check my gallery for examples.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499699/5164025.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/499699/5164025.page GMT
