Hells_Clown Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Man getting back in the saddle sucks. Can anyone give me some advice on how to paint feathers? So far they're coming out dusty looking, not quite what I had hoped for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldarchy Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 HC, I haven't done TOO much painting of feathers but I've done some recently. Here's what I've found: Dry brushing is great for some pieces but you have to do light layers of dry brushing and your not going to get the model looking better than table top in most cases. The nice one's I've done, I've painted the feather by hand, segment by segment. It's a long process and annoying but it looks really good when done right. You may need to use glazes/light washes to put some dark pigment back in to break up some of the space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
