I like it. I get what you are doing, and it looks like a fun way to approach painting a mini. But there is just something about pure blacks that, to my eye, makes things look dirty. I feel inspired to experiment and find out for myself though; so thank you for that.
One thing I've learned through trial and error is that when doing cross hatching I can get quite good control on my line consistency by diluting my liquitex black ink with some airbrush thinner... Getting some lighter toned black lines and softening the cross hatching. At first I just painted realistic stuff but found comic style is by far my favorite technique now. Mostly because of bringing 2d into 3d yet still using 2d principles.
They only way to paint Wolverine! I feel deeply in love with the X-Men because of the 1990's animated series and Wolverine. As a teen I loved that these characters were all about helping each other overcome life's obstacles and helping others in their community, especially when the evil doer had a scheme. lol
Thank you for acknowledging the use of an airbrush in a tutorial. People always hand wave it as "if you don't have one just use a brush" and I am left wondering if the effect is truly achievable without one.
This is great content! Your Venom painting guide earned you a new subscriber. Any chance you'll be painting Ghost rider? I'd love to see what you could do with that model.
Historical miniatures aren't really my thing, but I may pick up some Bolt Action Figures eventually. Not exactly the scale you're asking for but they're close.
Thank you for the content and sharing. Instead of using an Acrylic Ink, may it be an idea to use an Enamel or Oil? Such as Tamiya Panel Liner or a homemade Oil Wash? Typically the Enamel/Oil allows more time for clean-up and flows well. Your thoughts are most welcomed.
Awesome job!! Could you tell me which citadel paints are equivalent to that p3 paints? In my country p3 paints are quite difficult to buy. Thank you for your videos!
