I think that “chalkiness” from the dry brush technique is perfect for that and actually adds to or help “sell” the fiery burning hot effect. Great job on this and idea
If you want to get rid of the chaulky texture from dry brushing, don't use a paper towel to remove the paint as this pulls the medium out of the paint and leaves the pigment dry behind causing the chalkyness. Instead use a dry pallete as it will remove paint and pigment at the same ratio. Hope this helps 😁
To mitigate the chalky texture dry-brushing can have, don’t wipe your brush on a paper towel. Wipe it on a dry non-porous surface. I use a cheap plastic cutting board. Keep a sponge slightly damp on your work area, and rub your brush lightly into it, but not too much. The dry in dry-brushing is misleading, and where the chalkiness comes from.
I was wondering when someone would call me out on that lol. You’re absolutely right about the fire. My idea with this was that the heat was originating from the tip and radiating downwards. Thanks for the comment! 😄👍
@@nopaintnogains948 I'm painting flamers right now. I've been looking at allot of fire. Lol. Your painting is leagues ahead of mine though. I only tried zenithals for the first time this week 😅
@@jamesmorss9940 Thank you for the kind words. I still consider myself a beginner but love sharing the things I learn as I improve in the hobby. If you have an instagram share your work. I'm always curious about how others progress in their painting over time.
I think the nuln oil might just dull the colors making it less fiery. You could mix in a bit of metallic paints to the other paints you are using and see if that adds the metallic effect you are looking for. I’ve just not tried it before so I can’t guarantee it will work.
I have a question, how would you paint a burning blade where the fire was white? I’m asking because different colored fire determines how hot it is and I’m sure that white fire is the hottest and I wanna use that for one of my character’s power swords, so what would you recommend?
I’ve yet to paint a white power sword but I would paint the core of the power sword in white and use light glazes of a light blue or bluish gray to distinguish between cooler and hotter sections. Painting white is very tricky because you don’t just want a white surface, it’ll look too flat and boring. So you have to add some type of shade to increase contrast. Thank you for the comment!
@@nopaintnogains948 thanks, and would purple work instead of blue or is there a way to mix white, blue and purple together in a fiery design for the fiery sword?
I use aluminium foil on my pallet so it's always clean when iv completly got dry paint all over it and it's not usable any more from painting projects I don't hav to clean it. just take the foil off it, crumple it up and throw it away, And put a new sheet of foil on it and thumb down the depressions
Here have a like from a random viewer who got Your vid recommended by YT (I know shoking). I use the same methods for painting power swords. I would recoomend to switch to a different paint range since the ones You are using are VERY chalky and You can get smoother results with other brands.
Thank you for the like and the advice! I agree, the chalky texture is pretty rough with this method but I can’t bring myself to wet blend a whole unit lol. I’ll definitely try out Vallejo or Kimera to see if it makes a difference (just need to get my hands on some lol)

Thank you for the great comment. Happy to hear you got some good out of it. Let me know if there’s anything else you would like to see a video on.
Bro this is a lifesaver

This is almost exactly what I just commented! Fair play, sir!
THIS IS SO SO GOOD
this was exactly was i was lf :-D no fancy airbrush, no wetblending etc slick and quick :-D
Damn tried this techique and love it. It's extremely quick and easy, while having great result.
Beastmode. This makes me want to paint
Holy Moly thanks for the video that quick method saved me Hours
Glad to hear you found it useful. 😁👍
I really like it.
The chalky texture can be attributed to lava, so lava blade.
You can do it also for bases, for the same effect.
Yes! It works very well for quick lava bases.
Love this one! thanks for the tutorial :)
Large legend ❤️

@@nopaintnogains948also dab your finger into your paint water then mix that into the brush
Gonna use this for Guilliman's Sword, great tutorial.
Just awesome !
And you earned a sub! Wow you’re good, great style of explanation and diagrams
Awesome, thank you!
Amazing! I lover your kind of painting and creating videos! You got 1 subscriber more!
Awesome
Earned a sub ! Awesome
Painting heated metal? That's hot.
fire is hot on the inside and colder on the outside, looks nice but it'll look better the right way round.

I'm so used to seeing it this way It makes more sense now. I originally thought the same thing though.
You got a sub from me. Needed a good power sword. Thanks
Thanks for the sub! Happy to hear the video was useful.
would you recommend going over it with a coat of nuln oil afterwards to add a metallic effect, or do you think that would ruin it?
I think the nuln oil might just dull the colors making it less fiery. You could mix in a bit of metallic paints to the other paints you are using and see if that adds the metallic effect you are looking for. I’ve just not tried it before so I can’t guarantee it will work.
Чудове відео!! Дякую!!

Purple would work as well. I would go for a light purple and slowly glaze to the opacity that I’m looking for.
FIRESWORD!!!! Would you say you were... all fired up to do this video?
So fired!
I was caught watching this at work, I got Fired
How long have you been painting because you seem very knowledgeable on painting.
About 2 years. I’m still fairly new and still learning a ton.
@@nopaintnogains948 Still you have a lot of experience and talent keep up the good work.
@@nopaintnogains948 you reeeealy learned a lot in two years!!

That’s a great idea. I’ll have to try it out sometime.
