Inking/Glazing/Shading

1.  Pick a paint or ink that is darker than the base coat you are covering.

2.  Paint and Ink will need to be watered down significantly for Inking, unless you are trying to darken
the entire model in which case ink may not need to be watered down, but paint should be diluted a lot
to make sure the previous layer shows through to some extent.  Experiment to get the hang of this, as
it will give you many cool effects

3. Apply washes to the different parts of your model as required.

4. Allow to dry for at least 45 minutes before adding additional colors to ensure the ink doesn't mix
with new layers.


There is a technique called "the dip".  The dip is taking a base coated model and either dipping or
painting it completely in minwax.  "They" suggest the polyshades line.  It gives the entire model
shading and a hard coat.  If you physically dip it, make sure you use a brush to wipe away excess
pools that will build up.  I've never used this technique, but I guess it would be an easy way to paint
skeletons.  Most people think its a fine way to mess up a model.  Dip at your own risk.
