This week I take what can only be described as a face only a mother could love, and lovingly re-arrange it back to somewhat normal. Faces are an extremely important part of painting models, and probably one of the hardest parts! Especially those eyes. In this video go over a few ways that I like to tackle those tricky bits and make mini faces worth looking at! Luckily I found the perfect model to work on in Ragnar Blackmane, what an incredible oldhammer model! I'm also putting the fancy pants banner bearing Ragnar back up on eBay. If you would like to help support this channel then please check out the auction. I always start the models at the price I purchased them for and ship worldwide! Thanks again for the tremendous support, it really helps keep the channel going and the crazy rescues coming in!

I don't know if this is a big deal for you or not, but it kinda is to me when I'm looking for older sculpts. The wolf backpack with a single banner pole was supplied with both Ulrik the Slayer and Njal Stormcaller, but Ragnar Blackmane originally had a two banner poles wolf backpack. Cheers!

@eBayMiniatureRescues 2 года назад

It does bother me a little bit, and the newer model I got didn't have any poles. I swapped him for at least the one so I could use the paper flag. It's not perfect, but in terms of bringing him back to somewhat former glory I feel like it's getting the original intention of the model across, and I'm alright with that at least.

@MS-zo8tp 2 года назад

I've found drawing in the iris with a .001 micron to be the absolute best for getting eyes that look where I want them. Usually on anything that small I just draw a line and then maybe fill out from the center of the line a little if it doesn't look like enough.

@Roushlamn 2 года назад

Painting skin (whether faces or other areas) is entirely dependent on the scale of the model. As a general rule for me (old school): 1. Paint a white base layer 2. Stipple random red 3. Thin lines of blue 4. Layer of translucent tan 5. Shading with a light brown wash 6. Selective red wash 7. Highlight with opaque peach/tan This method can give a lot of intricate detail and is really more useful on larger models. However, the basics of this method can still be applied to miniatures on the scale of Space Marines. What I love about this method is you can achieve a wide range of realistic skin tones just by varying the density of the individual layers.

@wakcedout 2 года назад

I never do eyes. If I have to paint a face I usually use a base flesh color, in the past it was the old foundation, now I use bugmans glow. Then I give it a flesh wash, once dry I redo bugman and then move up to cadian. After that ill pick one higher level for spot highlights and done. I leave eyes shaded because its just easier to make it appear like the face is in shade. Also I like the new ragnar model better. More dynamic than that old single metal chunks pose.

@guerrillavanilla 2 года назад

For those face-avoidant painters: try taking 5 or 10 bare heads and dedicating a whole afternoon or evening to them, and work one-by-one. You will see improvement by the end of the session, guaranteed, as long as follow some good painting guides. Turn that weakness into a strength and you will really feel proud.

@Ducknuck84 2 года назад

Best tip I ever got for painting eyes and getting them to look in the same direction was to start with the eye that corresponds to your dominant hand then move on to the other eye.

@nathanthom8176 2 года назад

I don't do eyes on faces, I have a shaky hand when I paint the eyes on helmets so I pretty much just accept helmetless eyes being unfinished rather than look derpy. I just wish they would give every head Clint Eastwood squinting eyes so I don't even have to worry about it. In regards to painting faces in general, I have found Army painter speed paint or the speed paint medium (mixed with a different skin tone) has made this purpose much easier and usually follow it up with a light drybrush.

@fluffygutts2240 Год назад

@TheShoKuda 2 года назад

To safely and completely remove paint from metal or plastic miniatures try Fairy Powerspray, it's a general kitchen detergent and degreaser and it works like magic. Just put the mini in a plastic tub cover it with powerspray and leave it overnight. Next day you just wipe the paint off with a stiff brush, it just peels off no matter how old and encrusted the paint and primer is.

@fri8601 2 года назад

Honestly... Biggest tip for eyes. Don't do black and white eyes like this video suggests at 8:19 The problem with this method is real eyes don't look like this. It looks cartoony and will always make the eyes of your models look a little goofy. Look at how classic painters paint eyes on small figures. It's all about the suggestion of detail. So as a jumping off point. Shade the entire eye socket area with a shadowed flesh tone then mix that colour with white to give a suggestion of the white of the eye (no black. No raw white) for the pupil mix a dark tone (but not full black) Removing the stark black white contrast and keeping to roughly the tones we see at distance in real life makes a huge difference. But hey, it's your model do what you want hahaha.

@Johnnekaiser 2 года назад

Yeah. I'm the same way, But that's why I like Factions like Tau or Space Marines or Anyone that has Helmets. The only "Good" Faces I can do are Ogres but that's probably because of how big their faces are. I did do a cool trick that I like to do. I'd first do a small layer of White (Or any other) Color like Corax White on the face to get into the details like Teeth or eyeballs. Then I go over the face again with the skin color of my choice. It helps quite a lot with avoiding to paint white on the eyes for later

gotta admit that there is nothing worse than when i see a mini that has a huge eyeball that goes over the eyelid just because someone had to paint a pupil. if you look at the scale... you can clearly see that you wont see a pupil from far away.. mostly a reflection but no details... thats why i dont do that stuff.. i do it basically the same as you do ^^

@BunsenB14 2 года назад

I start by painting the eyes. I block them with off white. Then draw a vertical black line through the centre of each eye. Then I shape the eye with a dark flesh tone; this covers the parts of the vertical lines that go past the eyes. The model will look like a raccoon at this point. Finally, I paint the rest of the face, leaving some of the darker flesh tone in the recesses.
