Rethinking Skin Tones - HC 399
Рет қаралды 27,834
Күн бұрынIn this Hobby Cheating Tutorial, I take you through a completely different way to think about skin tones and the way you render the colors. We can learn from the old masters and bring unusual colors together to render deep, interesting and varied skin tones that suit the individual piece we're working on. Hope you enjoy!

You're videos are always masterclasses but this felt like something really extraordinary. The glazing stage blew me away. I've been watching @GRGMiniatures do some fantastic videos on lighting and colour theory etc as well and I'm so excited to see experienced mini painters helping new painters move beyond "toys on a table" to genuine pieces of art.

wow, just wow - this taught me so much - always wanted to emulate those fantasy-illustration classics but had a hard time figuring out the steps when it comes to skin, especially with cooler tones. I love the painterly approach with "rough" stages to get the lighting/color right before any smoothing is done (I love the look of it before any real blending is done already), it's eerily reminiscient of 2D painting and probably the one spot I need to work to elevate my own paintjobs. Great job and a true inspiration!

Honestly I just love this video and the ideas that it brings up about how to paint skin, it feels a bit advanced for me but at the same time something I can practice with over time. That, plus the fact the artwork of Frazetta and Vallejo were a big influence on my childhood (loved sword and sorcery as a kid) this does make me perk up and pay attention! Considering that you're currently jazzed about playing around in skin, have you thought about doing a straight up video about how to emulate Frazetta in miniature painting? Its probably a big ask but well..doesn't hurt to ask and I would personally love to see a video tutorial about how to bring one of (if not my biggest) favorite artist's style into my hobby.

Absolutely beautiful Vince 😁 A fascinating exploration of colour theory and how it can be applied to skin tones. It makes me want to get out my equivalent of Larry and have a go. Also it's quite relevant at the moment as I am painting a mage figure casting a fireball type spell and I think I'll have a go at using an airbrush for the OSL effect. In the worst case I can always repaint and start again. This video has inspired me to experiment! Also I'm tempted to find a scantily clad figure (probably male as I think the delicate female tones are a bit ambitious to start with!) and try these techniques. The big issue I see is being nervous to paint the rest of the figure in case I screw up all the time and effort put into the skin. Once again it's great to see you enjoying your painting again now that you have liberated yourself from all the stress of working on GD entries 👍😁

I love the painterly quality of this piece, and the references to Frazetta and to the old masters' verdaccio technique. This is absolutely not going to help me knock a bunch of dark angels and tyranids out for gaming but I have been loving some very pretty busts and models that I would like to buy and paint. I have a bust that I plan to do as Death of the Endless, and I'll use your vampire skin tones on her from a previous video, but it could well be interesting to paint a candle- or fire-glow lighting scheme on her as well, as from out of shot. I think I might start painting on the volumes and sign up for your patreon to get crits.

I keep wondering what color her cloak should be, and I just can't get over how amazing a deep reddish purple would look with her skintone and that blue highlight. Especially with a silk-like or velvet sheen. Might also be "too much" since it basically runs the whole color wheel, but the way it looks in my head is awesome. Either way, fantastic scuplt and gorgeous paint job. Please let us see her when she's finished!!! And please know that I am living for your newfound freedom. Do whatever you want forever; it'll always be interesting, helpful, and above all motivational. Nothing inspires folks to paint like a good teacher can.

Beautiful mini too. Have you ever done a HC on painting iridescence? Since there's a raven theme to this subject, and they've got gorgeous reflective feathers in real life, just started to wonder how that'd work on a mini. Could also be used on fairies, lizards, insects, or particularly flashy wizards. Is there a way to do it in a sort of NMM style?

Hi Vince! As usual, the video and explanation are great. I was wondering if I could ask you a question regarding the environmental sources of lighting we can use for our minis, specially for skin. I am painting my Witch hunter Mordheim warband set under a night sky, therefore there is a lot of desaturation in the colors and blueish hues everywhere. Any advice on how I can improve the look? So far I mix all my highlights with a pale blueish Grey from Vallejo Game Color and then I was planing on glazing either some intense blue ink or a dark blue (like SC75 Artist Prussian Blue or Scalecolor Deep Blue) in the shadows and hope for the best. Any thoughts for the skin? I would love to share a picture of it with you if that helps. Thanks a lot! Cheers from Spain!

There is no one answer there, it isn't done in a vacuum, so it's about the the other colors you're using the exact mid-tones you're describing, the lighting, the basing and so on. I've done several videos on blue skin, including the layering video so those all have options.
