Painting D&D Miniatures on a Budget - 9 Paint Project

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ส.ค. 2019
- Painting miniatures with just a few bottles of paint is a bit more difficult, but far from impossible. And I'm talking about painting adventurer-type miniatures and not 40k Smurfs where 90% of the mini is blue, for example.
Miniature is Reaper Miniature's Reeve Irremborg Planomap.

If you want a really high contrast red, use the transparency of acrylics to your advantage. Paint thin layers of pure white onto your highlight surfaces that you want to be bright red, then do some thin layers of your red over the top of the white. That way you're not mixing the white and red to make pink, instead you're allowing the highest brightness of your red color to really make the surface pop.
Basically re-zenithal highlighting with your red, over the top of your shade base.
DeathbyDoughnut Tips and techniques appreciated! :)
Pete It looks excellent.
I've been painting for 40+ years and own 500+ paints BUT I still learned from this video, thank you. I've no doubt it will be hugely useful to a lot of folks.
You gave me the motivation to paint some minis. I stopped watching to paint, and came back to watch the rest.
Thank you for the video.
You are immensely talented my man. This mini turned out so awesome!
A friend of mine just started painting, and following the advice of Jeremie Bonhamant Teboul in his book we tried using only the three primary colors white and Black, with the added challenge of not being permitted to have any of the three primaries in the final mini... Great way of practicing color theory !
This looks lovely! I really like how bright and regal he looks.
this is extremely impressive
What a great miniature. Well done
I love these videos. THank you!
You are the reason I have German camo black brown in my collection and it has sooo many uses
Nice work!
Loving the smiley and cyclops faces.
Nice one, doc.
Looks absolute cool :-)
Well done - limiting yourself like this is not only fun for a challenge, but I also think it forces you to think harder about exactly what to do and how.
Next challenge: Five colors and one extras, and with that I mean something that will prolong the paint's working time, like glaze medium or retarder, because that will be absolutely necessary when painting with acrylics. I did this myself some time ago and picked Vallejo's Flat Red, Flat Blue, Flat Yellow, Black and White with Retarder. It was infuriatingly tough to paint this way since I thought I spent more time mixing paint than actually painting, but it worked out in the end. And it made me realize that the main reason I have 200+ paints from Vallejo is comfort - it's so damn nice to be ably to just drop some Buff on the palette instead of mixing paints to no end.
The first thing I tell beginning painters about technique* is, "Learn to control paint consistency." Every Dr. F vid is a masterclass in this.
*The very first thing I tell them is, "Don't skimp on brush quality."
Inspired me to paint my copy of him!
You mentioned oil painting, would love to see a video of you doing traditional painting!
Great tutorials, as always. Could you maybe add a rough figure for the time needed to paint each mini to your video descriptions? That would help to judge the effort needed/wanted.
I bet he has the most amazingly battle mats with the beautiful mini on it
Saw some of your hero forge minis at Gen Con
You need vallejo to sponsor you..just for camo black brown! Lol
black brown your favorite color? I'm fond of English uniform, even the way it covers..like butter
Thanks, excellent guide :} I was wondering how to handle my color pallete. Question: What d you do with all your painted miniatures? :D
Have u ever tried mixing ultramarine blue and burnt umber for black i was taught in art school not to use black unless absolutely necessary It makes a nice black but is not as harsh or overpowering as black from the bottle
I was curious , do you still have your beautifull dark elves army? Now with the new city of sigmar book you can play them again
I still have two of them.
I only counted 8 - I musta missed one:
VMC Violet
VMC Flat Red
PA Flesh Base
VMC Black
VMC White
VMC Medium Blue
VMC Flat Earth
VMC Yellow Ochre
Silly question from a beginner: Is it possible to prime them with the Tamiya grey or white primer?
Whoah! Is that a wet palette? 😁
You changed your background music!!!
Hey Doc.. FanDamnTastic my friend.. great vid on color use.. really good stuff.. noticed the trim on the cloak had a black edge line.. it looks crisp just enough to see the line but blurred just enough to create your shadow.. how did you do that?
Not exactly sure which part you're talking about. If you mean between the red and gold there is stitching which I painted purple and gave it a light black wash.
@@ThePaintingClinic that's it.. as always.. great work.. glad to learn. Have painted my first 9 minis in the last 2 weeks.. excited to finally get to painting.. cutting my chops on the newer reaper metal minis (dark heaven) but wanting to finally begin painting the older stuff.
I recommend the vallejo 16-colour starter set and the 16-colour earth tones set, as well as a few model air metallics and rose brown (a good alternative to bugman's glow).
What brush are you using? It looks like the perfect size for the type of layering you do.
Stunning mini. Great video

@@ThePaintingClinic Thank you sir
This video is great, for us who are still noob painters. Thanks I'm using your videos to learn painting as much as to practise my listening (I'm studying in order to pass my Cambridge B1 exam, so I mus say sorry becausr of my English). Now, just a question, you use thin layers (as Ángel Giraldez for example, maybe the best spanish miniature painter) or do you prefer thicker paint? Thanks again for your videos.
Always be thinning. Layering technique means the thinner the paint the better.
Doctor Faust's Painting Clinic thanks for answer
It's great to see what's possible with just a few paints. I haven't painted in years, recently got done minis and my old paints out! So many questions after this video even though it was really helpful!
Do you paint on you next layer (say, highlights) while the previous one is still wet? What are you mixing your paints on? Do you add water?
neat guy thare see as post new
You using the wet pallet these days, Boss?
And, what brand of wet palette is it?
@@Michael_Gombos Masterson.
Trying it again because of the heat. I mostly hate it. A wet palette just is not suited for my thin layering style.
When did you switch to a wet pallette?
I switched within 2-3 weeks of restarting the hobby. As a child I painted straight out of the pot, often straight on to the plastic without priming, but after actually taking the time to learn what's up as an adult, it didn't take long for me to realise the dry pallette just doesn't cut the mustard at all
@@TAP7a I was asking Dr F since he usually paints off of porcelain tiles, but it's good to know the experience of others.
Playing around with it again because of the heat. I still find them very limiting and they are not suitable for heavily thinned layering.
For skin tones, I tell people to just buy Burnt Umber, and mix a little bit of color into the paint. Then progressively add white in stages. A bit of red or pink for Caucassion and Black skins. A little bit of purple for Drow. A good deal of red for Tiefling.
"Painting minis on a budget" using only a few of the expensive name brand mini paints. :/
Still a good video, just not what I was expecting. Myself painting on a budget is with craft store acrylics, thinning as necessary. One 2oz bottle costs anywhere from under a $1 up to $2 depending on brand or colors/metallics.
There's budget and there's shoestring.
Miniac did a shoestring video a while back you may want to check out: th-cam.com/video/yN9y0mbs_Mk/w-d-xo.html
@Jonathan I'm not going to pay $3 a bottle when I've learned to properly thin non-miniature brand acrylics and achieve the same quality of paint. For one color of VMC, I can get 3 colors in acrylic paint.
@@Thaxsar I can tell you that when I was younger, I did a *lot* of painting with craft paints and I even still use them for some things so I can tell you, 100% positively that they are just not as good at the task as vallejo stuff. Their pigment density is comparably poor and their pigments are just not as finely ground.
Anyone who has mastered actual painting in oils or acrylics can easily paint these miniatures with only a handful of basic colours; mixing and glazing take practice to learn, but are hardly arcane dark arts. So... I always figured that the fundamental point of this miniature painting hobby was to _collect_ hundreds of pointless colours based on their, erm, colourful monikers such as vomit green and puss yellow.
Remember when reaper minis were horrible ugly things
