In this video I test out every possible single coat speedpaint color that I think could work as a skin tone, including colours from the new prototype range that they sent me!

maybe now i can start painting faces instead of making sure all my models have helmets on. tyvm!!

@drunkenfarmerjohn42 Год назад

Fun trick with faces: on a lot of them, painting eyes is optional. Especially for table use, eyes are more or less invisible from a distance in squad or larger games.

This is why I always go with imperials when I plat star wars legion.

@dabdad6572 6 месяцев назад

Same haha

@lordnovas Год назад

Dark warm brown looks amazing, its very vibrant and deep. I would of asked for that color but they already made it.

@f.g.5967 Год назад

You would have asked for that color?

@PlasticAddict301 Год назад

Army painter is truly classy for reaching out to professional painters to improve their line while also keeping it accessible. Mad props to AP.

@justadarnminute474 Год назад

I really like all of the colours you showed off in this video for skin purposes. Thank you for involving your community in your work with the Army Painter!

@dracorotor Год назад

Your website and this collaboration with army painter actually convinced me to buy the entire army painter speed paint set that is out right now. My big fear is losing the reactivation property that has come in so handy for fixing overspill mistakes on a zenithal prime without losing my carefully-defined gradient. I would never be able to use slapchop without it

@freakishuproar1168 Год назад

Glad to see you getting sponsored by Squarepaints :3 I mean... Speedspace, no wait... Spacespeed, Squarespe-kfzk... But in all seriousness this video was pretty inspiring to me. I'm not an especially good model painter, I tend to feel more confident painting unrealistic skin tones of non-human people and monsters. But your technique make me think I could possibly paint some elves or dwarves or what-have-you. Thanks for that Dana! :D *edit:* That Sand Golem as a skin tone is giving me real D&D Hobgoblin, Djinn, Genasi, and even Azer vibes. I'm beginning to think a lot of these skin tones, even when they don't exactly look natural, have a lot of potential in-of-themselves.

@MarshmallowMadnesss Год назад

Awesome! You're making the hobby better in multiple ways, Dana Howl. We appreciate you.

@aartadventure Год назад

If you read this Dana can you please ask Army Painter to release the new skin tones as a separate set and/or to release the new speed paints in separate sets for those of us who already went and bought the Mega Set? These new skin tones look soooooo good.

@amandadrentwett3172 Год назад

the ones you tested out from the prototype set after time stamp 10:09.2, a side form the orange one. I think they all make for undead tones. maybe the 2 brown ones you are unsure of would look good with a purple/blue in the deeper areas. personally i like them as is for skin tones. great video.

@GobboIsGood Год назад

I'd kill for a video on green skin tones using speed paint/contrast. Great stuff as always, keep it up :)

@StarshipsSteel Год назад

I haven't tried it, cause I don't dig on green orcs personally. But the statement there is only 1 speed paint with skin in the name in the starter set isn't 100% accurate, as there is a green Orc Skin in there as well.

@svelle37 Год назад

Not speed paints, but the xpress color orc skin is probably my favorite green skin tone ever.

@TheThewhatnow Год назад

The Ork Skin speed paint that already exists has a terrible color. I like to make all my orks differentiere shades of green, and the Speed paint is just a dark neon green and looks out of place from every other of the 15 different Greens i am mixing with.

@aartadventure Год назад

Mix Orc skin and Pale skin and maybe even the Pale Grey colour. I don't personally like bright green Orc skin, I prefer grey-pink with a hint of green.

@elbitxo5945 Год назад

Giving the Orc Skin name to the generic saturated green was a mistake and it's missleading for so many people. 1:1 mix of Orc Skin with Hardened leather looks much better as green skin tone IMO, specially with some highlight and not too dark priming. 1:1 mix with Pallid Bone still has a blueish hue I don't like for skin tone, but it's much better than just Orc Skin. Mixing Orc Skin with Zealot Yellow gives a saturated old-school goblins skin tone I enjoy for older miniatures. All of them might look better with some Purple Alchemy shading on recesses, but it's something I still have to try.

@dlh567 Год назад

I really appreciate the reference documents, I've used the skinks page often!

@aartadventure Год назад

Ditto, thanks Dana!

