Oh my god this is genius. I've been blown away by your stuff on Instagram, and you have done some great straightforward freehand stuff, but this is such clever outside of the box thinking. I have to try it!
Fantastic first video! Other tip on a spray effect - instead of a toothbrush, use a brush loaded with white and then slap it against a toothpick. Same result - no toothbrush sacrificed!
In a future video I think it would be cool to do a review of your first 6 months in the hobby. What were the best tips you got, what resources did you find useful, how did you learn to get paint consistency right - that sort of thing! Keep up the good work.
Spot on, as someone who has been out of the hobby-space a while and still only dipping my toe in it would help as I feel like I'm right back at the start again
Welcome to TH-cam! Excited to see what you have planned. I myself have only been in the hobby about a year and think it would be great to see like a recap of what was most helpful to get you here and maybe some next plans/goals you want to achieve in the hobby. Best of luck with the new channel!
Hey, just discovered your channel. the algorithm recommended you, but I remember seeing you at Warhammer Fest recently. Great tutorial. Not something I've seen done on a video anywhere else. Brings a great effect.
Another similar trick is once basecoated, do a solid coat of bright silver then use a scrunched up ball of cling film to texture. once dry do the usual candy coat of a transparent gloss coat and you have this really intense marbled candy coat. Alternatively if you use a shifter paint in place of the silver, you can get a pearlesent effect depending on the coat or even just go clear.
my alarm bells were ringing when you were talking about applying paints "thick" but then I realised this was for a specific technique. ha ha. looks great.
This was very cool and creative. I love it. I never thought of doing the milky way like this...funny thing is that i do use the same toothbrush effect for blood splatter. Never occurred to me that i can do it for stars as well. Thank you for the great tip. Liked & subscribed.
Hi. I am not a good painter but will attempt this nearly every other painting tutorial type thing I have seen has lost me but I will attempt this. Great first video as well 🎉😊
Great video super practical! I enjoy videos where I can be in pure amazement of the skills on display but videos like this make a difference to my painting. To me that’s really valuable. Thanks a lot 👍
Nifty idea - certainly fitting considering the resurgence that the Aeldari are getting at the moment. Might be a good way to replace the terrifying pattern work folks have to do on Harlequin leggings too!
Your content is so full of surprises xD you CASUALLY build a perfect mini-holder recycling the sprue?! For the future: i'm just happy to see what you have in store for all of us and do whatever you want to :) i'm sure it's going to be great. Thanks for the video
Really interesting and fresh. And I immediately start thinking how to adapt this. For instance: If you had a gradient as base...could clear paint medium without any pigment work as your base layer and you add the dots on that? So the gradient would still be visible underneath? I guess I need to try this as soon as I have a chance! Thanks for sharing!
I'd love to see you tackle painting an army and playing some.games with them....thats basically the journey most of us are on....that would also allow you tondo whatever random side line videos that come to mind while you're doing that. Also you have the same mannerisms as Villainelle from the tv series killing Eve, which is very cool👍
Cool technique and a great result! Good job! One quick thing, the audio is very quiet, especially the talking head parts. Try to have the audio hitting between -6 and -3dbs for a better volume level.
yeah i agree 100% the volume needs to be cranked up a bit to hear what you're saying... it would be nice if I didn't have to adjust my volume to hear what you're saying.. other than that though, great effect! I love it! Cheers
From Insta!!! More painting tutorials are always good, basic to advanced tips, I know you are learning the game at the moment, so maybe some videos of you at your local gaming place hanging out and playing.
Cool idea, did you tried acryl medium instead the black? It should result in a overall thinner finish, but anyway I have to try these technike :D Another idea I used sometimes, if you but paint on the string of the toothpick and slide it over a drying black undercoat you get something like polar lights
Great video, the effect looks brilliant. Been following you on Instagram for a while and you do some amazing work. Keep it up and look forward to more!
Oh my god this is genius. I've been blown away by your stuff on Instagram, and you have done some great straightforward freehand stuff, but this is such clever outside of the box thinking. I have to try it!
Impressed with your no nonsense solutions to the result you want. I still tend to overthink stuff like that.
Fantastic first video! Other tip on a spray effect - instead of a toothbrush, use a brush loaded with white and then slap it against a toothpick. Same result - no toothbrush sacrificed!

Agreed. Looking forward to more videos like this
Spot on, as someone who has been out of the hobby-space a while and still only dipping my toe in it would help as I feel like I'm right back at the start again
I’ve had two bikes sitting on my shelf for almost a year. I tried this and it worked perfectly!
Now just the riders…
Tips like this are great because I have no idea how to decompose how they were done afterwards but they look so good. Thanks!
And now I have an overwhelming urge to start a harlequins army!! Awesome work, looking forward to the next vid.

I very rarely use Instagram, and really only to store pictures of my mini's. Today was the first time seeing one of your videos. Welcome to TH-cam!

