What Is your favorite painting technique?
Dotting ! .......... . . . . . . .
My favourite is glazing and I always use at least 5 layers to a highlight. Try to get a lot of contrast .... even to a point where the lowest is black and highest is white..
As you should!
What is dotting!?
Do you glaze like adding a filter?
dont normally comment on vids - but how you described glazing and layering made something click in my head, think ive been looking at these techniques in the wrong way for a long time haha.. great vid, will stay tuned :)
I would like to thank you for being such an excellent teacher. This video is gold for beginner painters
I've been painting for 15 years and this is still incredibly helpful!
After watching dozens of mini painting video's, I'm finally painting my first one!
I'll be sticking with your videos to guide me through. You're the only one I've come across to actually explain how to thin the paint.
Thank you, I do my best!
You explained every technique really well but your cat was the real star of the video :D
Painting again after a long absence is what I'm looking forward to.
As with the last video I watched from you, no word of a lie, leaps and bounds more helpful than any other tutorial ive seen since starting painting. Felt stuck and bored and this allowed me to try stuff out for myself, understanding the basics and just applying them. Why do other youtubers not bother with the basics, when clearly, many of us are just starting out painting? Well done, seriously. Subscribed.
Nice video, i finally get what wet blending feathering and loaded brush are :P
So this is was i understood:
1) Glaze (just thin paint, more or less)
2) Feathering (Glazing but on make the glaze on the model)
3) Wet blending (Feathering but with two wet colors)
4) Loaded Brush (Wet blend but on the brush)
:P
I like your videos! I keep coming back and learning new things each time; and I've been at it since 1983!!
TY for leaving the crazy cat I could not stop laughing. just 2 min in. love it ..
Thank you! I love my cats, they are full or mischief and chaos!
ok watched it all now and just wanted to add..it was a great vid you explained it all rather well. one of the best I have seen. please keep up the outstanding content. I am going to try the things you showed as i just usually paint to table top standard. thank you for the video., it helped alot.
I know right, it was so funny I literally could not stop laughing. I'm crying here. It was one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen on you tube. I've watched the video 11 times now just to see the cats antics and it keeps getting funnier every time I see it.
Nice video. The explainations were clear enough to try directly. Thank you !
But I'm not gonna lie, when I heard "and most importantly" at the end, in my head it was like "don't forget to PAINT MORE MINIS" !
I think this is one of the best tutorial videos I've seen. Thanks so much for this advice, especially for giving each specific tip its own individual video section. Those video timestamps are extremely useful. Even though I'd seen a lot of the techniques, I was having difficulty putting "names to faces," so to speak (for instance, I'd heard of glazing and I'd heard of the color-blending technique, but giving a specific definition really helped). I'd never actually seen the loaded-brush technique at the end before, but I really liked the cranberry-looking color gradient.
After the seventh video on layering (what I was looking for) from different mini-painters, I found this video that had so much helpful info; not just on layering. The thinning paints explanation was SUPER useful. Thank you for the clear explanations and visual demonstrations. Top 10 best videos for beginner painters I've found so far and one I will be coming back to over and over again.
I'm just going to start thinning my own paints, as currently I get my partner to do it... Thank you for this video, will be good to learn all these skills, in time :)
I really enjoyed the work you put in on this tutorial, different methods of painting techniques … special effects.. I will watch it over and over till I perfect it… thank you.. from Aiken South Carolina.✝️❤️🇺🇸🤠😎😸🙀
Sound isn't bad! I'd say check your "squeeze" or compressor settings and maybe dial those back a bit? Try it, see what you think!
Thanks for a the tips--I REALLY (and I mean REALLY) appreciate the "when it looks like this, it's right, but when it looks like THIS it's wrong" kind of approach. I'm still struggling with loading the brush correctly, but this helps! Thank you!
I’m literally working to update my audio right now! It’s by far my greatest weakness.
This was super useful - I had misundestood some of these. Not anymore!
Excellent advice! Thank you
Great tutorial. Thanks!
Great editing and video. Thank you
I am a beginner at this painting and it,s helped me a lot
This is my go to "brush up" video.
Ty
I just found your channel recently and I love it! The beginning of this was mostly redundant for me but there were plenty of cool WIPs to check out. Wet blending is something I struggle with so that was super helpful and loaded-brush is something I'd heard of, but hadn't seen but I'm super excited to try now.
I hope to see a lot more from your channel in the future!
Great video! Thanks! Watched over and over again....
Great explanations. Thanks for making the video.
Thank you, Lyla! your videos are always informative and helpful. I really get a lot out of watching and paying attention to what processes you use. I find them very helpful indeed!
Great work as always. Timely (for me) and super accessible.
I was looking for how to do the lining technique ❤ Lyla saving my life every time. Love your style and the totally unpretentious approach you have to explaining this stuff!
Thanks for explaining layering! Dig the pyramid analogy.
Your videos are amazing. Thank you for your wisdom!!
Very helpful video, thanks so much for posting it.
Thanks very much for the tips well explained!
Congrats on the views and on the growing channel!
Really understandable explanations, excellent work. 😎
Thank you for making such a complete and informative video that introduces all the painting skills.
Awesome video, thank you so much!!
