What Is your favorite painting technique?
Dotting ! .......... . . . . . . .
My favourite is glazing and I always use at least 5 layers to a highlight. Try to get a lot of contrast .... even to a point where the lowest is black and highest is white..
As you should!
What is dotting!?
Do you glaze like adding a filter?
I've been painting for 15 years and this is still incredibly helpful!
I would like to thank you for being such an excellent teacher. This video is gold for beginner painters
After watching dozens of mini painting video's, I'm finally painting my first one!
I'll be sticking with your videos to guide me through. You're the only one I've come across to actually explain how to thin the paint.
Thank you, I do my best!
dont normally comment on vids - but how you described glazing and layering made something click in my head, think ive been looking at these techniques in the wrong way for a long time haha.. great vid, will stay tuned :)
The diagrams and visual aids you include for each technique are so helpful! I also really appreciate the level of detail you go into for creating the base coat: I've never seen it described so well before!
ive watched tonnes of vids on ALL of these subjects but finally you have combined them all AND explained them clearer. Thank you!
This is excellent! Worth it's weight in gold for effectively condensing all these techniques into one clear video. Also your painting is really excellent.
As with the last video I watched from you, no word of a lie, leaps and bounds more helpful than any other tutorial ive seen since starting painting. Felt stuck and bored and this allowed me to try stuff out for myself, understanding the basics and just applying them. Why do other youtubers not bother with the basics, when clearly, many of us are just starting out painting? Well done, seriously. Subscribed.
I think this is one of the best tutorial videos I've seen. Thanks so much for this advice, especially for giving each specific tip its own individual video section. Those video timestamps are extremely useful. Even though I'd seen a lot of the techniques, I was having difficulty putting "names to faces," so to speak (for instance, I'd heard of glazing and I'd heard of the color-blending technique, but giving a specific definition really helped). I'd never actually seen the loaded-brush technique at the end before, but I really liked the cranberry-looking color gradient.
I have been looking on internet for days for someone to help me start painting thankfully found you. thank you Tony
After the seventh video on layering (what I was looking for) from different mini-painters, I found this video that had so much helpful info; not just on layering. The thinning paints explanation was SUPER useful. Thank you for the clear explanations and visual demonstrations. Top 10 best videos for beginner painters I've found so far and one I will be coming back to over and over again.
You are first to finally explain to me difference between base and layering and what layering is. Thank you so much for these great videos!
Thank you, Lyla! your videos are always informative and helpful. I really get a lot out of watching and paying attention to what processes you use. I find them very helpful indeed!
You explained every technique really well but your cat was the real star of the video :D
This is a fuuuuuucking blessing. Thank you so much for the "load up the brush" suggestion. Your Layers is awesome as well!
I was looking for how to do the lining technique ❤ Lyla saving my life every time. Love your style and the totally unpretentious approach you have to explaining this stuff!
A wonderful guide for beginning and intermediate mini painters. Some of the best explanations of terms and techniques that I've seen yet. And a good documentary of the chaos that is cats.
TY for leaving the crazy cat I could not stop laughing. just 2 min in. love it ..
Thank you! I love my cats, they are full or mischief and chaos!
ok watched it all now and just wanted to add..it was a great vid you explained it all rather well. one of the best I have seen. please keep up the outstanding content. I am going to try the things you showed as i just usually paint to table top standard. thank you for the video., it helped alot.
I know right, it was so funny I literally could not stop laughing. I'm crying here. It was one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen on you tube. I've watched the video 11 times now just to see the cats antics and it keeps getting funnier every time I see it.
I just found your channel recently and I love it! The beginning of this was mostly redundant for me but there were plenty of cool WIPs to check out. Wet blending is something I struggle with so that was super helpful and loaded-brush is something I'd heard of, but hadn't seen but I'm super excited to try now.
I hope to see a lot more from your channel in the future!
Just started painting this month. Excited to try out wet blending and glazing! Thank you for sharing!!!!
