Metallic Medium

[absolutrudy]

I just purchased a bottle of VMC Metallic Medium and I was wondering if this can be used to help highlight metallics? Any help would be great. Thanks.

I know it\'s kind of a naughty work on this site but I have found that drybrushing can give some real nice results with metallics.

add the metalic medium into the mix for the last highlights to add those spots of glare.

it\'s just like adding the spots of glare with white for nmm techniques.

I use this stuff all the damn time. It works great for lightening any of the metallics without making them look weird like just adding plain white will do.

And generulpoleaxe\'s suggestion of doing \"NMM-style\" techniques for your metals is a good one. I follow that, and I\'ve been very pleased with the results. Now if I could just get pleased with a new digital camera...
