The steps below show you how to produce a green field
with clumps of rough ground. 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.

section and learn how!
|
Start off with a drybrush of Scorched Brown over everything,
making sure to heavily drybrush the rocky areas. Once this dries,
heavily drybrush Dark Angels Green onto the grass areas only,
avoiding the rocky bits. It will help to have a separate brush
ready for each colour as you go. Things will move quicker and
the colours will keep better. |
|
Drybrush Snot Green on all the grassy areas and then use Dark
Flesh for the rough ground. Be careful not to be sloppy and
get green where you want brown! |
|
Moving along, drybrush with Goblin Green and Bestial Brown
onto their respective areas. |
|
Carefully drybrush the larger rocks with Bubonic Brown and
lightly drybrush the rough areas as well. Focus your attention
on a few rocks. The green areas are pretty much done with, so
go back and touch up any sloppy painting now. |
|
To finish, use a mix of Bleached Bone and a tinge of Bubonic
Brown to highlight a few of the more interesting rocks. Also,
if you wish, very lightly drybrush Bleached Bone on the green
areas. At this point, you can consider yourself 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: Various greens could be used for
different grass effects, and some of the rocks could be picked out
with a separate colour like Codex Grey for example. Also, you could
just paint the rocky areas using the Coarse
Ash Plain colour scheme.
