Welcome back to the Studio Workshop!

Using a pencil to add weathering effects to your miniatures is a simple and easy way to enhance the look of your minis. Use the pencil to add chipping effects, scratch marks, or spots of worn away paint.

The best kind of pencil to use is one with soft lead. In general terms that means a standard No. 2 pencil. In artist terms you want a pencil with lead that is rated between HB and 8B. Hard leads will most likely tear or literally scratch away the paint on your miniatures. Come to think of it, that might be kind of cool. I'll have to do some experimenting to see what that might look like.

Nice tips, I found these in the Forge World Masterclass book I borrowed from a friend, but it's always good to see it in action and pick up techniques.

Looks great! How does the graphite hold up under a clear coat?
