Thank you for the tips I was really suprised I was the first model to be discussed, I didn't even realize until seeing on TV how much the straw yellow pops out. I appreciate all the input
I was really stuck on things I do on the fly, like brush control, deciding when to tone something down or up. But I realize that the biggest point is all the preparation. Deciding which colors go where, where the light should go in which gradients, thinking about how to reach the spots with your brush beforehand. There is no use in overthinking, but with stuff like this clear in your mind you can take a few steps back and actually watch what you are doing to get valuable experience
Thank you @trovarion! As many others have said too, this type photoshop feedback videos are pure gold. I can’t say how helpful it is! I see my own mistakes in many of these examples. Thank you for an amazing Channel with so much good content!
I had no idea this channel existed, but man, what a great format! As a beginner myself I find it incredibly helpful that you're breaking the suggestions down and that you're also showing the improvements through visual aids. Thank you!
This was a great video. Love how he takes all of the minis seriously and provides useful advice to improve ranging from that first orc all the way up to the kinds of things you'd enter in a competition. I feel like this kind of feedback is both the most necessary ingredient to improve, and the hardest to come by.
I love coming back to these videos. There’s always some extra to pick up on the next viewing. It just makes it even better knowing I’m supporting this channel that extra bit
Thanks very much for the awesome feedback Mr. Trovarion, I’m definitely going to try those darker volumetric highlights on the black armour for my Space Marines 🙏
Looking great! One rule of thumb I use for myself when painting black is to always have a final pass of (diluted) pure black as the last step. Also helps me cleaning up my messy edge highlights as a bonus.
Thank you so much for the constructive criticism! Underlining the explanations with photoshop is always very helpful. Seeing your own mini in a thumbnail is kinda awkward btw... but the after image you made is awesome :D
This is next level ! Just found your channel yesterday and I’m just more and more impressed . This kind of community engagement is so incredible and helpful for so many ! I’ve seen creators in other things like Tim Henson /polyphia reviewing and critiquing fan stuff . You’re probably the first mini painting channel I’ve seen do it like this at this level. Keep up the awesome work!
I keep watching this over and over. This is VERY good constructive criticism. Normally, my friends and I are too nice to give feedback like this to each other (not to mention, none of us are experienced and skilled enough!). Thank you!
You're never too inexperienced to discuss what you're seeing as a viewer. Being able to discuss what you're seeing, and what you're trying, is key to quickly raising the standard within your group.
Really helpful. I love how you changed the look/readability of that barbarian (15:00) with just a few tiny adds of highlight and contrast. Great to see some honest criticism, a resource thats actually very scarse in our modern social media world. EIther its "totaly awesome" or "absolute sh*t".
thank a lot for this video, i m a beginner in painting but this help to understand why pro or ex pro like you do thing in their video! Again great video, it may sound like condescending but ur video are very dynamic now
Love the vid man. Im kinda new to this mini painting business and this one gave me a lot of tips. I feel like most videos for newbies lack the detail. For example my 1st screwup was applying the shade "all over" just to see it look awful but no video ever goes into that detail because advanced people take some things as obvious. 18:40 the problem with inner fire is that it can look like a dollar store figurine. Vince Venturella has a good vid explaining how to avoid it but i still feel its very hard to sell as "fire".
I think i pearned more in this one painting video than i have in the last 100 i watched... actually seeing how to fix things and what ti fix is amazing, especially when its the same things over and over... it takes repetition to get the lesson inside my thick skull 😅
"geet goud *smiley face* " XD text to speach is funny. I really like that you used some visual refference by over-coloring on some of them to really show the difference instead of only verbally explaining it. Its something that really helps beginners or people that want to get better.
@trovarion miniatures just an idea, but once you have finished adding your touches would be good to see the original picture alongside your work to really show the difference and what a fe simple steps could achieve?
