OK.. this may seems a basic question but I still have doubts. I'm aware of Drybrush basic technique. What I'm wonder is... if I'm aplying it in a camouflage what base color should I use? I mean, if a vehicle is all green, I would use the base color mexied with some white... but what if there are 3 diferent colours ?

you would use each color lightened slightly on its own base color i'd think. I don't think drybrushing would look that good if you had a 3 tone camo and then drybrushed it all one color.


and here is a quick tip.. you don't always have to lighten it with white...

I use the rule that when I drybrush I am trying to get a slightly different lighter color than my base coat..

an example is for some things such as olive drab . i'll add a bit of a light grey..