@elbitxo5945 Год назад

I'm not a fan of painting human skin with Contrast or Speedpaints, but this weekend I used that 02:55 suggested pale flesh tone for my Mordheim's Skaven warband, and it works great! Using together Pallid Bone and Purple Alchemy gives the flesh a pale sickening but somewhat warm skin tone, that goes great with the brown and black fur, and gives contrast to the blueish blacks and greys I'm using for the clothes. Just a little bit highlighting and the warband will look great and cohesive. Painting batches with these paints is pure joy.

@anthonywaggett9317 Год назад

I haven't really seen any good South East Asian/Oriental skin tones. In real life there this covers a huge range over a vast area from Mongolia through Japan and Korea to Burma and Thailand and beyond so covering them all would be difficult but given the popularity of Samurai Games a Japanese tone would be a good start. Cheers and good luck.

@photonfartsqueeze6694 Год назад

Now is the time when you describe what a Japanese skin tone looks like while sounding completely racist. Go!

@tonysmoot3712 Год назад

I've been experimenting with mixing them and have found some favorites. Palid Bone and Crusader Skin mixed 1:2 lets the pale show through and gives it that warmth it needs.

@Mikey__R Год назад

Those two desaturated pale tones might be useful for undead or Genestealer hybrids.

@laurastanleyneelindquist1806 Год назад

My thoughts exactly. Perfect for a dark-skinned vampire.

@marcinduman2651 Год назад

Or like a monster that has a fur, so not really a skin. Could look nice mixed in in a pack of minotaurs. The whole set could make over 10 or even more differently looking models.

@billcurran7210 Год назад

Speedpaints have really become my go to paints on a nightly basis. They make such a fantastic first layer, and these small tweaks like the light magenta in the shadows really make them even more impressive!

@actableteleportation2009 Год назад

Great video! I never considered using magenta to add that warmth to the skin!

@thesykoward8188 Год назад

Ok, Gotta say I love the new Speedpaints. And I really liked this video. I liked that you showed alternatives approaches to using different paints as skintones I hadn't though of. That magenta trick looks like something I definitely need to try myself. And the new upcoming range of Speedpaints are looking nice. Can't wait to add to my collection. Thank you!

@CallOfJourneys Год назад

I started painting because of AP Speedpaint. I’m excited that more colours are coming. Love your videos. Thank you!

@willnox1 Год назад

These are the type of videos that truly help people. Thank you so much

@kartchner7 Год назад

Thank you Dana for your in depth look at this!! I have used the leather with a drop of dark wood for a dark skin tone and added a drop of leather to crusader skin since I think it looks better, but this is so much more comprehensive!! I’m so excited to get the new paints!!

@siriactuallysara Год назад

I really appreciate this video. I have the whole army painter Speedpaint set and love it. My minis have come out much better now especially after applying a satin varnish by army painter. I’m going to try out that magenta shading technique, and sand golden and hardened leather. I was mistakenly using grim black for darker tone. Can you do a video on fantasy skin tones Elves, orcs, goblins, vampires, werewolves.

@siriactuallysara Год назад

And lizards

@joshsmith2483 Год назад

We could definitely use a zombie and African American zombie skin tone. Greenstuff world has their zombie skin dipping ink which is good, but it would be nice to have a darker tone for variation for undead flesh.

@LanceGoodthrust_ Год назад

Thank you. Your speed paint/contrast paint reference page is just what I was looking for.

@exittheparade Год назад

My favorite prototype color was #2 Medium Warm Brown! Thank you for showing off all the colors and letting us all be a part of this process

@Artmesa Год назад

Thank you for not lowering yourself to deceptive "viral" thumbnails. I know what to expect from your video and I am into it!

@Drangir Год назад

This and new video about the speed paints made my mind about AP product and I intend to get it. As a painter such a wet blending seems amazing and less messy than oils, making coloring skin much easier, especially with your tips. Thanks!

@jherazob Год назад

Suggestion: Start from dark purple or magenta instead of black for the undercoat, with the white as zenithal. Might be even quicker than manually applying the magenta to the recesses, and act globally. Worth a try i'd say.

@thehappyogryn Год назад

Those work great as skin tones, looks easyer to achive some good skins, love that dark brown, and the Light Red Brown (Prototype) with some browns will make a great skin .

@surealisticly Год назад

Thanks for the great tips. I just recently started using speed paints and contrast paints and never through of using some of these as skin tone or using magenta as a skin tone wash. I cant wait to try some of these!

