The steps below show you how to produce an earthy,
dirt plain. 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, drybrush Scorched Brown over the entire
area. This will give the piece a good, 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. |
|
Using Bubonic Brown, drybrush the area pretty thoroughly,
though it will help the overall effect if you concentrate on
certain areas and leave some areas alone. This will help distribute
the colour so it doesn't look too even and artificial. |
|
Finally grab Bleached Bone and lightly drybrush a few areas
selectively. At this point, you can consider everything done. |
|
As an interesting option, use some sort of static grass. There
are tons of different colours out there, just find one you like
and use it. Applying static grass is a simple matter of spreading
some glue in the desired area and then sprinkling static grass
on the spot. When placed in strategic patches here and there,
the end result makes for realistic terrain. |
Other Ideas: To create a darker earth tone,
just ignore the Bubonic Brown and Bleached Bone stages. Instead,
mix Bubonic Brown and Bestial Brown together for a final highlight.
