Edge highlighting is the cornerstone of Games Workshop's painting method, with their Eavy metal team, and their power-armoured space-marines always pristine and crisp... But is is worth doing?
In this video we're loading you up with so many tips and tricks you'll be able to learn how to edge-highlight, how to get away without edge-highlighting, and how to find your own middle-ground in-between, whether you want to just try it on a character, or 'cheat' your way through an army with drybrushed edges!

Check out the outro of the video for details on how you can win one of FIVE sets we're giving away, thanks so much for your support!
What I'd really like to know is how you would go about painting different textures (painted metal, leather, cloth, bone, etc.) using your more unique style of painting. I've watched a lot of tutorials touching upon textures, but none of them very in-depth, and the ones that are look very fussy and fiddly. Maybe you've got some suggestions or techniques in that regard? As always, thanks for a lovely detailed tutorial!
I know it's not exactly all that common but I'd love to see how you handle painting translucent/transparent bits on minis
I tried doing this myself recently and it turned out ok so I'd love to see a decent tutorial for that!!! Fantastic video as always!!!
Definitely - I've looked for videos for painting translucent effects on non-translucent models (thinking of translucent effects on Nighthaunt) and not coming up with much other than a guide or two focused on the Scinari Cathallar, which rely on the fact that the model is specifically designed to facilitate that effect.
For stuff like Fire Prism actually translucent bits I was just lazy and glazed them...
Honestly same
I agree!
❤
I agree with this, I’ve struggled finding many tutorials on this, great suggestion.
I'd really love to see someone who has not painted before, paint with Byron as a teacher. I think it may help highlight to people what your first minis may look like, and that you really can't "ruin" it.
Bonus points if you have them paint 3, and show the two they do after the first at the end of the vid. Just to show their progress in the learning process as they figure things out by just doing the thing after learning the basics! 👍
As someone returning to the hobby from a several decades break, I would love to see a full length video of a complete paint job. From selecting a mini, to selecting a colour scheme, to basing and a varnish coat.
Keep the great vids coming.👍
You might be interested in some of Artis Opus's older videos that cover some of these topics.

th-cam.com/video/S2vU3WenaBY/w-d-xo.html
Yes! I've been looking for something like that for the past month. Everyone seems to either skip the "boring" parts. I want to see how everyone base coats different parts of the model, how many coats they do etc.
suggestion: some tips about painting large organic surfaces, specifically leathery (bat) wings , maybe the shadow queen (morathi) ? or for 40kers Tyranid flyers I guess
A winged nazgul would be great 😇
I love the videos, and how you show mistakes and how to fix them. thats really usefull. I would love if you would detail what brush size you use for what. Sometimes its hard to know as a noob, if i should go with as small as possible, or if i should be able to do something with a size 1 or 0.
I would love a video on how to paint chaos deamons, or at least some of the work that goes into making rotten skin seem "slimey" and those effects.(organic effects)
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Huge fan I have a suggestion for a video. Can you make a dry brushing for dummies.. meaning show what it looks like when you have too much paint too little paint or pressure and show us what doing it wrong looks like. So essentially help me figure out why I can't even get close to the same planet as you lol😂
that would honestly be so helpful since i cant drybrush to save my life lmao😅
Absolutely!! I'm a total newbie so this is what I need the most! LOL😂🤣
Yep , Iv tried to follow videos but never seem to get it looking 🤌🤌🤌, very keen for your noob videos plz 🙏
I would like to see a full guide for painting a complete model (maybe just a basic space marine intercessor, something anyone can get their hands on) with these techniques. Split it into 3 sections. Here is start to finish for beginners, then intermediate, then expert. That way someone can follow along with a step by step guide and start getting comfortable with these techniques not just in theory but in application on a complete model. Love your stuff! I’ve been dying to get my painting up to a level that I can justify getting your brushes.
Agree 💯 I struggle to know how to move from one stage or process to the next and how to fix my mistakes
I would love to see a video showing you how you can incorporate new techniques you learn in your hobby into an old project you started years ago without the new models looking out of place.
I'll leave a comment...
