Incredible end result, but I love your videos for cramming in a not inconsiderable amount of technique and colour theory into short, digestible videos and topics. You’ve quickly become one of my favourite TH-camrs in this mini painting space, and even though I’ve been painting for years, I always feel inspired to try something new after your videos.
Man! This is a great education in painting and color theory. Thank you for this. I'd like to ask, which Liquitex Acrylic Gouache colors would you use for your cyan, magenta and yellows if you were trying to recommend a core set of colors for someone to start using?
Out of curiosity, have you tried using a white like titanium or even zinc/mixing white along with acrylic inks to get your tonal variety? I've got so many different brands of paints, then went and got several inks. I was wondering if I can use those inks with a good quality zinc white to get more color control for the places I need it, then go back to some pre-mixed model paint when I just want a quick consistent color.
You absolutely can mix any acrylic with any other kind -- so mixing acrylic inks and paints should be no problem. One application is using inks to thin paints when you want a liquid consistency but all the oomph of an undiluted paint -- particularly useful for freehands!
I know the fluorescents are the star of the show, but my big takeaway from this one was using your colour palette to make up a suitable brown. It's so easy to go to bottled brown and give it no thought. A small detail but something that's going to stick with me.
It'll all depend on what you want. Very high value pastels like 'sand' are great for keeping some saturation in your colour as you mix up a highlight. Mixing whites offer extra opacity without too much saturation loss, plus they aren't as finicky as titanium white (you can add lots without messing up the colour). Titanium white is good if you need a cool highlight or just a quick fix of opacity and value.
Extra internet points to whoever is first to spot and identify the kitbash addition. Other than the skull-nado there's only one :D
you mean the skull in his hand?
@@patryk9354 well, that's a start, but....
Looks like the hand and skull from the Necromancer miniature (a personal favourite).
@@Legba24 that's not it I'm afraid
Is that a genestealer cult magus' hand, holding a skull?

Really means a lot to hear that! Thank you!!
Your videos are a boon to a complete novice, dropping in the colour theory and explaining your process is a real treat for me
Thank you!
It's good to have more videos showing how to paint with less colors and more mixing. I really like how he turned out.
Thanks! More videos like this on the way :)
Learning so much about colour theory from these last few videos, cheers!
Love to hear that!
Great theme for Eldrad. Fabulous finish. Thanks for making and sharing 😀
Thank you for watching!
If there is ever a time for super likes, it's when the space elf lord himself appears! Awesome work as always
Will, too kind! Thank you, buddy!!
Absolut bang on applied color theory content! Great to see!
Thanks so much! :D
Love it!
I think something similar on my planned commission would be super cool.
Also need to get my hand on those golden fluorescent paints.
Superb!
That background really sells the illusion...who knew!
But seriously, very impressive and very much your style!
:D Thanks, Paul
Beautiful work
Thank you! 😊

Love to hear that, Marc! I have a tendency to stuff my videos with a pretty random grab bag of ideas, so if anything is sticking, I'm happy!
Second question.. any experience on how zinc white/mixing white compares with using like sand white or other high value colors for highlights?
It'll all depend on what you want. Very high value pastels like 'sand' are great for keeping some saturation in your colour as you mix up a highlight.
