Just found you and let me thank you for this! My alpha legion needs it's scales and i can't paint well enough to make them look real. This is a lifesaver! Cheers!!
2 videos in such a short space of time! Youre spoiling us good sir! These sculpting videos are really inspiring, makes me want to dig out and pick up some old projects!
Really nice work, I found that moisturiser works even better than water for lubricating your sculpting tools. Used it plenty on my silicon shaper for my most recent sculpting vid & it glided effortlessly. Fantastic tutorial, man
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures No worries, man. I was using Milliput which is more adhesive & less elastic than Kneadatite/Greenstuff. They handle rather differently in sptie of both being 2 part epoxy putties. I'm rather lazy when it comes to sculpting too, recently got called out for not wearing gloves whilst sculpting because someone remarked there was a visible fingerprint on my piece. Long story short, I know exactly where you're coming from, dude Looking forward to your next vid. Keep up the good work
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Cool, man. Yeah, you totally should. It's certainly cheaper & I prefer to use it for shaping the main body of the model (since it's better at holding its shape) & opt to use kneadatite for finer details; cloaks, fur & such. Go for it, man. I'll certainly watch that vid
Great tutorial :D. If you were covering a larger mini with scales (let's say a dragon) where you can't get the full covering in one go, would you sculpt the scales top to bottom, bottom to top, from the middle, or something else?
How long have you been in the hobby, Juan? Your control of brush and sculpting tool is so perfect. Any tips on specific ways to practice brush control?
I started around 97, it was with the release of 5th edition Fantasy, I remember that very well. I had the obligatory gap later on of about 5-6 years and went back about 6 years ago. For brush control, I do have tips yes. Use a LARGE BRUSH, the larger you can handle that has a nice tip and paint everything with it, from layers to eyes, to Freehand. I personally recommend Space Marines. My favourite Brushes are the rosemary and co series 33 size 3 and 4. Learn to control large brushes and you will learn brush control without even noticing. You will also never like small Brushes again, they are useless.
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thank you, that's all very useful to know. I've been working my way through your videos and as soon as I'm able, I plan on becoming a patron. I really like your work. Its very clean!
I wish I got something as fancy, but canon of course, I'm a little canon bitch. I got a Canon M50, it's more than enough for what I need and I also got an 18-150mm lens.
@@jordangoldup9818 it will but the technique would be a bit different as milliput is not elastic. But the steps would be the same, just tye putty will behave differently
I hope a lot of members of the amazing FB group are here! I just want to say though we all are noobs here! The only way to be better is admitting you are a noob and learning!
That's the best thing about starting this channel. I've learned a ton of things and I'm a better person by it. Video and audio editing, Photoshop, using a proper camera, speaking to an audience and that's just the basic skills. Most important for me is its made me think in the steps and the reasoning of what I do when I'm painting and sculpting. I've learned a lot about myself that way. Anyway mate, thanks for watching! 😘