Love the toothbrush effect! Reminds me of the mordent earth glaze hack to make cracked volcanic effect.
Hell yeah, this is sick.
I don’t have Instagram but great to have new content creators and new perspectives on the hobby. Good luck with the channel.
hey! i ain't got no instagram, but more girls in minipainting is a good thing. it's nice to see you enjoy this. keep it up!
that's like a nice acrylic pour but on our minis! stellar!
wow. I'm definitely going to try this. the effect is awesome
Wow amazing the toothbrush thing is cool as hell! 🤘🏻
That is literally the coolest thing I have ever seen
Super cool easy effect, Glad to see you joining the painting community on TH-cam. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us!
Love the look of that. Those bike/speeder things look like such fun canvas' to try fun techniques on.
That is really super impressive, never seen that done before...
A sweet, simple and honsest first video. Nice one Sylva :D
Wow looks awesome definitely going to try this on the drukhari vehicles I'm getting soon
Wow that was way easier as i imsgined after seeing the thumbnail. Looks awesome
Great first video! Keep it going and can't wait to see where you go with this!
I am amazed! Such a simple, but brilliant technique I would have never imagined.
Great looking technique. Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to see how you paint the Troupe.
You actually found a use for corax white?!! Amazed
I've never seen anything like this before. This is amazing! Nicely done!
This was very cool and creative. I love it. I never thought of doing the milky way like this...funny thing is that i do use the same toothbrush effect for blood splatter. Never occurred to me that i can do it for stars as well. Thank you for the great tip. Liked & subscribed.
Hi. I am not a good painter but will attempt this nearly every other painting tutorial type thing I have seen has lost me but I will attempt this. Great first video as well 🎉😊
that looks amazing. im wondering what glazing gradients of darker colours over it with washes/inks would look like? inspiring video!
Sehr coole Arbeit! Malst du nur, oder spielst du auch 40k ? Grüße aus DE :)
New year new army just got a whole lot more tempting 👌
That sheme is brilliant! Gonna use it on my new Starweaver.
This is a great technique! Have to try it on some magicians robe
Incredible job and technique. Came across your channel by chance. Really glad I did. Great video
Very cool! Subscribed immediately in the hopes of more tutorials.
The best quick system I've seen
I love this look, would love to see more painting tutorials from you.
Great video super practical! I enjoy videos where I can be in pure amazement of the skills on display but videos like this make a difference to my painting. To me that’s really valuable. Thanks a lot 👍
Hats off to you with the free handing! I have trouble painting straight lines 😎
Hello from Australia! Love what you are doing! Keep it up!
Awesome technique with a pretty broad application/usage. Thank you for sharing and please stay safe.
Nifty idea - certainly fitting considering the resurgence that the Aeldari are getting at the moment. Might be a good way to replace the terrifying pattern work folks have to do on Harlequin leggings too!
Not quite a technique I would use, but very creative and I think it works quite well with the Harlequins. Looking forward to seeing what else you got!
Awesome effect. Won't be using it myself, but you did give me an idea.. thx 🤘
That was amazing, and I love the colour scheme, kudos!
Hi Helena! 🥰🐶 glad u maked a video 😁🐶
Very cool, loved this effect and the finished result looks amazing.
Like the affect of space looks cool keep up the good work
I never thought of doing that. It looks amazing 😃
Beautiful, you. Amazing, paint. Language, cleaner. Subscribed.
Came here from insta :D
Nice first video. Great camera settings and good sound. Looking foward to more videos 👌🏽😁
That is a really cool effect!
Love this, going to try it tonight. Thanks

Haha thanks so much! I’m definitely a lot less conventional than most here when it comes to hobbying…
Really interesting and fresh. And I immediately start thinking how to adapt this. For instance: If you had a gradient as base...could clear paint medium without any pigment work as your base layer and you add the dots on that? So the gradient would still be visible underneath?

Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely mesmerising
Super interesting technique and what an awesome, badass look !!!! 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼
That's really clever, got some bikes for my young un we will try this on. Cheers
Remember seeing this on Insta, love this effect! Though as great as it is, my favourite part of this vid is the homemade paint handle 😅
Way to go, can’t wait to see more content
July 2021? as in 7 months ago? wow, that's insane. My minis 7 months in offended my eyes haha Awesome work
OMG! That is a great paint job. Will look forward to seeing more of your work
I'd love to see you tackle painting an army and playing some.games with them....thats basically the journey most of us are on....that would also allow you tondo whatever random side line videos that come to mind while you're doing that.

You have that Phillip De franco style of editing.I like it ..punchy. no never heard of you but subbed !
Also 2:53 Duncan rodes would be having a heart attack right now 🤣🤣
Hello! This is very cool, I'm finally getting in on Eldar this year and may well straight up steal your technique! +1 sub.
Happy that you started a youtube channel, subscribed! 🥳
I like your video style, your painting, but most of all...i LIKE DAT SWEATER SO MUCH 😆
That's a cool idea. Might try with thinned paint and retarder medium so paint stays wet but does not end up so thick.
Amazing job Sylva, thanks for your video, go on and astonish us more!
Thanks for sharing this easy and impressive technique Sylvia. Subbed.😀
Nice video. Kinda Jackson Pollock-esque… Keep it up!
Congrats on the move to TH-cam
Pretty awesome trick!
Awesome technique!
To start off with I was like….wtf are you doing… then I ended with omg you are a genius!!! 😂
This looked like Eternity from Marvel! Loved it! Hello Instagram Fam!!
Thank you for sharing your amazing idea!! I love it!!!❤️
i love how funny you are. mixed with seriousness . @Sylvapaints keep rocking the tutorials
I.loved this painting idea 💡 keep this up please 🤗
Oeeeh, I really like the effect
Cool idea, did you tried acryl medium instead the black? It should result in a overall thinner finish, but anyway I have to try these technike :D
Another idea I used sometimes, if you but paint on the string of the toothpick and slide it over a drying black undercoat you get something like polar lights
I just failed hard trying a similar paint job on a cape so I'm going to try this style
Here from your Instagram! Great video!
Great video, the effect looks brilliant. Been following you on Instagram for a while and you do some amazing work. Keep it up and look forward to more!
Looks great!
I wondered if this comes from doing finger nails. And when you mentioned you could also beauty tutorials I guess I was right?
Amazing technique!
Welcome to TH-cam.
Nice idea that turned out great!
It really beats trying to freehand it all. (-;
Oh, and welcome to YT!
Class effect. Great work
very nice! thx for the technique!
That’s awesome more painting please 🙏
