whats wrong with rolling ya brush on ya tongue?

@darrinscott6612 Год назад

It seems like 90% of the blossoming painters I talk to have difficulty comprehending the idea that it is possible to paint without buying a specific set of citadel paints and following a formula that GW has bottled and sold to them. I can't count how many times I've had to explain that mentality holds you back. Once you've got the basics down, you should stop trying to treat painting like baking; instead of thinking about recipe, think about theory and technique. There are great videos out there on theory behind highlighting and color composition. Moreover, GW isn't even the best paint brand. There are so many other great ones out there for a fraction of the price (pro acryl, vallejo, AK interactive 3rd gen acrylics).

@seananderson2195 Год назад

Honestly this is something I’m trying to improve about my painting. Getting away from the “recipe card” mentality and just experimenting or learning to understand theory. One day…one day

@patrik3450 Год назад

Tried my first citadel paint today. I fucking hate it and I’m new. Vallejo and army painter is easier to open and use, it’s easier to paint with. I just want tabletop standard and get into games. I’ll do a little work here and there on miniatures. But it’ll take me years to become good. People need to chill, can’t all be gods at painting

@homelessperson5455 Год назад

Ok, but just know u can also bake without recipe and just using theory and technique

@djvertical Год назад

That’s easy to say, but for me, I don’t have a choice. GW is literally the only place I can go and physically buy paints. I hate GW too! I can buy stuff online, but I have to wait 2-5 days, then I get it, and it’s not quite the right colour etc, it’s supper annoying. Wish I had a proper hobby shop near me that stocked the paint brands I want. 😢

@darrinscott6612 Год назад

@@djvertical I only buy my paints online. It works for me. If you constantly find that the colors you're buying aren't exactly what you want, then one of two thing is occurring: 1) your monitor isn't calibrated correctly. 2) You're still in the 'recipe' headspace where you're trying to exactly match a formula someone has created for you. Both are things I would try to amend. Instead of trying to buy a specific set of colors and follow the formula, it's better to build a collection of colors that you like to work with. If a color isn't an exact match for one project, it will be useful later. Besides, mixing colors is also an important skill.

@spacedock873 Год назад

Perfection is the enemy of good. Thanks to you and Vincie V I've learnt to be comfortable with my noob skillset and limitations rather than getting frustrated with my inability to paint really well. At this point all projects are learning exercises! 👍😁

@maxmagnus377 Год назад

Honestly, probably the aspect that I love the most about the hobby, that it's a never ending learning experience. I've been collecting and painting for over 20 years (with some massive multiple year long breaks in between) and I am by *no means* a "great" painter, but still, after all this time, each and every project is a learning experience. I recently started a Horus Heresy Alpha Legion army, and wanted to try my hand at using Akhelian Green Contrast over a silver basecoat. The first 20 marines look different to the latter 20, as I improved my process while learning how to use the new tool. I figured out that my workflow for small marines did not work at all on a big tank. I had like 7 or 8 test runs before I got that Spartan Land Raider even close to "right" but it does not matter in the end. I can look at my army coming together and see the progress I made over the course of the project and to me, that is actually even more awesome than a "perfectly painted" army. Having said that, painting contrast on a mini as big as that tank with a brush did make me ache for finally owning an airbrush xD

@spacedock873 Год назад

@@maxmagnus377 I've got 5 airbrushes if different makes and qualities. They are not the panacea that they are often portrayed to be! Each has their own quirks and airbrushing in general is fraught with issues (tip drying, spider-webbing, cleaning the airbrush, wearing masks etc ..)

@MechMK1 Год назад

The best possible advice I can give is related to nr 3: "Finish more miniatures." At some point, say "This is good enough" and actually finish your project, and feel proud of what you did.

@Numfuddle Год назад

The part about „their vision doesn’t match up to their skill level“ is one of the hardest thing to overcome, at least for me. It’s not really about perfectionism really, I‘d put it into a different category. It’s the most frustrating part of any hobby when you know exactly how you want something to look when it’s finished but your competency is nowhere near to achieving that end result and you don’t know when - if ever - you’ll get to where you can actually create the thing that is already in your mind. Letting go of that and stepping back to where you can enjoy your hobby again can be really hard

@jorel80 Год назад

I paint just for fun, dont do whole armies, so one of the hardest things for me is choosing a model that is cool enough to be fun but still within my ability to paint it in a way that is satisfactory. Ive definetly gotten in over my head with minis that were too challenging for my skill level.

@doobiousd5020 Год назад

Very similar to music in that sense.

