Very nice job on those minis! :) I'd say that wet blending is not hard, but *tricky*, there's a hang to it. When it clicks in your head it's actually very damn easy and sometimes becomes almost automatic, but before that it feels just weird, like "wait, you're rubbing these paints together? like, in the mini? what?". Videos like this that show the process simply and quickly are great!
@Zumikito3 жыл бұрын
Thank you! Oh yea, that is true, it is actually simple and easy technique with specific nuances that are difficult to grasp at first, especially when you find that paints interact with each other differently. For example it was easier for me to blend the skin here rather than the green suit

@connorjensen96993 жыл бұрын
top notch work, 5 minutes is definitely the right amount of time here. I think its worth mentioning that if you are worried about the under coat showing through (at least in my experience) a darker paint will cover over lighter paint better than the reverse. so if you lay down a light undercoat, you may want to put the light color further into the dark area than you would normally expect to. really excellent work!! instant subscription from me!

I like a lot your 5min videos: very informative and efficient format. I recently tried wet blending and typically use it on small surfaces with various tones of the same color, to simulate reflection as you show on the model: much more efficient than glazing in that case and on a small surface the effect is still satisfactory hence the best compromise en terms of result/time spent

I feel somewhat overwhealmed by all this. I started painting some minis, lots of people told me they are quite nice for a beginner. Now I do know about so many techniques, I have so much stuff here, so many colors, airbrush, every toy that is out there, light, flow improvers, brush cleaners, oh, brushes, tons of them....and now I just can't get myself into it anymore. I just don't know where to start. Choosing from the 200 colors is impossible, which technique, which mini...and don't get me started about that airbrush, that never works like I want it to work, and all that cleaning, those needles, omg.....it's a very frustrating hobby so far for me. I WANT to do it, it relaxes me deeply, once I started. But I can't start anymore, didn't paint a mini in 4 months now. I sometimes sit at my painting table and think "that's a nice mini, I should paint it!" I stare on it for a while, turn around then and watch videos about mini painting. Uff.
