Heroes are everywhere these days lol. The choice of yellow as a example to use in a video set off a alarm for me. Ive been using German Panzer Grey primer from Vallejo. A warm grey drybrush, the brightest white I have for drybrushing key highlights and leading edges. I'm happy with results using this method.

Anything from the last two years including a variant of "I fix Slapchop" in the title, is gonna be clickbait. The clickbait is further intesified when the self proclaimed hero of Slapchop is also just a very average painter

Wish I'd saw your comment earlier. Honestly i thought the secret was going to be using a darker version of your primary colour but nah use grey like yeah mate already completed it

​@Jatc93 too much effort was put in to constantly/ needlessly switching cameras rather than just getting to the point

I double tap to fast forward every time i see her face.

But the explanation in why priming black and then drybrush white is bad was necessary. We need to know WHY we do something, not just do it and that's it

This is what I’ve been meaning to try! Prime white, wash thin black (so it’s more gray) drybrysh white.

Lol didn't realised anyone named it yet. What i did was i primed my models gray, a dark purple wash, drybrush white and then a skin tone contrast. It was beautiful .

I have had similar results, priming grey, washing black, then drybrushing white. It is a very clean result

Yes that works, but the whole point of slap chop is that its quick and easy, having to manually create recesses kinda fails on that first one. Hell if we doing that, might aswell just prime, gray, do a nuln oil wash then a white dry brush. Would be probs a similar result.

yes, it would but also darken down your miniature. Id suggest to use a wash on selected areas instead of the whole mini

Yeah also IIRC you're mean to try the white drybrushing as a highlight step aka focusing it *towards the top of the model*, you're not meant to slather it all over and cover up the greys.

Long live the long

especially for me going way too hard trying to remove them damaging my skin i mean the mini

The other thing is it's used by people who think painting *is a complete chore*, it gets models 'good enough' to be on the tabletop which is something even this person mentions at the start of the video. Like the kind of people who are going to use it most are the kind of people who a literally batch painting their way through an army or who see the painting as a 'means to an end'...aka people like me. I'm not going to edge highlight a batch of 20 Ork boyz or 20 Imperial Guard or even a full squad of 10 marines, bugger that, does it look decent enough to avoid getting the '-10 points for an unpainted army' penalty? Yes, fuck it, we ballin'. Honestly I'm only painting these to get them to a tabletop standard which is minimum 3 colors and they look good from like 2-3 *feet* away. I think this is something a lot of people who exclusively paint but don't play forget. You're not going to be looking at these models in a close up instagram picture, these are going to be seen from a tabletops worth of distance, at which point all those fine details that you spend hours on, are largely going to be a blur. The only time you'd want to focus a little more is if you're doing a big centerpiece model. Now don't get me wrong, everyone can engage in the hobby however they feel and there's such a wide diversity within the hobby itself from painting for competitions, dioramas, kitbashing, list building, competitive play etc.

Exactly that. Also contrast paints were meant to go onto a white base coat. In my opinion you get th best results in a short time (otherwise what's the point?) if youstart with a white base coat with a wash on top, highlight back to pure white, then apply speedpaints, job done.

Yea guess I did that wrong boy making videos is so hard when you are a dumbie dumb :(

@@ataraxiapainting on another note... its a nice solution. thank you. Im still waiting for someone to colored slap chop like going from brown to wraithbone, or using pink to give yellow contrast paints a nice shadow

Yes!!! S tier baby

She did explain why and give examples to be fair. You could also just skip to the end.

Bruhh I have a mole on the other one just watch the fckin video 🤭

Nope I did not use a different dilution for the yellow and I haven’t added any orange of made any changes to improve the other one. The point wasn’t saying that the method isn’t valid but that imho this way you shorten the steps and get better results, so it’s a win win for people who want to get model painted fast. I really don’t see why you should be mad about this.:. Again I think people in the comments also have some imput to improve more the technique by not using a grey bc but a properly choosen color to do the db on. I look forward to test that. And bro chill, i don’t think im better than nobody just because i use KZfaq friendly titles. I merely try to give my input to this community!

@@ataraxiapainting Again I disagree with your original premise. Just freeze that picture comparison of the two yellow figures. On the one on the right side, the paint job is complete, along with the weapon, the stones and the face plate, none of which are coloured in on the model on the left. Secondly the coat on the right hand model clearly has orange tint on the crest of the helmet, the right sided leading breast plate, the right thigh and the wrist guard on the left hand. So if you have not glazed it your photography skewed it. By comparison, the coat on the left model is very very thin, and as I noted significant parts of the model were not coloured at all. Further no other part of the model was painted in, such as the face plate, weapon and so on. I still regard the paint job as one manufactured to support your argument. Further the comparison between the two is a match between apples and oranges as they say, because you completed the better one and didn't even complete a single coat over the other. I guess the rest of it comes down to artistic taste and preference. But that is not a reason for claiming superiority, just a reason for presenting options. P.S. The time stamp for that picture comparison was 8:56.

@@ataraxiapainting As an added fillip, I know my limitations and paint my armies for gaming. I think they look OK on the board but would be happy to send a picture or two just for you to return fire if you wish. I just don't belong to Instagram and I have been locked out of my Facebook page for years. I have two examples, an Eldar army in metallics and a Death Guard army in contrast. I was experimenting with contrast when it was released and I think you can see the change as I go from Pox Walkers to the Bloat Drones. I don't use slap chop but to do use under shading, funnily enough with dark grey. Anyway next time maybe.

Fine. I’ll go tell my mum you said that.

@@ataraxiapainting Whoa you relied, in all seriousness its just unnecessary quirky commentary filler to hit the 8 min mark. I understand you got to make $ somehow but at least say the main points in the beginning and spend the rest of the video going more in depth on it. the extra banter makes you want to click off in search of another, more to the point, video. and props for thick skin haha

useless like me ye :(

In my opinion you get best results using speedpaints overa white basecoats as the makers intended. At least then the saturation is correct.