For a while I struggled with my paint jobs...I watch hours of TH-cam videos trying to find a style/formula but never was happy. I came across the ultimate drybrushing tutorial and it did it for me man, felt good about my work thanks to you. So good sir I appreciate the time and effort you put into your guides. Thank you.
This video really helped me understand how little it matters for me to paint perfectly or not, because its so easy to fix it afterwards.
It also really showcased how going the extra mile will certainly lift it up, but its debateable if the difference is even worth all the extra effort, because i would have been already more than happy with the pre-extra-edgehighlighting step.
Also it made me order new brushes.
My suggestion: a video explanation of skin colors for both monsters or humans, or some Middle Earth related content would be appreciated as well 🥺
I would love to see a battle damage video. Or a video on taking care of dry brushes and Artius opus brushes in general. Also the uses of the Artius opus mat.
I agree!
Hello from France! 🇫🇷
I really love this video. It is one of my favorites of yours. Your pro tips, how you explain them, how you illustrate them, how you show them in action, how you edit your videos to show where exactly the action is... They are so good! I learn so much from them and they give me so much inspiration for my own way of painting. I used the one with the chaos shield to try and I had a really awesome and easy result on an arminger!
And this one was magically timed with my current thoughts about how I should load my brush as I have difficulties to obtain the results I want and I was talking about that today with my brother! 😊
I am always stunned by your dry brush technique and I really enjoy when you show them with use or comparison to other techniques.
But the most important part that give me so much joy is how you talk about mistakes, how to handle them how you explain why it's ok with so much positive attitude. I'm very perfectionist but I don't have yet the necessary control on my brush for it. But thanks to you I still stay motivated to continue to improve. Thank you so much for that. And I learn a lot from that. It give a "feel good" feeling when watching.
For future videos, I'm really curious about what you will show with an airbrush and I don't know if you have already done videos about cape or leather ones but I'm interested on techniques for clothes.
Continue your impressive work and I hope one day I will be able to meet you at an event and buy you a drink! 🍺😎
A few years ago you made a video about Drybrushing NMM. I would love to see a more detailed video covering that subject, maybe even with other colors then silver.
Fantastic video as always!!!
Would love to see a detailed video on how to use the texture palette, I know it seems common detail but just a overview and like do you spray it before using it etc also quick and easy way to do demons :-) Just picked up some brushes and can't wait to use them :-)
I'd love to see a video of object source lighting using a drybrush and how that compares to using an airbrush or glazing. EDIT: Basically a similar video comparison to this except following up on the osl for beginners and how different osl techniques such as using an airbrush, glazing and drybrush compare when it comes to time, effect, steps, etc.
I believe he already has an osl guide, but I assume this is more about seeing it compared to other methods which I think he doesn’t show in his guide.
Yup exactly, I should have clarified that better as seeing a comparison between the different techniques for osl similar to this video comparing drybrushing and edge highlighting@@duchoang5410
The one thing I'd like to see more is about how to manage the dampness when doing drybrush. It's always either too chalky or too wet, cant seem to have figured out how to get to the sweet spot. I know you made many great videos on drybrushing, but one that addresses this specific aspect, with many example both on how to do it right and how to do it wrong, would be very valuable.
I'm literally using drybrushing to do all my base highlights for my Raven Guard. Going from a base coat of pro acryl black and using their dark warm grey to do a highlight looks fantastic for giving making the shapes easier to see and giving the armor a worn look. It looks amazing
I could never understand why sometimes the paint on my brush would last way longer when highlighting until you described the flow of water on the brush and going down too close to the ferrule. Thanks Byron, I learn something everything I watch your videos!
Any opportunity to drop useful nerdy physics in is worth taking! :D
Our pleasure, buddy :)
I’d love for you to revisit black base color marines like your Black Templar video a few years back. I think it could use a punching up of nuance in the color variation kind of like you showed in this tutorial. I’d also like to see how you approach doing colors over metal base layers. Like you know, on a black Templar! Can you tell I want a new Black Templar video yet?