@BillyBartels Год назад

Perfect timing! I'd just gotten to the fleshy parts of an Aeldari ranger squad. In general, I've always struggled with what I felt should be very pale skin on Elfy things, and this pallid bone/Purple Alchemy combo is perfect for that.

@mlo51987 Год назад

I’ve been following your tips for painting minis and got so much better results now! Thanks! :)

@joshseltenright Год назад

Your content is the best. I appreciate your process and breaking down your trial and success. It motivates me to paint more. I was frustrated with the Contrast line. Watching your videos got me to Speedpaints and I’m big fan. It’s a good time saver

@gfresh513 6 месяцев назад

Thank you! Just painted my first vampire in your fashion and he looks the part!

@keydelllorenzana8143 4 месяца назад

Thank you Dana, faces have been a bit of a struggle for me and I am trying to learn. I am using Vallejo skin for learning but I bought a speed paint 2.0 starter to try and make it a bit easier. Your videos and goobertown are my favourites to watch. ☺️

@BrickInTheHead Год назад

that dark and medium warm brown are really, really nice. i'm glad that army painter is planning for more varied skin tones and labelling them as such. even setting aside the inclusivity elements that make it nicer to have a broader diversity of skin tones represented in paint names, i've just always wanted quick and easy ways to get that variety in my minis. it's so easy to just make all of my humanoids white, which makes them all very samey. i'm often hesitant to nab a dark brown to use that just because i'm not experienced enough to know how to make a decent dark skin tone. having the one paint solution is going to be great. even with the sand golem I can see it working as a native american or south asian/indian skin tone, but it would be nice to have it named appropriately to help guide the painting process.

@markneale6739 Год назад

The prototype skin tones look amazing, can’t wait to pick a bunch of these up 🙌

@lemontangs Год назад

Been hanging for this video. Love it! Some awesome techniques for me to try.

@joshbecka6110 Год назад

Nice a new slapchop video from Dana the Menace

@DanaHowl Год назад

everything is slapchop!!!!!!

@pdubb9754 Год назад

Magenta trick is A+. When you showed the desaturated grayish colors, I was thinking undead, and then you showed the vampire. Yep.

@twentysides Год назад

I fully agree with your assessments on these, especially the upcoming paints. Having good darker skin tones directly out of a bottle will really help. The magenta in the recesses truck makes it a bit too magenta for my taste, so I wonder if using about 1/5 or 1/4 Crusader with the other mega set colors might give them the kind of warmth that would look good to me. I'll have to do some experimenting too!

@JRiffle_HeaveHoStudio Год назад

Thanks for these references Dana. That's a big help!

@Rominil Год назад

Thank you so much for this! Love all of your content that makes painting more accessible as a hobby while having limited time to commit to it :)

@williamfawkes8379 Год назад

For the 2 experimental colors that were washed out browns, the second one makes me think of dark elf skin, and I think it's perfect for that. A lot of the creatures we paint have strange skin, and some can be colder. The final color was the same, very good look, although definitely not the sort of skin that you meet in a dark alley, and get to keep all of your blood.

@House_458 Год назад

Sponsored or not, former employee or not, I really appreciate your approach to products, where rather than only complaining about how certain products perform (i.e. reactivation in speedpaints) you instead have learned and show how to use that as a benefit. I hate how it seems like every youtuber does comparisons but forgets to accept that each product behaves differently, because they are different products. And, to me, in order to be a better artist you should always learn to work WITH your materials and not just find the materials that do what you want them to do all the time. Its always been why I enjoy all of your videos.

@jakesnyder1762 Год назад

As a Speed Paint user, I appreciate the way you are documenting your work with Army Painter, I like these paints and you are doing an awesome job!! I learned a lot from this video about skin tones, most I never thought of on my own (Surprise!!)

@wolfgangbrooks Год назад

I know some people don't like the reactivation thing, but I've found it works nicely for blending and forgiving some slight spillover on other areas. I kinda hope they make it a feature instead of getting rid of it.

@stevenvandevyvere8424 Год назад

Thanks for this incredible video, it is so helpful and informative. I especially love your tip for applying magenta first to recessed areas.

@chrismcknight7164 9 месяцев назад

This is perfect, just what I was looking for, thanks!

