I’ve been painting for 20 years now. Done a few golden daemons in the early 2000s. I have watched all 3 of your videos and I like this style and want a new adventure. I will be adopting all these techniques as I begin my journey into airbrush!! Oh and your presentation style for some reason really resonates for me. I like it a lot. You are quirky and intelligent in all the right ways! Keep it up!
Love the cut aways, the hrs of editing paid off. Diggin' the psychedelic color schemes (on these and on those ghosts on instagram). My vote is for terrain next.
Most youtube hobby instructors: licks cadmium yellow off their sable hairs, blasts ink directly up their noses with airbrushes Dana: full hazmat gear when using glue (And you’re right to do so)
I really can't figure out who can disagree your tutorials... these are PURE GOLD for me. A LONG time ago I won a GW Golden Demon and I was also into CMON Annual 2003, it was an "era" when glazing but also a good layering technique were not already "discovered"... now after many years of "not painting" I'm back to this passion and I thing, I repeat, that these videos are absolutely great. And you're a wonderful pro painter! All the best from Italy... take care! Fabio
What I love about your videos is not only are they informative, the way you and your personality come across with such charm and character. I think that's what brings your audience and viewers in, just the general feel you have in your videos. Never stop making content. 🙌
Thank you for getting me back in the hobby. You've been the best inspiration, and i've probably watched that tutorial 10 times from start to finish. Thank you so so much.
Dry brushing, dry humour, how dull would life be without either.... great tutorials, entertaining, engaging and informa.... wait, I need another e-word..... extremely informative..... ugh!.. facepalms himself..... keep it coming Dana :)
I like your approach of looking at the art style you want, it really makes the minis more like a painting than a game piece. With the yellows and greens you chose here, based on the box art, the minis have a very Frank Frazetta 70s/80s atmosphere to them. They're very much of their world and I enjoyed that. Your video skills and presentations are really coming along! It's good to see you feel more natural and and free to riff a bit. It adds to the viewing beyond your excellent painting ideas. Thanks for the hard work!
Haven't touched my dolls in 17 years, yet here I am: Spending my few hours of domestically approved screen time meant for gaming on watching you win the wonderful world of people doing things on youtube. You have a great brain.
digging the color theory and art lessons mixed in. As a non-artist it helps understand why certain things work and why others don't. Keep it up. Do both the Beasts and the terrain.
You put so much work into your work and these videos. Don't change a thing. You have the perfect amount of explanation in the steps you take us through.
That's my ASMR fix for today. Yes of course the model making and painting lesson is again... nothing short of superb, delivered with excellence accompanied by her wonderful unique humour.
Thank you for showing how to remove and assemble the minis from the sprues. One of the reasons I've been so hesitant to get these figures is because I've only painted fully assembled models before. I feel much more confident in my ability now. Also, your videos make me smile and horses are the best!
I've been model making since the 80's. A couple of film commissions, as well. You have done a fantastic job introducing folks to model painting. You connect to people in a real way. Keep this up. This is simply perfect.
Dana. Thanks so much. I just received my first airbrush this weekend. I’ve binged all your videos. I’ve watched most more than once. I’m working on the basics now. I just play your video and play along. You’re doing an awesome job. I look forward to all your vids to come. Keep up the great work.
Modelling assembly, along with any conversions, are my favorite part of doing minis. :) Midwinter Minis sent me here, I enjoy watching your videos, and you've helped me step up my glazing game.
I got this boxset in my basket... and now this colour scheme and techniques gives me a great reason to buy it! Though it looks long and tricky.. but Im sure it will be worth it... eek! Fantastic job and really well explained... my journey awaits!
It's a pure delight watching your tutorials Lady H. You're the glazing genius we need. If you also do your own editing, which is a treat to behold, then I tip my hat to you even more. Regardless, thank you for these fun filled enlightening videos! Your minis are a work of art.
I have been collecting and painting since the early 1980s and you explain process better than just a out anyone. I normally watch the videos on my TV precluding me from making comments. But I felt compelled. I love your videos and I hope you continue and persevere . You are certainly unique and a breath of fresh air. Please continue.
I watch this like I watch Twin Peaks or Dont Hug Me I'm Scared. I dont even need the tutorial but the subtle surrealism is great. The respirator for plastic cement, the "to which I have no real response", " ive never iced a cake" and the way you speak like a hostage reading a script, its amazing!
I love this channel , this is the third video I've binged this evening. The result you get from these tips is exactly the kind of stylised look I want to achieve. Plus the overall style and presentation of the videos has had so much thought into it - soft lighting , sunset/hotline miami style colour palettes. Just so different and refreshing. Good job , I've watched thousands of hours of painting videos and this is right up there.
One of the best examples of under shading/colouring in action I've seen. I think I've come away actually understanding what it's all about this time, subscribed! So glad Midwinter Minis pointed me this way, keep it up!
I think you did an awesome job, Dana and I've never seen anyone really use the style of art from the box cover as the basis for how they paint the actual figures. You have a very artistic approach to this project, I love it!
I really enjoy the format of the videos, it's just about the right amount of time to get all the information across at a pace that isn't overwhelming, a terrain painting tutorial would be amazing, the blue-purple terrain behind you looks really eye catchy and awesome! thanks for the videos I'm learning lots of stuff!
I completely sucked at hand glazing after seeing your video. Going to keep at it. Please keep making videos. Love your humor and your passion comes through!
Especially the last step blew me away. Great bases. I wouldn't have thought about this way to do a base. But the reflection of the ground color works just great. I love the colour scheme. Wonderful video. Two thumbs up! Best regards. Gadush (Half-Orc Fighter Lvl 20)
I'm loving your tutorials, your technique and your editing style. Great use of subtle humour and the comments on screen to point out small mistakes and correct them. Entertaining and informative.
Hello Dana! Great tutorial and excelent studies in light and colour!! Not only for miniatures or other models, but as a whole lesson in seeing, exploring art itself!! Greetings and I hope to see some more of your really approach in the art of mini painting!! :-)
You are so lovely and talented and such a dry wit! Love it! I really enjoyed the under highlighting. Painted 40 years and never thought to try that. 🤦♂️. I will be using it soon!
Also, really cool about the respirator. Most people just advice using it but only after researching did I found a lot of people talking about health problems after years of using the stuff. It also releases vapors while its setting that are heavy enought that can accumulate in corners of rooms if they arent "swept" outside so a window and a fan would do great for it. Or CA Glue! instead
I have already learnt so much I have only watched 2 of your videos! You have introduced me to a whole new way of looking at miniture painting. Thank you soo much. I personally would like to see untamed beasts next.
Please please please do a nmm video! You explain everything better (and more thoroughly) than everyone else and I've been struggling like hell with nmm.
Absolutely loving the videos. Great sense of humor. Great talent on display. I especially love the fact that you keep your "mistakes" in, i.e.: the model falling off the base several times. You've got a new fan!
Perfect procedure explanation, thx! May I suggest one detail: could you give a closer up shots at the models when you ready to show the results? So more of those amazing details could be enjoyed by viewers 🙏🙏🙏
Cool and easy to follow video on painting these from start to finish. Great stuff. Very cool color scheme on the models that was executed excellently. Great job.
Absolutely loving these videos. Right on! I'd love to see a video on your tips and recommendations on getting started with an airbrush setup. I've long wanted to take the dive, but whenever I start reading into it, it feels like being sucked into a worm hole of information.
Very cool video. You are going into details. This is great, because it answers to a lot a the questions you can have when you are beginning with miniature painting.
Thanks for the fantastic tutorial! The figures look amazing and the way you breakdown the steps makes me want to get painting right away. Looking forward to the next one!
I watch a lot TH-cam mini painters and love finding different techniques and incorporating them into my own style depending on the mini so thanks I can’t wait to get my airbrush setup soon and play around 🙂
Been watching all the miniature videos atm as a getaway from massive DIY projects. Watched your 3 videos and they are great. Love the production the explanation music and refreshing colours maybe once the house is done I will finally setup to paint. Please please please do an airbrushing tutorial as I've got an old dentist compressor which seems ideal and I have been too scared to approach the medium
I detest the assembly stage: I have an ultra finicky team of blood bowl elves incomplete because doing just one gave me a nervous breakdown. But this has shown me I just need to take a deep breath and get into a zen state about it.
"This ogre also works hard and deserves some extra flair on it's base"- My new morning mirror motivation
“And I can sit there and work on my dolls” best thing I have heard all day
Josh Becka that was some good shit, but also very true 😂😂 I hate scraping mold lines. I’m doing it on Guardsmen now and they’re arful!
I’ve been painting for 20 years now. Done a few golden daemons in the early 2000s. I have watched all 3 of your videos and I like this style and want a new adventure. I will be adopting all these techniques as I begin my journey into airbrush!!
Oh and your presentation style for some reason really resonates for me. I like it a lot. You are quirky and intelligent in all the right ways! Keep it up!
Same for me. This presentation and technique is really refreshing. Great job Dana.
Agree! Thanks for being you, Dana! Unique and wonderful! Keep it up!
this near constant dry humor is killing me :D gj on the models, looks great !
Jip, she is hillarious
“...to which, I have no real response”. Love it. I’m enjoying your videos - they are helping me along in my Noob-ness.
Love the cut aways, the hrs of editing paid off. Diggin' the psychedelic color schemes (on these and on those ghosts on instagram). My vote is for terrain next.
Most youtube hobby instructors: licks cadmium yellow off their sable hairs, blasts ink directly up their noses with airbrushes
Dana: full hazmat gear when using glue
(And you’re right to do so)
That underpainting is Verdaccio as hell, and I'm all about it. You've completely transformed my understanding of miniature painting, Dana.
I really can't figure out who can disagree your tutorials... these are PURE GOLD for me. A LONG time ago I won a GW Golden Demon and I was also into CMON Annual 2003, it was an "era" when glazing but also a good layering technique were not already "discovered"... now after many years of "not painting" I'm back to this passion and I thing, I repeat, that these videos are absolutely great.
And you're a wonderful pro painter!
All the best from Italy... take care!

