| as to where to dry brush and should you go lighter of darker then think about the item you are modelling....
eg for brake parts you may wish to go a bit darker to represent road grime and the build up of brake dust.... or maybe you have some footpegs on a motorbike that are painted in a dark colour, through wear and tear that painted surface has worn away exposing raw metal below, so i recommend going lighter here...
- study the item you are painting and go with your own research.... dry brush where it exists on the real item you are modelling, dont dry brush everywhere because you 'think' that the model needs it.... less is more !
also use dry brushing to pick out the places dirt and grime would build up, tyres, , panel joiints, also use it to apply a fine layer of say rust on an older / weathered model,
practice first, dont spoil a great model as you perfect your technique- it takes time but is well worth it- good luck