@ParvizalthePainter Год назад

Solid tips! Need to try this.

@thyrus16 Год назад

When I was painting a loonboss on a squig the other day the palid bone worked well over wraithbone to give the teeth a grimy feel

@h.b.nielsen5619 5 месяцев назад

You are awesome, this video and the guides are so beyond helpful. Thank you!!

@Len0Grady Год назад

I’m looking for an ashy/olive skin tone, one that could mimic LotR Goblins and Orcs without going too green- those grayish tone you weren’t too keen on would made a good start.

@cybermartyr8839 Год назад

Some awesome tips here, thanks Dana!

@niarlatotepbasset Год назад

Thanks for the tips, Dana 🤘.

@NateArnoldVideos Год назад

I love the "new skintones." Can't wait to get my hands on some!

@s41nt-hardy85 Год назад

The pale browns seem perfect for undead or the flayed skin on dark eldar.

@Mystrich Год назад

I actually like Sand Golem more than the leather color for skin tones but oooo, Dark Warm Brown looks good. Very excited for the (first?) paint line that will have skin tones named for something besides white that fingers crossed aren't "Monster skin" "Boar Skin" Etc for every dark color.

@goblinwizard735 Год назад

I like a whole heap of things in this video. I had a “but wait, what does underpainting/underglazing do??” Thought and then boom there you were showing me. Advanced storytelling skills *chef’s kiss* Also i really appreciated that you suggested the company name more colors with “skin” or “flesh” in the titles. It gets customers minds working towards a wider range of what can be done w the products. Besides being a basic inclusivity fix, that’s just good business.

@Dark_Wooki33 Год назад

Nice! The light warm brown looks the best, but i can totally see me using the dark warm brown on occasions . A very fair tone would be nice.

@ralfsstuff Год назад

For realistic (white) skin tones I usually find that one part Pallid Bone mixed with two parts Crusader skin works well. One to one if I want the skin to be a bit more pale.

@ramonosuke 11 месяцев назад

Gonna try this out! I absolutely suck at making faces not look like mannequin zombies

@sinisterrain2079 Год назад

That was a great video, thanks!

@sovietbear1917 Год назад

I'm so pleased there's new dark skintones coming (and possibly labeled as skin)! I was doing skin with Garaghak's Sewer contrast paint recently, and it just felt really insulting.

@TheArmyPainter Год назад

Noble Skin and Warrior Skin are ones to look out for!

@michaelflores9778 9 месяцев назад

Fantastic tips! Thank you for your expertise and excellent videos!

@chrisrobinson196 Год назад

Another really useful Speedpaint video, thanks. I think some of the newer ones that didn't work for you would work well for creatures, one looked like a great rhino/elephant colour.

@awijntje14 Год назад

Is it just me or was the name of the last paint omitted? Anyways love this nice summary of paints for a specific purpose would love to see one on using speedpaint for scenery (stone, metal surface and so on). Keep up the great work!

@mrl501 Год назад

That sand golem looks perfect for clone troopers before the magenta!

@justinbraungardt7168 6 месяцев назад

I love the crusader skin. It's so perfect for my Dwarf Army for the old world.

@grimaldus321 Год назад

I tried the pallid bone with purple alchemy mix about a month ago on some zombies, and it made some amazing results! I'm glad I wasn't crazy trying that out

@Mara999 Год назад

Sand Golem could look good for a Doc Samson-type "Man of Bronze". It also reminds me of comic book art, so it would fit that style of painting.

@GentleGiantDK Год назад

Dark warm brown (or whatever it's going to be called when it's launched) is a must have! Seems much better suited for dark skin than Dark Wood, especially going over an underpaiting I think.

@BlUsKrEEm Год назад

That magenta type is incredible! I suppose it's obvious to more experienced painters, but its an eye opener to me

@andreacook7431 Год назад

I use a lot of the pale purple-grey from the contrast paints (Dreadful Visage) but I would love something like that that doesn't take 3-4 coats to show. My Nighthaunts I use a variation of a zenithal prime with a purple base, then white highlight. (They're all shades of purple)

@portwills Год назад

Lots of great information! Thanks for your review

@Durkan34 Год назад

I’ve found for skin tones crusader skin over a pale warm base colour works best. Ok it’s deviating from one coat and done but I just find it a bit harsh over pure white.

