FUNDAMENTALS! A Complete Guide to Painting Minis.

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 มี.ค. 2024
  • This is THE Mini Painting Tutorial video that I recommend for newer painters. If I could send one tutorial video to my younger self on the day I bought my first minis, it would be this video!
    In this painting guide I use the Age of Sigmar Chaos barbarian models from the Warhammer Underworlds Nightvault crew Godsworn Hunt. I show some of my favorite ways to build, prime, and paint these models for a simple and fun look. This tutorial is designed to be accessible to anyone, and a useful resource for beginners and people interested in the fundamentals of painting warhammer minis.
    I covered as many techniques as possible, from clipping and cleaning minis, to gluing and clamping them, sub-assemblies, how to use spraypaint primer, how to zenithal highlight, how to build a wet palette, how to mix paints, how to basecoat, how to wash, how to highlight, and how to paint eyes. Then I varnish the models.
    If you think this video would be useful for someone you know, I encourage you to share it! Also, I’ll be making more videos geared for newer painters in the future- let me know what other useful straightforward techniques I should try to show and I’ll see if I can find appropriate minis! And as always, I apologize for any clickbait titles and thumbnails that I may use :-)
    Happy painting everyone!

      Goobertown Hobbies I agree! I’ve been painting for about 4-5 months or so, and have watched so many videos, read so many blogs, and books! This has all the essential info in one spot, in a really well-done format. Thanks for doing it!
      I’d love something like this on the next level of highlighting. That’s where I’m currently stuck. I feel like your teaching style would work well for that subject.
      Keep up the great work!

      You can get translucent paints too. Stuff like headlights on model cars, or gemstones on minis or figures, you start with silver, then go over it with the translucent color you need.

    I painted my first minis thanks to this informative and encouraging video. So many videos are just scaremongering (“watch this FIRST, here’s EVERYTHING YOU ARE DOING WRONG, here’s all the MISTAKES you are making etc), but this one was gentle, supportive and positive. It is so relaxing and rewarding now and I’m so happy to have started. Thanks for getting me into this!

    4:50 Get ready for Brush Painting (handles)
    5:18 Paint type manufacturers
    5:42 Wet palette
    6:24 Brushes
    6:46 The five minis (barbarians) primed and not yet painted
    7:06 Color paint 1 -- SKIN TONE
    7:20 Don't be afraid to mix colors
    7:52 Tip: write down how many drops went into a color mix if you want to recreate it later
    8:04 Start painting (Tip: use a wet brush to pick up paint from the wet palette; Water down the paint is a good idea; Two thin coats better than one goopy glob)
    10:08 OK to be a bit messy applying the first colors like the flesh tone, but need to be more careful applying the paint of the later colors
    10:33 The five minis after one coat and after two coats of flesh tone painted
    10:41 Color paint 2 -- BLACK for armor and weapons
    10:48 Color paint 3 -- STEEL; Dry Brushing technique to apply steel color onto the black sword and axe weapons

    13:35 Also using BROWN as an undercoat base color for metallic gold paint (Color paint 7)
    14:22 Color paint 8 -- BONE
    14:32 Side note: Haven't fixed any errors yet. Everything has been a single pass so far.
    14:49 Color paint 9 -- BLUE for the cloak; BLUE color has excellent coverage so only need one coat, while other colors such as Yellows for example require two coats
    15:41 Painting bases
    16:12 Tip: using darker paint colors for the base doesn't draw attention away from the figure
    16:33 Tip: a dark base color leaves room for dry brushing on some highlights
    17:18 Doing details on the bases
    17:52 Gluing the figure onto the base (Super glue is good for this)
    18:05 FIXING UP DETAILS while the colors are still fresh on the wet palette
    18:21 ALL CORE COLORS have been applied (AKA have been BASE COATED); No shading or highlighting has been done yet; No tiny details done yet such as the eyes
    18:50 Assess overall look; Change any base colors that you don't like at this point
    19:08 Washing & Shading
    22:44 DONE and ready to display on shelf or to play a game with; Or go a little bit farther by adding finer detail changes

    One thing that beginners often don't realize: Flesh tones can benefit tremendously from just a tiny touch (like, a speck on a paintbrush) of blue or green to stop them looking too orange.

    • @TinTeddyVideos
      @TinTeddyVideos ปีที่แล้ว +30

      For centurues, portrait artists, using oils, have painted an underlayer of green before painting on flesh tones.
      Green is the complimentary colour of red, and red is the base hue of most skin tones.
      The green gives the skin colour depth and vibrance.

    I became disabled 7 years ago. I studied art and animation, but I never got to take a dedicated painting course. Through a lot of life issues I did not get to pursue an art career, but I did get my diploma. Lol. I have not had any inspiration for anything all these years and people have not understood why I wasn't doing any art. I just couldn't find that inspiration, and that was depressing. I've got all this time on my hands, and God blessed me with the ability to still use my hands, and still no inspiration. Then I came across your tutorials, and Dr. Faust's, and Black Magic Crafts and so many othes. You all helped me find my inspiration, and I can't thank you enough. I remembered why I had kept all this old "junk" and bits and pieces from toys. I remembered suddenly, a wave of times I kept something, thinking I could use this someday. You guys have been teaching me how to bring those ideas to life. All I used to do was work come home then back to work. I never had time for Internet so I did not invest in it. If not for you guys and TH-cam, I never would have gained the knowledge that you so freely pass on to viewers like me. Thank you so much, and God bless. :)

      Oddly enough, this dormant interest has been restless as I have previously watched this video earlier this year.
      My son's interest is the catalyst I needed to pick up my paint brushes after 34 years (think I last painted minis in 89), and buy some tools and materials, and an old school Orc or Goblin to paint.

    As someone who sometimes does fine painting for their job: use a magnifier for those tiny details! I use an Optivisor at work, but you can also use a jeweler's glass or similar single mounted magnifying glass to really bring out the detail. Something I also do is sit in a low chair at a high table, so the tiny thing I'm working on is right by my eyes :)

    This is one of the best beginner videos I've seen. You do something I havent really seen anyone do, which is end the video with models that are good tabletop grade, instead of Golden Demon level. You also actually show the paint going on the model, how it is a little goopy and a little translucent. The GW videos (the worst offenders in my book, always show the paint going on perfect, never show what the consistancy you want is, and always end with models that are ridiculous for the level of skill of the intended audience. All that said, I'm still skipping out on the eyes, or just dabbing a bit of black in there.
    Sadly I stripped my first model years ago when I was young and stupid (or rather, younger and stupider). He was a Black Reach push fit Space Marine that I tried to match the ultramarines paint scheme on with the GW starter paint set. He looked TERRIBLE.

    Thank you for this video. I used to paint models as a kid. Now at 38, due to some surgeries, I'm stuck in the house for a few months and decided to take up painting Star Wars Legion miniatures. This video has helped lower the intimidation factor!

    Thank you!! Feeling nervous about painting my first minis for D&D and this is such a wonderful guide! Informative, calming, and not too intense! Feel much more prepared and very excited!

    I always skip eyes - dump shade in those holes and go for a darkest dungeon look.

      I only do eyes on leaders. When you do them right, it's worth it.

      I have never painted models before but I'm curious what these barbarians would look like if he painted the eyes red without the pupil. Kind of like it is always raging

    First time ever seeing your vids. Initial reaction: I just found the white Morgan Freeman of the miniatures world.
