Thank you for putting words to the way I tend to airbrush my highlights. I prefer the cloudy day look to the extreme contrast of a spotlight. After finishing the video this is the perfect video for they way I paint my marines since i have gotten an airbrush recently.
Happy to see a new video from you! Please don’t let TH-cam translate your titles to German. I‘m sure it’s not what you want it to be and I don’t see the original title.
OMG this is amazing. Going through my pile to find the perfect minis to experiment on. One day I'll "get good", but learning and experimenting is still always fun on the path there. Love your tutorials.
Great video, I've been doing this a lot more with my Death Guard lately, and white ink is glorious. Outside of direct airbrushing I use it instead of water to dilute my white acrylic paint and it's fantastic
Thanks for another great video. It was very helpful to see your spot vs wrap demo. I usually get heavy handed and over do it, so the tip about fixing it with a speed paint is appreciated.
Speed paints make awesome color filters with an airbrush. I'm in the process of doing some Dungeons and Lasers tiles with them over a zenithal + light drybrush preshade.
I used to worship at the altar of white ink (DW, then Liquitex), but I have abandoned them in favor of Tamiya Flat White. Properly thinned, it provides much smoother gradients than white ink, and has a more durable finish. I have had acrylic inks reactivate when applying other paints over them. I love this technique though; it’s similar to what I use for Alpha Legion. I find it’s best to thin the contrast/speed paint to give yourself a little more control over the balance of metallic and color.
Sadly, I don't have an airbrush so I typically use rattle cans for priming. I just recently got the Pro Acryl Matte White Primer and for a zenithal it has been doing beautifully!
I call this the “Lyla Method” and you would be pleasantly surprised to see how well this works when you add streaking grime to a larger model like a tank.
The automatic TH-cam title translation is interesting 😆. The german Title is : "Süßigkeiten Finale" , in german at has more the meaning for "final candies". Now i want eat candies haha
Thank you! You were a huge inspiration for me to start my own channel and its been an absolute blast! Going great and I couldn't thank you enough for inspiring me.
It seems like this technique is for mica-based metallics. Some companies use aluminum which acts differently for base coats as it doesn't let light through.
So from the light source a metallic armor is blue , but from the shadows is purple? why not get a blue metallic paint from AK or some other brand and layer it instead ? what about those who dont have airbrush ? could a silver spray can , and an addition of a speed paint (blue) have similar results ???
I think a spray can would likely come out too uneven and speckled, but that could give it an interesting texture. If you're looking for results closer to what Lyla got in the video then I'd suggest drybrushing the silver on and maybe diluting your speed paint 1:2 or 1:3 (maybe even 1:4) to maintain a more transparent coating
If you can afford it I'd suggest getting an airbrush though, you can find relatively inexpensive kits for about 30$-50$ USD that will give good results.

My suggestion would be drybrushing your silver on and diluting your contrast 1:2 or 1:3 (maybe even 1:4) with medium to maintain a more transparent coating.

Love the way you "drilled out" the Terminator's gun barrel 😂
Here's a tip for the week, appreciate the contents here. Take care in these dark times.

Came here to write the same thing lmao
Yes, the translation let‘s me think of chocolate not painting… great now I‘m hungry… bye now
I think it's a TH-cam thing, I switched the entire app to English because of that. Stupid "AI"

Great video, per usual! Thank you for the help!
Very cool! It's almost like the metallic "candy coating" I've seen some people do in the gunpla community. Definitely will give this a try!
I can’t wait to try this! 😃
Yay. White ink is amazing. My other favorite for shadows is Payne's grey ink.
I suck at painting so have been doing this for my tau for years 😂 purple metal ftw
I appreciate the airbrush safety gear shot.
This was excellent video, I love how you did the red on the Seraphim miniature. That was a fine metallic painting Lyla.

Great! Always glad to see tips on metallics!

I was told this is a candy coat. Though the source was a little suspect 😂. As always, this was an awesome video and topic.
thx for showing
Thanks

Sweet! New video time!
Watched!❤
In cars, this is called candy coating, and it's one of my favorite speed paint techniques.
What purple primer did you use?
What white ink do you use?
What brand of white ink do you use and where can I get it?
the Spanish translation of the video title is Final candy :D
Good video.
It's a little weird seeing the stubby old Terminators now that they've made "proper" sized ones...
did you use an actual primer or just paint for the primer base ?
A few years ago you did a non-metallic metal video that was very interesting - Have you employed the technique on any recent pieces?
Now this is cool! Even though I am all about honing my NMM skills of late, I will have to remember this so I can try it out when next I paint TMM.
What is the actual video title?
It seems like this technique is for mica-based metallics. Some companies use aluminum which acts differently for base coats as it doesn't let light through.

I hate that this is an airbrush technique. I want to see things I can do without one.
How would you replicate this if you don't have an airbrush?
My suggestion would be drybrushing your silver on and diluting your contrast 1:2 or 1:3 (maybe even 1:4) with medium to maintain a more transparent coating.

Stippling. With a brush, or sponge. I'd mix the speedpaint with the metallics, rather than apply it on top. But it's just preference.
