What is pre-shading?
Pre-shading is an advanced painting technique used by modellers to give their models depth.
It involves painting parts of a model with a dark colour to represent shade. Pre-shading is applied after the primer but before the top coat.
In addition to creating shadows or shaded areas, some modellers use pre-shading on their panel lines to give them a 3D effect.
Pre-shading is best applied using an airbrush to achieve a soft transition between shaded and non-shaded areas.
