This has become my favourite mini painting channel. Theres no bs, its just straight in with the techniques, great explanations and the vid shows how it is done without skipping ahead so i can follow along properly. I've just ordered some brushes. Please keep up this great channel.
So essentially the Drybrushing takes the place of the initial Airbrush step of blending, smoothing it out with glazes, like you would with an AB. very cool
Am liking these dry brush tips. One bit of advice, could you do a close up of the model at the end? Sometimes it's hard to see the result. Always keen to see metallic tips. How about NMM bronze as a challenge!!
Hey Neil, we absolutely can give that a bash! Will probably be close to the NMM Gold tutorial due shortly, in which we'll remedy the issue above too, and show all of the model in stills/rotation :)
firstly, I just ordered the Series D brushes and they are amazing - please use some of the money I spent to buy a new white paint ;-) great vids guys, keep it up!!
Great video, ordered a set of the D brushes! for me this will be a great base for NMM then add edge highlights and bit of colour glazing. Would love to see a video on how you approach drybrushing a model? Do you do the drybrushing first then everything with a brush second so you can clean up? Maybe i just need to work on my dry brush control.
Another great video, thanks, as a suggestion though please could we maybe see a still or rotary shot of the miniature when finished, I'm watching on my phone and it's pretty difficult to see the effect.
@@ArtisOpus awesome thanks, definitely going to be investing in a set of the Series D, is there a video about the mat thing you load the paint up on and where can I get one?
Great idea Noah! I'll have a think about it, there's a cold/warm/clean/dirty question first, it'd probably start with something close to Rakarth Flesh, and work from there, another interesting route is actually to take your final white, and add small amounts of deep colours or washes to it for our base-coat.
Artis Opus Thank you so much for getting back to me! The reason I wanted help regarding going up to white is because your videos and drybrush kit have given me hope that I can finally paint the various Gundam kits I have. Since I am not in a position to set up a compressor/airbrush, so I would never be able to do more than panel line my various large gunpla kits which was never satisfying. I never thought of using Rakarth as a base! Would you recommend just priming black, and then adding white more and more into the rakarth to achieve a final clean-ish look? I had presumed it would just be prime black->dark gray->light gray mixing to white. Adding deep colors is a very curious idea; like a dark blue gray to it sorta thing? In any case your work is fantastic and I am so happy to feel like I have a shot at creating interesting and cool looking paint jobs utilizing your drybrush techniques.
I bought the S and D brushes and I really loved them. I will soon buy the M and other D. but I wanted to ask you as a suggestion if it were possible for you to subtitle the tutorial videos that you upload into Spanish, because the truth would be of great help to those who do not know English
Hi Marcelo, we'd love to have that available at some point in the future, for now I'll try my best to speak clearly, we're also looking to improve our audio quality.
Great video as usual! How would you go about making white armour using this technique, starting with a light grey rather than black? Keep up the good work!
It depends on the nuance you want with the scheme: Warm Brown: Warm white Deep Blue: Cold White Dirty green brown: Nurgley The possibilities are endless :)
Got my first Artis Opus brush the other day and I love it. Going to have to invest in the D (lol) as it looks great and these videos make a strong case for it. Would love to see your take on NMM gold to go with this!
Do the artist opus dry brushes keep well? (With proper care ofc) Currently using brushes/makeup brushes at the end of their life for drybrushing, but am interested in upping my dry brush game lol
@@ArtisOpus I love all of your video tutorials. Unfortunately I feel that you need to maybe take closer pics of the model as you go and maybe a front, side, back pic at the end of the video. This would let everyone really see what has gone into your amazing models.
If you are painting a model you want lit from the front at 45 degrees, how would you do the NMM on their back? It works on the front because of the highlights, but on the back there wouldn't be much if any at all so would you just end up with a dark grey or would you still try to get darker highlights on it?
I actually have a huge bonesplitterz army which I took to the ETC, it was a pure speed project though, so I mostly airbrushed, apart from bases, and weapons. I think I could do something pretty interesting now though.
Can you do the same with some Gondor miniatures ? Stormcast are great because they are big and full of details but I'm not sure I'll be able to do the same things on veyr small minis.
be careful painting your hand so much, some pigments come from heavy metals. i try to keep it to my fingernail and painting rag only. cool techniques though thanks for the videos

Amazing to hear dude! Thank you so much for the support! Comments like this are the reason we're doing it 😊
this is great, been hoping to find someone do this. Looks awesome.
NMM Gold & Copper, would be great
Watch this space Ulgulu ;)
@@ArtisOpus still waiting. 🥰

