I always struggled with the final highlight on white. I never knew why the paint behaved different, now I know. Thanks for the great tutorial. When painting white on eyes, how do I avoid the same problem there?
For eyes I don't use the ink, it's too runny and you have the risk of ruining everything if done after the face. For that I use white paint but I thin it down so it flows better. Best though is to paint the eyes before the face! I will make a video about both methods soon
I actually happen to have schmincke white paint and schmincke white ink! So glad I bought these, I totally agree with you about white ink, it's amazing.
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Tengo un bote entero de tinta avellana antigua de GW que me da pena usar. Echo de menos esos tonos rojizos que le da a los dorados... tengo que probar la contrast guilliman flesh para eso. Desde que te vi usar la black templar para los metalizados y lo probé me he enamorado. He comprado varias contrast para usarlas a modo de lavado, y eso que no tenía pensado comprarlas porque para el uso para el que se supone que son no me acaba de convencer el resultado. Ahí estoy sombreando todos los panel linings de mis salamandras con la contrast Dark Angels green, queda muy bien. Me gusta más que el shade Biel Tan o Nuln Oil. Le da un tono de verde frio muy bueno que contrasta de maravilla con el verde calido y los edge highlith subidos hasta amarillo. Buscando un sustituto a este último botecito de tinta avellana hice una mezcla con tintas Inktense de Scale75 que el resultado era idéntico al 90% poniendo una junto a la otra. Era mezclando tinta madera y roja en no recuerdo que proporción, hice un botecito y lo anoté por algún sitio. Si te interesa pruebalo.
Vince got me on the heavy acrylic and ink train. I haven't had to use it much yet, but thinking of using it for my Shining Spears or Dire Avenger helmets.
I wish I had watched this video before I completely ruined one of my models using white scar. I understand your hate with passion for that stuff, I will use this method from now on 👍🏼
Thanks! I now use another different method for my rank and flank that is quicker. Go watch my video Eavy Contrast Marines - White Scars for a super easy and quick method of Painting white and leave this for your characters. Thanks for watching!
Great video, Juan! Also, thanks for the tip on using the ink to thin/reduce the heavy body paints, as I've noticed that medium and water work, but do feel a bit extra cumbersome to get just right sometimes. I have loads of Liquitex Professional Heavy Body paints and inks, as well as Daler-Rowney and Amsterdam, so will give it a go and see what I end up with. Cheers!
Thanks! I'm super happy you found it useful. It's not my trick to be honest I'm just passing on the knowledge of more talented artists. Again, thanks for watching and for the feedback. It's appreciated
I followed Robpaintsmodels guide, but I did it even simpler. For Shades and Contrast just shake very well, cut the lid and pour carefully into the dropper. For the rest this is it: All you need is Distilled water 1- Open the paint, add water and shake, repeat until the paint feels like it can flow, the amount depends on each paint, for the more stubborn stuff and for all metallic paints add agitators. 2- Cut the lid of the Citadel pot and open it, place on the open top of the dropper and start to pour very slowly. You will instantly know if it's too thick, if it can flow easily just keep pouring until no more paint comes out. 3- Add a bit more water into the pot and shake very well 4- Pour that last bit into the dropper 5- Profit Don't be tempted to keep adding more water to scrape each and every bit of paint in the pot, it will ruin the consistency and it's so little paint it's not worth it. For metallic paints try adding no water first, and add the smallest amount possible. Hope that helps!
Hola, mil gracias por el video tío!, voy a probar la tinta blanca, pero de la serie FW solo hay blanco a secas, el blanco titanio que pones en el video es solo de la serie system 3, es error tuyo o es que existe un blanco titanio de la serie FW que no puedo encontrar? Gracias!!!
Un placer, cuando te llegue asegúrate de agitarla MUY BIEN, tiene mucha tendencia a crear una capa de pigmento muy sólida en el fondo y hay que mezclarla bien para que tenga una buena intensidad.
Hey chap. Love the videos. Really appreciate the effort, skill and humour! You use a few inks I'm not familiar with in various videos from a few different brands. Could you put up a list of them somewhere?
I own a ton of inks, but the ones used in the tutorials are: Most of the Vallejo Game Inks (I have them all and recommended them) White Ink (I use Daler Rowney but Liquitex or other artists brand will do too. Scale 75 have one too but I think it's only sold in a pack atm. The last one I used is Scale75 Inktense Chestnut. All the Scale75 are really good
Me has convencido, he comprado un bote de tinta blanca extra opaca de la marca Schmincke. No porque no me fie de la Daler Rowney pero ya llevo tiempo usando acuarelas Schmincke y confio plenamente en la marca. Además su servicio al consumidor es de 10. Lo último que pinté en blanco fue el casco de un vidente Eldar usando el blanco que tenía, el antiguo Skull White de GW, y menudo horror. Hacía muchos años que no sufría así pintando y me cabreaba tanto, quedaba pastoso de narices en cuanto empecé a pasar de gris ulthuan a añadir el blanco. Me frustré tanto que ni lo acabé. Seguramente lo retome para probar la tinta.
Citadel White Scar is the worst, open a new pot and there's a hard ball of goo right at the bottom which you have to undo with vallejo medium. Winsor & Newton acrylic titanic white thinned down with FW Artists Acrylic white ink it is then. i like it how the new Citadel paints seem to have a nice couple of off-whites. I'll always remember the Warhammer Visions magazine featuring the White Tau; they were painted all bumpy and chalky and non smooth and I thought to myself if GW can't do it how will I paint white on Tau..
Muy buen tutorial ! Gracias. Podrías poner un enlace para esta tinta blanca ? Es esta la referencia ? Gracias de antemano Daler Rowney White FW Artists Ink
I’ve been painting for almost 2 years now. I’ve avoided white at all costs. So I’m working on an apothecary. I was going to paint him blue but I thought no I won’t like it, it has to be white. I’ve made so many attempts I literally have a chart with ratios I’ve been mixing it to both water and medium (I’m using white scar go figure) all failures no matter what I’ve done it’s just how many coats I have to put down before it looks like I’ve used a damn bottle of white out to paint it, I keep trying to just paint an arm but nope, I have a tally on my white board for how many times it’s been in simple green and It’s been 8 try’s. This is without a doubt the most frustrating thing I’ve tried to do in the 2 years I’ve been painting
@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I have not yet but when I type in painting white miniatures it comes up and I can see why lol. I’ve actually never used a contrast paint period. When I first started the guy at games workshop was explaining the difference and said contract was easier and I didn’t want to take the easy route because I wanted to learn the fundamentals. It’s been going great that it’s turned into one of my main hobby’s but painting white is man… it’s rough. I’m defiantly going to get some of that contrast and try a few different brands out, like that one you have in the tube looks super nice
Yeah that white is amazing, also white ink is quite game changer but for white the most important thing is you DON'T PAINT IT WHITE, you paint it a light grey and use white just for the last highlights
It's odd that you find White Scar worse than Ceramite White. I've usually heard people saying the opposite, and GW seemed to agree (since they discontinued Ceramite recently). I've never used either of them though, since I switched to Vallejo Model Color for blacks and whites in 2012.
I will surely do the same once the current bottle of ceramite is over. I just think White Scar is stupid, never had any problems with Ceramite but did heard the horror stories, maybe I was lucky