Congrats on 100k! 🎉🎉🎉
Love the video it is very informative on the highlighting
The last highlight really made the exhaust vents stand out as if the light was reflecting on them
One of the things I would love to see is brush husbandry I.e brush cleaning techniques and brush care
It is not something you see much what soap should you use ectra
Hey, I'd love to see how you would drybrush batch style, so like a 5 man squad. Which bits you would do first, what order etc etc.
Oh that hasn't been done in a while. At least not the same model. Good dea
I would like to see a video on making undead / decaying effects and rust really down and dirty painting. Thanks for all your videos
Honestly would like to see you fully paint a model! These tutorials are great but would love to see a step by step process on a full mini!
Great video and great channel! It kills me how many skilled painters on the 'net "shun" the use of dry-brushing and washes. While certainly not useful for everything, there are many things for which washes/dry-brushing are not just merely the fastest way to do it, but the best way.
I’m on my holiday but I’ve got wi fi so glad I didn’t miss it . I would like to see a tutorial on NMM , but specifically on where to place the dark and light spots and transitions in between .
Also I fell on the floor laughing when you said “ your prob better than me “ your so funny 😂😂😂
Hey. I’d like to see the process (order of things) you use for painting a whole squad/unit/army. Including bases and transfers. Thanks. Keep up the good work. Love it.
Personally for me..
I'd love to suggest a video on how to pick colours that go together and such. With recommendations of the different colours that are basically the same.
I tend to go for Box art, or follow specific colour schemes from tutorials, but I'd like to venture out into trying my own colour schemes or improvised ones. But I have no idea of which colours fit with which colours, and how to implement them to make a miniture stand out, instead of looking weird.
I'd love to see a video about how to pick a color scheme for your army.
not just going into color theory. but also a how-to find inspiration and a guide on how specific details on the models can rally elevate your results if you consider them in this process.
I had a hard time doing this for my Votan army but, I settled on Calador sky and standard mechanics grey as a base with screaming bell highlights as I painted the Hekaton land fortress.
Not to steal an idea for Byron but somebody once suggested looking at sports team colors. They often have a three-color theme.
I would love to see how you approach a model with lots of recesses. Something a Necron Reanimator, with lots of overlapping areas.
And thank you for all your videos. I have only starting painting in the past couple of months. And your videos have helped no end!
A video or series on planning an army paint scheme would be very handy. You could discuss which painting techniques and colours you would choose for different areas of the army i.e characters Vs troops plus basing techniques. All weighing up speed Vs quality to get a whole army painted.
First of all, thank you a lot for this great video, as all your ones!
My suggestion is you could make a video on your drybrushing style applied to miniatures with lots of small details of different colors close one to the other. How do you organize and plan your drybrushing steps? You can do all with a small drybrush, or you have to switch to a classic brush?
I'd really appreciate a video on how to make weathering of non-metallic surfaces look really good. Mostly textiles, leathers or any kind of skin or rock would be nice :)
I'd like to see more about how to weather while also using technical effects / textures. Thinking about things like flaking paint over rust with texture.
I'd like to see something like water spray or wet armor on a full marine or item. Like if it was a hard rain during the fight. Yeah a hard rain and extremely muddy terrain. So hard the rain splashes up from the mud making the armor even muddier. Like the best rainy football games or like their slogging along trying to take a hard objective in the soup. Even half faces or helmets covered in mud with small chunks of mud and grass and grainy bits. I've never seen that done. Maybe even ultra realistic or grim dark style but without all the messy oil covering. Something more precise rather than just slopped oil layer hiding the paint. Love the channel! Thank you. I'm late to the party so if you really like the idea can I get an honorable mention? :)
I think something focused on accessibility would be great. We have a lot of painters who struggle with finer details due to this or that health reason and showing how you can work around some of that would be really interesting. There are already some TH-camrs in that space, but I think this channel's usual style could bring an interesting twist to that and help bridge the gap between "GW-style" painting and what some of those other channels do.
Couldn't agree more, great suggestion!
THANK YOU for this one (and so many others I have been binging)
This kind of 3 Levels video - Level "Table ready", Level "Display Ready, and Level "Freak your friends out" was super helpful - And thank you for keeping mistakes and how you fix them in.
