We used to have an awesome guide on painting realistic blue jeans on the site, I checked the wiki and couldnt find it... anyone have it? |

I don't have the official guide, but how I do it is to lay down a coat of medium blue, then do a wash of either dark blue or black, then a heavy dry-brush of light blue, then an optional very light dry-brush of white. |

do you leave it rough as to let it look textured? or does the dry brushing just make it look that way? |

On your first coat, try to keep all your brush strokes going in the same direction. Pick a diagonal and stick with it so that when you dry brush your lighter color on top, it'll give the look of the weave on blue jeans. |

I've done both the light colored drybrush over a darker base, and the wash over the light base. I preffer the wash technique for light faded denim, and the drybrushing for darker denim, with just a little wear on it. BTW, best old faded denim color I've found is Model Master acryl RAF Sky Type. It's pretty pale, but not a pure blue. It's got a very slight tan-ish cast to it, that really reminds me of old denim. |