"And they're doing there social activities, and I can set there and work on my dolls..." I love how you think! Very glad I found your videos.
Got some paste on the kneecap?
Bob Ross: happy little accident.
Dana Howl: dirty apocalypse.
Bob Ross: FAILURE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!
You're thinking of Rob Boss, Box
Your tutorials about underpainting and glacing have really helped me progress. Thank you.
What I love about your videos is not only are they informative, the way you and your personality come across with such charm and character. I think that's what brings your audience and viewers in, just the general feel you have in your videos. Never stop making content. 🙌
I’m a simple man. Dana Howl puts out a video, I watch the video. Thank you so much for your great tutorials- they’ve helped me elevate my painting!
Pale Sand suddenly sells out worldwide.
Hurts my soul! Hobby Lobby is the only local seller of Vallejo paints, and they didn't have it :(
I have had no luck finding pale sand
Thank you for getting me back in the hobby. You've been the best inspiration, and i've probably watched that tutorial 10 times from start to finish. Thank you so so much.
I'm constantly smiling when watching this video. Humor, editing ... amazing video. Tnx!
Dry brushing, dry humour, how dull would life be without either.... great tutorials, entertaining, engaging and informa.... wait, I need another e-word..... extremely informative..... ugh!.. facepalms himself..... keep it coming Dana :)