That was so good, first time I'm watching one and really appreciated the time and coaching you provided, thanks a lot. I definitely learnt quite a few things re making credible bases, volumetric highlights, etc. How can we submit pictures or be part of the next brutal savage destruct... I meant feedback session?
anyone that supports in any form can submit through discord. Next video will not be in a while but I go through the feedback channel on discord every livestream i do (usually weekly or bi-weekly).
Hey man, love to see these videos of advice on work. This helps me a lot on improving my own work. Also; how is it going for you being a full time youtube guy now (assuming you did continue on that career path)
The key for drybrushing without the texture is to make sure the brush isn't actually dry, but moist. This helps spread the paint and it isn't dry, but damp.
@@trovarion He is right though. You do need a minute degree of moisture on the brush. My opinion is, there is a definite difference between an absolutely bone dry brush and one with the SLIGHTEST bit of moisture. For one i don't notice the graining as much and i can get much more control with layers and blending. Many people get it all wrong; you should wet the brush and remove all the moisture with kitchen roll first. Apply the paint to the brush and wick off the excuse on a drybrushing palette (piece of primed chipboard or even cardboard) as not to remove the moisture and medium from the paint (thats why you get the weird grainy texture) I scream every time I see someone using paper towels to remove excess paint when dry brushing. I wish more people listened to byron, they buy his brushes but ignore his advice lmao. I know you have won many many many many awards, thats just my input as an avid dry brusher after 'it all clicked'.
Regarding the space marine around the 24 minute mark... it is important to understand what is creating a glowing affect. There are essentially two things happening with glows. The first is light catching surfaces around the light source. The second is a halo effect that is caused by the bright light hitting lens of the viewer (whether it's a camera lens , glasses or even the lens of your eye) so it does indeed spill over areas that aren't catching the light. It is an optical artifact that doesn't usually work well when painted onto a 3d miniature because it isn't created at the light source. It is possible to get it to work but most attempts just don't look natural imho.
@35:00 something we do in the historical scene for this situation where you have all these panels at different angles is mix up 3 different sets of tri tones but all the same color. IE red, triad 1: black, dark red brown, red brown (also consider mixing in some ground color), triad 2: Dark red, dark medium red, red, triad 3: dark medium red, red, red highlight. You can cool or warm each triad as needed. To use the triads: Triad 1 is an panel that faces the ground, mix in ground tones to warm or cool the red, triad 2: an angled plate facing up, triad 3: any panel near horizontal (cool for a sunny sky with some point highlights). It gives you a unified theme but lots of variation in the pannels.
@@trovarion Yep, translating visual mediums into written instructions is really hard. Its something oil canvas painters do a lot as well (especially that one who does the Magic cards here on youtube.)
I'm just imaging the people who would complain that the example of eye glow made using LEDs are not a good example of how you should paint OSL. I think there's a bad habit that exists in all graphic arts where people don't look at references. So much NMM is some painter's interpretation of some painter's interpretation of some painter's interpretation of metal. People look at painted NMM and try to make rules for why it's effective but not at actual references of real metal in the appropriate conditions.
6.24 its amazing how much better it looks with you spending 2 seconds highlighting that green! as a newbie i always struggle and think how much lighter green do i add, where does it stop and where do the darker colours begin?
Saying to remove mould lines is not nitpicky - it can be a real pain, but it makes a huge difference - if you are someone who cares and displays their miniatures when not playing.
You can tell he's giving the advice for the skill level rather than over explaining. I would be absolutely dunked on because I lack the skill to do reflections or blending. Heck I striluggle with highlights as well.
Great vid as always ! Regarding Dry brushing, what is the name of the person you mentioned and couldn't pronounce the name ? :). i'm curious to see what "good" drybrushing looks like :). Thank you
I have to get in on your discord, I missed the opportunity to get critiqued by one of the best. I also have no idea why I wasn't subscribed to you, I could have sworn I already was.