Thanks, glad you liked it!
nice one again. as others have already commented, a NMM copper or gold example would be great!
Keep your eyes peeled later this week ;)

With 9th edition dropping and Necron being heavily featured, how about a video showing how to get a range of different Necron glow effects and colors?
100% on our video hit list!!
Another great video. Quickly becoming my favourite painting channel 🤟🏻🧐🤟🏻
❤️❤️❤️
Here I am, looking for some NMM ideas, waiting for me series D to arrive and you just post this. Perfect timing :)
🤘🤘🤘
Clear, concise and to the point. Moreover also pretty easy from the looks of it. I really liked this tutorial! Thank you for making it.
You are welcome - much more to come!'

Thanks Richard 😂😂
nice work mate, totaly followed

Yes 100% the plan going forward
@@ArtisOpus awesome thanks, definitely going to be investing in a set of the Series D, is there a video about the mat thing you load the paint up on and where can I get one?
nicely done ... you make it look easy, and your work encourages us to try. And good work on switching focus to catch eye contact with us.
btw - to support you I have purchased some brush sets ... I look forward to using them with my miniatures
Appreciated and thanks for the kind words!!
Really loving your drybrush set, I was hopeing you could give a recipe on drybrushing up to a near white/grey?

Artis Opus Thanks for the nurgley idea, going to be using that👍
I would consider that ABOVE table top quality. Great tutorial. I saved this and will be following it step by step. LIKED AND SUBSCRIBED!
Thanks Geoffrey!

Always invest in the D ;) haha!! NMM gold being filmed this week :)
Artis Opus awesome! Can’t wait 👍🏻
This looks like it'd be super effective using metalllic paint
Let's give it a go!
Your vids can be very relaxing lulz
😊Is it my voice?
@@ArtisOpus Very Bob Ross esque 😊
After using a wash or glaze will that get rid of the "dry" look of dry brushing ?
If you've done it delicately it shouldn't look 'dry', the glaze can outer this/ add smoothness though :)
In light of the new 40K starter boxes,do Necron warriors in normal and NMM!
I am gonna have to up my game! I'd really like doing that but it'd take a long time though😁
@@ArtisOpus is definitely settle for normal if that’s what it would take for you to tackle it! :)
Thank you for your tips. I'll try.
Gogo! Let us know how it goes in another comment, happy to answer any questions :)
tnkz a lot! i really enjoi it!
Thanks Maxi, appreciate the subs!

Copper would be good to see.
Covering copper and Bronze in one video may be a good idea... Noted!
@@ArtisOpus I love all of your video tutorials. Unfortunately I feel that you need to maybe take closer pics of the model as you go and maybe a front, side, back pic at the end of the video. This would let everyone really see what has gone into your amazing models.
Mate I'm thinking of buying a texture pallette from you, I'm curious though, what material is it?
Hey dude, it's engraved wood :)
@@ArtisOpus Sweet thank you!
you can tell when somebody is into painting miniatures when their hands look like that by the end :)
😅
Any chance you could do a dry brush tutorial on some Star Wars Legion Storm Troopers?
Great idea they are an obvious choice for whir
If you are painting a model you want lit from the front at 45 degrees, how would you do the NMM on their back? It works on the front because of the highlights, but on the back there wouldn't be much if any at all so would you just end up with a dark grey or would you still try to get darker highlights on it?
Would love to see these methods applied to models like Bonesplitterz with large areas of skin
I actually have a huge bonesplitterz army which I took to the ETC, it was a pure speed project though, so I mostly airbrushed, apart from bases, and weapons. I think I could do something pretty interesting now though.
Can you do the same with some Gondor miniatures ? Stormcast are great because they are big and full of details but I'm not sure I'll be able to do the same things on veyr small minis.
love to know how to do this in green so i can finally try out vulkan
Really nice video. I have always shied away from NMM as whenever I try it, it comes out terribly.
Already subbed, but if I could I would sub again!
Thanks so much dude! Don't fear, go steady, learn from mistakes 😊
What brand is the Matt varnish?
Vallejo Matt, although we actually ended up not needing one after the black glaze :)
Nice
:) Thanks dude!
be careful painting your hand so much, some pigments come from heavy metals. i try to keep it to my fingernail and painting rag only. cool techniques though thanks for the videos
You are very welcome Nick
Close up!
A noted mistake, we'll remedy this soon!
Not gonna lie, little salty that had I waited 1 more day to place my order I would have gotten a free M series.... your vids were just too enticing
Contact our support, may be something we can fix in your next order ;), we'll try and keep enticing!
