👑👑👑 I'm in the midst of releasing my dream miniature brush as well as some wonderfully sculpted miniature busts mid June 2020. It's something I'm really proud of and been working on for the better part of the last year. You can already pre register your interest on my Kickstarter page: bit.ly/3dKjmnz 👑👑👑
It's a technique used in many old paintings. Look at 'Dante & Virgil' by Bougoureau (classical painting). The essence is: prime with a very dark, warm tint (often Burnt Umber or even red) and establish the shapes on that (not necessary on miniature), add the darkest points/shadows with a transluscent dark blue/brown, then work up to the mid-tones/primary colour of the surface with a less transluscent colour (yellow in this case) to create volume. That gives you the kind of surface Peña uses, which is amazing to then layer and work on. What many people don't understand is: to get a really vibrating dark/black-ish colour, or a very vibrant light, the worst thing you can do is use black or white. A professional/realistic painter rarely uses pure white/black in anything because it flattens all the other colours. It's mostly a mix of ultramarine blue and vandyke brown/dark brown. Reason being that: if you then layer in contrasted colors on top, those colours all work together creating something approaching real-life. That is: unless you're painting 80's metal style, that just all-white highlights. But it's a stylistic choice.
I been collecting marines for 23 years now on and off, got loads and you can see the difference from when I started painting till now but will never get around to updating the older ones, wish I could have painted them all like I can now., learning from dudes like you!!
I like both the undershading (even though it didn't work for you on this one) as well as the manual way you fixed it. Both are really good for Yellow which can pain people (myself included.) Thanks!
Truly love your videos. The pacing, lighting and content is awesome. Only got into painting just a few weeks ago. Sadly my hands shake a fair amount so I do my best but getting better slowly. Keep it up
I just wanted to drop in a sec, and say thanks for the tip about coconut fiber. I actually found it at PetSmart (a chain pet store in the US), and for surprisingly dirt cheap. I also snagged a bag each of the larger bark pieces (I already have a bucketload of the smaller stuff, like for tiny lizards; the bigger ones are for larger lizards, and are like what you use for basing and larger terrain pieces) and ground walnut shells (it's tiny enough to work on bases and terrain as smaller stones, loose gravel, etc.). This ought to up my basing and terraining a fair bit, as it's something that was definitely lacking thus far. My minis all thank you kindly.
Hey pal I've been getting back into painting minis after about fifteen yrs away from it so came on here for abit of inspiration. Let me tell you after finding your channel your vids give bags of inspo and more great job really got me building my tools and paints up again slowly but surely. So inspired. Thanks
Hey friends! I hope you learned something from my mistake, and instead of accidentally having 50/50 color and ink, what i've done before that worked way better is more of a 20/80 acrylics vs ink.

Hi Squidmar. I just thought of an challage that might be a good idea. Imagine your about the play a game and need one extra model. Your friends are waiting and you have 5 mins to find, build, base and paint a mini to get it on the table. What would you do?
@@SquidmarMiniatures I also had another idea. You could try to paint a space marine with inverted highlighting. Light colours in shadows and recesses and dark colours for xenithal and Edge highlighting. Opposite to how you normally paint.
Looking back at this, I love the idea of preshading with Red and going up to white, and then spraying on yellow. I bet if you used Contrast Ilyanden Yellow it would have come out perfect, the contrast is so translucent. I'm gonna try =p
Great looking mini. Love that reddish shade to contrast the yellow. Even with that fancy mini holder, you still managed to get him in your fingers for some close up work :)
Would love to see some budget painting guides, like if you can't afford getting an airbrush with compressor and some of the more fancy gear. Just like simple paints and brushes, but lovely model, dude! :)
@@SquidmarMiniatures there's something satisfying about painting yellow! I've been using the magenta basecoat for a while now and it always confuses people when they ask what my scheme is. Makes for a good conversation
@@SquidmarMiniatures my new scheme for my Imperial Fists is. .Magenta base .Gold Yellow (Game Air) building up intensity. .Sun Yellow (Game Air) 45° angle. .Moon Yellow (Game Air) zenithal from directly above. .Add a little white and spot highlight (Helmet, shoulders, top of knees. The usual focal points) .Pin/Recess wash Carabourg Crimson (Citadel) this works well going back to the magenta and keeps a warm look. .Glaze back in the shadows with various browns. .Glaze extreme highlights with bone colour and edge highlight selected sharp edges at the same time. That's pretty much it for how I'm doing them now. Was gonna make a tutorial as my first painting vid on my channel as not many people know the magenta trick. I'm just gonna send them here instead!
These videos make me realize how useless i'm and how little I know about painting. :D Only reason i always wanted to do modeling and jump into WH40K but never dared to. But at least i can watch the pros doing this awesome work :D
Hey, I heard that it’s hard to paint yellow. Is that the case? And can you paint a yellow marine without a airbrush. I’m just getting started and don’t have all the materials yet.
Another new painter question: Is it easier to paint assembled minis or in parts? I'm having difficulty getting into some of the recesses and under bits to get a more competed model.
From a newbie: you have the model on a "dummy" base while painting it, and then making the final base later? how do you fasten the model to the dummy base and the final base respectively?
@@SquidmarMiniatures in my opinion they are fine for fast tabletop painting, in any other case for the amature specialy they are to hard to work with ofc if someone wish good results. Ive restart my journey with painting few weeks ago and ive try contrast paints but for me standard acrylic paints from gw or vallejo looks much smoother and easy to work with
Hey Squid. I notice you and others love to use their dry pigments to add some great depth to the models. But one thing I rarely ever hear discussed is their durability. If you're leaving this model finished with pigments as you have, does that mean it's a display model that no longer gets handled? If you were intending to use it for play, would you seal it with varnish? And if so, how would you ensure it maintains the natural dry effect the pigments are intended to produce?
@@fruitytoots4133 Thanks mate! I didn't even realize a pigment fixer was a thing...until you mentioned it and I now remember seeing it when I purchased a few AK pigments in-store the other month. This should save some trouble!
I have a dream of doing a couple next year, it depends a bit on the family situations. It's always hard with 3 kids, one thats just a few months old :)
Its very nice when you look from far away but when you get closer you see the rush. The helmet is unpainted and the recesses are not painted dark. even the purity seal is not done. there is no scribt on it.
Like always incredible!! Im improving a lot my painting just looking at your videos!! Really thanks(: Can you also show how to paint salamanders? jeje Stay like this, very good work;)
awesome work!, i was debating with my brother after seeing the pics on IG, on wich technique did you used... he was sure you used contrast paints, and i was sure you didn't... so i guess i won, hahaha.
Nice ! 😍 You hear what i said ! Fabulous. For coco fibre you said you can use other things... 😂 Cool ! 😍 😉 Continue great painting great ideas i completely agree that you have to live with this Chanel. I support thé time i can support with 💵 i ll. Not today but i ll think of it. Great support. Thanks again

