Tips & Techniques:Drybrushing: I drybrush all of my highlights unless otherwise mentioned. The brush must be dry. When Drybrushing, I load my paint from a dry surface, not a wet palette as the moisture will get into the brush and make the paint go on smudgy. I also keep an old towel handy; it is great for cleaning the brush between colors.To start, load the brush by tipping it into the fi rst color, blend out on palette paper then wipe and excess paint off on a paper towel. Lightly scrub the surface to apply the color. Use the brush on 1

its side and scrub side to side or up and down. Start soft then press harder depending how much color you need. The harder you press, the more color you will get. The fi rst drybrush coat should allow some of the background to still show through, additional colors should cover less area that the fi rst coat.Clean the brush as best you can on your old towel, then pick up the next color. Apply in the same manner using less. Float / Shade: I always fl oat my color with the angular shaders. Mop to soften with a Mop. I shade around my design elements before basecoating; I like the softer look I get when I do this. Unless other wise indicated, I shade around the entire shape and deepen in corners and under design elements for more depth.Line: Unless otherwise stated, all lining is done with the #10/0 Liner and the paint watered down to an ink-like consistency.
