Hobby Cheating 41 - How to Paint Bone Horns 

one of the best bone / horn tutorials out there - really gave me ideas for my Beastclaw Raiders, thank you.

Another one of your videos that really helped me figure out what I should be doing. For some reason, I just could not figure out how to approach horns. Thanks again!

very nice Vince gave me some inspiration for the Grey Seer Horns.

Really really awesome!

Have a question Vince but just want to start out by saying I’ve been watching you videos for a long time and they have helped me improve my painting by leaps and bounds. Keep up the great work. Now for the question, what was the base color of the horn?

works great! :)

Another question Vince. I’m getting some bad coffee stains with the Agra’s earth shade and seraphim sepia. What’s the best way to avoid this?

Just writing for my own reference. No questions, but I should one day count out how many HC videos went into this one model I'm slowly working on. We're looking at 8 so far.. or more, if you count ALL the glazing ones. And the thinning ones. And the various airbrush ones. Ah dear. And you'd be horrified at how bad parts of it are; your lava sword video didn't convert into a BIG axe nicely. I tried, but that axe blade is twice the thickness of the sword. Sepia wash: Start 2/3rds-ish up, brush down. Agrax wash: Start lower, brush down. Repeat both steps. Sepia ink w/ thinning medium: Draw lines of varying heights for the striations. Sepia ink (looked stronger): Draw sharper lines inside the previous lines to reinforce striations. Ivory: Glaze from the middle, brushing up. Repeat, starting higher than last time. Thinned ivory into offwhite: Glaze even higher up the horns, mostly the tips. Rinse brush, smooth edges. No paint on the brush. Bone white: The tips of the horns, brushing up. The tippy tippy tops, as vince says. Stark white: Touch the tips. Akin to edge highlight, only the very point of the tips. Sepia wash and ivory: Brush from the bottom of the middle up, then the top of the middle down. Repeat until happy with that glaze. Orange with a smidge of brown or orchre: Thin out until it's bordering on a filter. Glaze over middle area. Vince points out that white/black/brown is uninteresting, so is obviously into red-heads.

That would be Kalahari Orange (like the desert) and not Calamari Orange (like the yummy squid) :) Happy to see some Scale 75 paint, I'm really coming around to that stuff and it's just an absolute pleasure to work with.

Have you changed the way you do horns since the release of this video?

How would this technique be deployed for painting antlers?

What is your base color for the horns?

Just touch the tip! Lol great job.

How about a Vid about Sting's, glow eyes, glow venom Spiderwebs ...and Monster in general: Scorpien, Vermit, Spider and Snake In every TT we have them ;)

Your building up such a fantastic series of awesome painting videos here Vince. I can't help but think that the title of the series isn't helping them come up in the searches. I would seriously recommend you go in and rename all the videos 'how to'

What the hell did you do to your thumb??

I made it by myself. I used woodprix woodworking plans for that.

You're basing all of your thoughts on a false premise, though. Antlers and horns are two different things, and what you're describing are antlers rather than horns. Antlers are bone and appear as you describe; darker at the base and lighter towards the tips. Actual horns are often lighter at the base and darker at the tip, particularly those in antelope and cows. I think the video and techniques are great, but it's not an accurate description of how to paint horns...it's how to paint antlers.

26 minutes just for fucking horns... christ vince
