In this part of the tutorial we finish the painting of the dagger and we add the handle details which include the wrapping and the fur.

Part 1 of this tutorial is here

Here are the three colors we are going to use: Dark Gree, Silver and Black.

And a kitchen sponge.

Dab on the dark green. Give it a nice spackled look.

Then dab on silver. And focus more of the silver on the inner beveled edges of the dagger.

And finish off the painting with a small brush and some detail work. Here is how it looks.

Now finish it off with some dry-brushing. THis is the technique where you put some paint on the brush then dab most of it off onto a scrap of paper. Then lightly brush over the surface of the dagger. What happens is that only a light amount of paint is applied to the high points of the foam. We use silver paint for this.

Let's continue, and finish it by wrapping the handle
