I've never seen this and it's amazing.
you've inspired me to paint my entire ork army in this style. I love it!
The finished black and white makes me... moist. Gonna try this on a squad for the fun of it.
I didn't see this comment before now, but it's so good lol. Did you end up painting that squad?
This is probably the best use of Contrast paints I've seen. I particularly enjoy how it allows you to do and fix any inking prior to ever adding another colour to the model.
Huzzah,, top notch painting. Nice approach to cell painting.
Appreciated!
Looks even better in black and white.
I really like this. I’ve seen it done with Gundam before but this is the first time I’ve seen it done on minis. Very cool and interesting.
I really really love this style mate, I am going to try and practice this method a lot
Please do! Tag me on Twitter or Instagram if you post it there, I'd love to see it! @_epicduck
@@Epicduck will do mate :D
@Epic Duck Studios how are you able to fix ink mistakes so fast? Mine stays wet forever. Am I putting it on too thick?
I saw this on stream and it's amazing, one of mt favorites with captain america mini. This is what encouraged me to try comic book style.
That came out really well, thanks for sharing your work!
This is really nice. Looking forward to trying this on some one-offs. It looks like a fun single day activity. Thanks and well done.
Really good. Unique style. Thanks.
Bowtie Painting Studios here, I loled when you said you wouldn't want to go more than 10 models. I am running over 200 cel shaded models at this point. I love this. I have never done the black first
Yeah different strokes for different folks. My soul dies a little doing army painting in general, cel-shaded army painting would just make that worse for me ;)
The best tutorial ive seen on this style of painting. Definatly gonna try and get me that black ink and give it a try!
Let me know how it turns out!
I really hope you decide to do some comic book style videos of Infinity models. I think it would work amazingly with their manga-inspired art style. You're the best comic-style resource on the internet, keep it up!
My first ever 40k models (orks and gretchin) are coming in tomorrow and you've shown how I'm going to go about painting em this weekend.
Stunning! You sir have gained a subscriber!
currently trying this out. this is one quick method to go comic style!
Hope you enjoy it!
Interesting style. Need to get a suitable figure to try this style on.
Dooo it!
Awesome job
I have been looking for a way to paint something like a anomie or comic book thanks for posting this!!!
Such a big fan of this style! I'm curious, why do the black outlining step before applying colors, rather than outlining everything in black after painting it all?
I almost always do the colour first and then apply the black over it. Doing the black first followed by using translucent colours gives a very different finish. Different processes for different results, neither is right or wrong.
I think adding just drop or two of indego in the black ink would stop desaturating the black under the red.
Definitely worth trying
3 years, only 18k views… the algorithm is messing up with so much kittys
Thanks for video on how to paint in comic style. What size brushes are you using for the various black line work? I am looking forward to attempting this style with some test minis over the next few day.
Mike yes! I need an order 40k army this way. I’ll pay you in beer lol
Great tutorial! I plan on trying something similar soon. Would the new Army Painter speed paint work in lieu of the contrast paint? I'm not sure how similar they are for something like this.
Hi, awesome video! Can you tell us what's the other ink you recommend and why? Thx
This is so cool im trying this on a few things too
Let me know how it turns out!
@@Epicduck oh i will i tagged you in a few things already
@@jessedawg4693 sweet. On Instagram I assume?
@@Epicduck yes 😁
I use vallejo game color paints, I'm trying to find my style niche and I think this may be it. Is this paint ok to use for this style or do I need to buy some actual contrast paint to make it work?
Im really interested in painting my Eldar with this exact technique. Is there anything you would do different for the more elegant elven like models? Thinner lines?
Also how would you do black or dark colours in this technique?
Thank you for sharing and this content. Any thoughts of applying a "Gloss Varnish" on the white before the Black Lining? This may help the ink flow into the recesses? If yes, may we need to Matt Varnish before applying paint in order to ensure the paint may adhere to the model? I welcome your feedback.
I find gloss varnish makes the ink flow *too* well, makes it hard to stay where you want it.
This technique looks awesome do you use your own brush/pen or does the black ink come with a brush/pen?
I use a few different Artist Arsenal brushes from Game Envy for most of my lining - size 0 for the heavier areas, and 00 or 000 for the fine lines.
Im wanting to do this for my Space Marine Kill team do you have a suggestion how to go about the inking process with black armor? In addition is there a way to do this with normal paints and not contrast?
Great vid, super cool result. Does the Imperial Fist Marine is coming too ? I hope so, more comic book style ! Keep up the great work.
So funny story, I was *just* looking over all the videos I recorded in 2019 but didn't get to edit yet... and it's like, 30 videos. The Imperial Fist marine is in there, but I can't really say when I'll get to it!
@@Epicduck Take your time there is no rush, but i was waiting to see how you completed this beatifull marine. I have taken picture on stream, but i was wondering what a full tutorial would be. A comic book marine would be a blast knowing the interest there is on astartes all around. Keep up the good work !
Actually, I find the black and white version more interesting and entertaining than the coloured version Oxo
Would you say using fineliners can work for this style too?
This is awesome, any tips on doing this style of painting on something big like a Keeper of Secrets from Age of Sigmar?
Be really patient? That's honestly it. The bigger a mini gets, the more time you're going to spend black lining... it just scales up. Be ready to spend 10-20 hours on the project.
