Drybrushing is putting paint on your brush, wiping most of it off on a rag or paper towel, and then putting the brush to the model. The paint will stick on raised detail but not in deeper areas (if you’re doing it right), allowing you to highlight that detail or to make it look like dirt got stuck on it, paint rubbed off, and so on. It’s usually best to do this with a flat rather than a round brush, as it will be easier to do and not as hard on the brush.

Just try it on some spare parts or a model you don’t mind ruining
