That's all you got out of this video? Then what you are looking for are the step by step tutorials, with explanations, color recipes, color theory and much more in my online academy or some on youtube too :D

Secret to NMM is just to know how light works on metal surfaces. Paint accordingly to that. Take it slow. Avoid brush strokes so stippling and glazing helps. And pick the right mini for it. Easier to do a larger bust then to do it on a 28mm scale. After that it's more or less just the hours you need to put in and get good at it. I keep seeing videos saying. watch this and paint like a god or watch this and unlock the secrets. While the only truth is. Paint more.. MORE MORE AND MORE. And use always try to paint new things. Dont get stuck. Try and dare to make mistakes and paint something your unhappy with. Be prepared and ok mentaly to strip a model of all paint and start over. And live with your past projects. What you did last year will dwarf in comparrison to your next year. In the end your painting for yourself and no one else.

I agree about the title I've tried NMM and the results were decent enough, but I don't enjoy painting in a realistic style and prefer a more cartoony vibe so I don't do NMM anymore... I don't see that as an excuse, merely my choice as an artist

@@gaz-atolla7519 the sorta over saturated cellshade looks amasing on certain minis. Seen some amasing cartoon marvel paint jobs. ;) NMM is not necesary for all minis.

Thanks so much to you for watching!

All this techniques while looks good , fails to actually produce how metals should look like. Sergio needs to grab a 3d program and put Metalic shaders on Scuptures and compare it with Non metalic shaders.. Is not just the texture what changes.. but the way Surface reflect light is very differen. You can't simulate "metalic surfaces" by just combining textures.. it will look like a fake metal surface in the end. What makes a Metal surface , to look metalic is the way Light Bounce on it. Its surfaces have to be highly reflective of real physical light of his room, Something that is absolutely lacks on all his paint work.. A difference needs to be made between Art that looks good versus Surfaces that looks metalic.. He is very good in art , but still don't get it , why is not possible to fake Metals with just art. A proper hack to creating surfaces that looks like metals , needs to properly emulate its reflections.. What Sergio is doing could be called concepting art.. that looks artistic and good , but it doesn't look like metal at all.. More like armor made of paper , trying to look like metal but failing at it. The people that truly understand the issue and really wants to get there , use either OIL metalic paints ,to simulate better metals , or either use acrylics like vallejo metals ,that actually contain metalic like powder inside the paint and that you can see it right from the container of shinney particles inside the paint. It looks close to the real thing when paint is wet.. but when it dry it lose most some of its metalic properties ,because in the end is all about how the surface reflect light ,what is unique about metals.. Best way to get proper metals , is to 3d print miniatures in metals , not in plastic , some companies already doing that. THey have 3d printers that use real metal in powder form to print anything they want. From metal pieces to art . This is why is so hard to paint black armor that looks metalic, and looks realistic. And not just matte art ,as most spray painters does with their minis. Accuracy in reflections is everything in metals ,without them what you are doing is a hack , just concept 2d art that while it will look good ,as any 2d acryclic paint will look in the hands of a pro , it doesn't look at all metallic. in any way, looks fake.

Boom! one of the tricks, yes!!!! Well done!!! :D

step by step, always innovating in my style.

Thank you so much for watching it! :D

A few words are enough for a good understanding, as we say in Spain. I also have step by step tutorials to help more painters, with colors, ideas, theories, techniques... :D

Welcome to my channel! Always trying to do my best on each project :D

ouch! I wanted to show the painting process in an interesting and relaxing way, you also have my step by step tutorials, with explanations of everything and the colors used, always helping more painters :D

and silver :P haha

Thank you very much. I am thrilled to read the comment

To be honest, this is not much educational stuff in this video, but on certain level of skill you will get what Sergio doing. You learn by observing each brushstroke and where in each composition it is placed. Its like, you can paint 99 999 minis by yourself to understand that, or you can paint 33 333 minis by yourself and watch 777 777 videos of people doing that, training your brain too.

Maybe what you are looking for are my step by step tutorials with the colors and theoretical explanations of everything I do, very interesting and unique concepts for my style of painting.

