keep in mind that if you dont own a air brush, then you can do a black prime and a white dry brush all over the body for highlights. the black should stick to the areas where the dry brush wont show you where light will hit so if you do use a contrast paint that will help a lot also using a metalic silver and if you got copic markers laying around try using that over the silver youll be amazed at the result you will find

Yes this is the first step in “slap chop”. Also don’t lick your brushes. Most mini paints are certified non-toxic. But this certification only tests using the paint with brushes - not eating it. Some paints have toxic pigment’s mostly these are found in artists paints though.

I also appreciate the suggestion to not go hog wild immediately buying every color of the most expensive paints and brushes. The tip on how to diy a wet palette was really good to see too. This is the first time I've heard of a wet palette and using one would have saved me some hassle in the past lol. Thanks for a great video!

Zenithal priming. Where have you been all my life?!? This is such a simple concept and so absolutely brilliant. I used to paint quite a lot, then stopped for years because my kids were very small. Now the kids are older (youngest is 10 now) I'm getting back into it, this is a brilliant technique. Can't wait to get my models out and try! Thank you!

Love this video. Wish I saw this when I first started painting as it would have saved me hours of absorbing other videos... My only critique would be that during the final reveal, all three models are so different, it's hard to grasp what the different approaches/levels accomplish in terms of final product. Maybe having one with three techniques but all the same model would really help differentiate. Thanks for all the amazing videos!

Story time. I'm a lifelong arty type, never really painted because i could never quite get the hang of a brush; but gathered a fairly large collection. I started mini painting during the pandemic, got out my brushes I had collected over the years and started going through to see what was worth keeping hold of. Among the synthetic brushes and the couple of 'ok' watercolour brushes. There was a trio of 2, 3 and 4 sized, Windsor and Newton series 7 artist brushes that I had stashed away for at least 15 years. After testing and seeing which brush seemed to work best on minis as i had never done it before and didnt think 'oh youtube'. Not using certain paint types never really occured to me so I absolutely trashed all 3 and now cry daily when I look at how much replacements are going to be (about £150 for the exact ones I ruined tehe, not the newer miniature ones) Squidmar tells no lies when he said 'use a really good kolinsky sable brush and you will never be able to go back'.

After painting my first dozen of minis and doing research in various places, this concisely sums up just about everything I have found worthwhile to know in a single video. Great work The only additional things being - You can also use that Milliput to model your bases (vs Green Stuff to model more plastic/organic looking parts). - You can use a gray zenith plus white dry brush in method 2 for even better "ready after one coat" results. Optionally over a non-black base.

You can use Isopropyl Alcohol to "thin" milliput making gap filling a LOT easier. Make a donut of the milliput and stick it to a shallow dish (or a lid) and pour some IPA in there, mix it around with not your favorite brush and it's super easy to fill finer gaps.

I’m brand new to Warhammer 40K; I just bought the Command Edition set and have turned the Space Marines included into a Black Templar army. I’ve bought every model, just about, except I’ve not yet bought High Marshal Helbrecht, though I’ll probably buy him next week. I put together the Space Marines and Necrons easily enough as they are all push-bit fits, and didn’t require glue/cement. I’m both excited and terrified to put together the others, especially the Redemptor Dreadnought, and to start painting them. The issue is that I demand perfection from myself constantly - I’ve never painted a mini before yet I expect them to turn out as well as someone like our pal Squidmar here, even though he’s been doing this for years. It’s gonna be difficult for me to accept that I’m just not going to be as good as I want to be, at least not until I get some real experience under my belt. Thanks for this video, Squiddy, and thanks for your others as well. I’ve learned a lot already just from this video like how I can easily fix the stupid gaps that came up from the Command Edition Space Marines. You’re pretty awesome, my friend; don’t ever stop being awesome. Edit: I forgot to say that I bought the Black Templar Army Box from eBay (brand new and unopened for only $100!) so that’s how I have so many Black Templars already, and I bought Chaplain Grimaldus from Amazon yesterday, and some others from my local B&M gaming stores here in Harford County. When I find a new hobby I become ridiculously obsessed with it and spend way too much money on it, haha. Edit 2: I know what you mean about your eyes not being what they used to be - at almost 45 I can no longer read small print and see small details. I bought a table magnifying glass with light with a nice, long neck and I think that’ll be a huge help! Final edit (probably) - does your poor wife let you kiss her after you stick the paint brush in your mouth?! 😂

Coloring stuff was something, that I've been always bad at. But after watching your Artists from fiverr video, two figures really impressed me. Mattilay and Erik Swinson (figure at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="85">1:25</a>) and this is the reason that I want to try it out myself, even if this will take plenty of fails without being able to paint it like that not even after years of practise. BUT I want to thanks for this informative videos, despite that I will a few more walkthroughs step by step before I try out my first miniature. I love the effort you put into those videos, in addition to the timestamps and all the links for the products. This is helping me as a beginner quite a lot. No need to say that I subbed this channel.

Mycket trevligt, din kanal bär lite ansvar för att jag började med hobbyn igen! Med skillnaden att innan målade jag för att spela turneringar, nu mest för att det är avkopplande även ifall man spelar lite av och till.

One of the reasons why I want to give this ago. Is to help me become a better painter. Sometimes I paint in my book or paper but maybe If I paint Miniatures I can get a good grasp of painting colour and light around a 3 Dimensional object. And also Painting Sculpture like toys looks FUN!

Some really good tips. Thanks for the spruce glue tip! One comment though- I think it's funny that the "contrast paints" give about the same result as what's called "glazing". But all you need after the zenithal priming for glazing is diluted acrylics for the base coat, and diluted acrylics with a little retarder for the highlights. The retarder makes the highlights blend better as it makes the highlight paint more translucent.