Painting again after a long absence is what I'm looking forward to.
Thankyou for explaining each of these steps, this video is more helpful than you may realize as alot of others just harp on about what they are doing as opposed to explaining how they do it. 😊
I've watched a lot of videos on these topics, so maybe its just finally hitting me, but they never really connected like this one did. Thank you!
Excellent video Lyla! The wet blending is what I want to do more of. Thanks.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm very new to painting and this video gave me the courage to try layering. It's not the best result but something "clicked" and I kinda understand the process. Thank you for helping me imrprove! I will check out more of your videos for sure.
Thank you for making such a complete and informative video that introduces all the painting skills.
Again, your video does a better job of teaching me than all of those other channels. I like them, they're awe-inspiring, but this channel is just inspiring, something they're not.
Great overview for a beginner like me to see the different techniques in one video. Thanks a lot!
i love your videos, they appeal to me perfectly and your minis are awesome, but the best thing about your videos is that you have helped my wife learn and get better and most importatnly more interested in mini painting. thank you so much and keep up the good work!
Very helpful video, thanks so much for posting it.
probably the best tutorial on thinning paints. great work.
Awesome, thank you very much for showing absolutely everything from how paint looks too thick or too thin!!
Again, thank you very much!!
Great explanations. Thanks for making the video.
This was super helpful for brush loading, thanks!
Great video! Thanks! Watched over and over again....
Hadn't seen the loaded brush technique before, definitely want to try it out now. Thanks for sharing it!
Great editing and video. Thank you
Nice job on breaking down the sections. I've got a few friends interested in starting to paint their gaming figures I think this is a perfect starting point.
I like your videos! I keep coming back and learning new things each time; and I've been at it since 1983!!
Great video! It's nice to get a concentrated overview for beginners like myself. I just wanted to note that inks come both as pigments or dyes depending on which you buy, so don't assume they're all dyes.
This video is pure gold! Thank you for this!
This is my go to "brush up" video.
Ty
Thank you for this. I’m new to painting and have been searching for a tutorial like this for a while now. Thank you so much.
Now if I could just find this good if a video about airbrushing I’d be golden.
Hi Lyla, thank you very much for your hand work on these videos
Thank you so much! All of these techniques were so clearly explained!
Your videos are amazing. Thank you for your wisdom!!
Very interesting. You made it all very interesting and informative without being boring. Thank you!
catching up on your posts, you give such good advice to both newbs and established hobbyiests ou def get it
Thanks for this, I've always been a big baby about thinning down my paints. This gives me a bit more confidence to give blending a try. Cheers from Canada!
Really understandable explanations, excellent work. 😎
I just found this channel and love your videos. Thanks so much! And Mochi is the cutest!!
Thanks for another great video, with such clear explanations of each technique :)
Great work as always. Timely (for me) and super accessible.
Thank you for the informative video and clear explanations. This has been extremely helpful!
great section on thinning paint, likely the best i've come across!
I'm looking forward to trying wet blending. Thanks a lot.
Wow. That was a massive amount of info in one video. Thanks.
I have watched other painting tutorials but your videos are honestly hands down the best thank so much please keep posting more I am working on a new kill team squad and thos really help up my game thank you 😊
Excellent advice! Thank you
I'm finally getting a handle on feathering/two brush blending, so since I've not attempted wet blending yet, and I've never heard of the loaded brush technique until I watched this video, I will have to try those techniques. I'm a new subscriber because I'm always on the lookout for new painters I can pick up inspiration and new ideas from, and I really like your presentation and overall demeanor in your videos so far. And as a fellow cat minion, I can relate--every time I get painting, Maxkat usually starts hollering at me, demanding I stop everything and commence worshiping him post haste. We love our little fuzzy psychopaths, now, don't we?
Awesome video, thank you so much!!
Honestly, I've watched far too many hours of youtube over the last 9 months-ish since I started painting, and this is the best explanation I have found for some of the more "taken for granted as easy and obvious" stuff. I don't know if it speaks to the quality of your content, or the lack of quality of the biggest channels =/
Either way cheers, I learned a lot!
