would be great to hear how you decide where the light is coming from, how you choose dark/light placement on the model - this seems crucial in the look
@@Slouworker It isn't that simple. most of that art is 2-dimensional, whereas miniatures are 3-dimensional, but with details so small that we have to create "new" effects. With NMM, you really can choose to have the light coming from anywhere; watch Sergio Calvo explain that in one of his capibase videos.
Even when is easier to follow the English instructions, I rather to watch your videos in Spanish (Castellano) to listen to the original comments, that way I don't skip anything and practice my Spanish, so thank you for making them in both languages :D you rock Angel.
Wow, when I watch the video, it seems so easy and when I sit at my bench, it seems so hard!!! I will try to paint as you did in the video. I guess the more you practice, the more easy it becomes. I really appreciate those videos!!! Thanks!!!
I’ve just started painting and decided to try NMM on my stormcast models. I can’t believe the results all from watching this video I’ve learnt so much already. Thank you. More like videos this please 👏🏻
I greatly appreciate all the extra commentary in this video. Little tricks like how you blend out mistakes, or color choices, and the focus on the brush stroke method at the start are fantastic. I think it would be valuable to do a zoom in and demo on how thick the paint is for your starting blending some time. Definitely interested in where you take this model next, but I am also really interested in a video on how you do your wet blending in those amazing time lapse videos. Thank you for releasing these weekly videos, they are a great resource.
have to say that ‘though i’ve follow some painters on patreon, the way you use your brush is still something else thanks a lot for the tutorials - stay strong man!
I have been painting on and off for around 15 years, and while I have many techniques down, I have always been too intimidated (lazy?) To learn NMM. This tutorial is fantastic and I think will finally help me start learning the technique, thank you! Can't wait for the future videos.
That's a great tutorial - but as a beginner, I still have a long way to go. Good to know, there will be your tutorials, once I reach intermediate level ☺️ Also great to hear, the english narrator is back - this helps a lot with understanding your tutorials! 😇🙏
Absolutely fantastic tutorial, despite only getting back into painting last year the way you have broken this down makes me think I'll definitely have a go at this. I have the model so I hope you get enough likes to carry on painting her.
Great tutorial. The first time I came into contact with NMM was through your two books and the Infinity figures. 2 fantastic books that make the NMM process understandable. I learned a lot from it and made my initial fear of this sophisticated technique disappear. Thanks for this tutorial.
Hi angel, fantastic work. I've been painting for almost 2 years now and I'm pretty proud of my nmm, but I always use the same recipe, what I've seen here is something very different from what I've been doing, definitely gonna try. Next step is to wait for the intermediate gold technique lol, I've definitely loved what you made at the last CMON mini. Ty for the video.
Excellent video, just what I need. Could you mention the size of the model you paint in the video or text, as some effect works better on some model size.
Two part question - are you deciding based on where the light shines on the model when it is only primed black to pick your highlight areas? If not, how are you picking your highlight areas?
Awesome video. Really helpful ... Loved the gold NMM video and this one tops it. Those colors are pretty nice and I wouldn't have thought about adding yellow/green as last highlight. I think what most people ... me included ... struggle with is the placement of reflections. Edges are a nobrainer ... but how you place those highlights on those bigger surfaces would be interessting. P.S. And how to keep the reflections and light situation consistent without loosing detail ... and paint boring uniform surfaces because there is no effect from any lightsource.
Interesting use of warm colours in the highlights to increase contrast with the cold palette. Would the opposite hold true? e.g. if painting gold armour would you add cyan to white for the highlights?
do you follow the light sauce from your desk lamp or do you think of your own sauce ? also do you paint the whole army with the shadows and highlights in the same place on all miniatures in your army ?
This is a fantastic tutorial. Surprised to see something of this level outside of some high tier patreon. Keep up the great work, you are always a great source of inspiration, even when I am burnt out or stuck on a model. Question: How would you apply this technique on chainmail or small lamellar plates(like on old high elf models' skirts)? Because so far I've noticed that NMM works better with larger flatter surfaces like plate or bladed weapons.
Thanks for your kind words☺️. The process would be the same when you paint small surfaces but you should look more the contrast (lights and shadows) because the most important thing when you use this technique is the contrast. You have to paint one by one and exagerating the contrast. If you want, you can give me some info about problems you find when trying painting this models. Im interested in helping people with this issues and i can record some video solvin these questions that many of you use to have when painting this kind of surfaces. Any problem, just let me know ;)
Really stunning result! 👍 Thanks, Angel! Could you think about making a video showing blending in higher zoom? I tried it recently and failed. Ok, I guess, I know my mistakes ( too big brush, too much and too thick paint). Now theres a giant light grey spot on the dark armour. :-( So if you could think about a technique video for that, it would be great. Thanks in advance! :-)
Angel, is there a process for imagining where lights and shadows go on NMM? I think that is the hardest part, because some shapes aren't so simple, like convex shoulder pads (they look like bent bowls, lol).
The best way to solve this problem is watching some real metallic objects (and how to light affects them) or use some light and play with it and the metal object. This can be a way to see in your hand how light and a metal changes its L&S and just try to copy what you see. Hope it helps, if not, let me know ;)
I struggle with the placement as well, especially since most things are blends of shapes (Cylinder into a sphere into a plane etc.)and most metal source material is just a shape (sphere plane etc..) I started looking at old art instead especially 80-90's art that uses chrome. I have found art better than pictures or a miniature but everyone is different.
@@13Robzilla miniac had a video of NMM, where he painted some type of oil onto a model. then put a light where he wanted it. the oil caused these bright reflections/highlights accordingly and after a photo, you can clearly see the brighter areas vs darker.
@@AngelGiraldeZ oooh i understand, i'm from the oldschool GW "licked-layers" technique.. dont finish with white make me crazy... But i will try it for sure... I have to refresh my techniques with something new... Also your wet palette videos change my old limits... Expecially the lazyness XD
I went to this video after watching tons of more recent ones, where Angel speaks Spanish, but there are English subs... it's so weird to hear somebody speaks for him, as if somebody stole and ate Angel and now impersonates him :D Still, everything is amazing. Much better than if it was just plain Spanish with no subs for me, as I'm not ready to learn my 6th language :D
Question for long time painters but new to NMM... Do you recommend we go through the whole mini all at once to master the technique or focus on one area, like knee, or leg or chest? For me, I am still figuring out volumes and was just wondering which you think is best, hitting all the NMM areas in one pass or section by section to practice? Thank you,
Hi! The most important thing is practice! When you have small goals and a result you like you can continue to bigger areas. At first not always the NMM are well done as if you were a pro, thats why is important to practice and be patient ;) Just paint little areas until you believe you have reached the highest improving level. But remember with constant work you can achieve great results. For beginners in NMM i recommend starting with little sections and then continue with the others. When you paint a lot of them, you can see mistakes and how to solve them. Anyway, you can practise also in a big section or all areas to check if you need more practice. Just play with painting and discover which mistakes or techniques you need to work with a little bit more. As i always say, if you need help, just let me know. Im here for help ;)
Although this video is intermediate level, I think this whole process is easy... Yeah, well... I was more like: although this video is intermediate level, this whole process is on pro level 😅 this is like doing nmm and at the same time having knowledge of osl to know where to put all the highlights 😂
I know you said we have to watch how you do the brushstrokes because it's very important. But you've sped it up so much that we can't see the pressure or type of strokes you're doing. Just constructive criticism. Thanks for the video. As always, amazing work.

