I love how this is basically a summary of your greatest hits/tips. Every RU-vid painter should do this every year or so.

@Fughley 8 месяцев назад

Happy anniversary Team Mev. The color class was very insightful with the CMYK wheel. Hope that you keep sharing your vast storehouse of applied knowledge.

Thank you for showing all the steps that you take....this way how you showed it will help me to improve my painting... you are a gold for this community! 😊

Woah, the end results are awesome!! Also thank you for the tip on dragging the brush is a single direction, I’ve been having all sorts of annoyances with inconsistent coats and this explains why! Thanks again.

@jaysonstewart3537 8 месяцев назад

Great video. I would also add, one can add a drybrushed highlight a mini after painting on their slap chop layer if they want to push their paint job a bit more. Thanks for the content!

I love how far these techniques have evolved. My pop palette is amazing for metallic paints too

@FranzBazar 8 месяцев назад

Wonderful results. And I'm really glad you had that bit about some of the "basics" like painting down in one stroke towards to darker parts. It's that kind of small detail that really makes a difference for us beginners.

@geoffgodofbiscuits 5 месяцев назад

Agreed! I had been tinkering with speed paints and had tremendous success with small things like leather details but got frustrated every time I tried to apply it to skin or large areas. Thank you for including tips on brush technique and showing detail about the skin weirdness that can happen. This was exactly the sort of information I wasn't finding in other speed paint tutorials.

@jeremywilliams2185 Месяц назад

Agreed! Going over the basics helped me grasp some things about painting I didn't quite realize would have the effect they do. Thank you very much!

@tightning 8 месяцев назад

Great breakdown, I especially like the shift to using colours as the drybrushing step, rather than the pure black/white monochrome that is often recommended

@Lamefoureyes 8 месяцев назад

Lylaaa! Your video about a drybrushing tray gave me an idea. I took bits of sprue and glued them to the inside of the lid of my wet pallet. Then, I primed the pallet in a couple of coats to protect it against moisture. Now whenever I paint, I can use the inside of the lid of my pallet to wipe of excess paint. There is a bit of condensation, but it generally dries after having the pallet open for a few minutes.

@sethpeterson8261 8 месяцев назад

I build an involved drybrush palette, but after a few uses went right back to just using cardboard which seems to work better and is far easier, simpler and faster. Hope you find more use in yours!

@jimihaze7085 8 месяцев назад

Yo!! The tip about applying the paint from the side of the brush for large areas is a game changer!! Thanks, Lyla!

@neileddy6159 5 месяцев назад

This was great, only one thing i would add, for base coating before midcoat and highlight coat, i hit all my metals with something like duraluminum or the like, this really helps the metals pop when you apply the speed paints.

@familymeeple 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for your updated tutorial - always interested in seeing different techniques and methods of application. I have an insane amount of minis to paint; Fantasy Series 1 (from blacklist games) is zenithal primed and ready, I have the Tyranids set from Leviathan about to land and heading to the EU distribution hub is Marvel Zombies all in! Slap Chop is absolutely the way to go for me - great to see some fab results being achieved! #inspirational ❤

@gmpbuilder 8 месяцев назад

This video inspires me to try this technique. Previously I thought it gimmicky and lazy, but the way you do it, given the right subject, makes it seem more painterly, and the results are good enough for display. Thanks for a great presentation.

@goprochef6352 8 месяцев назад

I feel it also helps to be prepared for that “slap chop look”! It doesn’t suit every army or model imo, especially evil or sombre looking ones. I still love it though

@peterclarke7006 7 месяцев назад

All slap chop is is an old art technique called "grisaille" (grey scaling) combined with glazing. It's been around in the fine art world for centuries. Nothing lazy about it unless you choose to make it lazy, which is no different to any technique. I use it all the time, because I love experimenting with undershades and zenithal.

As a total newb in this amazing world of miniature painting that is definitely something i will try from now on. Is there a video you show all the tools and potentially the work desk you have so far?

@hmmm348 8 месяцев назад

Contrast paints are harder to use than i thought. I only really need a 50% water/black templar mix that i use more like a shade to finish of zenithal drybrushed black armor for my Black Templar. I'm glad that im just using regular paint for everything else.

@RETURIO 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for the tips. Apriciate that some of the minis are the bloodborn board game minis.

