The Crass Course in Freehand Minipainting is designed for beginners and experienced painters to get a strong foothold in freehanding designs onto miniatures. With my Freehand trinity, I guarantee you’ll get a strong foundation on how to Freehand whatever you want before you develop it further into your own painting methodology.
A FAQ and lots of guide tips are also included to make sure most of the common questions and concerns are tackled before you give it a try. Everything is explained as best as I could for the sub-twenty minute video. There’s also timeline markers for you to go back and review anything necessary.
That said, this is still a crash course. A lot of nuance with specific designs is missed, but those are advanced subjects better taught by the more professional painters. My goal was to make a video tutorial to get new miniature painters to try freehand with more confidence and less anxiety. If I help even one person get into Freehanding with this, it served its purpose.
This how to video applies to nearly any painter, whether it be for Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer 40k, Age of Sigmar, Conquest, Marvel Crisis Protocol, or any other tabletop game where a player wants to go the extra mile for their minis. With this solid footing, anyone can become a freehander!
Side note: Still rather annoyed that’s the best I could manage for the overhead setup without having several more lights. But real-estate space on the desk is limited, and comfort takes priority when doing any painting. I hope everything else in the video makes up for the rather hit or miss quality of the extreme zoom closeups.
Crass Course: Ever want to quickly learn a few things about a topic but don’t have the time to sit through long videos? Enter Crass Course. As the name implies, it’s a collection of short tutorial videos focusing on a certain topic, whether they are hobby related or video game simulation based construction. I’ll impart the knowledge I know on the topic in a somewhat roundabout way, kinda like you asked the cool guy at the store how to do something that he does frequently. As the name implies, it's complete with completely unnecessary humor and inserts to make a blend of informative and entertainment.
