For me 4 hours would be an incredibly fast mini. The only actual army I ever tried was my space marines and that took much longer as I was picky about each of my soldiers looked before they died a horrible painful death on the table. Do blood bowl teams count? I saw some good tips in there. Face and skin first then working your way out is good until I realize my mini is really over accessorized. Great looking mini!
Thanks! Yes, I believe blood bowl counts.... i count any mini your painting. I still prefer to take longer, but sometimes you just have to rush. I think 4 hours is really fast for a quality mini.
And it's really too bad when they over accessorize a mini. I don't like that as I feel it's unnecessary and always takes the focus to the wrong place and hides a bit of the paint job.
just my two cents, but speed painting doesnt always equal it being a rush job. I enjoy the speedpaint process, certainly not rushing through them at all though.
Everyone has their own speed painting process. I'd love to hear yours! I also think enjoyment rules all, so if you have a system you enjoy, you're golden. That's what really matters.
@@mandysminis i rarely prime in black, generally i prime gray and then dry brush white. I did prime with necrotic flesh, and dry brush with a really light tanish white for a horde of zombies once which came out cool, but beyond that I guess i just take my time a bit more. I see some people rock out multiple minis in like an hour. My mind just wont allow me not to be more detailed about it. so technically it's speed painting, but i also still go back in and dress it up a bit more. also i hate eyes. sooooo much.
I agree. I can paint fast, but I'd rather enjoy it and take my time. That's the point of a hobby, right? The details really make all the difference. Eyes are a challenge. Did you see my video on how I do them? It works for me. It just takes practice. Lots and LOTS of practice.
Im not a huge fan of speed painting myself. although painting armies does have a benefit. Nice job on those eyes! Keep up on the amazing work!
