Yep! This is who I buy my brushes from. They're a bit old school as you can't order online and you have to order the phone (including payment). But I've bought multiple R&C brushes from them and its always been great.

I began my miniature painting journey in 2020 (Jan), Sorastaro's painting was my first source of anyone painting. I have taken the lessons described, put them to use and now do commission work for some people. I paint purely for pleasure even if I'm making money for doing it. Thanks Sorastaro, you have been a wonderful teacher for this hobby. One day we will meet at AdeptIcon or at a Golden Demon event.

As far as the ending bit about taking pictures of your minis goes, I've learned that flash photography (using my phone) is great for telling you your mini doesn't look as good as you initially thought. Though while it can be a bit disappointing, I've learned to use the imperfections I get to see with flash to go back and clean up the model.

Great advice! One of my biggest struggles is trying to perfect EVERY. SINGLE. MINIATURE. It takes a lot of my time and I don't get nearly as much painting finished as I should considering how much time I paint. But I can't seem to break myself of the habit.

@Sorastro Жыл бұрын

Ha, thanks! Sounds like you have the curse of the perfectionist! It can be a tough thing to break.. Maybe just try doing a speed paint of a bunch of goblins or zombies or something for a game you want to get to the table.. 🙂

@dekai7992 Жыл бұрын

One thing you can do to deal with that is identify the most important part/area of a mini (usually the skin or armour, and the bare face, and sometimes a signature weapon). Paint these to your desired high standard. Use a more basic approach for everything else (i.e. Contrast/Speedpaint + Highlights), like straps, boots, etc. That way, you focus your time and effort on those parts that gave the most impact on the viewer and less on parts people know are there, but don't focus on. I highly recommend Ninjon's most recent video on the topic.

Love your positive way as always. Most of us Hobby painters are just this. We are not living from. Even we wish we would be good as the popular ones. But here we have to stop thinking about this. This vid you should stick very on top of your YT gallery cause its important for everyone not just starters to remain the fun behind and to though about why we painting. Surely most wanna have a finished Army or something and this is also fine. From my point of view. Its an hobby to slow down from workaday. So thanks for being here and remind us as well :3

Nice to see behind the lense. If I had that setup I would also use the monitor! I appreciate your dedication to giving us the closest & clearest view possible.

This channel is a huge inspiration for many, but in any case for me. Thank you very much so far for sharing your work. Even if you look at the older videos and realize that Sorastro's has also made qualitative developments (I shy away from writing "improvements", because even the works of the first hour are simply awesome), this is incredibly motivating when you realize that you yourself might paint in a similar quality range as the artist here a few years ago. Because it gives you perspective that it's worth looking further. Thank you for an incredible amount of tips, of entertainment, and of motivation. I look forward to each new video that comes out here and always enjoy looking back at the older works as well. And I also want to mention that I really appreciate the background music. Very kind regards from Germany 🙂 Frank
