What is the best kind of brush to use when drybrushing? soft? hard? nylon? long? short? round? flat? any opinions?

 

My personal preference,
Length: Short
Stiffness: Medium
Brush type: Squarehead

 

I saw jin's tutorial, he said that old stiff brushes are best. got to try it.

 

Any brush works. Each stiffness, type, and length coupled with paint amount gives different effects so play around with a bunch and see what effect you like best.

 

My recommendations:

1. Work with what you have.
2. It seems that Tony and I see eye to eye on this topic.
3. See also my response to plowking's question on painting with brushes: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/featured-radicons/214854-november-featured-radicon-superquad7.html
