Hope this one helps! I put a ton of work into this video 🎨🥴 Painting faces might be my favorite thing to do as a minifig customizer 🖌 Eventually there will be a Part 2! Taking this one step further and adding high detail *after* you paint the face 📌 Special thanks to all these guys 👇 Jason Middaugh Jose Lebron Skywalker501st MrNinjaSasquatch bob gesi Jaedon Lawson Anthony Emraldyst07 Customs Jeff Joe Iorio maxgameplayer Nicholas Pena Michael Earl Eze Baum Banana Panther Jared Pohle Jayden Penney

@Emraldyst07 4 года назад

Amazing Thumbnail! Also painting Lego eyes and sculpting are the hardest things to do when customizing.

@brandon.rondeau 4 года назад

Recreating someone's likeness is always hard to do. Shrinking the work space down to the size of a minifigure head makes it that much harder. I just have that kind of patient. Major kudos to you, Ross!

@MGFCustoms 4 года назад

Thanks so much man!!

@frosted_flxkes5552 4 года назад

You should do a tutorial on the cloth details (robes, capes, etc.)

@PerovNigma 4 года назад

Definitely the best likenesses I've seen LEGO pull off are Sean Connery (Henry Jones Sr.), Emilia Clarke (Qi'Ra), Sir Christopher Lee (Saruman/Count Dooku redesign), and Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn).

You are insane this stuff looks so good thanks for another tutorial Ross it was such a great one cannot wait for the next one

@changjoe01 3 года назад

No way. Painting with thumb tacks could not possibly work. Yet this guy does it so well ....

@gargudon8720 4 года назад

Thanks so much for uploading this Ross! Nailing likeness is one of the skills I've had a tough time mastering throughout the years... To the point where I'd paint something mediocre or straight up copy your design for an AOU Black Widow or GTAV Franklin 😄... I bet this will help for a project I've had on the list for a while now though! 😎

@miriamrobarts Год назад

Have you tried using a sewing needle for the finer lines? You could add a handle with polymer clay to make the needle easier to paint with. Since they come in different sizes, you could even make a few different ones. You are very talented. Thanks for sharing your methods with everyone!

@brushedaphid2698 4 года назад

Thanks for this, I’ve always wanted to make my own LEGO person and this series is really helping me... Thank you. Ps you should make a video on how to make LEGO props, like blasters and other weaponry

@chaosandcreativitystream 3 года назад

This was very helpful while I attempted making a Cal Kestis minifigure from Jedi Fallen Order.

@Potatomeen 4 года назад

So what color do you use for the wrinkles Also what red paint do you use, like a normal red

@MGFCustoms 4 года назад

Chestnut, as pictured in the video & then Red Apple for standard red.

@Potatomeen 4 года назад

@thundergroot22 4 года назад

Spoilers for the Mandalorian kinda 1) I wish mando got his beskar armor in a later season I just think that it’s just a little bit early 2) They should have saved the face reveal for the end of the series in my opinion

@Brainless_Owen 4 года назад

I feel like if I where to do this I would try to make the face bigger

@sheleryshtickproductions7070 3 года назад

how do you make the pro create putty become hard

@bigsexygoat8 4 года назад

My back just hurt watching u do this

@tomjames9681 4 года назад

Until you attempt painting a face yourself you do NOT realise how much goes into the specifics of a Lego face. You think it should be simple. It ain’t. But it’s pretty fun.

@name36154 Год назад

I mean, it doesn't take that much practise before it is simple

I still can’t get over how you paint with a push pin 😂

@DemoHF 4 года назад

I use a pencil sometimes

@riku_kiritani 4 года назад

I also use push pin

@riku_kiritani 4 года назад

What's wrong with that.

@mp3frostbyte 4 года назад

@Spiderflash 2727 there’s nothing wrong with it, it’s just I’ve been using a super thin paint brush my whole life and I just assumed he did as well

@shocktrooperstudios659 4 года назад

MP3 FrostByte I use a toothpick, and I sometimes use a push pin.

@evilbuu5413 4 года назад

I can already tell this is gonna be amazing

@joeiorio9654 4 года назад

Can we talk about how when LEGO usually tries to redo a new head for a figure they make it inferior? Tony from IW, Finn from TLJ, Old Luke, etc The only one that actually worked on a second try was Old Leia in the Vonreg tie

@bradenbecker 4 года назад

They redid the kylo ren head and it looks better. They redid chris Pratt’s head and it looks better. They redid TFA Han’s head and it looks better. They do some of both

@joeiorio9654 4 года назад

Braden Becker The Han head was perfect when they re did it. But not so much Kylo. Both were pretty bad

@bradenbecker 4 года назад

Joe Iorio I would agree with that, they never really nailed Kylo, but the second version was def better than the first imo

@valthenvega2434 4 года назад

The redesigned Luke from episode 4 was such a weird thing because of the chin and the “😏” glare. If LEGO had kept less slim cheekbones but the face of the friendly Luke it could’ve sticked better

@bradenbecker 4 года назад

Valthen Vega I think you might be talking about the weirdly detailed one from a while ago. The current one in use is the best they’re gonna get I think

@tkfourtwoone8737 4 года назад

In case anyone was wondering that face used for inspiration for the eyebrows and eye lines is DJ's from The Last Jedi Polly bag.

@salvation7362 3 года назад

I don't know what's crazier, that you do it so well or that you paint with a push pin. *Bows down to you* The patience you display is truly incredible.

@schwa7728 4 года назад

3:57 ha, "eyeball" it in

@jesselee1729 4 года назад

i tend to just use an existing lego head and just erase the mouth so i dont have to remake the eyes

@OrangeParrotProductions 4 года назад

You matching actors likenesses is insane! I tried before didn’t mess it up but it didn’t look even close to as good as yours

@depressedbreakfast2614 4 года назад

My current favourite official LEGO head is Moaning Myrtle from the HP mfs 2, it is absolutely perfect

@mushbrain4962 4 года назад

Hey Ross! I was wondering if you had plans to make a video on making custom fabric pieces like capes, coats, etc. I’ve been able to make them out of paper but they never end up just right because I don’t have stencils or anything like that. I’d really appreciate it

@namialus1376 2 года назад

If you have a hair/hat piece, can you have a second head on the back

@ImmortalBanditt 3 года назад

Hes the best figure customizer in the world...i hold a minifig after every vid as see how small theses guys are and its insane how this guy manages to paint some of the best minifigs ive ever seen

@animator77nic 2 года назад

Imo the hardest part is to get it equal on both sides. It's really hard to make both sides look the same which is why figures like two face are my favourites to make

@lisawintler-cox1641 3 года назад

This is really great! Excellent description of your process! I feel like there's so much information overlap, but lots of different info between doll, car, figure and nail customizers/painters. For instance, you could use a nail dotting tool or the teeny tiny nail painting brushes to do the painting--which are a lot cheaper. Or, you could use a water side decal. Or you could use Mr Superclear as a base to work from and build up layers. Or, if using a used LEGO, you could use a butane torch like The Crafsman demonstrated. There are so many ways to do the same thing, and so many amazing Makers bending to teach, it's wonderful!

@lisawintler-cox1641 3 года назад

Oh, and you could try acetone or alcohol to remove paint.

@devilh0urr569 4 года назад

Bruh I literally quit customizing a while ago because I had to get rid of my LEGO and Ross JUST now makes videos on how to get better

Did not actually!

@@MGFCustoms yeah once a dude got a minifig face but the black wasn't painted on completely and it was white under it
