Just tried this. Absolute game changer for me. I can’t believe how easy it was to get subtle, smooth skin shade transitions. I’ve always struggled mightily with even the thinnest of washes. Thank you for sharing!!!
@@yw9686 If the lacquer reacts to alcohol like it would to a solvent... then yes, obviously you should avoid doing that. But you wouldn't be using alcohol inks anyway.
I just got an airbrush, but I have noob performance anxiety, haven't put paint in it yet! I just got back into the hobby, but I've been into different arts all along. I had some art supplies, so have tried shaved pastels. I like the effect, but it doesnt stick as well as I'd like, even on a flat surface. I have tried charcoal pencils with some good looking results. Plan to airbrush over that shading on a Dauntless. Will be my virgin voyage into airbrushing and shading for that matter.
One big benefit of using chalks over airbrush is no overspray. You need to mask and tape a lot of parts every time you want to do shading, even small areas with a 0.2 nozzle. Chalks just need brushing over the part you want shaded.
Amazinf tutorial, this will save me from having an airbrush for sure. Are the Pastels like a Chalk? I am from Germany and cant find the kind i need for the job. Thanks in advance
Would you recommend this method for female characters make-up, blush, eyeshadow etc? I've actually been thinking about this for some time now, great to see this video
I was wondering about this also, if you could use cheaper powder makeup off Amazon or from the Dollar Tree made for little kids. Lots of colors there, especially the goth stuff.
@@Chef_PC That too, I don't see why not, it's all oil based. I think for smaller statues/prints, soft brushes might give us more control than a airbrush, for all that make-up and contouring.
Nothing new, here. I've been using pastels for over 55 years, now. I still use my 4 airbrushes, but the pastels are my favorite "tools" for the most subtle effects...
Great video, Henry! I use pastels on all of my prints. Lol, I was just about to make a video on using pastels. Are you reading my mind? 😂😂 I'll think up something else to cover. Talk to ya soon! 😊
I tell you something I get so overwhelmed by painting I've been trying go master eyeshadow on female figs and I just can't do it with a air brush my hand slips or I just can't find the right pressure needed to do a light dusting I get so annoying and say hey I'm done selling my kit I'm out can't do it so I'm gonna find some chalk pastels at my local shop and try this I will get good at painting if it's the last thing i do I find I try and live up to everyone else's standards of painting I see what other have done with the models I got and go yeah ill do that if I take some time and it turns out completely different or don't look half as good it's kills my confidence and makes me more determined to do it
Have you tried using crushed pastels? Seal the face first the use pastels. If you screw up then you can wipe it off with a damp cloth. Print you a head sculpt for practice and give it a whirl. See what happens.
@@TheCreativeCollector that's my plan sir are these soft pastels or are they just called chalk pastels I'm looking on amazon I've come across soft chalk pastels wasent sure if there was a certain type
This was my test run on the blackwidow wasn't even close but I'm still very new to painting and trying to get as close to life like as possible but all is very much challenging me along the way had a good go on the left eye and then right the paint just came out way to fast and messed it all up didn't wanna waste the clear coat on the test as I was sure I had it in hand but guess not so I want try this method you shown here on her
✅low cost, ✅easy item to buy, ✅no special tool, ✅easy to do, ✅noob friendly, ✅great effect...
👀👀
definitely going to try this.
Thanks for watching!

Glad it helped!
You can add alcohol to the shavings to make an ink as well to really get great shading effects.
Yes you can! There's a lot of other effects you can get. I just wanted to cover this particular one.
👍 I was about to ask that😅😅
1y too late, but the alcohol thinned powder shouldn’t be applied to lacquer painted surface, right?

I actually learned this from the sideshow collectibles channel glad someone else is showing others how to do it....total game changer seriously 👍👍

Wow! Pastels looks like a great method! Thanks!
Thank you! Cheers!
nice one! I also prefer pastels over shading with the airbrush.
I used them for years before I learned how to airbrush.
Wow awesome video. The way you get the powder from the pastels is a whole lot better than the way I used to do it!
Thank you so much 😀

Yes, definitely. I use this method on all of my female characters. This was the way I learned years ago.
@@TheCreativeCollector awesome, brother. Your a saint to beginners

This is great! Do you think you could use weathering powders for a similar effect?
Yes you can!
@@TheCreativeCollector Awesome, thanks!
i like how this looks.. how do u feel about adding a wash to the deeper parts only? will that work?
You can do that and it'll work.
@@TheCreativeCollector with blackwash ?or should I use a darker tone of whatever color i want to shade ..thanks fro answering btw
