Edgehighlighting is one of the skills and techniques in miniaturepainting that everyone comes into contact with. Games Workshop uses this miniature painting technique as a way to create intriguing boxarts for their releases, increasing contrast and readability of their miniatures. But this way is not particularly credible. with just a slight twist you can improve your miniature painting and edge highlighting massively, to where our brains perceive it as more "credible". Subscribe for mor miniature painting tips! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Another thing that goes really well with this idea is to try and do some drawing/painting of some basic shapes (cylinders, cubes, pyramids etc)it is a really great way to understand how light works, you can then translate that knowledge gained to bring out these sorts of techniques. It really helps as your brain immediately identifies where you would start placing highlights!
Absolutely!
Excellent point. If you really want to up your game, find other arts that do similar things to what you want with your minis. Getting into custom green stuff molding? Try out some basic pottery work. Doing more tactical paint jobs and conversions? Spend some time studying scale military modeling. You won't look at primers the same once you do. There's so much of this hobby that people think are new, which are simply staples of other artists, like oil painters. NMM or OSL? That's just called 'how you paint light' to an oil painter. They've been doing it for literally hundreds of years.
You summarised in three minutes something I've struggled to implement the last three months. Thank you, particularly the curved surfaces part should make edge highlights so much easier in the future
I appreciate the short, three-minute, format. Impactful and to the point. Much easier to watch and absorb.
This 3-min Tuesday format is by far the best content you have done! All the rest is also good, but this is so digestible and to the point.
Agreed
Keep this up
It's great. It's what TH-cam used to be
Wow, first time I have dipped in for a while, the production level has reached another level, awesome
Your channel has really taken off. Without a doubt, this is one of the best miniature painting tutorial TH-cam channels going. Keep up the good work.
Greta tip, loving this new 3 minute Tuesday series!
This is a great format! Thank you!
If I might add my 2 cents. Another thing to add to edge higlighting is dots or specs in the edge that are even brighter, also while edge higlighting you can not hightlight a little stroke along the edge.
This will achive variation that is usualy seen in edges that had been dented due to use.
Cheers!
Yes, yes...perfect! I do it all the time.
Finally a painter you tuber that understands not everyone watching is a award winning painter and we are just simple part time hobbyist
Sometimes less, is more.
Thanks.
Love the engineer's approach of breaking down big tasks into smaller, manageable ones!
This video showed up at a perfect time for me - new year, new army, and I don't have the patience for longer videos. Really like this.
Genius. In 3 minutes it has taught me more than hours of gw tutorials. Break it down to the basics man I love it
These short format videos really are good. So much knowledge imparted so quickly and so concisely 👍
I like these short videos. Very helpful tips!
Love your regular format videos but I'm really enjoying these new shorter videos too! Thanks for your hard work and generous teaching!
These videos are great!
Please keep ‘em coming.
This is really good. Quite a simple change from what a lot of people are already doing. Also in many cases trying to do this will be LESS work!
I'm really noticing the improvements in your videos. the lighting, the framing and everything. Great video.
lol. I guess it would be funny to talk about lighting on a model and have terribly lighting in the video.
I hope you find success with this format. While I love your longer stuff these videos are perfect for youtube. Keep at it.
I've tried doing this in the past to mixed results. Love seeing it explained so detailed and quickly.
Yessss, 3 minute Tuesday rules!!
Absolutely brilliant! As a photographer who is always lighting scenes and subjects, this makes perfect sense! Great work explaining a complex topic in such an accessible way - the mark of a great teacher
Excellent video, well done. Both in terms of format, information density and referring to logical next steps at the end of the video. Kudo's!
Confrontation, love the model range.
I really like this format. I can watch it would the kids are getting ready for bed and sometimes that's all the time I have in a day!
Excellent content and format! More of those, bitte, danke!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion.
I love this short format!
thanks!
Loving these short yet highly informative videos!
Yes-yeeesss! Almighty masterful-artistic Trovarion show-tell man-things edge highlighting in a quick-quick format.
So much to learn-try now! Thaaank you, oh great and wise-skillful Trovarion!
Me go catch-hunt and bring back my Clan's Rat Ogres now - you scare-surprised and chased them off with that "Whooo!". 😁
This is awesome. I will apply this to my Moon Clan set that I am currently painting (Rising Sun board game).
Thank you very much.
Great vid Trovarion. The examples and explanation were excellent
Loving these three minute series just as much as your regular videos. Hope that you have a happy new year Christof!
Love this three minute learning format. Great for a quick tip in between doing this or that.
Thanks for a great tutorial! I've got a chaos army with very exaggerated highlights, but I'll try this technique with my Empire army for The Old World
Great new focus idea
I like how you get straight to the point and give us good knowledge that helps. This is so useful, I just soak it up and I will try and apply it in my painting from now on. thanks for the tips!
These short videos are very approachable and helpful. Looking forward for the next one. Cheers.
I cannot stress how much I enjoy this format. Your more complex videos, such as that Blood Angel you showed, may contain more information. But this short and precise format makes it more easy to implement, especially for beginners like me. In my opinion, this should be a staple on your channel alongside your traditional content. Even just a few more to ease into complex ideas would be massively useful. Perhaps the 3 minute limit isn't strictly necessary, but this information being so concise helps it be much more digestible and easy to implement in small steps as you said.