@lisaleone2296 5 месяцев назад

The problem I have with slapchop is the minis I want to get done quickly are the infantry/battleline/horde models and those are usually smaller or have tiny details that make it hard to drybrush. Any thoughts? I do absolutely agree and am glad you pointed out the direction of applying the speedpaint is important.

@flowerknight4879 8 месяцев назад

It's so funny to see what the RU-vid Algorithm has done with Slap Chop, if you put that in the title it automatically gets pumped out to everyone. I'm not even hating I think everyone should use that trick LOL

@marklindsey4112 8 месяцев назад

Using that purple spectrum as a slapchop base looked beautiful. Would you recommend doing things any differently for a 28-32mm mini? Might so many layers risk covering detail? Currently moving house and all my paints are packed at the moment so I can't check for myself. It's driving me mad!

@LylaMev 8 месяцев назад

You definitely don't need as many layers! I did that because the model was so big, and honestly I probably did to many layers 😂. A medium color and white world be fine!

@ramonosuke 8 месяцев назад

Great Vid. I just started in the hobby and was wondering why my dry brushing has been well...ass, and lo and behold I was using paper towels. I hear cardboard works good as well, since I don't have a texture palette on hand.

I normally only paint for my DND, and pathfinder campaigns. And was wondering if speed paint are more for Armies or if the Army speed paints 2.0 would also work for Fantasy stuff? I mean can get like 60 colors for $250 is it worth the money. I normally paint with Kimera paints, and Vallejo. Thanks any info would be great don’t really want to waste money.

I've found that letting the contrast paints dry on the fidget popper is better than rinsing because contrast paints have a nasty habit of building up in drains even when thinned.

@donotinteract7851 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video - how did you go about priming your Bloodborne minis? I’ve been wanting to paint mine but wasn’t sure if they’d take to regular primer

@Michael-gs3lw 7 месяцев назад

Regular games primer is working without any issue for Bloodborne mini. So I guess any primer will do the job

@mischkagusta1622 8 месяцев назад

Honestly, I usually cringe away whenever a painting creator does another take on "My Chapchop" to jump on the hype. While I get the point that for a CC it is important to ride the wave because it affects the earnings, it is still annoying. With that context: I really like your video and your take! Instead of alterting a step and trying to set it up as something completly new, you instead show in an accessible way how to do things good and better. Using colored shadows is really underappreciated, especially among newer painters. The "apply in smooth strokes in one direction" tipp is basic, yetI wish many of my friends have heared earlier. It would have really saved several ruined minis. Thank you very much for the mature set up, the really good tipps you share with us! Already look forward for your next videos :)

@s7r49 8 месяцев назад

I'm hard time deciding between circular motion or not, I get better coverage with circular sure but I have a difficult time preserving the light direction opposed to swiping it in a general light direction (adjusting a little bit for features edge directions of course). Maybe I just need more practice

@s7r49 8 месяцев назад

when dry brushing that is. its not something I used much in the past preferring to very slowly and painstakingly glaze everything for natural looking blends

@ryano2714 8 месяцев назад

My problem with painting is that my skills are shyte, but I want well painted models XD I cannot accept what I put out, and so they inevitably get stripped. Also, I can't help but go back over areas (seeing a tiny spot i missed, the paint is a bit thin here, pooling there.. etc...) Going over the lines is brutal with speedpaints, as it creates a smudgy area that has to be completely redone. It's like I have OCD, but just for painting minis :D Anyways, cool video. I've got 3 models in the alcohol. Maybe I'll give it another shot in a few days.

@B4MBI72 8 месяцев назад

We are our harshest critics, stuff I have painted I think looks crap fellow painters have said, man thats awesome. Likewise I see things friends have painted and they blow my mind, but they think they are crap.

@pst5345 7 месяцев назад

Acrylic layering needs more skill and time but gives more control. A mistake made with contrast paint can not be removed.I started using both types of colors for various purposes. I got the impression that Slapchop is most useful for big amounts models you want to use but the real art of layering is better for display pieces.

This technique that is called "slap chop" is not new. We were painting our minatures back in the 80's using this method but it was called Grisaille. And we were using inks , glazes and pigments over the top, the technique is actually 100's of years old.

@sethpeterson8261 8 месяцев назад

Yep. Painted like this in the late 80s 90s, think we just called it shading or underpainting though (to young to know a word like grisaille ha!). Drives me absolutely crazy that everyone is suddenly acting like it's a new technique and calling it slapchop