Extremely valuable video, thank you, as a beginner, I learned a lot. Of course now comes the most complicated things: try, fail, try again, (fail again?) until a not too bad figure come to life with colors 😊👍🏻
Lovely! More useful info than the last 6 videos I've watched combined.
I really enjoyed the work you put in on this tutorial, different methods of painting techniques … special effects.. I will watch it over and over till I perfect it… thank you.. from Aiken South Carolina.✝️❤️🇺🇸🤠😎😸🙀
Great tutorial. Thanks!
Great! You make things so easy to understand, thank you!
Thanks very much for the tips well explained!
Great video! I've known about lining for many years but have never seen anyone use or talk about it! Keep up the amazing work! -John
Thanks so much for this video! I've been painting for a while, but a lot of times I was struggling with how to properly apply them, specially how to thin my paint now that I switched to a wet pallette!
(gotta love Mochi going crazy in the video)
I really love the way you explain each technique, straight to the point, clearly and concisely. I will put these great tips into practice.
very beginner friendly
Thank you so much for these! I definitely have anxiety over just putting any paint on a model but I know painting more minis is just going to help me
Nice video. Keep up the good work!
Very very newbie to mini painting and love your channel. Really fab hints, tips and techniques
Just stumbled across your channel... you do great work, i hope you are still active
thanks for the lesson and explaining it so well... it will be a big help at the bench!
Thanks for explaining layering! Dig the pyramid analogy.
Great video! Very concise! I've been playing with different techniques and this just reinforced that I was doing them correctly / incorrectly! :)
Amazing you have given me the urge to try wet blending and glazing again 🙌🏻👏🏻ty
Thanks for your useful channel, I'm definitely excited to try some of the things I've seen in this video.
Regards from Perth, Australia 👍😊
Great video!
Love everything about it (the fun, the explanations, the chapters, etc..)
+1 sub right here!!
Nice! I'll probably send newbies to this video since it's basically a fantastic glossary of these terms!
Yeeeeah someone who I can understand from start to finish! Thank you for sharing your clear concise video it's been a joy to watch. Don't you just love cat's lol, we have 5 of em. Take care 👍😷👍🏴
good vid, nice technique demos. Also... Good kitty!
Great video, and cool tip on thinning the paint... the snow plow method... I like it.
Great video. I love how you hold your brush when detailing.
Very good explanations of Painting skills
Wonderful and informative, thank you so much!
Easy decision to subscribe! Amazing tutorial, keep it coming 👌🏻
thanks for this, it was very helpful
A must video for everyone that is starting the hobby!
your video is helpful. in fact i just share it with a friend so he could have a good explanation and visual
Thank you for this video! I've been trying to learn the various blending methods but have been struggling. Your advice of using the belly of the brush I think is the key I was missing!
Another very interesting video on this channel. In this case the main painting techniques are clearly explained. Very instructive. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
-"Un altre video molt interessant en aquest canal. En aquest cas queden clarament explicades les principals tècniques de pintura. Molt instructiu. Gràcies per compartir els teus coneixements."
The snowplow analogy was really helpful, thanks for that!
Hey Lyla, I find your videos useful and very easy to follow. Since I started to watch them my painting skills have improved a lot and I'm looking forward for more . Thank you so much and keep it up!
Thank you! These of comments are why I love to do this!
Loved the explanation of what the different blending techniques are best at. Just starting out, and it clicked on a few lightbulbs.
Thanks! And here's a like, comment and subscribe. Hope your channel blows up quick
Thank you for this! I really had problems with my paint consistency and this helped immensely in how to know when my brush and paint are ready for the model! ;)
This was super useful - I had misundestood some of these. Not anymore!
I'm just going to start thinning my own paints, as currently I get my partner to do it... Thank you for this video, will be good to learn all these skills, in time :)
