I bought the AK Basic Starter Paint Set for my Christmas holiday back in the UK so I could paint while visiting family. Little did I know that the paint set was going to not only allow me to paint away from home, but also push me to experiment with colour and understand how and why certain colours work with one another. This video is me putting what I have learnt so far to show you how you can get really good results with a limited palette of paints.

Ive used the same 15-20ish paints for about 6 years and i get some really nice blends and tones. I probably have a couple hundred bottles of paints i just dont need. I wish i knew this when i started mini painting.

@ZombieSashimi Месяц назад

The important thing is that you discovered the paints that work for you to get the range of colours you need the way that works for you. You may have bought a lot of paints you don’t need, but it probably helped you along that path of discovery!

I got this set last year, and it's my new go to set. I use contrast as a base sometimes, then layer up and highlight with AK starter set. Absolutely love it!

@ZombieSashimi Месяц назад

Very nice. I have some Xpress paints from Vallejo, I should try that technique out by using them more with this set.

I bought that Krydrufi set! They are absolutely amazing for every type of paint. Multiple kinds of wet pallet paper and so much much more.

@ZombieSashimi Месяц назад

I have literally not stopped using it ever since they sent me the miniature painting palette paper. I don't know how I hobbied without it before. Cannot go back!

@ericgriffin8343 Месяц назад

Clicked for the infinity model. Stayed for the color theory. Fun video!

@ZombieSashimi Месяц назад

Thank you. Means a lot to me that you stayed to watch it! ❤️

Looks cool. 🖌

Thank you! ❤️

Just got the Kimera set of single pigment paints to do this. I was always worried about not being able to find the same color i mixed before. But im starting to get a hang of getting the same color back without the need of a dropper bottle ratios.

@ZombieSashimi Месяц назад

It is like any other technique or skill, it has to be cultivated, so the more you do it, the better you get. I really want to get a set of those Kimera paints for myself some day, they look like a lot of fun to use.

amazing

@ZombieSashimi Месяц назад

Thank you 🙏

@UguuYianKutKu Месяц назад

The video is fantastic. If you got a better camera set up or settings for your mid painting you could really go far with these painting vids

@ZombieSashimi Месяц назад

I was very much debating with myself to scrap the whole thing because of the poor video quality. I was live streaming the painting session, so it was not the best setup. For future videos like this I am going to try and record off stream and have a camera dedicated to the mini and another for the wet palette. Thank you for the kind words ❤️

@fuchsenlp Месяц назад

the start is so dramatic i love it haha

@fuchsenlp Месяц назад

also would love to see this become a series with the set

@ZombieSashimi Месяц назад

I am trying to have fun in front of the camera. Getting into that RU-vidr spirit for my videos! 🤣

@ZombieSashimi Месяц назад

@@fuchsenlp That could be good. Will see if there are ay of my other models where I can try a completely different colour scheme.

@squadof5 Месяц назад

Enjoyed this vid and your end result. Know what you mean about how useful this would be if travelling. Don't have AK paints, but could prob put together an equivalent set from my existing paints. Need to try this out.

@ZombieSashimi Месяц назад

As long as you can find some equivalents of the paint from this set then you should be set!

Honestly, yes you do need 15+ greens. Particularly citadel starting out. You are going to be way too busy learning painting methods than to be bothered learning paint mixing. I say citadel paint because 9/10 tutorials will use citadel. What better way to learn than to compare yours to theirs as they paint, following them every step of the way. Using the exact same colors they are (again, watch these tutorials, 9/10 use citadel) Eventually after youve painted about 4-5 models from every faction, buying every paints used in those tutorials, you should have enough to paint practically any warhammer model without going on a mad dash for 20+ paints. By that time you may beed a handful. I have over 250 citadels and happy to say I can literally paint anything gw puts out without running out to buy a million paints. I already have them. Once your paint collection gets to this point, its like nirvana not having to worry about finding certain paints. Im quite happy with my investment.

@ZombieSashimi Месяц назад

Now, please don't take this the wrong way, but I cannot tell if the comment is being facetious or not, but I shall reply as if it were an honest comment. You talk about 'need', but I think you mean 'want'. Not everyone is in a financial position to buy 250 paints. And everyone learns differently. I do not watch tutorials to emulate exactly what a painter does. I enjoy painting videos that teach me better understanding of colour so I can approach models with my own original colour schemes and hopefully with some success. If you learn best by emulation with the exact same paints as those who you watch then more power to you, it is not for me. I also will not buy citadel paints. There are some I really like and some I really don't like. And the fact they are not in dropper bottles is very frustrating. On the point of why mixing is an important technique not only saves me having to buy lots of paints, but it means I can grow a better understanding of colour. I can look at colours and learn how to create the colour with what I have. This also means I can create more transitional colours for greater gradation. All of these are important skills to learn just as much as layering, wet blending, dry brushing etc. Anyway, I wish you all the best in your miniature painting learning, but remember that everyone's journey is different and so this may not be a guide for you, it may well be for someone else. And that is ok! Peace!

@travisjohnson622 Месяц назад

@@ZombieSashimi I wasnt trying to be rude man. I know its your video and i probably came off as rude anyway, and shouldnt have said anything. I just think someone brand new should probably just buy what is needed. Mixing your own can be empowering, but i wouldnt recommend doing it till youve been around for a while. It may even lead to burn out or unessesary frustration if you are brand new to this.

@ZombieSashimi Месяц назад

@@travisjohnson622 no worries. I am happy you commented. Discourse is important. I thought it was an honest opinion, but it is always hard to read intent in text format. This point here in your reply is much clearer to your intent of what you wanted to say and I can agree on much of it. I started out with citadel paints, but you still don’t need that many as a beginner, but it is nice to begin with guides and then expand from there. ❤️

I can't forgive them for their latest controversy. They'd already got us used to trashy ads in conspiracy mode back then, which were disgusting and raised questions about the guys who ran the company, but their latest controversy was with the ad for the war crimes diorama book, saying that they were idealizing war and sticking us with shocking videos, including one of a Vietnamese man being executed by an American. I was there from the beginning to the end of the story, the guys had their youtube channel suspended for violating the GTU, then when they got it back, they deactivated comments for over a year. On facebook, where they'd done the same kind of advert but a bit softer, they banned people by the dozen, and there were even screenshots where they bragged about doing what they wanted as they wanted. Then, as things got worse, they deleted all their compromising content, like a falsification of USSR history. And only then did they start making pseudo-apologies and hire an unknown woman to be their new face, but in the meantime behind the cash drawer it smells of Franco and vox all over. Vallejo and MIG had to announce that they weren't like them, that's how far AK has overstepped the limits.

@UguuYianKutKu Месяц назад

You could replicate this video with other paint sets. Also AK could be run by literally Hitler and I'd still buy their paint due to quality.

@ZombieSashimi Месяц назад

Thank you for the information. I was unaware of a lot of the details here. I will have to look into it. It is a shame as the paints are very nice, and the thought put into the range by Jose Davinci is very good.

@ZombieSashimi Месяц назад

@@UguuYianKutKu I would probably have to draw the line at that point, if not earlier. I also really like Pro Acryl, so could mess around with some of their paints as well. (Please don't tell me there are controversies with them as well...)
