Drybrushing is not that difficult. Here the most important thing to know is: less is more.
The easiest and most used way is (example for shades of grey):
1. Start with a dark base coat and wait untill it dried completely.
2. Mix a dark grey from black and white color. Then take just a little bit of paint on your brush and wipe away most of it with a "paper towel" (I donīt know the English word for the stuff you use in the kitchen). Then brush over an old piece of paper until there is nearly no color left on your brush. Now itīs time to drybrush by brushing over your piece of terrain with just a little bit of pressure. You should move your brush over it quickly and you better repeat this several times than trying to paint your terrain with just a few strokes. As I said before: Less is more. That means less paint on your brush brings better results - even if you have to repeat the brushing more often.
3. Repeat step 2 with a lighter grey
4. Repeat step 2 with an even lighter grey - nearly white
That is basic drybrushing. There are a few more techniques but this will bring some nice basic results.
