  • Tecnique my ass this foo is garbage

  • Brian Franc,You have to be the worlds most laughed at 'Pro SCRATCHER'.Put simply,YOU SUCK!

  • thats not a gray wash...its just a gray.

  • I experimented with mixing white and black for greywash when I first started (and didnt know any better) I guess its an artists preference but I think it looks like shit to do it that way... Its not greywash

  • Sorry, but I think his "instructions" are poor. For one, "graywash" refers to shades of diluted black, created by mixing Witch Hazel (my preference, antiseptic) or distilled water with it. This produces the effect of graphite pencil shades. He's just mixing them and it should've been a blend with colors - example: Dark violet to red to pink to flesh - instead of black which we normally graywash. Also, his outline is way too thick and cartoony. Just my opinions.

  • this is not greywashing. this is just mixing colors to make a grey color ha ha. you make grey wash by diluting black with diluted water, witch hazel or sometimes even by green soap.

  • lets see your work

  • nice vid these guys are morons ignore the negative feedback lol

  • thats not grey wash it true grey a color not a fucken wash

  • assholes. why dont you go back to watching coldplay videos.

    just tell the guy he needs to learn a little more before he goes youtube crazy.

    dude probably wanted to off himself after reading all this hateful shit.