I use the Ceramite White ad my go to normal white acrylic, it's OK. Same as any other white acrylic to me. Others have reported very bad experiences with it being almost solid upon purchase though, so who knows. I never had any problems. Ink is my go to white for highlights for sure and heavy body if I need good coverage or need thicker paint
Nope. No way dude there are so many better ways. First of all NEVER layer white with brush strokes. Airbrush either a grey seer or super light beige color and then dry brush the white one ever so finely. Voi La.
Exactly what i needed ❤ thx JH miniatures

White Scar could be one of the main reasons newbies quit painting. I wish i had this tutorial before I started my High Elf painting!
For my elves I plan on making a pre-mixed bottle of the shade I use here to speed up things.
It's never late to jump on the Ink train!
Starting with a flesh tone suddenly makes a lot of sense, thankyou.
Thank you for watching! White is a very versatile colour, as with black you can give it a twist very easily
Never thought to use flesh shade for white. First I’ve heard of this technique.
I mix Fleshade with Seraphim Sepia to create a shade very similar to the old chestnut ink, it works very well

2024 and I still find myself coming back for this video for guiding. 😊 . Do you have an updated recipe with newer paint, like contrast/speed paints?
I love all these
Vince got me on the heavy acrylic and ink train. I haven't had to use it much yet, but thinking of using it for my Shining Spears or Dire Avenger helmets.
It's a good idea to make the final highlights
The finish on this mini reminds me of the work of one of my favourite illustrators, Angus McBride.
Had to Google that. I'm honoured
Never easy to paint white color, thanks for the tips, nice vid!
Thanks! The ink helps massively. Try it!

It's an old Bretonnian Archer from GW. No longer in production but there are A LOT of them on eBay

Siempre es una muy buena idea introducir nuevos pigmentos, heavy bodies en este caso...Genial!
Gracias! Desde luego que lo recomiendo encarecidamente, la diferencia es abismal.
Awesome and very helpfull vid! Thank you a lot for did it. :-)
Thank you for watching. I love making them
It's not easy to find that brand in Italy, the vallejo white wash will do the same thing?
I image the result will be different
Sadly it won't. Try art stores and looks for acrylic artist inks. Liquitex, Windsor and Newton etc.
Just be sure it is waterproof when dry
thank you, thank you, thank you....