With your insane dry brushing skills, I would LOVE to see a similar 3 or more levels video, on taking Slapchop to higher and higher levels.
Doing better dry brushing, using stippling to fake airbrushing fades, etc. and as you did in this one, go all the way to adding edge highlighting.
- Please, make us the ULTIMATE "Dominate Slapchop Levels Guide" 👍
This is a great idea Martin, you might enjoy the next video we release, it's not exactly that, but it's taking our skele speed paint method and pushing it to tiptop max
Since I found your channel I've gone back and improved on my drybrush combined with my airbrush which I'm loving.
I have to admit I keep coming back to your videos and learning more and more.
I tend to like metallic paints and would like to see something that would help with osl on high reflecting surfaces. Again and amazing video. The best part is how to fix the mistakes... keep it up
Always great content. Love the fact you leave in the mistakes as it shows you make them as well. Would love to see a vid on how your brushes are made. Cheers
I'd love to see any tutorial covering blending with speedpaints. Just got a huge set and I'd like to know anything to enhance them honestly.
Yes that would be awesome to learn more techniques for speed paints !
Suggestion: Help to choose your colors/scheme ?
When I paint minis I often run into the question of, which color do I paint this brain, eye, pouch, base, (insert part to paint) in order to either make it pop or go with the rest without necessarily being the same color. Or how to choose highlight/midtones/base tones colors combinations.
I remember it was touched on during the painting carapaces where you showed a color wheel for suggestions of the WOW factor color for the carapaces. I'd love a more in depth explanation of why some color combination look stunning while others feel like too much and a hot mess. Which would help a lot with overall scheme selection as well as giving coherency to a mini while still maintaining apparent complexity in colors.
Would love a recap on saturation, vibrancy, brightness and the jargon that appear in many painting videos as well.
Thanks for another amazing video! I love watching those longer formats, very relaxing and helps me a lot with my learning journey in the hobby! I resumed a year ago and super happy with my progression thanks to all the great ressources online :D
Suggestion: I'd love to see you do a 5 man squad using drybrush, to help us all get an army on the tabletop quick, but to a good quality using your drybrushes and techniques (You could give yourself a time limit to do all 5 for the video too).
I think Custodes would make for a good one to do as they are dripping with detail and you can get a range of different models from one box of 5 Custodian Guard.
For example, you could have one be a Shield captain with cape etc, one guy with a Vexilla banner and one with a sword + shield, the other 2 could Spears etc etc.
Ive always wanted to know how I could get my Custodes on the table quicker. But I don't want to compromise too much on the quality of the paint job.
I'd love to know how to make them look amazing and make their capes etc really pop too 🔥
How to magically assemble and paint ALL THE MINIS (in my backlog - without having time to sit and paint)
These are great videos Byron. Anything that hammers home the technique is great, as well as common pitfalls. I love seing different factions painted.
Still just one of the best channels Ive seen online, the level of hints, tips and knowledge you share are amazing.
Ive come across a few models with clear weapons and parts, Id love some advice on how to approach them if I should be approaching them differently or not. Ive avoided painting a fire giant completely as I just dont know what to do with the flaming clear sword. :D
look forward to the next video
Great video as always! Brush care I think is something that people might benefit from, I know I would! Cleaning a drybrush between colours, and sessions to make your brushes last as long as possible, and not have colours mix inside the brush. Love the tip to 'remember to breath' - if you're not holding your breath, are you really painting minis?!!
What a fantastic tutorial on improved drybrushing - also appreciate the mostly real-time step-by-step guide with no jumpcuts!
If there's a chance to do a tutorial on OSL without an airbrush (if it's even doable to an okay standard) that'd be amazing.
Thank you, and keep up the amazing work!
Check out our video from last month, we've got you, buddy! Thanks so much for the kind words
@@ArtisOpus Awesome, I will check it out!
Great tutorial! I have always edge highlighted stuff because that is how I was taught and my main armies have always seemed to have black as a main color scheme (Raven Guard) so it was just natural for me.
