The brush I'm currently using for drybrushing has pretty soft hairs and a tip that is about 2/3 of an inch long. I get the paint off using an old T-shirt, and then lightly brush over the model with quick strokes. Is there anything I'm doing wrong, and if so, what is it? Also, is there anything else I should know about drybrushing?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571024/6391866.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571024/6391866.page GMT Drybrushing Questions

I find having more control on the drybrush with a not too long-bristled flat, rather stiff brush. Then I'd suggest unloading the brush from excess paint on a paper towel until it seems almost clean. Then you build colour by "dusting" the area you wish to drybrush. If the result seems faint, simply keep drybrushing.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571024/6392072.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571024/6392072.page GMT Drybrushing Questions
Kerryathyr's advice is very good as well.

best of luck, and let us know how it turns out!

I also like a stiffer brush for drybrushing. I might be in the minority, too, but I don't like to thin my paints when I drybrush.

Thinning paints for drybrushing is counterproductive, so you're certainly not alone in that. As for brushes, an argument can be made for both dense, soft brushes (i.e. makeup brushes) and springy synthetic fans, but short and stiff-bristled brushes are generally the order of the day.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571024/6395139.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571024/6395139.page GMT Drybrushing Questions
also, similar to what oadie and others have said, but you want your paint a bit thicker as well, if too wet/thin its not easy to keep them "dry" on the brush.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571024/6395235.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571024/6395235.page GMT