Super helpful tricks !
Thanks for that, great informative video from The Master!
You have earned my subscription!
Thanks for your support :)
You are the best. More lessons.
Great video. I'm struggling with my NMM and this helps a lot. Thanks!
It's great to see a new vid from ya! I'd love to see how you do large intricate armor panels on tanks or large robots!
This technique is awesome. How do you pick the colors to do NMM? Is there a video on doing that? Thanks!
nice il be trying this soon on some stormcast
The Panzer Aces series was discontinued in my area. Are there replacement colors for the panzer series you would recommend?
Great!!
Excellent video, just what I need.

Great learning video. Wondering if you would make a video for worn metal through nmm, or is that toning?
good idea, I'll do that
Thanks a lot for this video!!!
So is there a video were you tone the mini?
Damn, that looks so good.
subbed!! found your name in a nmm paint set.
Great videos! Can i ask, if i wanted a black nmm should i do only one or two highlights and blend more the paint?

Dude thank you so much for the translation. Honestly just subscribed to watch you paint but this is a wonderfully welcomed surprise
My videos are in English and Spanish so people can understand better my videos 🤗
Interesting use of warm colours in the highlights to increase contrast with the cold palette. Would the opposite hold true? e.g. if painting gold armour would you add cyan to white for the highlights?
Angel, I would like to see a strong close up of the finished leg armour. Looking forward to the next video!
On my Instagram I'll show some close up 😉
like magic.
Wahou !
do you follow the light sauce from your desk lamp or do you think of your own sauce ?
also do you paint the whole army with the shadows and highlights in the same place on all miniatures in your army ?
Hi Dave!
I use both light sauces.This way I can get more contrasts or even highlight important parts of the miniature😃
Amazing video super helpful guide! 😁 anyone know the outro song?

You should use yellow because this color gives "brightness", if you only use white, it desatures the color