I hope that never happens, it doesn't look good for me, hahahaha.

Toujours en train de partager et d'aider la communauté, voici une vidéo pour apprendre, s'amuser et se détendre.

I'll keep painting! :D

That's why I also created my online academy where I teach many interesting concepts throughout the many projects I paint. I hope this video inspires you to paint minis.

Muchisimas gracias, siempre intento lograr resultados únicos en mis trabajos

Hi, what can be extracted from the video are methods and structure. Unlike other NMM videos, Sergio doesn't thin down the paint, but instead uses thick layers and doesn't use glazes or inks. He simply starts with the base color of the shadows and then adds the lights and colors of the reflections. Finally, he adds the more saturated tones with the airbrush and restores the shine to the brightest points with the Brush I hope this helps!

Maybe the video format you are looking for can be found in my guided tutorials with explanations of everything and the colors used, there you can see why I use each thing at that moment, as well as the airbrush, the role it plays in my painting style. This is a time lapse as indicated, more for relaxation and enjoyment. :D

Hi Maurak, Thanks for the explanation, I hope it helps you too, it all adds up :D

@@Sergiocalvominiatures probably, but my gripe is more so with the title of the video claiming it gives away "the definitive secret" about nmm.

❤️

❤️

❤️

I'm glad you love it, take a look at the rest of the videos, maybe they will surprise you,

Y ya son mas de 16 años como profesional en el sector, como pasa el tiempo :D

Mola eeeh? Siempre cuidando cada aspecto en cada proyecto, y lo mas importante, disfrutando lo que hacemos :D

I like to start with a dark color but I never use straight black.

Thank you so much, I have always shared my knowledge around the world in events, painting workshops, my online academy on patreon and now on youtube with this format of videos. I hope to inspire you to try to apply my techniques and knowledge in some of your figures, you will see how interesting and relaxing it is at the same time.

The power of Gorko and Morko :P

Yes, you can! :D

hahaha, :D thank you and welcome to my channel! you can watch more videos like this one, always trying to do my best on each project :D

hahaha I'm glad it evoked those feelings, always save the best for last :D

❤️

Thank youuuu

Thanks to you for watching and enjoying it

:D

Thanks!

It's super fun!

No way, I try to inspire more people to paint minis :D

@Sergio Calvo Miniatures I know brother, I'm just kidding. Yes you do inspire!!!

❤️

Most things in life are really that simple... But "simple" and "easy" are rarely synonyms.

What beautiful words, Andrew Amann

I was very excited to read your comment, thank you for watching the video and enjoy it.

yesssss!!! :D

Gracias!

Thank you so much!!!! :D

Many have found them very interesting and entertaining, not everyone learns in the same way, so I have also created videos explaining step by step and showing the colors and the wet palette in my online academy on patreon, that does not mean that I can help more people with different formats of videos, maybe those tutorials are the ones you are looking for, the important thing is to enjoy the hobby! :D

Thank you!!!

Seguiremos mejorando :D

Gracias a ti por disfrutarlo :D

And honestly, that wouldn't be so bad. I can't even get there yet.

Stopping by to tell you youre both doing pretty good.

❤️

Muchas gracias, seguiré subiendo videos para ayudar a todos :D

❤️

oooooh!! Maybe next year, it was amazing! :D

:D yes!!!!! and silver :P

My team and I have a lot of fun creating these videos, you have different formats and with more relaxing or more active music, take a look at them, I'm sure you'll find more than one that you love music too :D

Muchas gracias, siempre buscando mejorar en cada aspecto :D

I'm sure that with patience and watching my tutorials, you can achieve similar results and with a little more time my results. I explain it in a very simple way

I use the primer spray in black and then white to know where I am going to place the highlights and shadows. It's like my sketch.

Welcome to my channel! you can watch more videos like this one, always trying to do my best on each project :D

❤️

A por el! :D

❤️

Hi, Currently it is in our online patreon academy, in the future we will upload it to the website to sell it, as well as we will make painting guides in PDF format. Thanks for your support.

