I was wondering whether if anyone had any advice about this? I wasn’t sure whether highlighting darker colours in this way is always a bit dicey, or alternatively whether more care has to be taken to ensure that the paint used for the highlights is only slightly lighter than the basecoat (relative to when using a lighter base coat).

If you drybrush a light colour over a brown that has a reddish tinge, or your drybrush colour itself has a reddish tinge, sometimes the drybrushing can come out looking a bit pinkish.

In general it's often a good idea to work your way up with drybrushes, drybrush some intermediate colours to build up the effect toward your lightest colour, rather than just going for your lightest colour over your darkest colour straight off.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/689843/8634375.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/689843/8634375.page GMT
