Thank you for showing the entire model and where you place the highlight and shadows. It's a massive help. So many NMM videos on KZfaq only focus on one leg, or just the chest plate and it makes following along and actually learning the entire process too difficult.

when I first saw the pic I thought you just base painted yellow and did a contrast paint style heavy wash of brown, but clearly you had to put a lot more work into it to build up those volumes, well done buddy!

That will work too! But the wash will dictate where it goes too much. Will work best on smaller gold nmm details. ☺️🎨🎨🎨

I think that the selection of colors is secondary to the placement of highlights and intensity of contrast. It's crazy what some painters can do with obscure colors! That's why I tend to fail; my brain doesn't seem to understand highlights properly :(

Totally agree as colors being secondary... but it is kinda tricky to teach where the highlights should be. But will try next time. ☺️🎨🎨🎨

Hi! I came across your channel today and I know I will stay there. Your tutorials are really good for such noobs as me :D But, I have a little question- so firstly we are sketching all highlights and shadows, and once its done, we just blend them with glazes, right?

@@DonSuratos thank you very much for answer! Honestly I feel like glazing or layering with mixed colors make no difference for me, as I am beginner.

Brilliant again, sir. I only have the Game Color and Extra Opaque ranges available to me - could you tell me if Game Color Leather Brown, Plague Brown and Moon Yellow are 3 suitable shades to start with? If not, what 3 would you pick out of those 2 paint ranges? Thanks a lot!
