Drybrushing does not leave an even surface, I find the key to good
highlights is patience and subtlety, I have just finished painted the WHFB
Ork shaman Nazgob, and his face (one of the nicest ever) has a base coat,
wash and then about 15 shades of highlightin in various layers, and he was
painted over the space of 12 hours (His face taking three)

Drybrushed flesh looks leprous, flesh is one area that needs to be smooth,
and drybrushing won't accomplis that.

So do I, I find the lack of size of the models and the serious releif of
the detail is ideal for DBing. Also the miniatures themselves suit
drybrushing, except eldar, for eldar, only edge highlighting gives them
the ultra high gloss look that the pansies deserve.
