In today's class we learn the absolute basics of how to paint miniatures: how to mix paint, which brushes to use, drybrushing, washes, layering, and edge highlighting, all while learning how to underpaint our miniatures.
This video is part of a 6 part series, where we are going to approach the hobby from the absolute ground level, starting with each specific tool and supply, what it's used for, and how you can hone your skills to gradually start and finish your first miniatures!

I like when you say something really funny, directly into the camera, and then cut just as you make yourself laugh. It's great.

@SpookySharp 3 года назад

This is great. I painted 40k for extra lunch money back in early 2000s. I’d just sell game ready squads for double the box value at my local GW shop on the weekends to older guys who were playing. I was maybe 12 years old, but some of them were playing with models right out of the box with no color, so they were happy to trade me or buy them off me to build their army. If I had RU-vid back then I could have made some better looking models. I’m 33 now and looking to get back into the hobby, I’ve enjoyed your videos, please keep them coming.

@SpookySharp 3 года назад

It’s amazing to me how far the hobby has come from then, washes and the like just weren’t a thing back then (as far as I remember)

@richardmarriott-smith9517 4 месяца назад

This video was really interesting and surprising. I never would have imagined that after zenithal highlighting you should then dry brush (which I was leaving until much later when I paint my minis) and then use a wash (which I was doing last!) but it makes total sense to really define the mini as you say “like a coloring book” so you can then “paint inside the lines” when you then start to apply the base colors. I learnt so much watching this video. Thank you so much. I think my mini painting is going to really improve now!

@foxtayle446 11 месяцев назад

You helped me perfect my underpainting technique years ago with your first video! For me I do the Nuln Oil first and then the drybrush highlight but that's because I don't do the second highlight at the end. Thanks for the great videos!

@Derlaid 4 года назад

This is video is perfect. I've been getting back into the hobby (waiting on my Lumineth box, painting up some of my old high elf models) and while I can slap on a decent base coat, it's hard to get a feel for highlights and shadows. This approach takes a lot of the difficulty out of it and makes the whole thing way more relaxing. Also some of my zenithal highlighting was really tragic, and this helps rescue it some. Always appreciate Canadian content, getting the prices in our dubloons and products that are actually available up here.

@YanniCooper 3 года назад

A few things worth mentioning regarding spray primer: * If it's particularly humid outside, wait to spray! (Test on some empty sprue if you're unsure). * You probably didn't shake your can enough. Like, a literal minute is a lot longer than you think it is. I wouldn't even start counting the seconds until you hear the rattle. * If you assembled your models and have been playing games with them for a while (or are using resin/metal minis) wash them and let them dry before you prime... Oil from your fingers (also mold release on resin and metal minis) can stop Primer from sticking. * If you have an older can of spray primer (maybe it's been sitting on the shelf for 6 months): Shake it for 60 seconds, then put it in a hot water (hot tap, not boiling) bath for 10 minutes, then shake again. This can restore life to old, "settled" paint.

@TheOneTheyCallJack 4 года назад

For really emphasising the zenithal/highlights, I’m a big fan of having a desk lamp with a daylight bulb (I conveniently have a soldering magnifier ~$30 I think) that I can hold the mini under, it really helps me step back from individual shadows and highlights and look at the mini as a whole

@derekstiles5801 4 года назад

Honestly, I tend to do the highlight spray, then hit the whole model in Nuln Oil. It will hit the recesses. After that, I do the layer highlight and it seems a bit quicker with more coverage of the dark recesses than trying to pick out small areas to add the dark. Different strokes, but I’m loving these videos either way!
