Aerixis Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I've just found a quite nice way of highlighting black: 1: Undercoat mini black 2: Very carefully drybrush the areas/edges to highlight with grey 3: Go over those areas with another drybrush of white 4: The clever part, wash the whole model with asurmen blue, plates and all 5: I usually repeat the process here to give a richer tone to the plates and more of a blue sheen to the edge highlights. 6. Done! It's quick and quite effective but also subtle so not sure it looks as good as yours from a distance. :o Ironically thats what I do with my Ravenwing! Its a good technique, though I hardly ever drybrush anything but the colour technique is awesome!

Maxsterling Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Great tutorial. Would you mind adding a pic of the completed model when you are done with it? I'd like to see how the highlights look with everything else.