As to the question of what I'd like to see next, and forgive me if it has been done already I am fairly new to the channel, is a tutorial on weathering. Whether that be pigments, sponging, or anything else I feel that weathering is an amazing tool to take your models to the next level.
Thanks for the vid. I tend to just stop before edge highlighting. Will go back over some models with these tips
Hello, would love to see a full army video. Something with a unique color scheme. 👍
I really love how you approach the subjects in a realistic way. I'm not new to mini painting but have recently begun stepping beyond the "battle ready" level of completion, experimenting with advanced techniques and making some display-worthy pieces. Edge highlighting was really intimidating (still is) but it was really nice to see it explained in a supportive light. And the brush-edge tip was really good.
Speaking of brushes, I'd like to see a video (if you haven't made it yet, I'm still going through your roster of content) explaining how to use and care for the tools of the trade. Like how exactly does a texture palette work, how to clean brushes beyond a rinse and dry, etc. I try to take care of my materials as best I can but it'd be nice to get something a bit more comprehensive.
I’d love to see a video on highlighting weapons! I’ve watched videos on NMM, but I’m not keen, and I haven’t seen anything on how to make true metallic metals look really awesome. Just about every model has a weapon, so it should help everyone.
This video was really useful. I now need to just practice, practice, practice!
I would like to see how to paint wet and shiny-looking things like gems and liquids. Spilled oil. Oozing pipes. Etc. loved this vid btw
This video is so insanely useful it's hard to fully express
I would love more videos on large, flat surfaces like vehicles asks large creatures without a lot of texture to help you out. Do you edge highlight? Zenithal? How do you keep it smooth and with less visible brush strokes?
Since I’ve been watching your videos, I’ve realised I can do 90% of my edge highlights really quickly with a drybrushing and then finishing with a brush. I’ve been making a lot fewer mistakes, giving me a far cleaner look and saving masses of time.
Really useful knowledge about how a brush will behave when edge highlighting with the side of it at 25:05 something I’d never thought about or appreciated. My suggestion for future videos is to continue sharing these gems like you always do! Fantastic stuff. Thank you!
I would like to see another NMM tutorial with drybrush. Maybe with more steps or examples. Also, I would like to see more of "How to paint" of different armies with more than 1 unit of each army and is a fast tabletop way so there is something like a tutorial to have an army painted fast with the techniques you use on your videos, which I really like. Thanks for your work, I really love it!
Excellent tutorial as usual. Thank you.
I think a fun video could be on different contrast/base combinations with “exotic” color effects. For example yellow contrast over pink giving an orange/brown. Together with light pre-dry-brushing the approach gives some neat highlights/shading with easy steps. I’m guessing there are some other cool & surprising color combinations.
It would be nice to see a video with tips, suggestions or techniques for hand stabilization to to help people with shaky, or trembling hands.
I would absolutely love to see some funky color-blends, like green to orange or blue to pink, for some more magical minis.
Lovely video thanks so much!
This is super handy and fuels aspiration, thank you.
As to a request, I’m not even sure how this idea would transfer to video tutorials, but I’d love to see your take on deciding on a colour scheme, and then applying it across an army of varied units.
I'd love to see a video about time-efficient painting and what things to do or avoid, since I feel like I'm often spending way more time on a mini than what I see here or in other channels with way less detailed results. I often hear "you can do this in 5 minutes" and I'm like 20 minutes in and it looks nothing like it 😅.
I'd love to see a video on using pigment powders - TH-cam painters never seen to use a pigment setter, they just dollop it on.
Otherwise a video on using texture paints like the snow and ice ones on bases?
Would be awesome to see you coach someone who would be a beginner painter live/time lapsed using your methods to a tapletop and show case level paint job!
Hey, Byron - I love your videos! You're miles better than me and yet you go at everything with such humility! I'd really like to see how one would handle drybrushing and drybrush stippling on models with lots of sharp pointy / sticky-out bits. I'm almost done putting together a team of Phobos Space Marines and there's a lot of antennaes and auspexes that I feel might really get in the way and I'm honestly terrified of getting started on painting them.
