👑👑 I'm in the midst of releasing my dream miniature brush as well as some wonderfully sculpted miniature busts mid June 2020. It's something I'm really proud of and been working on for the better part of the last year. You can already pre register your interest on my Kickstarter page: bit.ly/3dKjmnz 👑👑

Hei, Emil... you thank us so much all the time, but this is every persons way of thanking you, im pretty sure i speak for all of us here when i say that my painting has progressed so much from watching you, im more daring, more confident, i used to find marine heads in the hoover where id given them the over the shoulder ceremony for being sub acceptable... thats been a while now and its down to you, im in Bergen Norway so when i say this i mean it, for a Swede, (tongue very much in cheek) your a really pleasant, down to earth and humble guy... but anyway... THANKYOU !!!!!! A MASSIVE THANKS TO !YOU!

Excellent video Emil! Perfect explanations about the light planes, tones and everything related for painting faces, everytime I watch your videos I feel I want to paint so bad! (I have to try this tips by myself eventually :P) Thank you so much for using my academic bust, I feel so honored!

@aaronreynolds8587 3 года назад

Emil, a thousand times thank you for videos like this and the ork skin. The way you demystify process of layering is truly remarkable and a real gift to all of us. For years I have felt so intimidated by the prospect of layering and highlights and shadows but you are teaching me the proper thought process and I'm actually making progress. More like this please!

@samuelsanfratello4617 4 года назад

Anytime I get stuck trying to figure something out, I always come to check out one of your videos and 95% of the time find an answer for my problem. I've only been painting for a little over a year now, but your videos give me inspiration to keep on slapping acrylics onto models. Cheers mate!

@RageBadgerGaming 4 года назад

This has been very insightful. I think I really need to sit down and slow down my pace on certain minis and walk through one of these again. I've really tried to get fleshtones that look natural and this definitely looks up my alley.

This is amazing honestly! I am an artits and love drawing portraits! This is a hole new world for me! Wish I could sculpt so I could do make my own figure. Then I wonder what should my figures be made out of.. so many posabilites can deside

@timoses01 4 года назад

Dude Thankyou so much for this! My painting had been paused as I didn’t want to tackle face painting. Tried the GW method and it just didn’t look right and felt so defeated. Then tried your method and am so freaking proud of the result!

@McCool117 4 года назад

I watched your "Ugliest Miniatures" video just before this one, and I was wondering what it would look like to paint the old, ugly minis with today's painting techniques. The older paint style was a lot more colourful, but less subtle in comparison to how mini painting takes detail, as well as light and shade into consideration, making the overall end result look much more dynamic. I would love to see a video like this in the future, it could be quite an interesting challenge.

@bekkison 4 года назад

Great video as always! As a followup, could you do a face painting video for problem faces? The sculpts you used for your demos in this video were all pristine, symmetrical, full faces. What do you do when you get a board game with minis that aren't the best sculpts? Or when their wearing hoods or face masks? In other words, how do you make it look good when it's isn't that good to begin with?

Looks great on large scale, but I think for smaller scale I seen a great tutorial from the Artis Opus guy. The paints he used would not have jumped out at me for doing faces at all, but it really did work. I will try your recipe as well as I have a few bare heads to do on my Black Templars currently.

This guide is a godsend!! I am following other guides and even though they are excellent in regards to painting most of the body (armors mainly and cloth) the faces have always bothered me, especially the ones expressing emotion. Most just look like they have trumpet lips and the faces just look flat and without character. The Adeptas Sororitas' models suffer of this the most, because they all end up looking like angry men with flat faces and huge mouths. The techniques here are a game changer!! THANKS!! 🤩

@ianbuick1332 4 года назад

Hi, loving your tutorials . Very informative. Your work is pretty awesome too. I’ve been modelling for years but decided to have a go at an alpine miniature for the first time . I understand the theory of how you describe painting faces but my problem is that when I paint the different highlight or shadow areas I end up with stripes . Where one colour ends and the other begins there remains a distinct change. Is this because my paint is too thick or too thin or am I just crap at this . Regards Ian