@4watchingvids Год назад

I have this same problem... it's helped me to remind myself that these models are all living in the grim dark and have seen some shit. Of course they're going to be messed up or stained or "repainted" etc. Also when you look at them on the table, you'll never notice detail or not.

@stevenx2523 Год назад

I'm one of the people that's avoided the hobby for years because of a lack of confidence in my skills, but recently I've fallen in deep with Blood Bowl and have finally dived in. Going to try painting my first minis soon. I really hope I find it fun even if I am sure my efforts are going to be pretty amateurish.

@WouterBosch-j9w 11 месяцев назад

@antongunther3977 Год назад

for gear: reaper paint starter set - $40. Has the basic paints you need and a few minis to get you started. Includes brushes and a guide. some random plastic box, paper towel, and some parchment paper (wet pallete) - maybe 5 bucks total. Brush soap - 10 bucks. Good natural hair brush - only buy one size 1 or 2 brush and use it for normal paints. Never use it for metallics or effect paints or oils (use the synthetic brushes you got in the reaper starter set). This set up is all you really need to get started. Any other gear, just get over time as you get better. Think of it as leveling up and getting new skills. You've mastered base coating and coloring within the lines - that's a level up. You can now buy a wash (or make your own) and try to master layering and shading. Once you master that you can try NMM or OSL and buy gear that would help you with those effects.

@chaoticgood6439 Год назад

i have begun painting 3 years ago, and being myself the most problematic part for me was point 8. the perfectionist part. i can spend hours over single mini tweaking a single stroke here or there, but still the result was underwhelming. eventually, over few dozen miniatures i have learnt to stop myself saying "its fine, you can be done with it, its satisfying result, go to the next bro"

@Brimfarm Год назад

Late reply to this but same here, I practically burnt out after afew months because of this mindset and once I finally got them on the table to play I was surprised by how much I actually liked them, it always looks imperfect, but it’s those imperfections that make you love them all the more

@Hinarcia 5 месяцев назад

I think it's also part of the you know how it's done so the magic is away. I usually put it away for a while and get a look later and really loving it. But it's still hard for me to trust the proces. Sometimes I think why do I even start. There are better people then me. And then remind myself practice makes perfect and just when you are done with it and look at it and just be proud at it. You will get better.

@lukemcevoy2385 Год назад

I used to win prizes for my citadel orcs... Way back in the 80s. Even won a trip to the GW in Nottingham! Having spent most of this afternoon watching these videos... I might take up the hobby again, especially now there are so many experienced painters on YT.

Fantastic video Simon, some great tips in here! And some good reminders too, I'm guilty of not progressing due to perfectionism 😅

@ovan2190 Год назад

Worked through one or two of these problems recently, I had used a burgundy over white and it was to bright, I was going reprime and start over but I tried a more redish burgundy then used a dark watered-down red over that and it gave me a nice burnt red color that I became very happy with. It wasn't what I wanted in the beginning but I'm happy I stuck with it and tried a different idea instead of starting over.

@lukaskubik4698 Год назад

One of the most important things that let me improve is that I don't need to paint my minis to look like the ones in the books or on the boxes. I can paint them so that I enjoy painting them and then enjoy the way they look.

@jordancundiff1433 9 месяцев назад

i'm a new painter with less a month of experience and only a handful of basic paints (I got suckered into the citadel starter paint kit) and after hundreds of videos of this paint is bad and this method is terrible and if you're not doing this you're trash. Honestly none of that is true. While it may be good to have pots of paint that match each color you shoot for as long as you kind of work in an assembly line with a good amount of those colors prepared it will be ok. Paint is expensive, expensive brushes when you start aren't good if you dont know how to take care of them, elitists and gatekeepers are the devil. Seek out folks who are good painters and ask for feedback and never shy away from doing a paint scheme or some completely unhinged idea that you think will look cool. At the end of the day its a hobby for enjoyment and shouldn't become a begrudging chore that you must complete. If all you can do is a nice even base coat and some other colors great! When its time to move forward with your skill you will know. Also just give the harder things a try for fun. after all its just paint.