@hogs0war Год назад

As always, great video and excellent reference guide it has helped me a lot. Thank you

@Pickles2393 Год назад

Thinking about doing a pale-skinned beastmen army with speedpaints. Crusader skin base with maybe some holy white to lighten it up? Curious to see any custom skin tone mixes you've done.

@DkP_Dev Год назад

Hi great video and reference link is extra usefull! Personally something i'm lacking at moment is some kind of contrast/speedpaint to make a very pale white/grey vampire skin

@issa496 Год назад

Ooh the first two prototypes seem perfect for when I paint Ankh Gods of Egypt

@toogreytogame Год назад

Really useful video Dana. I'm currently experimenting with contrast to get a good Skaven skin tone. Out of the bottle everything is a bit too human. Current favourite is a 2:1 mix of gulliman's flesh and gryph-hound orange. Would be great to find something similar with Speed Paints. An out of the bottle skaven skin tone would be amazing considering the amount of rats to paint!

@haricapra6886 Год назад

But! But! But what was that last color you put on the vampire!?!?!?!?

@123owly Год назад

What an amazing video, so helpful! I honestly had no idea I could try other paints as skin tones, mostly because only one bottle had the word "skin" on it. I tried underpainting it in different ways, highlighting, but never using the other paints. I now feel a little silly.

@Serle96 Год назад

I really liked the new skin tones. Also, I do believe that on a 1:1:3 ratio the desaturated prototypes could flourish. Not sure If I'd use magenta tho.

@markhickson9087 Год назад

While I like the crusader skin and there are lots of darker skin colours, I'm not struck on any of the paler options at all. Yes they can be mixed and glazed with other colours but that really isn't the point is it! Like Tony Smoot says Palid Bone and Crusader Skin mixed gives a better pale skin than anything that is available. Who paints orange skin colours? I guess there must be few as we seem to tend to brown and orange in what you've shown.

@Dack24 Год назад

I love my speed paints. The reactivation is only occasionally annoying now that I know to expect it and It is actually helpful with blending like oil paints.

@phunkysai Год назад

I need a good super pale skin tone in Speed Paint or contrast. I seem to be painting a lot of pale people as of late (vampires, witches, etc), and it’d be nice if something would create maybe a slightly bluish white for pale skin?

@hypnokitten6450 Год назад

Very cool reviews, thank you! Need to go back and re-try how I do my skins now :) Do you have any suggestions between the speedpaints for Very palid flesh? Drukhari Wyches, vampires, etc? So they look super-pale but not like they're just primer?

@sylvainhimmo Год назад

Thank you so much for sharing this video! I would love to see the Army painter "Barbarian flesh" color in a speedpaint format!

@kovacsgergely8673 Год назад

Great video again. Thank you! Can you give some green skin speedpaint ideas?

@CharlieFultonSC 24 дня назад

Thank you, great video and love the website

@Wildonion1 Год назад

This is a super handy resource! One question I do still have is how well the speedpaint mixes with a more standard hobby paint. Like, could you mix a given speedpaint into something like a pale sand to create a highlight color that would build up from the base coats you get?

@slanahesh Год назад

OK I'm going to have to remember to use that thinned magenta shading next time I do skin.

@FelixTheAnimator Год назад

Those desaturated browns scream necromancer to me. Like technically alive but with a lot of bad magic.

@JadeCatMinis Год назад

After seeing your video I kind of want to pick up some speed paint. Especially the darker brown color. I would love to see some kind of sickly flesh tones. Something grayish maybe a little green. Something like gollem from Lotr.

@LegionaireSiggi Год назад

I had just realized this prior to you video but the tip about Pallid Bone is awesome. At this point I'm hoping AP will add a black with a blue undertone to SpeedPaints. I really have enjoyed painting more in the last 4 months than in years thanks to SpeedPaints.

@LegionaireSiggi Год назад

Oh and that grey that you where not as thrilled about, could it be good for the Iron Golems or undead?

@Billchu13 Год назад

@Rohnon Год назад

I think the desaturated tones make great dead skin

@michaelskelton7770 Год назад

I think the Sand Golem and the light orange as a skin tone creates a very nostalgic aesthetic on those warbands. Conan the Barbarian or Heavy Metal Magazine style.
