Following the steps below will produce a dry barren desert. Keep in mind that between the drybrushing stages, it is helpful to just keep the colour you currently have on your brush and dip into the next colour. This helps blend the two colours of paint in a natural fashion while you drybrush. However, you don't want to do so if the two colours are radically different. If you have no clue how to make this texture, visit the basics section and learn how!

	To start things off, heavily drybrush Scorched Brown over the entire area. This will give the piece an earthy undertone.
	Next, heavily drybrush Dark Flesh over the area. Heavy means to have a decent amount of paint on your brush.
	Continuing on, use Bestial Brown next. You will begin to see some results at this point as you drybrush. Again, use a heavy hand at this stage.

	Using Bubonic Brown, drybrush the area pretty thoroughly. Try to lay the paint down in an even manner.
	Next, use Bleached Bone to apply another heavy coat of even drybrushing. You'll begin to see the desert effect come to life at this point.
	To finish things off, apply a fresh coat of Skull White. Drybrush lightly and thoroughly for the best effect. You will now have a finished desert texture.

Options: You could add a few plastic Skeleton bitz and skulls to enhance the arid feel of a lifeless desert. Also, you could place some small patches of dried-up, brownish static grass or even use lush green static grass to simulate the edge of an oasis.