The woo scared me haha
GOTTEM!
same thing happened to me lol
there isnt too much high quality 3-5min content in this nieche. this is a very good format, chris!
Great vid mate. I know a few of these situational tricks to use but nowhere near enough of them. Subbed.
Wait wait wait..... so you're telling me to think more and work less??? 🤔 thanks trov. Definitely going to give this a go on some space marines
Incredible summary
Love these short bite videos
What a great and well done compelling format with the "we're on the clock" element feel to it.
You always bring great value in your content.
This format seems like a nice focused piece.
great wee inspiring tutorial on lighting!
I love these videos. They do make me feel like I know zero (which isn't too far wrong hahah) keep up the great content
Damn mate, this channel is awesome. Im just starting with 40k anddidnt paint a single figure yet but i will try to take that all advice and try my best when i start painting my spacewolves. Cheers!
The community needs this video 😂. “Edge Highlighting - An Intervention”
Perfect, thanks!
I like the variation in both the longer videos and the short concise ones
Great food for thought, definitely something to keep in mind when doing these highlights. Thanks for the video!
I really love this short tip format. Thank you!
Cracking vid. Top tips. More please.
In love with this video Series, keep it up
i subscribed and hit the bell after watching this video, great job, thank you and i look forward to exploring your channel more.
This is a video style you should foster and build upon. I really like the new approach a lot my friend. You've made very good adjustments that complement your teaching style.
This is so helpful! Thank you!
Nice and concise
Very nice! Thx for this!👍
another great vid which I was able to learn new stuff , keep up the great work you teach so well
Great stuff as always!
really enjoying this format! super digestible while i eat my dinner or am waiting on something and dont have time for a 20 minute video, but still want to learn something new.
Thanks for another outstanding (and very quick) tutorial….it shows me how to get significantly better edge highlights that I probably wouldn’t have figured out on my own - thanks again!
Great tip and very succinct. Subscribed.
Great format! Looking forward to the next one!
Great 3min piece of info. Ty
These are so well produced. Amazing dude, well done.
Yeah the eavy metal style has just gone crazy with edge highlighting. Great points 👍🏼🤘🏼
I completely agree with this idea. For true highlights, EH does not need to be all over the mini. I get it people like it when GW artist do it but it’s not realistic. I second what is being said in the video.
awesome! (noob here, really like your content!)
Great post!
Really great content. To the algorithm moon!
Hope you had a great Christmas. This is another great video.
Happy holidays!
I use drybrushing for that.
When the basic colors are on the model i drybrush the edges with a very light grey.
Should make it Three Minute Thursdays as well as Two Minute Tuesdays! Love your content, really amazing tips so, thank you!
0:45 Just like you don’t learn how to add, then go straight into differential equations…
4:00 Something I stumbled on that may “shed light on the matter” is when I was taking photos during key points in the process. Turning my flash on, I would get a zenithal highlight effect from the flash on a black base coat (my first models were Deathwatch). From there, I would use a bright LED lamp, as my light source, then snap a pictures from various directions. This gave me my own references for shading.
I like to paint with contrast (lights, colours), but I don't like strong EH. It was nice to see that you don't prefer the extreme version just because a figure is small.
Im 80% through my first Black Templar miniature, i will put this into practice on my next painting session for sure! 👍
You‘ll make me paint spacemarines if you go on like this… got some termies that need some love anyway.
Trov, nice short video mate 👌🏻🔥
what i usually do is i create an edge highlight on all edges with a colour that is not too much brighter than the last colour i did. i then do more edge highlights with brighter colours on top of that first one to catch areas that would be brights, things like corners and curved apexs.
Awesome! Thanks a lot - another great Vid! 2 “Questions”:
* it would be cool to have a vid where you breakdown research. When I do this I sometimes do get confused / overloaded with information. A breakdown would be great!
* do you do trainings / workshops? I’m living in Hamburg and would love to join a f2f training at some point :-)
Awesome
These ray-tracing engines are so much better these days... ;)
This may be a weird piece of feedback, but here it goes anyway. In the shots where you are talking to the camera, there is black object in the bottom right of the screen. I (and I assume others) have been conditioned by TH-cam to get a 5 second notice before an add starts (right in the same spot and with a small black box overlay). I kept involuntary checking the bottom right, even though I suspected that it wasn't a notification. Maybe consider keeping that corner devoid of small black objects in future video?
Ps love these short pieces of advice
I will take that lesson to hearth on my many, many... oh god so many, necron infantries I have to paint.
good stuff
Please do a MUSIC mix for painting! Every track on your vids SLAP!
Yeah one of the best ways I've seen it put is 'you're corner highlighting'.
30 seconds in and I'm already asking myself "how did they do that?". That armour reflection is incredible.
I ever hated gw's edge highlight,too heavy,like a cartoon. You made it really smooth and natural. Good work!
Look like 3 minute Tuesday gonna have to move on down to four minute Friday.
Thanks for trying I’m done.
Give up painting miniatures, after 15+ year’s, still not even close to the magnificent work you and Vince, miniac, ninjon and the rest do. Thanks for posting.
I agree "neon highlights" take away from the overall appearance of a miniature. Painting, shapes, lighting, and color theory are all skills, not tricks. If you want the most out of your miniatures you are going to put the work into skills and theories of the hobby. I believe this is the true way to achieve your miniature goals.
