Paint with Everything You've Got
Рет қаралды 35,122
Күн бұрынPainting a miniature is not always something easily told in a "KZfaq" friendly format. In this video, I paint a mini from start to finish - going back and forth, using many different mediums and techniques. Probably quite confusing and not very "how to". But painting a miniature is not always a straight forward thing. It's more about using "everything we've got" - to get from grey plastic to finished mini.

It’s actually so awesome that you’ve posted this as 1. I love your content and 2. I’ve been holding off on painting a model that my partner got for me that was quite expensive and I was worried my paint job wouldn’t do her justice. I came to the conclusion that she would be more happy to see me actually slap paint onto it and be content with it because I’m actually using what she got me. I gave up on trying to be a perfectionist and rather go with my own artistic style and flaws for the model and it has been so freeing. Such a great feeling knowing that I’m not painting to impress someone else but rather to make myself and also my partner happy. Thank you!

I love to see you creating your own contrast paints, and more to understand the concepts and the way you think. Until today I have only painted the minis by following the tutorial videos or the box photos. I just have bought a new kit where there are no tutorials on youtube, no photos, only some colorful drawings. Watching your videos I have been encouraged to test myself and do just what you say in the video, and I will paint with everything I have. It will be a challenge for me. Thanks

I like your videos because there´s no bullsh!t in them: you dont try to share a secret about painting minis, you dont try to explain to us why we NEED certain paints, or certain brushes, etc etc. You genuinely share your painting experience, your process, but you dont sell it. I feel i´m being talked honestly and with the understanding that your experience is just that, an experiencie, and that everything can be so diferent inside just one part of a big hobby. When I watch your videos I dont think "ok, this is the correct and only way to do it", instead is more like "oh well, he did it this way, I think i´ll give it a chance making my own way having this in mind" and thats really important because in a hobby like this everyone is unique and so are the paths we decide to take when starting a new painting project. There are very few youtubers that are careful enough to have this in mind, by the looks of the videos. so thank you.

Great video once again! If you want the highest highlights on the armor as bright as possible I suggest using a heavy body acrylic white. The "body" of the paint makes it reflect more light.

Thank you! To see a video where the painter “just” paints a miniature per se, without it forcefully being a guide aiming to “achieve this/that technique” is relaxing and helps focusing as well as providing inspiration to just start one’s own work! I appreciated the fact that despite the speed up and the necessary editing, your video managed to convey the amount of work, thought, attempts, cleanup, and TIME spent on painting the miniature. It does not provide a “model to aim to” (like “omg this guy is such a pro”) as much as a “dude who has the same hobby as I do” feeling. If I may add, I totally LOVED the close up shots at the end of the video. No panning shots, no turning around, just static frames for 2-5 seconds. If I may humbly suggest, it would be great to have a section like this at the end of the video, with the close up shots of the finished work, and just silence. It allows me as a viewer to let all the details sink in, as a form of “meditation” and closure of the video. It was great to hear your storytelling but I think I would have enjoyed much more having been able to contemplate your mini in silence for a minute or so, pondering on all that went into its painting. Again, thanks for the good time you had me spend here! Best

"Paint with everything you've got," as you define it, is particularly cool in that it applies just as well to a beginner as an advanced painter. If heeded, that advice will ensure that each painting session will help the artist improve. Also: staying on the edge of your skills helps keep the boundaries of your current "tool bag" clear, and can illuminate the way forward. And, as others have noted, the low-angle tracking shot was a seriously slick way to plunk us down into your stream of consciousness, start-to-finish painting session.

Thanks V! I hope so. Also to consider how all the different colours on a mini affect each other. Like.. I didn't paint the white to completion until everything else was in place.

I don't remember in which video you shared the technique with us, but I wanted to let you know how much fun I had blowing "blood spatter" from a brush onto the mini using a straw. Great effect--thank you!

LOL--I found it. Hiding under the title "Splatter".

Standing ovation for this one. Watching you wet blend those hammers was like magic, same with the cloth on the cloak(?). An entire Stormcast army in this scheme would be stunning.

Yeah, it's not really a cloak.. I just don't know what it is 😂Thanks T! I appreciate your comment.

Wow, someone who finally understands what metals get rust, which get verdigris, and which just get dirt. Got a little tired of seeing people adding verdigris to gold the other day.
@52Miniatures 3 жыл бұрын
Gold is very boring that way isn't it. It just dulls down. I mean, it's very tricky to go for realism.. His hammers should (if unpolished) probably be just black green all over with some shiny brass showing at the edges... but I get you point :) Thanks a lot C!

Thank you. This is a great video, showing your thoughts while painting, while not as visual as your others it certainly mentally stimulating. Showing the process of doing an entire mini from start finish with this what I was thinking is just as important as the ancient glowy eye technique. I just picked up a brush again just recently and your video have inspired me (I even picked up visual diary to record my colours).