@chucklamb3496 4 года назад

@AFV85 2 года назад

That's actually a perfect base to start with! I have 3 skin tone sets life colour, vallejo, AK 3rd gen not one set has a good base

@PitTark 4 года назад

Hiya Emil, something I have been thinking about for a while is a scene inspired by graphic novels, where strong shadows fall and powerful coloured lights are cast upon the scene. I don't know how challenging it would be to do but could you make something like a strong light being cast through a stained glass window and landing upon portions of a character and having that light be the only source of strong colour within the scene - with the majority of colour outside this area being blacks and greys? Or have the stained glass window be shattered above a certain point giving a strong contrast between the above effect and a more traditional sunlit style?

@MentoliptusBanko 4 года назад

@saltedllama2759 4 года назад

"It isn't about the colors; it's about the placement." I try so hard to stress that very point to the people I tutor on miniature painting. Whether a student or an average hobbyist on a message board, so many of them ask for color recipes (and want EXACT drop counts, no less). But what they fail to realize is that you can achieve an effect - like, say, NMM - with literally any colors. Which colors you use isn't as important as the value, light, contrast, and texture you are creating.

@heirapparent1996 3 года назад

@93Nordo 4 года назад

Hey Emil big fan, was wondering, i see you handling minis without any gloves in most of your paiting or just for showing, do you think you could spend a little time explaining how you actually preserve the work while painting and once you are done with it? Thanks take care

@CoconutCheez 5 месяцев назад

The process of painting a face with acrylic paint is very similar to painting a face with makeup. The areas that require highlights are exactly the same as you'd see in makeup tutorials. Finally, my two hobbies are feeding into each other xD

@D00M3R_MAVS 2 года назад

What wet palette do you use, please? I use a homemade one, but I'd like to try out a proper one to see if it's any better. Is it the everlasting one from redgrass? I have been looking at them, and the news ones are out at the end of next month, so might as well wait for those.

@southoceann 3 года назад

Holy cow these faces look very similar to that of drag queens! They are super exaggerated with great contrast between the highlight and the contour. I never thought I would be able to connect two utterly different things like this haha.

@Grimprospect 3 года назад

What are you using to thin down the Cadian Fleshtone? I've had poor results using water but I could be thinning too much.

@ismanapribadi8842 4 года назад

hi there, correct me if im wrong cuz i struggle doing this, so basically you do shadow first and then add layers of highlights right?. I still try to figure out about which layer should i do first, and so far i dont get good result in my opinion. Btw i never try shadow first. Very informative video thank you

@DrDunce-wj8ke 4 года назад

Hi! I like ur vids

@ochoaE3 Год назад

How about for those who are still new to the hobby and don't have the amount of paints that other people have, how/what would you recommend in regards to base tone and highlights? I bought Vallejo's Game Color set and have a pot of Kislev flesh. Is it a matter of lightening the base paint with some white?

@herbbreymaier6478 Год назад

I gotta ask. Do you have a playlist on Spotify for all this dope house music in your videos? I need it for painting I think.

That bust kind of looks like a cross between Dave Bautista and Eric Bana when he played Nero from JJ Abraham's Star Trek and its weird because I keep going back and forth between wanting to see it painted like Drax from Guardian's of the Galaxy and with sculpted, pointed ears and facial tattoos like the Romulans had in JJ's Star Trek. Drax meets Nero weird crossover?

@marksutherlandjr.2121 3 года назад

Emil, could you do some kind of tutorial on how you're breaking down pics? How can I start to use Windows Paint or whatever program you use when your zooming in and grabbing a portion of color. Then I can start looking into further detail and exploring new color applications and methods the way you do. Also, if you would start some sort of subscription-based paint clinic through one of your sponsors. I think it would be great if those of us interested could get a mini or 2 each month, each session some type of skill set or mechanic would be featured. We could all paint through these models together ( even upload on our Discord ) in a season-long master class or something of the sort for those ready to take their miniature painting and support the channel to the next level. The videos would no doubt be helpful even for those that weren't subscribed. Thank you in advance for all you do for our Hobby. -Blessings