Yeeeeah someone who I can understand from start to finish! Thank you for sharing your clear concise video it's been a joy to watch. Don't you just love cat's lol, we have 5 of em. Take care 👍😷👍🏴
I have been looking on internet for days for someone to help me start painting thankfully found you. thank you Tony
This was super helpful for brush loading, thanks!
great section on thinning paint, likely the best i've come across!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm very new to painting and this video gave me the courage to try layering. It's not the best result but something "clicked" and I kinda understand the process. Thank you for helping me imrprove! I will check out more of your videos for sure.
Very good explanations of Painting skills
This is some good detailed painting tutorial.
The diagrams and visual aids you include for each technique are so helpful! I also really appreciate the level of detail you go into for creating the base coat: I've never seen it described so well before!
wow this is beautiful
Unbelievable skill
Great! You make things so easy to understand, thank you!
Very interesting. You made it all very interesting and informative without being boring. Thank you!
Nice job on breaking down the sections. I've got a few friends interested in starting to paint their gaming figures I think this is a perfect starting point.
Awesome, thank you very much for showing absolutely everything from how paint looks too thick or too thin!!
Again, thank you very much!!
Thanks for another great video, with such clear explanations of each technique :)
Thank you so much! All of these techniques were so clearly explained!
Nice video. Keep up the good work!
ive watched tonnes of vids on ALL of these subjects but finally you have combined them all AND explained them clearer. Thank you!
Thank you for the informative video and clear explanations. This has been extremely helpful!
Excellent video Lyla! The wet blending is what I want to do more of. Thanks.
probably the best tutorial on thinning paints. great work.
Just started painting this month. Excited to try out wet blending and glazing! Thank you for sharing!!!!
This is a fuuuuuucking blessing. Thank you so much for the "load up the brush" suggestion. Your Layers is awesome as well!
Great video. I love how you hold your brush when detailing.
Great overview for a beginner like me to see the different techniques in one video. Thanks a lot!
Great vid, Thankyou.
Easy decision to subscribe! Amazing tutorial, keep it coming 👌🏻
Very very newbie to mini painting and love your channel. Really fab hints, tips and techniques
Again, your video does a better job of teaching me than all of those other channels. I like them, they're awe-inspiring, but this channel is just inspiring, something they're not.
I'm looking forward to trying wet blending. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for this. I’m new to painting and have been searching for a tutorial like this for a while now. Thank you so much.
Now if I could just find this good if a video about airbrushing I’d be golden.
Great video, thank you
Hi Lyla, thank you very much for your hand work on these videos
Great video!
Love everything about it (the fun, the explanations, the chapters, etc..)
+1 sub right here!!
Thanks for this, I've always been a big baby about thinning down my paints. This gives me a bit more confidence to give blending a try. Cheers from Canada!
Wow. That was a massive amount of info in one video. Thanks.
You are first to finally explain to me difference between base and layering and what layering is. Thank you so much for these great videos!
catching up on your posts, you give such good advice to both newbs and established hobbyiests ou def get it
I just found this channel and love your videos. Thanks so much! And Mochi is the cutest!!
thanks for this, it was very helpful
Loved the explanation of what the different blending techniques are best at. Just starting out, and it clicked on a few lightbulbs.
Thanks! And here's a like, comment and subscribe. Hope your channel blows up quick
This is excellent! Worth it's weight in gold for effectively condensing all these techniques into one clear video. Also your painting is really excellent.
Wonderful and informative, thank you so much!
New at this, enjoyed very much.
Thanks for your videos. Lots of great information about the hows and whys without babbling incoherently. THANK YOU for that. You made a subscriber out of me.
I've watched a lot of videos on these topics, so maybe its just finally hitting me, but they never really connected like this one did. Thank you!
A wonderful guide for beginning and intermediate mini painters. Some of the best explanations of terms and techniques that I've seen yet. And a good documentary of the chaos that is cats.
This video is pure gold! Thank you for this!
Nice! I'll probably send newbies to this video since it's basically a fantastic glossary of these terms!
Lovely! More useful info than the last 6 videos I've watched combined.
Thanks for your useful channel, I'm definitely excited to try some of the things I've seen in this video.
Regards from Perth, Australia 👍😊
The snowplow analogy was really helpful, thanks for that!
very nice usage of hue/saturation shifting
I have watched other painting tutorials but your videos are honestly hands down the best thank so much please keep posting more I am working on a new kill team squad and thos really help up my game thank you 😊
Thank you for this video! I've been trying to learn the various blending methods but have been struggling. Your advice of using the belly of the brush I think is the key I was missing!
this is a super detailed tutorial!
good vid, nice technique demos. Also... Good kitty!
Great video.
Amazing you have given me the urge to try wet blending and glazing again 🙌🏻👏🏻ty
Just stumbled across your channel... you do great work, i hope you are still active
thanks for the lesson and explaining it so well... it will be a big help at the bench!
For me the best thing is zenithal highlight, as my hands love to shake I am pure trash at edge highlights so the spray can that is now replaced by an airbrush is my savior, and the wet palette, it is soo out of this world amazing.
Zenithal priming, yes!!!!!
I tried this and white drybrush before putting a basecoat.
Black spray from underneath, then grey spray, then warithbone spray, then white drybrush everywhere.
Finish with contrast paint. And that's all.
(I can't do a proper highlight to save my life...)
@@TheSzybas yeah, when I was reading about it first I was like yeah this can't look that good, but then having tried it I was like damn that is pretty good with minimal effort.
Thank you so much for these! I definitely have anxiety over just putting any paint on a model but I know painting more minis is just going to help me
Youre the best, thank you!
