The Emperor’s Finest: Painting Techniques

November 2004·p. 82

THE SHORT VERSION

Five approaches to armour are compared through finished examples: opaque flat colour, sharp edge highlights, successive layers, ink shading and drybrushing. The guide relates each method to the underlying scheme and desired finish, explaining why a light ink-washed surface behaves differently from a dark suit picked out along its edges.
