After using this method my blood drops look a million times better and more constant cheers legend yewww
That’s awesome!
Great you found the process so effective 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing! I think I can use that technique for all gems. Much appreciated!
Excellent guide, I'd been doing lenses but wasnt sure how to move on to these tear shaped stones. Used your guide as a reference to do other colors and it turned out great.
Thank you, really glad you found it useful.
It’s one of my earlier videos, so the production level isn’t the best but I’m glad you were still able to follow the process and adapt it to use it for different colour recipes 👍
Another enjoyable, information based video. Thank you.
Thanks for watching
Glad you found it useful 👍🏻
Much obliged for sharing the mechanics of brush magic. They look so real!
Thank you. Glad you found the video useful. Hope you'll sub to see the many other videos I have planned :)
Thank you so much! I just needed this as I started painting my BA army!
No problem, I hope you find it useful. Be sure and send me pics of how you get on 👍🏻
Yes!! This is what I needed! 😊👍🏻
Great! Let me know how you get on
Great video great painting skills . Thanks
Thank you, this was immensely informative. My blood stones went from looking like crap, to life like. Cheers!
thank you! That's so great that you found it useful.
Please do spread the word about my channel :)
Really useful thanks!
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching
Nice little tutorial :)
Thank you. I'm still struggling to paint in focus on camera, especially this close up, but I'll keep practicing ;)
Thank you.
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
What basecoat color are you using? I need to know, it looks amazing
Quality 😍
Thank you.
Just came across this recently and I gotta say that the end result is amazing. Would this also be applicable to other kinds of gemstones?
Keep it up man, you're doing an amazing work.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.
Absolutely, this approach will work on any gemstone.
Work from dark in a top corner to bright in the opposite bottom corner and add a glint and you’re sorted.
Do you have advice for how to paint the little blood vials seen on some blood angel models?
Thank you for sharing! Been looking for a great technique for my blood angels! Though I have to ask. How come you dont add gloss to the blood stones?
Thanks for watching, glad you found it useful.
I don’t tend to add a gloss to the gems because I already paint on the white dots for the light glinting.
By making it glossy I find it spoils that effect by the real world gloss glint.
If that makes sense?
Of course, if you like the gloss look, go for it 👍🏻
Looks great. Is it reasonably straight forward to get a similar result on smaller stones and for example the blood drop on the BA Primaris shoulder pad? Thanks
Thank you. Absolutely, the process is exactly the same. I only picked this one to make it easier for people to see the steps.
There’s a pic of a BA shoulder pad gem on my instagram painted the same way, if you can check it out? Brushstroke77 on Instagram :)
Would this sort of technique also work for a similar effect on space marine eye lenses?
yes, 100%
why not use spirit stone red gem paints? just curious. I have them just haven't used them yet.
Thank you very much for this video! Fantastic way to paint these blood stones.
However, it is not always easy to follow you, because the focus is not quite right and the video is blurry, but I guess this is criticism on a high level :P
Keep it up ;)
Thank you
I agree with you about the camera focus and I am sorry.
I’m still very new to painting on camera and I am trying to get better with Aeschylus video I do.
I’ll keep trying, because I want my videos to be as good as I can possibly make them
You wouldn’t happen to have a Vallejo equivalent list would ya?
I don’t have all the Vallejo equivalents, so I can’t confirm that they are true matches, but this is the best comparison chart I’ve found.
Hope it helps

fantastico
Thank you 👍🏻
Tutorial for this awesome Blood angels?
Just finishing the editing of it... so stay tuned 👍🏻
As a bit of constructive feedback, could you please level the audio volume. The outro was very loud after I turned you up during the tutorial :)
Thanks, appreciate the feedback.
I’m still very new to all this video making, so I’ll see what I can do for sure 👍🏻
For once something that requires several colours and i actually have those colours 😭😭
Multiple layers to build up a solid color.
Space hulk squad has 150 gems, so that's 450 coats. Great, they are black now.
If you’re after a quicker, table-top solution can I recommend painting them a bright silver, wash them with a black to add gradient and then glaze with red (or whichever colour you’d like)?
I would have preferred that you demonstrated this on a real blood drop found on most marine minis.
But instead you choose to get the biggest one available that is also flat instead of the curved ones found on most armours.
...almost as if you are not able to pull this of on a smaller scale.
It does not help to know how to paint this on a large surface, if it does not translate into reality. You could have just painted a blood drop on a piece of paper in any scale, if you just wanted to demonstrate the PATTERN.
It would be the same to me, if you released a video on how to paint the eyes of a 25mm mini and proceed to demonstrate it on a 1:1 scale bust, just because its easier to film.
Nice but bad focus...
Thanks man
Completely agree about the focus.
This is one of my earlier videos where I was still trying to get to grips with painting on camera.
I think I've gotten better with filming now and I certainly try to improve things with each video I do
If you check out my Titan video;
th-cam.com/video/jVAty0c7_5E/w-d-xo.html
I think you'll see my focusing is getting better :)
Thanks for checking out my channel though, much appreciated
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides It's great stuff. Keep it up!
@@faidon90125 cheers man, I will.
Hopefully, I’ll managed to get my video production to a level I’m totally happy with. Until then I’ll just keep trying to improve 👍🏻
focus your camera ffs
Sorry about the focus.
I’m still pretty new to painting on camera. It’s really not as simple as you’d think.
Have you tried it?
It’s an area I’m working on improving though
@@BrushstrokePaintingGuides its ok bro i kinda sound like an ass in my comment.
