Blending takes so much time and effort, so what if there was a way we could just skip it? Today, I'm painting a Tyranid from Warhammer 40k's Leviathan Box using dry brushing, stippling, hatching, and scumbling.

Hi! I’m in my 50’s. My adult kids are really into D&D and I’ve fallen in love with painting the miniatures. Love your channel and I’ve learned so much! I bought the little dremel like tool you recommended in one of your videos but I need to know what that little straight bit you were using to sand down the mold lines. Hopefully you can tell me. Thank you for the great videos.

The insight of lines on fabric and dots on skin was perfect! I will apply this right away!

@khanoclast 11 ай бұрын

The trick I've found to doing skin on larger models is something you touched upon -- you need to add some texture and imperfections, which your stippling and scumbling provide. I do the same kind of thing in oils on my display models. You can get similar results with an airbrush as well. I saw a seminar at Wonderfest two years ago, where the artist was painting a large bust, 1:2 scale IIRC. They used an airbrush exclusively, and the first layer after the primer was basically scribbles in a shadow color all over the face. They repeated that in progressively lighter shades, adding in some speckles before a final light coat of the base skin tone. The effect was like seeing blood vessels faintly under the skin, with some light freckles and age spots.

@Jaydonald_DG 11 ай бұрын

Same! I came for the awesome thumbnail and was really disappointed to not see it in the video. Still a great technique showcased, but for me it was a bit of a let down not to see the screamer killer. Would love to see it in its own video as it is a sweet model and im sure Lyla would do a great job with it.

@JamieDaggers 11 ай бұрын

Smooth can definitely be overrated. Sometimes the atmosphere of a mini calls for more rustic, chunky highlights and I think it's our job as mini painters to make that call! Blending can be good, but it's not a catch-all technique! Great video as usual Lyla!

@hughmac7423 11 ай бұрын

I don't blend. I do use dry brushing, washes, dry brushing, edge highlighting, and a final wash. I have added speed paints to this process, and I'm very happy with what I've been painting.

Huh...I didn't know that my clumsy and haphazard jabbing away at my miniature in a mad attempt at creating texture had a name (scrumbling)! I aim for texture half the time anyway since if I'm honest, I'm competent at blending at best. I can pull it off well enough if I have to, but I'm learning that I much prefer texture instead.

@mathiasm3654 11 ай бұрын

if I understand correctly these are mostly variations of the layering technique? Models look great :) What was the difference in time in comparison the your "traditional approach" using glazing, blending, etc.?

@roryhatfield6696 11 ай бұрын

Great ideas. I will definitely be using them the next time I want a blended look

@guyr3980 11 ай бұрын

In 1987 the back page of the Ral Partha miniatures catalog had a one page painting guide called "Painting the Ral Partha way". This is basically that technique from so long ago. No "secret" about it.

@nicholaspow6147 11 ай бұрын

Blending is easy, start with your midtone as the base coat, block in your darker lowlite, then simply glaze that over the midtone at the transition, finish with a wash in the deepest recesses and bright thin highlight, the issue is that most people try to glaze with colours containing white pigment, all that happens is that pigment simply separates and doesn't tint the previous colour, it just adds white

@grimmriffer 11 ай бұрын

I never got the hang of blending, but I don't enjoy doing it and I don't enjoy looking at it. There's something lifeless about it, like a computer render. That figure looks frickin great! Never be afraid of brush marks in the finished work, it's a painting for f's sake! 😅

I'm new to painting minis but I have been painting with acrylics for years. What's the difference between using high quality acrylics like winsor & newton and something like citadel paints. I've been painting with my old acrylics and I like the outcome but I was wondering if there was an advantage to using a paint sold for minis.

@andreacook7431 10 ай бұрын

I want to say I've heard that the pigments are finer and there's more fluid? I remember it was either on this channel, or Dana Howel's, and there were cute blob creatures for the not-pigment part of the paint.

Mmm Scrumbles. Scrumbling is my fav.

@wolfie54321 11 ай бұрын

As someone who is not an artist, I've always considered these techniques to be "blending", I just would have described them as rough or textured blending. Still pretty time consuming to do to a decent quality though, not something I'm going to use on 50 Termagants, haha.

@markeforsman 10 ай бұрын

I see all the cool shit people do, and I've just gotten into contrast (still need to work on my dry brushing.) My regular figures I've learned that I just don't have the artistic eye for your kind of quality. Miniatures are basically color by numbers for me. It's nice to see though that I paint very similarly to you as far as basic techniques. I just can't make the connect to do highlights and lowlights. I'll swipe some nuln oil under capes and limbs, but that's about it. However I'm happy with what I put on the table and my friends think they look good. I shall forever be an average mini painter.

@redrooster7371 11 ай бұрын

This . . . this is how I've been painting my blends . . . Is this not how it's done? I don't know how to wet blend, so I've been doing it this way. Cool, I'm using youtuber-caliber strategies and I didn't even know it 😤

@Somofrates 11 ай бұрын

I do a lot of stippling and layering. But I finish with a quick glaze with the airbrush to bend everything toguether. That's the 11/10 "secret".

@jibboom86 11 ай бұрын

Absolutely I'm not going to glaze everything. Tried that... never again. I'll still find myself wanting to do a few glazes right at the end to tie things together just a little more, most likely using inks to increase saturation at the same time.

@iansharmacook 11 ай бұрын

Scrumbling!?!? That’s a new term for me!

@matthewlatchford4761 11 ай бұрын

well, shucks.... Ive been doing these techniques and calling it blending... guess thats why you're the proffesional artist and I'm just a hobbyist! LOL outstanding results nonetheless, very informative too. who new that what I call 'toshing-out-a-blend' is actually called scumbaling? Been doing the textured highlight trick for some time now and really enjoying the results. you know what? Its worth mentioning that although its good to know these techniques and the nomenclature of each, to facilitate better communication with fellow hobbyists, its not vital to know the names and all that, to just enjoy the hobby. as long as it sparks joy and creates results that please you that should be enough. thanks for this...

It’s Scumbling not Scrumbling. Scumbling is the technique of scrubbing an undiluted, opaque, and generally pale pigment across others for special textural effects or to raise the key of a dark-coloured area. Scumbling | painting - Britannica Scrumbling is a crochet term.
