Just finished my librarian following this tutorial. Not sure how many people really follow all the steps but I do. I did a pretty bad job on my edge highlights. However the initial gradient work at the beginning looked amazing and really made the model look a lot better with not that much work and a large room for error. It gave the illusion of shadow and movement that i’ll probably keep using that technique. Overall i wasn’t in love with this model due to space marine fatigue, but the tutorial itself was very thorough and even if you aren’t as skilled as the TTR channel, your model will likely look a lot better than most. TTR is correct in saying that doing these advanced techniques poorly looks better than just slapping on a base coat.
thank you very much for the feedback :D I apreciate it. this was tough model to paint, the rune details are a huge destraction and get in the way of tose highlights. Kep practicing and you'll improve massively with each miniature :)
This tutorial's great, amigo! 😄 I came here for the glow effect but learned so much from all sections of this that I can't wait to try in my own content! Cheers, man! Your work is an inspiration! 😁
I’ve watched a lot of Warhammer painting tutorials…you make it seem so much easier, really looking forward to getting started on my miniatures (a mix of Orks, Tyranids and Ultra Marines…including this Librarian).
welcome to the hobby. I hope you enjoy painting, remember to take your time and spend some time just getting use to actually applying paint :P theres no rush
Thank you very much for your clear tutorials and explanation. As a 'restarting' painter (who never achieved a good level of details), these videos help a lot!
Currently painting my terminator librarian too. Amazing how you use glazes to elevate so much of the model. I'll definitely give your methods a go. Thanks for the inspiration!
Just picked this librarian up - he’ll be my 3rd miniature to paint so having this to follow along is great! Really well explained and easy to listen too - thanks.
I always appreciate the hands on skill of edge highlighting, shading and glazing etc... but I think that most people who have the dedication, time and practice, could get a satisfactory result, by just improving their hand/eye coordination, and muscle memory, if they dedicate themselves to many hours of practice. The thing that really makes me impressed, and is really an art, is the choice of colours, and the use of the right colours to blend, that artist like yourself use. That IMO is something that can't be learnt quite as easily, and is really the artistic side of the hobby.
when it comes to colour choice, thats also experaince as you learn what works and what doesn't. Its good to see how other people use colours as everyone has different approaches. When we explore, we find our style. A lot of my personal minaitures tend be black and yellow, so imperial fist, ironjaws, ulthwe, black legion etc I learnt a lot from copying how the games workshop studio paints theres
Your videos are so great, easy to follow, clear to see the details. And the techniques you sometimes explain are also very interesting. I would love to see videos focused only on the techniques, something like the citadel master classes, where you could do them in various different colors and models.
I have thought about doing something like that, but I would rather include it in a full miniature tutorial. full miniature tutorials are more exciting for me. I like to focus more on the techniques because once you know that you can appy to everything
Great video as usual! The tutorials help a lot as a new painter. Would love to see an apothecary tutorial to see how you paint that white armor. Amazing work!
Saving this guy for last, was bricking it but watching this has eased my nerves slightly! Wish I never fully assembled him first though that face is gonna be a pain to paint 😂
don't worry too much, just paint what you can see :) if you ever worry about painting something. go into it with a plan. write down how your going to paint something, what order and what paints to use. think about the techniques your going to need as well. personally I like to challenge myself to something new i havn't tried before with each miniature, so for this librarian it was the glow effects.
Great Video! I'm new to the Hobby and working through my first Librarian now! Question/Request, could you explain or maybe one day make a video showing how you setup your models for sub-assembly paint on those blocks? I cant find any good tutorials on how to pin/mount everything and when i tried to just wing it stuff fell apart while I was painting..
Whew about to tackle this. It’s unfortunate my base color is so bright for my army. I need to figure out how to darken it so that I can get that glow effect
the brightness or lightness of the base colour sholdn't stop you from doing these glow effects. they're not highlights, they will work as they are there own thing. if you wanted to change the colour, I would look at complimentary colours rather than lighter colours
My friend is giving me his Librarian in terminator armour as he is doing a black templar armour so this will be useful for my ultramarines army also great tutorial😃
Hey, in the last 8 months i have gone from nothing to 30 minis. Because of you, i got into painting and have practiced my highlighting to a point that i am very happy with by studying your tutorials. One thing that i am very insecure about is my blending/glazing. Now granted i have not tried beyond things like visors and optics but i find it quite hard to execute to the point that i'm happy with. That tutorial you did about edge highlighting. Do you plan to ever do one similar to that about blending/glazing? I know that i would greatly appreciate one.
well done :D 30 miniatures is a lot, some people don't even get that many done in a year ha. I recon I'll be doing a dedicated glazing video in the future, I just want to get better at it first as I'm still pretty new to it myself.
Amazing video Michael. I just started painting my Librarian and I'm considering to paint the runes/axe etc. red instead of Sotek Green, Temple Guard Blue, etc. Any suggestions which colours you would use to get a decent glowing red colour?
love the tutorial, it helped a lot. But what could help more, is do a round-about of the model after each stage. Granted I have numerous images of the model pulled up, but after each stage I checked every picture to ensure I captured every piece according to these pictures. You do great work, and I'll leave it at that: "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness" by Oscar Wilde
Thank you :) I was going to use Calgar blue but I wanted to stick to the official studio recipe. I thought because your only gong to paint a small number of librarians then its not such a huge thing to mix. You can use Calgar if you didn't want to mix but it is a different shade of blue, not much though
I think all the lighter blues going on with the runes ans stuff, as well as the yellow pipes will make it stand out against crimson fists. you could go retro and do a lighter librarian armour
ur figures look like the images from the GW homepage.... but... they recommend another colours..... what is the right way now? wanne try to copy the original looks. and by side, i am new in the W40k universe.... so sorry when my intention sounds... a... little.. bit confuse? xD
The paints they suggest on the website arn't accurite to what the studio use. This is because they want to give a more straight forward way to paint certain things. For my tutorials I do my homework and learn how the studio have painted them and then use that to come up with a way to replicate that as close as possible but in a more achievable way for people.