@@trovarion Ah thank you kindly, I can see how drybrush blending to create smooth blends with a beaten weathered effect is probably something that takes time to master
Do you think you could recreate 'Dark Matter' camo from the call of duty game? I want to use that effect on some daemon weapons. It's kinda like pink, blue, purple and jet black are a liquid marbling. Kinda what I'd imagine a tear in reality would be and you could see the warp through the tear. I'm not the best at explaining but if you Google it, it's not hard to find at all
After a cursory Google search, and a quick once-over of the pattern, I might have a good starting point for you: learning how to paint marble stone patterns, and maybe some lightning techniques, depending on how luminous you want the end result to look. There are a few really good tutorials around, you just need to do a pallet swap for the colors you're using. The concepts are actually pretty simple to wrap your brain around, too.
Hi :) could you explain us how to improve in coherence. Im struggling with color choice and trying not to ends up with only 3rd colors and a lack of value, moreover a lack of coherence Sorry for my english french syntax
Colors are influenced by ambient light. If your bright red and blue figure is standing in a green forest, both red and blue will be pulled towards green. This is how normally clashing colors can still look good together. Another option is simply to pick a color scheme that already looks good together. There's no real trick to it, but there are websites that can help you pick color schemes. Value has nothing to do with color, it's simply the shades and lights that imply form. If your values are bad, the figure will be less readable. To check your values, make a picture and apply a black and white filter, or look at your figure through a piece of tinted glass/plastic. If your model still has nice contrast without color, you're doing a good job.
@@Lilliathi wow okay, thanks a lot. Gonna try to paint with teints, without going to greyish colors.. Maybe if my shadows are green in this case that could works.
@@TheOldViper22 Indeed, desaturation is one way to create cohesion, because you pull all the colors to grey. But there's no reason you can't pull them all towards a color of your choice instead. This is exactly what happens in real life environments.
@@Lilliathi yes of course, green was a cool example. But isnt it monochromatic if we do that ? Sorry if i'm in mess, i learn by watching many of minis ytbers and the informations I get, are differing
Hi Trovarion ! I don't know if you read all comments related to your content, but here it goes. Let me first preface this by saying that I sincerely enjoy your content. It's always a pleasure to get the professional take of someone much more talented than I am at painting minis. I never comment on youtube videos, but this time I made an exception to explain why I won't watch this video, whose quality I don't question. The reason is the title : I realize, obviously, that as a content creator you have to balance doing what you love and attracting viewership. And I also realize that "DESTROYING viewers Miniatures in SAVAGE feedback video" is much more eye-catching than "pro painter thoughtfully explores areas of improvement for his viewership's minis". But still, this level of clickbait is absolutely ridiculous, in my humble opinion. And let me say for the record that it is clearly a widespread problem, and not only yours. The reason I posted this message is that the upside of clickbaity titles, for content creators, is clear, but I wanted to point out that there is also a downside to clickbait, which generates frustration in viewers like myself, potentially leading to straight-out loss of viewership. I am aware that it is important for you to have engaging titles for your videos, I'm just convinced that there is a better balance to be found between engaging your viewers and not getting into this kind of shameful clickbait. Thanks anyway for your hard work !
No clicks no content my friend. Which do you prefer? Getting 10.000 views on a video I worked 50 hours is not justifyable. What do you want me to do? Stop making youtube videos? Because that's what will happen.
I see comments like this, and I have no idea what the angle is. Just seems like entitled nonsense; clickbait is proven to work at generating new interest, and is thus an essential tool for a content creator growing their fanbase. I don’t see what the problem is, it takes all of 30s to establish whether a video is worth your time, one is able to navigate through it at will and one is able to leave at any moment. How entitled do you have to be to find access to master-level teaching and knowledge at no immediate cost to oneself frustrating?!

I don’t see what the problem is, it takes all of 30s to establish whether a video is worth your time, one is able to navigate through it at will and one is able to leave at any moment. How entitled do you have to be to find access to master-level teaching and knowledge at no immediate cost to oneself frustrating?!
This hobby is so darn expensive. Every time I make a mistake while painting I just feel defeated…