@1die204 Год назад

Thoughts on your points: 1) I am a huge advocate for never forgetting the basics. No only in the begining, but also later in your career. I still find a purpose for washes and "slapchop" even though. 2) I always fail to look at pictures before start painting. Then I look at pictures and have to start all over. 3) I have gotten myself in a predicament where I accepted a HUGE MASSIVE project. Then I continue to want to paint for others so I look for more opportunities. I get sad because I put off projects that I have promised others for new projects and that is not good for anyone :( 4) Art is an opportunity to experiment so much. I love it when I decide to challenge myself to use a new technique. As you said...I use art as a chance to teach others that any mistake in life can be fixed. You might have to start over, but you never start from scratch. You have knowledge of what didn't work. 5) yeah....I struggle with this (see #2) It sets me back a lot. 6) I semi-agree with you on this. In the end it does come down to skill. However sometimes I think that needing better tools can be the one thing that is keeping someone from growing. That being said, you don't need the best of the best out there. You just need decent. 7/8) You can grow so much faster by doing 100 models and working on a better model than doing 10 model to perfection. 8) What people think go into a decent model is much less than others think. a quick and even semi-sloppy base coat with a wash can look so amazing to an untrained eye. 8 bonus ) In everything in life, I follow this mantra: "Do things today to be better tomorrow, than you were yesterday. 9) Hurrying to paint a next layer has set me back sooooo much :( 10) There is no such thing as hard. If something feels hard, it just means you have a chance to grow. If things are too easy then it likely means you are depreciating. Do not give up. Look for ways to grow, even if its just a little.

Most will be happy to help, offer advice or even explain how they got a colour/effect themselves if you ask.

@Urikanu Год назад

Miniatures painting is -often- a solitary hobby. But I know many, many people who enjoy painting together, have clubs for painting together, paint with their spouse/SO/Roommate/etc or even go down to their FLG to paint. Painting minis can be a very fun, social hobby. Not that that in any way invalidates your point about seeking help to get past plateus :)

@eviljagtech Год назад

Has an older person getting back into the hobby one tool I can't live without is a large magnifier on a stand. Even with my bifocals small mini's can be hard to see with tired eyes and is your painting is giving you a headache it might be eye strain. I would recommend a higher quality one from a sewing shop as the cheaper Amazon ones have poor focal areas.

@darianwright9488 Год назад

I feel like this video couldn’t have been posted at a better time. I know it’s just a general tip video, but the comments on perfectionism hit a nerve in me that really made me think. I’ve recently started trying to paint my age of Sigmar army again and I had (and still have) plans to paint these models to the best of my ability. And while everyone around me was saying they looked good, in my eyes they looked god awful, but you’re right in this video. When is it enough? Even I don’t know, and I’m afraid if I keep adding and removing paint over and over it’ll just cause an expensive mess. Who cares about perfect. The people I’m going to play with think the models look fine. People I’ve played games with using bottle caps instead of troops. And hey, at least a learned something that I wouldn’t have if I just trashed the models midway for not being perfect. Anyways, sorry for the rant. Just seemed like ironic timing. Great videos as always, man, keep it up. Always love seeing new posts by you.

@jorel80 Год назад

I've been painting minis since 1991 as a casual hobby, never did get into wargaming. I prefer to take my time and enjoy the process of bringing that piece of plastic (or pewter, hehe) to life one layer at a time. bottom line is if you are enjoying your hobby time then you're doing it right. I have far more half finished models than completed ones but they were all enjoyable. Cheers!

@Primal2229 Год назад

Since it was the thumbnail, making a pot holder that is STABLE and will not tip over is a good idea as well. I made a stupidly simple wire frame from curtain a hook. Bottom prongs bent around to make a base with a pair of magnets glued on, since my work surface is metal. Another set of prongs bent to hold the pot in place, with another clipped and bent to hold the lid open. The shades cost 10$ CAD so spilling it once is rage inducing enough that spending several hours making a perfect pot holder is worth it.

@oliverp3545 Год назад

Recently been branching out by no longer just either mixing black/white with paints or mixing different colours, but doing both, it's a more advanced skill I don't think people talk about enough, but it feels so liberating compared to people I see who only use paints from bottles without any mixing.

@maxmagnus377 Год назад

While I love mixing my own colours, for me that really only works on small projects that I know will be finished over the course of a few days or weeks. At some point I had a scheme for my eldar with a certain mix of paints, and months or years down the line I could never quite remember how I mixed up the original colour.

@oliverp3545 Год назад

@Max Magnus yeah there is that, but at the same time there is a whole world out there once you're willing to go past just the colours you've brought, which is a real novice trap I've seen. Like not to take digs at people but when you buy two of pretty much the same colour except one has a bit ot white added, that's not a good use of your hobby funds when that one with white is just being used for edge highlighting or the like.