Thx mate!
this video single handed got me into warhammer 40k
I've watched your youtube channel more than I've watched anything on Netflix during the lockdown, I think it's time to sub to Patreon!
Value sketching. As a total noobe, this really works miracles. on capes and large "wavy" areas.. hit it with good quality ink, and Boom!!
I’ve watched all your videos now. I started painting a few weeks ago and you’re really helping me

"Va-ye-ho" is correct, double Ls are Y sounds and Js are H sounds.

Was looking forward to this! Nice one!
Awesome
How are you sealing dry pigments on base? REALLY thanks for yours job! You are inspiring me to try new things and evolve in hobby. Thanks once more
Your videos are the best! Could you make a asmr time lapse of you painting? Maybe some soft background Nordic music
This is convenient. I just started repainting my Imperial Fists

congrats! great work :)
Köpte precis en AS186 kompressor efter att jag såg dig rekommendera den! Första gången jag testar airbrush, så ska bli riktigt kul :)
Spännande! Du har mycket roligt framför dig! :)
i love it.. u are really amazing.. i need to do the same tecnike whith other colors... and now i have a really good idea.. thnkz so much..
Any chance we can get some more age of sigmar stuff? 99% of TH-cam is space marines already 😁😁😁 Also: awesome work
For sure there will be! :D I try to find balance with all games/styles of painting and hobbying! AOS is my main game!

Use a pigment fixer regardless if its a gaming piece or display piece. Better to be safe than sorry. Varnish your model as per normal.
@@fruitytoots4133 Thanks mate! I didn't even realize a pigment fixer was a thing...until you mentioned it and I now remember seeing it when I purchased a few AK pigments in-store the other month. This should save some trouble!
when will you paint that beautiful dankhold troggoth?!
Oh yeah, that one 😬😂i had an idea of painting a warband for golden demon. Still just 50% done with the first one
Do you plan on entering any painting competitions in the future? Awesome videos by the way. I really enjoy your content.
I have a dream of doing a couple next year, it depends a bit on the family situations. It's always hard with 3 kids, one thats just a few months old :)
I had to pull the trigger and order those inks because of this video...
Oh man, you have some fun coming up! :D
Excelente!!!
Its very nice when you look from far away but when you get closer you see the rush. The helmet is unpainted and the recesses are not painted dark. even the purity seal is not done. there is no scribt on it.
Yeah sure it would look different if i spent 40h on it :)
Brilliant! How do you fix the pigments to avoid they fall off the mini after stippling?
I 2nd this
can you suggest an underpaint for space wolves with "default" color scheme ( russ grey and fenrisian grey for light )
can you do one of black power armor
Thank you for brilliant vid! Any chance for Dark Angels painting tutorial with similar technique?
do something on a reaper miniature!
What is it exactly you want me to do on a reaper mini? 😱😂
Like always incredible!! Im improving a lot my painting just looking at your videos!!
Really thanks(:
Can you also show how to paint salamanders? jeje
Stay like this, very good work;)
Nice!!
Where do you get those big super glue bottles? I never see them sweden :-)
Lol, i should put the sound on next time. Army Painter Superglue :-)
Thx for the great videos
great video, thanks! out of interest, what airbrush is that?
ignore me, i found it on your website from the link at the end of the video

I prefer yours tbh
So I fallow you on IG by the name of Grumpy Panda miniatures. My question is , were you going for a NMM?
