Hedge highlighting... absolutely love it and it is now what it it will officially be called. :)
It’s clearly gonna be a meme lol
One thing I will say for other new painters, and painters who feel like they're stuck in a rut - You'll never learn how to edge highlight, glaze, NMM, or any of these more complicated things until you actually try them - You just have to understand that it's a skill like any other - Pro painters weren't divinely chosen at birth to be able to edge highlight. It takes genuine work and genuine time to improve as a painter, and the best way to learn is to just go ahead and do it! Watch videos like this, then copy the technique. Your first result will probably not look perfect, but with edge highlights you can always neaten up your lines with the basecoat. Keep doing it, and i guarantee you that within a couple of hours you'll have made absolutely insane progress.
I have incredibly unsteady hands, and nowadays I'm finally able to edge highlight, and it honestly it didn't take me too long to learn it once I just decided to, you know, actually do it. I have really bad ADHD so it's incredibly easy to get discouraged when your first edge highlight looks like a sadge highlight, but just keep going, keep working at it and you'll be amazed how much you can learn :)
Also, this video really spoke to me - I haven't been the biggest fan of all of your videos but you've really grown as a creator and I hope you manage to go full time! Anxiety is an absolute pain to deal with, and my ADHD came with a ton of it, so seeing someone actually present on camera despite the anxiety is really inspiring.
And since you mentioned coaching, I absolutely encourage anyone to do it - It's a bit expensive in most cases, but I did a few coaching sessions and they helped me out an absolute ton!
This just got recommended to me out of nowhere and just wanted to say thanks! I have struggled edge highlighting and this finally got me to a spot where I felt comfortable doing it with models I care about
Commenting for the algorithm. Good luck going full time!
Same for me.
Oh are we talking algorithms in this mother
I’m painting the mother of all algorithms here Jack. Can’t fret over every edge.
As a beginner, this helped immensely and kind of put my mind at ease, because ya know, ANXIETY.
SUBSCRIBED!
I read ur channel name as “Ataxia painting studios” and I was thinking Ahhh, perfect, the painting teacher for me.
You are absolutely delightful. I love your personality and delivery. Best of luck going full time!
Good luck going full time Alice! If you could do the cloak video about highlight placement, that would be awesome.❤
Heck yes, good on ye!!! Here’s to lots of good growth!
I’m happy to see this video. This is where I’m at in my personal development
I like the point about paint consistency.
Great video, thank you for showing this off. It's something I struggle with
This was great, I enjoyed the way you presented the information and it was entertaining too!
Great stuff, as always!!
Hope your situation works out, I've been following since your first videos
I like your Videos. And thank you for taking us on this ride. I'm looking forward for what is to come.
I'm subscribed. I hope this works fulltime for you. I like your videos, great advice. I've been painting minis for 40 years and I'm still learning.
Subscribed, super good advice. My hands are super shaky due to drinking when i was young, so edge highlights are quite the challange for me 😆
Wish you all the best going fulltime!
I love everything about this video! Perfect timing. im practicing edge highlights and im having trouble finfing the right shade.
New sub! Good luck!
Best of luck going fulltime!
Your content is great!
I haven’t painted any models yet and find your videos very informative. I look forward to seeing more!
I recommend jumping right in. Give yourself time to learn.
Algo love! Good topic, and good advice!
90% of edge highlighting can be achieved with a drybrush before detail (and I don't mean uncontrolled brushing of the entire model). If you so wish you can use a larger brush and the same base paint to first brighten the tone, then add a small amount of some brighter shade (white can be too bright for some colours, and wash out greens and turn reds to pink, so look to yellow and oranges) and run around the edges and brush over the most prominent features. A final small brush over with a true "highlight" tone can be used after to pick out fine edges. A wash can then be used to bring the tones in line if needed. This whole painting fine lines to accentuate a 3 dimensional object is objectively clunky, just like the old "black line around edges" was.
I love your videos they make so much sense 🙂
Thanks for another great educational video! I am a subscriber and hope you can do this full time.
Cool video - you are doing super good videos, funny, honest, great painting and nice editing - keep it up
Subbed and commenting for the algorithm!
This was a fantastic video and very well explained, shows tou know your stuff especially to someone that is now getting into the painting side of the hobby and im very excited, so far ive only painted about 10 minis and a few other smaller things and I think for my second time ever painting minis i did a decent job. I'm looking forward to your new videos and I'll be checking your older ones out!
Really good video, thank you for your advices!
I like your expression :) Good luck with full time YT!
Good luck going full time, Alice. Love your content.
The brush does 90% of the work here. I absolutely recommend everyone get themselves a natural bristle brush for their detail works. Eyes, faces, highlights. You will get much more confident very quickly.
Good luck going full time, I know you’ll succeed, because you’re awesome 😊
Great Video, hope you can go fulltime!
Thank you for this video!
Great video! Best wishes for the future!
Nice video, really liked the vibes !
Good luck!
Ideal timing, just trying to up my highlighting game, good luck going forwards 😁😷💪
Great tips here - nice work
Nice job and dark angels RULE!!!!!!
I subscribed because you said please. Manners matter. Good luck going full time! You can do it!
Thanks for the video.
Good luck going full time!
Brilliant video good luck