She makes the best instruction videos ,calm clear voice and amazing painting skills

I love your videos. Not only do you show great tips and techniques, your style and quirky sense of humor are delightful. Please keep these up!
digging the color theory and art lessons mixed in. As a non-artist it helps understand why certain things work and why others don't. Keep it up. Do both the Beasts and the terrain.
The odd number theory is really good, I have been using this theory in my graphic designer career for over fifteen years and it always works. 👍
It's part of the pattern recognition system of our brains. Also see how golden ratio n its spirals works in production of a natural look.
The amount of detail and info was (imo) just as perfect as the models and your humor.
Thanks :)
Please do more. These tutorials are gold. GOLD!
Will definitely be supporting that Patreon soon.
You put so much work into your work and these videos. Don't change a thing. You have the perfect amount of explanation in the steps you take us through.
Seeing how you would do the glazing on the Untamed Beasts with there being so much flesh on them, would be a great video!
second it
Yes .... Please :)
That's my ASMR fix for today. Yes of course the model making and painting lesson is again... nothing short of superb, delivered with excellence accompanied by her wonderful unique humour.

Modelling assembly, along with any conversions, are my favorite part of doing minis. :) Midwinter Minis sent me here, I enjoy watching your videos, and you've helped me step up my glazing game.
I love your approach and that you call them “dolls”
they are dolls!
@@DanaHowl they are action figures!
I got this boxset in my basket... and now this colour scheme and techniques gives me a great reason to buy it! Though it looks long and tricky.. but Im sure it will be worth it... eek! Fantastic job and really well explained... my journey awaits!

I love your style and color choices! Paint whatever makes you happy and I will gladly fawn over the tutorial videos.
Absolutely gorgeous! Your videos are very inspiring. I would love to see more B-roll at the end with glamour shots and closeups.
My my you crack me up. Also your painting is really original, yet rather simple. Hats off.
It had to be long, for the wealth of information you shared.
Thanks again for the time and effort!
Stellar content, Milady!👍😎
Finally someone who tells you how to clean up your models properly, good job 👍
I agree. Using glue to smooth out the seams was a great idea.
I just love the off-center style of your videos! So much detail and instruction.
Keep it up, we need more kick-ass women in this space!
I love this channel , this is the third video I've binged this evening.

