    Excellent video. I have been in the miniatures hobby since 1972. Black is my favorite color to paint. The easiest way to paint black: paint black, dip the tip of the brush in white - mix, highlight. Do this again, but using a little more white. Thin black at 1 part black to 10, or 15 or 20 parts water (1:10, 1:15, 1:20); once mixed, apply the wash. Done.
    As a lifelong animal owner (horses, cattle, dogs, cats, chickens, guinea fowl), hunter and fisherman, I can assure you that there is black in wildlife.

      Indeed! Thank you for the message and kind words. Absolutely, I love that you can mix that black for the shading/filter after highlights! I do that sometimes too. But That “serial dilution” isn’t easy for many who are new to working with paints. By the way I also work with animals and I agree with you depending on a definition of black.

    I generally use Black Grey (Gris Negro) from Vallejo, it has a good cover and give good results, plus a mix of Turquoise, Black & White for highlights, naturally it depends from the light and details of the subject.

    • @tangibleday
      @tangibleday  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yep, that's a wonderful base coat color! One thing I'd like to try is to use a very warm highlight at some point and see how that looks. I do think cool toned highlights look natural and give it the realistic black that I'm aiming to create. Hey, thanks for the note, I appreciate it!!!

    very simple. I use same technique but i use flesh tone or pink to bring the black color up for black leather or cloth. If I do black horses i bring the color up with a light yellowish sand color. Looks more natural to me.

    • @tangibleday
      @tangibleday  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Oh I need to try a flesh tone. Yellow works well for me as well. For this I used neutral gray as an example :)

    As in this video, ‘pure black’ paint like abaddon black or AP’s matte black are best applied in 3-4 very thinned layers over a primed black surface, for a flat result. However nowadays I just use Black Templar or Black Legion contrast, straight.
    In nature a common black is brown black (warm black with red or brown in it), as seen with insect carapace or ‘black cats’ when their fur is exposed to bright sunlight.
    For something like ‘eavy metal style black ork armour, I use stegadon green (it looks blue) as the thick highlight and sybarite green as the edge.
    Thinning a paint as a wash also works well to avoid the shine that washes sometimes add (use ball bearings to mix washes to avoid this).

    Thanks for great video! Using a lighter shade for base coat is new to me, very happy to learn about it.
    I have been thinking about black a lot lately after seeing the “Portrait of W.S. Davenport” recently. The number of blacks in the painting is amazing. Patent leather, cloth, silk … really neat. Check it out!

    1. Metallic prime.
    2.5 (optional) thinned blue.
    2. Thinned black plaint.
    It's a kind of reflective black in the end.

    • @tangibleday
      @tangibleday  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah I agree. It also depends on the kind of black material. Push contrast too high and it looks glossy black rather than matte cloth.

  • @kmaker5
    @kmaker5 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I'm just wondering.. would it be looking very strange if you would mix black with red instead of blue? Would it get more leatheri-like color?

    • @tangibleday
      @tangibleday  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Oh! Fascinating. I haven’t tried that. Give it a shot? I suppose the result will depend on how much red you mixed in. But a 1:1 ratio may not push it far enough for a brownish(?) color. Would be curious myself to see!

  • @jostonpowell1346
    @jostonpowell1346 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    From what I have seen in Vince's videos and Google. Paynes Grey is more blue grey than dark grey like your example.

    • @tangibleday
      @tangibleday  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hey thanks for the comment!!! Yup Payne’s Gray could be a tad lighter, but it’s made with black and blue mixed together. The blue I used is darkish and less saturated. The last shade step takes all of it to the black illusion effect you see here.

  • @Mr3xA
    @Mr3xA 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Hey looks really good, i'll give it a try. One question: Why didn't you use de pure black for bascoat the most deep shadows (lets say the darkest 10%) and then the paynes grey over the rest 90% and finish it up like you did? Wouldn't be there more depth? Thanks and keep going!

    • @tangibleday
      @tangibleday  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Hey, thanks for the comment! Yes, that would work, starting with a pure black basecoat, then lighten with Payne's Gray, etc. It would also add more contrast/depth. But, maybe that would add complexity to the process and may be a tad unreliable, since there appears to be an extra step (painting the pure black basecoat). Nonetheless, that would work, too and may look really good!

    • @maverickman6486
      @maverickman6486 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I would also say you want a step away from black because the black wash will take care of the pure black@@tangibleday

  • @TheMichaellathrop
    @TheMichaellathrop 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    So why did you choose darksea as opposed to just adding a little white to your existing paynes grey?

    • @tangibleday
      @tangibleday  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey, great question. Adding white to the Payne's gray I made would have been perfect, too. Except, it dried up in my palette and I didn't want to mix more. It's just easier to reach for a premade gray paint (darksea). And in principle, any lighter neutral-gray would be great for the highlight (using the dry brush application). When you do the last step, washing with the Citadel Nuln Oil shade, the highlight darkens down and the black colored illusion works!

    @jblade8028 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    great video but probably best to use actual artwork or still life to show as examples, not only because midjourney (or whichever) is pretty shit. but because in nature, the black colour we see is called chromatic black (i.e. it's made up of other colours), the subtle tinge really changes how the black can look. Pure black is almost absent in nature.

      @tangibleday  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1
