Thanks! Can never have too many layering videos. Would love to see more of this with with navy blues & dark greens (dark angels?) where i'm challenged to highlight "up" yet keep the colors feeling deep. Just watching your brush work always helps build confidence!
I've painted a red cloak myself recently using the scale 75 range of HBA, going with a Red orge mixed in with red. I feel that my lack of extreme low lights and high lights is what's lacking the umth this video provided, so I am hugely thankful for the insight and I will be seeing about taking it forward on future models. Gotta say though, red is probably one of my most favourite colours to work with.
I'd like to say your videos are great and explanations of what you are doing and your thought process are amazing for a beginner like myself. I do want to comment on the camera work in your videos. To me it is really hard to make out what you are doing on the mini with the camera so zoomed out and far away from the mini. There are times when you are applying paint and the camera is so far away that I can't tell if there is actually anything happening on the mini.
I've only recently started painting minis. When you're using the VGC brown ink glaze, are you doing anything special to the normal brown ink, or are you just specifying that you're using it as a glaze?
@@ThePaintingClinic so do you thin out the Vallejo inks or are they thin enough already to work as glazes? If so would you thin with water or something like glaze medium?
I just can't do it ;-; whenever I'm trying to apply a new color, It just looks "dirty". I'm pretty new to miniature painting, but it doesn't seem like I'm improving at all.
There are quite a few channels that can help, the first of which I recommend is Black Magic Craft, but also Miniac and 52 Miniatures have great explanation videos of these kinds of techniques. One more thing you could try, that I have yet to cause I just want some stuff for the table at the moment, is to take a plate, or an empty base (like the ones Reaper Bones sells) or just any kind of flat surface (a piece of white paper would probably work) and practice these kinds of techniques on a flat surface. Brush control and paint consistency alone are the most fundamental skills you can work on to make very drastic improvements.
I'm kind of sad this model is metal only right now, I have the worst luck with metal minis. I'm curious, how often do you get to use the miniatures you paint on your channel for games?
I can't agree, it's about layering. I've seen videos like this one where the technique was focused on a piece of cloth or the face, this is not the case, it's about layering as a whole. Otherwise, why show the steel bits at all?
You can try adding a retarder. Still is quite common to need to add a drop of water now and again. If your local weather conditions make it too difficult to use, then try a wet palette. Though I prefer more control, I will on occasion break out the wet palette during the summer.
You can but not as clean and realistic as with layering. Shades are not dependent on gravity but washes are. So they will always run to places where they don't belong.
Please do not imply that a dry pallet is the best way to go for everybody. It is your way. You like it and that is fine. Most golden brush painters would disagree. I love your videos, but man you have seemed to be getting full of yourself lately. You aren’t a Kommets. Not many are, but even he doesn’t imply that his way is better
Funny. I skimmed the comments cause i knew thered be at least 1 person to get upset about the wet palette comment. I use em alot, but theyre just another tool. They arent right for every situation. I think thats probably all faust was trying to convey. We are human, when we see someone we like using something different than us and having better results, we get caught in the mindset of "i can do just as good if i only had that product", without considering that more likely its the other persons experience that is creating good results. Use what you have, and enjoy your hobby, otherwise whats the point. I used apple barrel paints and 20cent brushes for years. All i could afford. Still use em sometimes. Have fun.