@edwardsexby3402 Год назад

I've been paining minis since September 2019, and have been building model aircraft and A.F.V.s since 2008. I'm still using my same Revell sprue side cutters, knife and tweezers from the basic cheap set I bought back then, for a princely £7. Now, I have an incomplete Wargames Atlantic skeleton set on my workbench that I ditched in favour of a quick build aircraft kit project that I'm just done with, so don't listen to ME...but, great advice here. I'd add: 1) Get cheap tools to start off with. I still use Emery (Nail) boards as files, cocktail sticks and cheap makeup brushes for weathering. 2) Do you need an airbrush? I don't own one. I use rattle cans from Halfords (car and bike maintenance chain here in the U.K.) for primer (grey, white or matt black) and Zendhari Dust for base coating bone, but that's it. I made a spraying booth out of an old cardboard packing case and keep it in the shed. That's the extent of my spraying, but it does the trick. 3) Do some fairly simple schemes to start. My first ever mini's were the old cheap 5-figure skeleton box from G.W., followed by the Nighthaunt Glaive Wraith push fit beginner's box. I find that 5 is the usual limit for my batch painting, but you may be able to do more. After that I tackled one of the Gripping Beast Viking sets, one sprue at a time. Built my confidence up no end, although they look...basic now. 4) Take your time, have fun, push yourself, but always have an established favourite to go back to, in order to get your mojo back. Skeletons for me. 5) Lastly, get a few washes and use them. Nuln Oil is talent in a bottle. I'm not a master, but I'm improving. Have fun, and do it for yourself, not others. Cheers, all!

@johncasey4623 Год назад

So just start about 8 months ago. At first I was very intimidated after all you watch tutorials and see beautiful pieces. I picked a simple arm ultra marines. Don't judge me. But ever squad I tried new techniques and try to improve. You can tell my first squad but I am happy and getting better every weekend.

One issue I have is being color blind. I don’t really understand colors and highlights. I’m working on it but I find myself doing simpler paint schemes like deathwatch.

@TheGoldenDragon_ Год назад

I'm guilty of #2. I don't seek help and just try to figure stuff out on my own, watching vids and reading tons of shit about painting. Also, I don't show anyone my progress, I don't post pics of my minis. Lastly, I'm never finishing anything, but 1 Primaris Lieutenant. A year and a few months into the hobby and I've only completed 1 mini and I just completed it about a month and a half ago.

@maxmagnus377 Год назад

Keep at it! As long as you enjoy your time spent it's okay not to finish all your projects. Do you perhaps have a gamestore nearby where you could ask to paint every once in a while? If you do, and it's a somewhat active one, I'm certain there will be people there who have tips or pointers, would be excited to see you work and even more so what the finished result is. A little encouragement can go such a long way.

@TheGoldenDragon_ Год назад

@@maxmagnus377 I will for sure. I don't have a local game store (my town is very small in the country) but I try to show my stuff now and then. My wife mostly, lol. My problem is I'm very shy about my work. I never feel good enough to show it, but at the same time I'm not hung up about my current skill level. Problem is, showing it is how ppl see it and give you tips to get better, so a catch 22 for me.

I don't share my pictures online after people on Reddit screaming "thin your paints" at me even though I do the trying to explain my problem isn't thinning the paints, it's simply the ratio of thinning and the fact that Dyscalculia and having an unsteady painting hand that I prefer not to share my finished models, that and I'm not good at taking pictures.

@UntiltedName Год назад

On one of those final points, the notion of speed painting is misguided anyways. Strive for efficiency, not speed. Speed leads to mistakes. Efficiency saves you time without making you feel rushed. Efficiency is planning the paint job ahead of time and ordering the steps in a way that reduces backtracking and unnecessary steps.

@Zumikito 9 месяцев назад

In that case just start painting and troubleshoot when you are stuck, much better than trying to absorb everything at once - and of course, enjoy the journey :) Cheers

Thnks for the hints, those help, its for sure not an easy hobby to learn, but it can be fun to make mistakes as well sometimes! AlsoI think the Nurgle Plushie on your shelf secretly sips your paints. :O

@angelsoffurtitude Год назад

i haven't had luck with asking other people for help, feedback or critique all the time it's just "thin your paints", nothing but "thin your paints" and i thin my paints and i never get an answer to my question.

@rodrodelcid6111 8 месяцев назад

to me at least looks rough, because i want to jump straight away into the hobby, but for me is kinda expensive, for that reason is dificult because i want to maximize all the materials, you progress when you improve doing a lot this, but i dont wanna purchase a lot of minis, only a few, but i want to look great...
