OK so here is some more of my Darkside..(I really live a normal life guys!!...Honest!!!) I just love Horror Movies, Halloween, and things that freak people out 
......So here are two Horizon vinyl kits I built awhile back and placed on a base together in a "Freddy vs Jason" pose.
I thought with all the release of the Hawk kits with all their figures that these would be good way to show some dry-brushing. These two figures were entirely painted by hand using washes and dry-brushing. The only spray used was a base of black automotive rattle can primer.
You just basically start with your darkest color first and work you way out to the lightest color. Just use a cheap or old brush. (don't use an expensive brush because you are going to kill it or ruin it) I use the craft paint in the squeeze tubes at wally world called apple barrel colors. This stuff is an acrylic water base paint and the stuff only cost like 77 cents a tube!!! For the most part I use the flat colors. I clear anything that needs to be shiney. Just dip your brush lightly into the paint and then use a sheet of paper or cardboard and brush you paint brush back and forth until hardly and paint shows. Now in a swift motion back and forth go over your parts hitting the high spots and repeat this for every color you use.