Always improving in every aspect :D

What a good appreciation of the video, congratulations, it is very interesting to read comments like this, I like to see how you reason things or colors that I have used, congratulations, it's a great way to learn. Congratulations. I would like to see more of your comments analyzing the rest of the figures I have uploaded. I loved it, Thank you.

@@Sergiocalvominiatures I'm honored to receive such high praise. Regarding your previous works, I responded to comments here and there, but I most likely won't do detailed analysis on them. As I do it as a way to help others, it's a bit late for those older videos. Thanks for the kind words anyways!

:D

Possibly, if everything goes as it should, quite a few of my works could be in the future.

thank you!!

❤️

I have used many colors in this miniature. You have all of them in the tutorials on Patreon or Etsy.

I share my knowledge as a professional for over 16 years with a unique technique and style, I use this channel to share, if you want to learn with my guided tutorials, explained step by step, concepts of color, light, definition, see the exact colors in the color palette and color recipes, besides many other things, what you are looking for is my online academy that we have created in my patreon channel. It has no waste :D

@@Sergiocalvominiatures Ah, i see. So this is a teaser. That makes sence.

because I love painting in this way :D

A mi nunca me ha dado problemas con la cinta de carrocero. La pego antes en los pantalones y listo! También puedes usar Bluetack para enmascarar pero con el tiempo se puede escurrir ya que tardamos mucho tiempo en pintar...

I realize this comment is old but if you still want the answer to this question he has a more indepth spoken tutorial for this model on his channel that answers it.

Hi! My recommendation is to put the light colors in the mix at first and then use another color separately that contains a lot of white. The pure white we will use only as a final light in one or two very specific points.

Tienes toda esa información en otros videos y en mi academia online en la que enseño pintura paso a paso a todos los que buscan aprender :D

Gracias!!

Hello from Spain! :D

There is all this information in my tutorials, I have created videos explaining step by step and showing the colors and the wet palette in my online academy in patreon, there I am training many painters who are looking to learn in depth of my knowledge.

Mil gracias!!!

HP BH iwata :D

Para eso tenemos los tutoriales de Patreon, aquí quiero mostraros como pinto de una forma más sencilla para que disfrutéis del proceso. En los tutoriales y guías de pintura tienes toda la información de los colores que he usado en cada caso además de una explicación.

Thank you so much!!!! :D

Thank you so much!!!! :D

The sheer quantity of tones he uses. IE: layering, instead of glazing. The transitions perhaps aren't as clean as someone masterfully glazing, but for high contrast shiny armour with lots of reflections, it isn't necessary.

@@juble7086 Thx, it really helps a lot !

He is glazing, just with the airbrush at the end. People put way too much emphasis on glazes these days when you can do just as much with regular layer consistency paints.

@@spamstabber You contradict yourself a bit. Since he uses glazing at the end, it is proof to me that regular layer consistency paints are not enough. Yes, people may be too focused on glazing, but for me it's still the best way to get a good end result that can quickly make the difference between a professional and an amateur look. Or maybe glazing, blurring transitions and regular consistency paint is somehow pretty similar for you.

It is my unique style of painting, I have been showing the world that glazes are not my way and with tutorials like this one I show how easy it can be to paint and achieve incredible results. This and much more is what I teach in my online academy and in my step by step tutorials with explanations :D

YEAH!!! :D

I'm glad to see that you like my work, I will continue to push myself to bring you more and better videos. Thanks for your support.

Es una pregunta muy interesante, tiene varios usos, lo llevo haciendo muchísimos años y cada vez es mas popular, es interesante ver como se crean conceptos misticos alrededor de esta manera particular de pintar. Es simplemente para crear un boceto rápido del planteamiento de luces y sombras, me ayuda a verlo en la figura y si necesito tomo una foto :)

@@Sergiocalvominiatures Muchas gracias por la aclaración!

댓글을 읽어주셔서 감사드리며, 앞으로도 더 좋은 영상을 보여드릴 수 있도록 노력하겠습니다. 감사합니다.

Thank you!

In the airbrush I use Thinner + Water + Paint.
