In this video I will teach you the fundamentals of drybrushing your custom action figures.
We start with essential color theory—explaining why you must build your layers progression-style from dark to light—and highlight the exact brushes needed to avoid harsh, scratchy brush marks.
Then, we jump into 3 real-world application examples:
1. Hair – Bringing out fine strand definition and natural highlights
2. Fabric & Cloth – Creating soft, realistic contrasts on garments
3. Robot & Armor Parts – Achieving light metallic weathering and battle-worn edges
Whether you custom Transformers, Star Wars, Marvel Legends, or MOTU, mastering these drybrushing fundamentals will instantly elevate the quality of your workbench projects.