Congrats on reaching 100k! I'd love to see 'A Day in the Life' or a 'How to Make More Time for Your Hobby' type video! Byron seems like a busy fellow with a lot of irons in the fire, would love to know how you balance Element, Artis Opus, and whatever else you might be working on.
Sincerely, thank you for all the great content. Literally taught me how to paint. So excited to see what y'all do next!
I am new to the hobby but I am loving it. I love dragons so I’m edging towards stormcasters I have watched you painting them I would love to see more on the blending of scales to skin on the dragons like from there soft under belly to there armour scales and there wings please never stop making these videos they are bringing so much to so many I have looked at the brushes but funds don’t allow them I’ve just watched your basing video to that was very informative and helpful.
Would love to see you paint a squad of 5 minis just to see how you go about organising how you would paint one after the other to get a squad on the tabletop as fast as possible to a good standard, keep up the god work team.
As someone starting to learn to paint with limited use of hands, these are fantastic. I am so slow and not by choice. This technique gives me another option to get models done. It would be awesome seeing you do a cold white, White Scar. Since you asked ... why not ask. I can paint one and it takes forever due to hands. Would be interested in your take on the ask and suggested how to
Love your content always! I'd really like to see a video covering how to pick and use complimentary/contrasting colors on a mini without them being too glaring or overwhelming... If that makes any sense
Love the videos. I would like to see more videos on colour theory. When painting I find I want to make my models more dynamic but am a little concerned the colours I am working with are not functional together. So tips on balancing colour choice and how to select elements to add to the dynamics of a model.
Thanks for your videos!
I really struggle with colour theory as it just is not intuitive for me. If you start watching Ninjon's video's he does some amazing things with it. Byron's RLS video covers at a very high level the color wheel which I found super helpful. But getting more in depth would be super awesome.
I'd really like to see a video or maybe a series from concept of army colours picking the right ones for said army, how to use, highlight and shade the colours right through to a finished and painted army/miniature from that army scheme 👍
Picking color schemes always gives me fits, Would love to see a video on this subject
I would love to see you going back to the big vehicles and how dry brushing can fit in with other techniques such as air brushing to get your vehicles completed to a table top standard.
Higher level dry brushing is my go too since returning the the hobby and it's thanks to your videos that I'm able to do that, albeit still nowhere near your level but model by model I'm improving. I find that it give such a solid gaming level miniature. I also like to start by air brushing to get some early highlights in. My biggest issue is the control on pin point placement. Some times I get my PSI and paint mixture right and it's spot on, 30 mins later it's like I've never painted before.
how to clean dry brushes, or how and what black linig is. I think that would be a usable and helpful video. keep up with the amazing work, looking forward to more content
I kindly would like to see how to handle a wet pallet properly. I have one, but always have too much water on it I think. Not sure if I should use it at all. A video with your approach to that would be awesome.
Great detailed stuff in your videos in general. Thanks for that!
Thanks for adding the little beeps (kept thinking I was getting a txt lol). I would luv to see you paint Sanguinius, I have him but currently too scared to paint him. Seeing how you tackle him would be awesome. 👍
I have been painting my tau with a metallic paint scheme. Warm bronzes highlighted up to gold with non-metallic purple glazes in the shadows. I like the look, but when I tried some drybrushing to pick out the details, flecks of metallic end up spotting on the otherwise dark areas where they really stand out. I would love to hear/see any metallic specific tips for drybrushing, even if it is just "There are times where drybrushing isn't going to be best", or "be more careful".
With normal paints, it feels like drybushing works a better as the paint particles are so much smaller beyond the range your eye can see, but with the metalics, the metal flakes are big enough to be spotted. I am using vallejo's game air line, maybe there are other metallic paint likes that would work a little nicer, that could also be a handy video, seeing if there are certain paint lines that work better or worse for drybrushing.
Mr B, thank you for this. I HATE edge highlighting though I tend to be a tad lazy to go into so much detail as you. Looking forward to more vids
Well done on hitting 100k subs. Now to hit 200k 😉 Would love to see weathering on a wide variety of materials on small minis
God I love this channel. I leveled up so much since I’ve been subbed.