Enjoyed your style and picked up some good ideas
More algorithm -- keep going, you make really good content
The best luck going full time youtuber!
The bit about highlighting cloaks has been...Enlightening...
*ba dum tsss*
This made my day
Thanks :)
Very informative! I've been putting off painting a squad of robed cultists, so I would love to know more about painting cloth
Good luck going full time!!!!😊
All best
Your videos on painting miniatures are
inspiring. On more than one occasion your use of color was absolutely astounding! Which leads me to this.
Your video about hedge highlights, several times, a space marine, purple in tone, is being painted upon. What paints and process did you use to get that awesome purple?
It took me a while to realize you were using a sound effect and not just punching your microphone...
Very good video, by the way!
Great description and examples of consistency
Good luck with going fulltime
Very helpful!
Awesome video
Concave surfaces get highlights even if recessed blew my mind. Great tip
Good tips APS - Thankyou UM40
If you go in hard and give it your best shot you'll never die wondering.
Yo yo goooood luck !
Thank you
Would definately want to see a video just on highlighting robes and cloth.
Also good luck with doing this full time!

i lick my brush to get the right paint consistency
The Games Workshop "house style" over time came to push edge highlights to a crazy degree. This was largely done to show off the details of models in close up photography. It isn't at all realistic or logical for light though. This isn't saying it looks "bad" - it's an aesthetic. But it also isn't the "right way" to paint things.
One purpose of edge highlights on miniatures is to push readability. To make different models easily identifiable and stand out from the table, scenery, etc. Going by this standard, view specific parts need to be overtly highlighted. For example, on a space marine, the edges of the shoulder pauldrons, top of the helmet, and top ridge of the weapon.
Won many best painted.
Never edge highlighted the whole mini in my entire life.
Drybrush for life.
GL making your way with aa TH-cam Job!😉
I drink a beer after i have a coffee. Stops my shakey hands every time
Highlighting 🎉🎉
Highlight the hedges da!
I think the issue I have with edge highlighting might be how I'm mixing the paint. I don't have steady hands at all, but even when I try every measure to minimise that I still end up with blobs of paint that I have to tidy up after. I think the issue I have is either there isn't enough paint on the brush, so barely anything shows, or it's too thin and acts almost more like a contrast paint and goes everywhere. I think I need to work out the consistency of my paint before applying it.
Good luck
Hello I really enjoyed this video very much. I'm a beginner at painting miniatures, but not beginner at artwork. I just started painting miniatures in the last two months. Do have any recommendations for types of miniature paints, brushes to use. Thank you
Love the info, subscribed
My hands get so shaky at times that I have to take a break.
Or sometimes my depth perception goes away and I put paint where it shouldnt go or put too much on.
I think it's a combination of my lamp being subpar and being extremely unhealthy.
Anyways, thanks for the vid and I wish you well with your mini painting career I hope it keeps getting better for you
I've been postponing the edge highlighting of my 95 (too dark) black and red Cadian infantry for a while now out of sheer dread. This video was just what I needed to get started. Thanks for good tips as always!
Mh.. Should I use a brighter red, a warm orange, or a warm yellow for highlightning Mephiston Red edges for my black and red lava theme? Wondering if shifting hue would look good or not. Kinda tricky to know with a light red/green colour blindness.
Ill finally be able to highlight my blightkings! :D
cool vid
very nice
subbed and a comment for the algorithm
So if i highlight my blackprimed Marines, what is the easiest way of getting that blue, green or red omän without destroying that amazing lining? Sponge? Drybrush? Stippling? Awesome video and ill definitely try this with my next model!
Good luck going full time.
out of curiosity what brush do you use for edge highlighting? I've been using the medium layer brush from citadel for a while now
Best of luck going fulltime. I also vote for a cloak, cloth highlight video.
Hi! I'm new in this hobby and I'm making a Blood Angels team of intercessors (by now). Which color should I use to highlight the dirty red I used to paint them? Thanks in advance!
I’d use the same red you see on the text in the thumbnail! And then adding some skintone to it if you really wanna push
I always rest my hand on something when I doing edging.
Alright, subscribing for cloth tutorial. I've got cultists to paint.
Interesting vid, though i dont completely agree with your broad statement that organic matter shouldn't have an edge highlight.
Bone for example, or chitin in nature often has hard edges, particularly when fractured.
I've learned for black, the issue with volumetric highlights is the gray in the first place.
Black gloss materials show a LOT of color. The darker your glossy material is, the more color it will reflect, and black is the extreme of this. Don't believe me? Well your brain instinctually knows this because you've seen black cars all your life. Go look at some, or check some reference images.
For black to "read" as high gloss black in a real situation, don't highlight with gray, highlight with what it would reflect. For the upward facing reflections it would be a transition from dark blue to light blue as you get closer to where it would reflect the sun, with a warm spot highlight for the sun itself. For bounce reflections, they would be whatever color the ground around them is
For any that want a recipe, I do this primarily in oils because it's easier. Also I find it's easier if I go part by part around the model.
Paint everything on that part whatever black oil paint you have. Then hit everything that's upward facing with phthalo blue. Next over top that put a warm light color like a pale skin color wherever the light bounces off the shiny phthalo blue. Blend the colors together with a dry Philibert/small dry brush. This should turn the phthalo into sky blue near where the highlight was placed. If the highlights aren't strong enough reinforce the highlight again, and blend it in more.
For bounce reflections, hold it under a bright light and stick a piece of white paper under the model and see where the bounce reflections are. Paint anything that lights up when you put the paper under it with a muted version of the color you have on the ground around it. I used chromium oxide so it would look like there was grass around it.
When the oil paint is fully dry (may take a couple days) do the final spot highlights with whatever oil or acrylic paint you want.

GW white paints are the pain on your brush 3:06
🌟ANXIETY!🌟
It took me 20 YEARS of EDGING
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My hands shake like hell, and it's getting worse
Rest the Pinky of the brush hand on the base of the mini. It helps A LOT
