Doing a layer of pink first also makes orange and red take quite easily and smoothly. I know people love to point out that trick with yellow but never see it brought up with those two
I primed my Hearthkyn Warriors with Rustoleum Flat Red matte spray primer, then basecoated with Jokaero Orange. Troll Slayer Orange goes on great over that, but maybe a white/cream primer with orange contrast paint is a quicker method.
All you need is 12 different shades of orange; glaze and glaze and glaze, and VIOLA! lol. Joking aside, it does look very nice. I just don't have a whole wall dedicated to paints
Okay, make sure you have bright cyan+magenta+yellow. Plus white light grey and black. I mix my colours from them most of the time. If you have your colour too that can speed things up.
@@mandowarrior123 lol, I have most of the basics plus a few.... but the problem I have with mixing is that a lot of times I can't quite get the same shade, like for skin tones, if I have to take a break in between painting sessions. Not terrible, I generally can get close enough and my results usually are pretty good, but having a wall of paints would be helpful. But I would need to find the space to put a wall up for a rack. And find the money for the paints to fill it, lol.
Now imagine that in universe, the manufacturers who make these war machines also doing a similar painting tutorial, using the same script and the same delivery, but using industrial robotic arms with paint sprayers.
Imagine kids in thirty-forty years… “Ugh… my dorky ass grandpa just wants to sit around watching anime and painting his stupid warhammer models! Old people are so lame! He blasts dubstep and death metal in the car and talks about something called MySpace from when he was a kid..” Lmao Our grandparents had an epic world war, we have a pandemic and dungeons and dragons. “Did I ever tell you grandkids about the time I slayed a lich with an epic nat twenty?” “Ugh! Like fifty times! You ruined the whole campaign your DM had planned.. blah blah! We know!” “Hehe he was so angry when that crit happened..” Haha
This is the one thing i miss about “playing” the tabletop as a kid. Putting them together and painting them was so fun. If it wasnt hella expensive and i kept up with it. id probably be a master by now.
This is actually an amazing video and if you look closely reveals much more then most detailed layering technique videos. I’m a hands on learner so listening to a video on someone describe how you do it or reading it off a site with attached pictures. Though it is quick it translates very well being able to see how the larger brush is roughly loaded and how the individual strokes are being put down in both wet and dry stages on a larger bolder panel. Reproducing this with different colours scaled up or down. Compared to many other layering technique videos this is a thing of beauty
I’m always fascinated by miniatures painting, and think I’d like to try it, but then I realize I’ll just end up spending hours on the first figure, and the the rest will be like “red guy” or “green guy”.
Stop. Just stop. That's beautiful. I can't - like I felt good about my models, then you just show up making an _armor panel_ look like this?! Witchcraft. Sorcery. 😭
Here's a question you gotta ask yourself if you wanna take yourself to the next level(of self loathing). "Am I even good enough to *have* imposter syndrome?" This won't make you paint better, but it will send you into a spiral of existential dread for the rest of us to be amused by.
That paint will absorb into your skin. Once or twice is not an issue. It only becomes a problem if you do it habitually, like if you are a hobbyist painter.
Gosh I love watching the process. I started using these videos for reference for my coloring on other things. Even when you're not model-painting, most of the same rules apply.
Pretty cool as always. One thing that I've never seen yet is those parts that are overheated with the paint marked by it, like a scale of gray or black where the areas had burned a lot.
So this is actually amazing. I do not paint printed models or other stuff, but these techniques apply with no issue for digital art as well, so thanks!
The odd part with this is that you are trying to create highlights on edging to simulate sun highlights.. when all you need to do is paint it any orange and put a light over it.