Getting motivation to hobby. I'm pretty sure a lot of hobbyists have this issue from time to time, definitely myself included so I'd love to get some advice or tips on how to get out of a hobby slump. Any small/quick wins or palette cleansers to get you back into the swing of things.
As always enjoying the content!
Great video Buron. Edge highlighting is definitely one of those things that you improve on the more you do jt, just have to remind ourselfs we don't have to donit on every surface like the GW pics!
Id love to see a video on making seamless (and easy?) Blends between 2 or more colours, best/alternative techniques. I know you had done contrast paint examples, but maybe using standard acrylics?
Great video as always! Id love a video on basing your mini and making a mini-diorama
I've just gotten back into the hobby after 20 years, and I have to say that channels like this are just amazing, and makes it so much more fun and accessible.
As for suggestions:
I'd love to see a video on 'the use of color', and how colors complement each other. There are so many default color schemes out there but I'd really love to come up with some of my own (particularly for my newly purchased Aeldari Combat patrol, as most of their color-schemes are kind of gross), but I just have no idea where to start. I have no jumping off point, if you know what I mean. Having an experienced miniatures painter talk me trough some key aspects would be amazingly useful.
Thank you for the channel, and keep up the great work :)
Congrats on the 100k - I'd like to see some LOTR related content or minis, maybe horses, or alternatively some more army horde painting videos as I really like the breakdown of planning and how you can intelligently skip unneccessary steps while still getting a great finish.
I've already got my series D and texture palette so feel free to skip me from the prize draw!
I would like to see more of the contrast highlighting techniques you did for the nids carapace video. They looked great. But can it be done on a space or other miniature with larger smoother surfaces?
The explanation and images for how water moves along the brush were helpful. More information on little technical details like that would be great to see in the future!
I always enjoy watching your videos, please keep making more! I haven’t come across videos that show how to finish up a model once the painting is complete. I’ve probably just not come seen them but usually the video ends with “now that it’s done, paint the base and you’re model is complete”, but for me it would be good to see how to finish a model once the last paint stroke has been made. Maybe, even show different options for finishes and the various products that are out there and how to use them to achieve what you want. Thanks!
Video covering comparison between Slap Chop and other painting methods, highlighting the pros and cons of the methods, while incorporating the use of contrast/speed paints, base paints, layer paints, etc., pointing out how these paints work with the painting methods (pros and cons again).
This was mind blowing. Thank you VERY much, I've found my reference for what I want to aim for in your video.
@@ArtisOpus I'll definitely try to not spend that much time on highlighting, but your balance between the two is gorgeous to me as I don't want to aim for eavy metal style :)
Anyway, I'll follow many of your other videos/tutorials as I'm sure I'll find something to learn in those.
Thank you for sharing your talent/passion, it's a treat for us mortals :)
Congrats on 100K! That is awesome. I'd really like to see a series on all the forms of free-hand artwork I've seen in Warhammer. Checker boards, banners, text, etc.
Great video (as always). - I would like to see a video that shows you how to get great results without use of an airbrush. This could be how to seamlessly move from shadow and light on a model using a brush or how to create spotlighting effects with a brush. I want the most out of my painting - but don’t have an airbrush or the confidence to buy one as a complete novice to that style of painting. A general coverage of techniques that are effective in mimicking the results (as best can be expected) of an airbrush with regular brushing, glazing or dry brushing would be amazingly helpful. Thanks.
Gratz on the 100K! Still trying to drybrush as good as you, but your work on the Aeldari Flyer changed the way I look at big models. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Great tutorials! As somebody starting out I find your videos the most helpful, a video I’d like to see is one that gives advice on where to start on what techniques to practice before others in a building blocks or fundamental kind of way.
I make a lot of mistakes when I am painting minis. It took me quiet a lot of time to correct them. I used a contrast paint for some models and it was frustrating to apply the base colour and then again the contrast paint.
I would like video on how to avoid mistakes and how to easy correct mistakes with contrast paint.
Thanks for your videos. They give me new views on how to paint minis.
I would love to see much more of your Drybrushing. I really would like to get better in it