Would a brush tip micron pen work?
how would you approach the leaders cloak and fur for the comic style?
For the fur, I'd ignore *most* of the detail, and maybe outline every 7th-10th clump of fur, enough to suggest the detail without going nuts lining ALL of it. This is used a fair bit in comics - think of the scales on Captain America or Aquaman - they rarely draw every single one, unless it's a cover. Usually they're drawn either in a scattered way, or mostly around the shadowed parts of their costume.
For the cloak, I'd do something similar to what I've done with the line work here: th-cam.com/video/gWPGQr8u6Rs/w-d-xo.html
after this video it seems like you dont start with the black anymore is it because you dont like the new colour of the black after u apply a colour on it ?
Whats the painting handle your using please?
Hey, I'm pretty new to painting models, but I love this style and I'm using it on greebo games cutiemal models.
Any tips for getting a more black line particularly on big external edges? My lines look a lot more translucent than yours and I'm struggling to make it darker without broadening the black and making a mess.
What product are you using for your black lines?
@@Epicduck Higgins black magic following what you said in the video
@@heroicselfcoaching6087 huh, I've never had Black Magic be remotely translucent before. Are you thinning it at all? I use it straight, no water or mediums added. Just a few drops on my palette.
@@Epicduck I'll probably do some more tonight and see. Maybe I was spreading it to thin, but I wasn't thinning it. Perhaps my brush, or technique just wasn't quite right.
They look good and I'm happy with them, just not quite the blackness I expected.
@@heroicselfcoaching6087 I generally use a Sable size 00 or 1 from Game Envy for inking.
Try hitting your minis with a rattle can of Matt varnish before you ink, it's possible if your paint is slightly glossy that the ink just isn't adhering well so it looks translucent.
Give your Higgins a really vigorous shake as well. It *shouldn't* separate but it can't hurt.
If Higgins just doesn't work out for you, alternatively you can try Daler Rowney FW Black or Liquitex Carbon Black. Cuttlefish Colors is also releasing a new high-flow opaque black paint appropriately called "Duck Sauce" in the near future that's meant to be a replacement for these inks.
why are you using black ink in the first step? which benefits has it compared to a normal acrylic paint?
nice video, very inspiring
Sorry for the delay, didn't see this comment! Black ink is a truer black than most black paints (which are typically very dark greys/blues/purples) and it's much more consistently opaque. Black paint often requires multiple coats whereas ink is "one and done". Ink also flows more freely from the brush than paint does, so you spend less time picking up paint from the palette or rinsing the brush, and that also makes doing small consecutive lines (cross-hatching or hatching) easier.
So first off this looks amazing, second off I'm curious if you've ever thought about doing this with something like a black 3.0, third I'm not sure doing this on a full army is actually any worse than paining a army with a lot of trim details on their armor though I absolutely cringe at the idea of needing to use black outlines to separate all of the trim from all of plates etc on a chaos model.
Black 3.0 is no more black than black ink - it relies on matteness over ffs surfaces to appear extra black, but the effect kind of falls apart on miniatures and it just reads like a dark grey paint tbh. I wasn't impressed with it for miniature work.
@@Epicduck I've seen someone use it for a terrain video that came out last Halloween, it worked really well there, but I'm not sure if they were brushing or spraying it on.
you think this general style would work on the hellboy board game minis?
Sure would, the Hellboy video is already in my channel ;)
Did you undercoat white and then dry brush white?
The first white was the primer, but it's not quite as vibrant as I'd like so I hit it again with the drybrush.
I have a question on the black ink. Namely, why use ink for the outlines instead of just paint? What advantage does the ink have over using black paint?
Great question! You *can* use black paint, but black ink has a few advantages. Generally, it's more opaque and flows from the brush for a longer time - so when you're painting a lot of long lines or parallel hatch marks, you don't have to stop to reload the brush or try to get a second coat on a tiny little freehanded line. I also started using ink for this simply because it's what traditional comic artists use, so it made the experience a little more authentic.
I've had a lot of students try using both inks and paints for this, and every single one has preferred the experience of using inks.
Higgins Black Magic, Daler Rowney FW Black ink, liquitex carbon black, and even Speedball Super Black are all good choices.
@@Epicduck thanks for clarifying. Seemed counterintuitive to me because generally I know inks to be less opaque so I was wondering why you would use them :D maybe black is an odd one out then.
@@johndoe920 black ink is generally incredibly opaque. Artist inks (like Daler Rowney, etc) vary in how opaque they are due to the pigments involved - those with a Titanium White or black added tend to be more opaque while the pure colour pigments tend towards translucency. They're altogether different products from "game inks" some hobby paint makers create that are intentionally translucent because they're meant to be used as detailing washes.
@@Epicduck I use Schmincke inks but I gotta admit I never thought to try to actually use them like paints. I mostly make my own contrast style paints from them. So I wouldn't even know how opaque my black ink is :D guess I gotta try some time.
@@johndoe920 Schmincke are hard to find in Canada, but I've heard good things. Try it out!
Do you thin the ink at all?
Nope! Straight from the pot to my wet palette.
What about that little underworld model behind? 🤔
That was painted on my Twitch stream. There's a few left to go in the group though, so I'll put one in the queue for here :)