This tutorial was great. Thanks for showcasing all the techniques and thought process behind your decisions.
The figures look awesome. Great job. I vote for Terrain
I think you did an awesome job, Dana and I've never seen anyone really use the style of art from the box cover as the basis for how they paint the actual figures. You have a very artistic approach to this project, I love it!
One of, if not THE best painting tutorial I have seen on TH-cam. Subbed and cannot wait for more.
I really hope you continue this series... I really like them... they are fun and very helpful.
I really enjoy the format of the videos, it's just about the right amount of time to get all the information across at a pace that isn't overwhelming, a terrain painting tutorial would be amazing, the blue-purple terrain behind you looks really eye catchy and awesome! thanks for the videos I'm learning lots of stuff!
I completely sucked at hand glazing after seeing your video. Going to keep at it. Please keep making videos. Love your humor and your passion comes through!

Entertaining and informative.
Since seeing your videos been taking lots of notes and learning a lot. Thanks and keep it up.
the dead-pan emotionless delivery really works i think
Hello Dana! Great tutorial and excelent studies in light and colour!! Not only for miniatures or other models, but as a whole lesson in seeing, exploring art itself!! Greetings and I hope to see some more of your really approach in the art of mini painting!! :-)
I think this was the perfect amount of detail. Just wonderful videos you are putting together and the dry humor is great.
Really liked the amount of detail. Not too much and not too little :)
Really enjoy the style, quirkiness and overall feel of your videos, a pleasure to watch and learn from. Tx
You are so lovely and talented and such a dry wit! Love it! I really enjoyed the under highlighting. Painted 40 years and never thought to try that. 🤦♂️. I will be using it soon!
Fantastic video! I love the breakdown of the steps, especially.
This is awesome! People can go to any part of the process theyd like and get to see a "how to " and have ideas. Perfect!
Thank you
Also, really cool about the respirator. Most people just advice using it but only after researching did I found a lot of people talking about health problems after years of using the stuff.

I've really enjoyed all your videos, your demonstration is very clear and easy to see what you are doing. Keep it up !
Please please please do a nmm video! You explain everything better (and more thoroughly) than everyone else and I've been struggling like hell with nmm.
i like your editing and humor. I hope you keep making videos of such high quality!
I learned alot and I really like the instructions for texturing and painting the figure's bases . Thank you!
Another great video! It’s so much fun watching your videos and you provide great tips and techniques. Please keep them coming.
Absolutely loving the videos. Great sense of humor. Great talent on display. I especially love the fact that you keep your "mistakes" in, i.e.: the model falling off the base several times. You've got a new fan!
Thanks for making great videos and sharing your wealth of knowledge Dana! They've really given me the motivation to get back into painting minis!
Three videos and 10.5K subscribers already! I’m not surprised as these videos are really great 🎨
These paint scheme looks incredible.
Really enjoying your channel. You keep me laughing while I am learning. Thanks!
Perfect procedure explanation, thx!
May I suggest one detail: could you give a closer up shots at the models when you ready to show the results? So more of those amazing details could be enjoyed by viewers 🙏🙏🙏
Great work and fantastic results. Thank you for taking the time to produce this tutorial. Very enjoyable. All the best...Tom
Cool and easy to follow video on painting these from start to finish. Great stuff. Very cool color scheme on the models that was executed excellently.
Great job.
Models are sick btw. I super love your style and scheme choice.
These videos are great I really enjoy the commentary and everything looks so good! More Plz!
Very cool video and I'm looking forward to more in the future

Haven’t painted in over a decade, watch your video’s for the comedic content. And because you have a great skill!
I love your aesthetic for your vids and on your minis. Very vaporwavey and neon. I’d like to start incorporating this in some minis!
I detest the assembly stage: I have an ultra finicky team of blood bowl elves incomplete because doing just one gave me a nervous breakdown. But this has shown me I just need to take a deep breath and get into a zen state about it.
Honestly, you are the best teacher! ❤️❤️❤️
Really love your videos! Editing is awesome! The tutorials are amazing!
Another great video! I'm learning so much.
thanks Spider Dog :)
I love your videos and find the techniques you discuss really useful and easy to follow. Please keep doing what you do!
I love your work so much! BEAUTY! keep it up.
Very rad, thanks for the cool tutorial! Pretty great stuff!
I love this! I'm looking forward to see whatever you paint next!
I could literally just listen to you all day looking forward to new content
