Thanks! I was actually scared as I think it is too saturated. Notice, when I am scared of the saturation, I immediately think with Speedpaint medium? 😅
As always, the quality of work you achieve with speed paint is just stunning. I love when people want to insult the techniques. They clearly can’t be watching the actual work you do. As always, I appreciate your tutorials!
When you have the fundamentals of art and you have clarity of what you want to communicate and how, I think that's the real key or path for making good art. Slapchop is one more technique to achieve this. Those who insist on saying whether a technique really gives you true art, is because they don't understand the above point. Art is a form of communication. Be it through words, an image, a video. This is just one more variable, but not a definitive one. A miniature, a canvas, a song. Each one is a universe of its own. And curiously, how much do we really know about how each of these was made? How many golden demons do we not know that it was made with a Drybrushing or a Slapshop? Questioning a technique is like questioning a path to a result. If the result is great, why question the technique or tool? Great video as always Don!
also i don't have a lot of time for or a great setup to paint. i like the look of slapchop and really appreciate the consistency and time savings. so any technique that can make this process looking better and better is totally amazing for me, especially if it's additive. haters can go away lol
this new series on double slapchop or slapchop on slapchop is fantastic. would really appreciate an idea of what base speedpaint/highlight speedpaint combo you think works well. or just more videos on this idea.
I'm loving slapchop, but I think I understand where the negative vibes from these people. They're probably individuals on the learning path trying to get better at traditional layered acrylic painting but realizing that their favourite youtubers who make it look easy are actually terrifyingly talented painters and that getting a perfectly smooth 'eavy metal look is actually exceptionally difficult and time consuming. Then slapchop comes along and gets fantastic visual results with (comparatively) little skill so they become frustrated that an "easy" method can surpass what they're currently capable of so they lash out. I'm not saying this is how one SHOULD be reacting, but I think it's probably the psychology at play here. Yes, slapchop won't win a competition. Yes, traditional painting can reach a higher peak - but most people aren't Sam Lenz. Me doing normal acrylic layers vs. a slapchop means the layer approach will look worse cause I'm not that good at painting.
@DonSuratos yung drybrush na prime from black to white, pwede na pang display parang black and white and datinf hehehehe, salamat master sa pag share mo ng mga kaalaman mo isa kang alamat brother🙂 God Bless You🙏
Ive had a lot of fun experimenting with speed paint medium the last few months. For a recent Battletech paint scheme I thinned Magic Blue to 1:8 paint to medium and came out with this nice sky blue.
I found a 1:1 ratio of Tyrian Navy to medium results in almost the exact same blue as the 143rd legion blue guardsman scheme. Using it now and my coats are finally highlighted well lol. I'm so bad at doing folded clothes right. I'm also using the Warpaints Fanatic acrylics - they're fantastic in their opacity but sometimes I wonder if they're TOO opaque. Like I'll thin Night Sky blue down like 1:6 for a glaze type thing and it still covers like crazy.
I used your double slapchop method to paint a troll/ogre 3D print and it turned out amazing. I'm extremely happy with it. Only took a few hours. I just want to have the minis I own look good and cohesive. I'm not trying to become a "great painter" like the highlighted comment suggests. I'm just a guy who enjoys colouring up some figures on the weekend. I'm never going to win a golden demon and mini painting isn't the focus of my life, it's just a fun hobby to me and I like to play with different techniques. Next up I'll probably try slapchopping an Ork killteam.
Great video (like always) and technique!!! I love it!!! Is something different and faster to get a finished miniature. In my case I have a full-time job, wife and two kids that one of them have special needs. So, my time is very minimal for me to sit and have a full session of painting like I will love to have. The only time that I have is when everyone is sleeping. I see miniature painting like cooking. Some people have time to prepare a full meal, others like me some times only have the time to prepare a Pb and J sandwich. The thing is, there's no one method to paint a miniature. Like cooking, there's is no one way to cook for example chicken. There hundreds of ways to cook it. Some ways take hours, others take half of the time. The important thing is is what you like and the way you like to paint, not what others like. Imagine that DaVinci, Rembrandt, Van Gog and Michelangelo painted the same way because they think that there's only one way to do it. Everything will be boring and without of purpose or self expression. Sometimes we forget the meaning of the word hobby..... "is a past time to enjoy relaxation.... not to create stress". In the end is what works for you not what works for others. Not every time what works for one person will work for you. Like I said, awesome video! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and talent with us!!! I can wait for the next video!!!
Instead of slap chop the first time. You also can prime black and use the sponge with a redish brown, to highlight the higher areas. Then drybrush with white. After that, slap chop. Thats how i do it
I know it's the accent (not being disrespectful; I can only speak one language), but I love Don sounds like he is saying "slopchop". I think that what we should call it; it sounds like a better description because of the way most of us apply the technic. Keep up the great videos!
The mini after the first round of slapchop looks a lot like mine when I'm applying my standard process: I prime in a dark chocolate browm, then airbrush a zenithal gradiant of lighter brown up to ivory. I then apply a light white drybrush for extra crispiness. Only then do I deem my minis ready for the contrast paints. The brown gradient instead of whote on black is because translucent paints don't look good at all over black paint. Using a dark colour instead of black gives more than enough contrast.
What I realised after a few chop faces, is that i don't like choped faces 😅. They look way too dark. What I usually do now, is white underpainting for skin and faces, skin SP, maybe some wash over, then chop all over, another skin tone and highlighting. And at the end it looks like a clown anyway, gotta practice more 😀 Maybe one question, when you do the highlighting, do you mix fanatics with stabilizer on the wett palet?
Bro. Slap chop is great. I see youtubers enter the golden demon who are monumentally better than I'll ever be and they still don't win, really the only thing to worry about is, do you like your army and did you have fun painting it?
There is no difference between contrast vs layering vs glazing vs oil painting, vs drybrushing. Its all a technique to be used. No one is better than the other.
You always say: you can do chop on chop on chop (x3). Would love to see it! Also, if insted drybrush you just carefully zenital with the airbrush, it would be a bit similar doesn't it? Maybe the edgest wont be as highlighted...🤔
Lol- you're obviously growing in popularity to be attracting all of this negativity. Keep rockin on with the great videos Don, and don't listen to those with closed minds! Your tutorials are excellent!
wouldnt it be an even better step to not use white for the second drybrush but a light color (e.g. ice yellow or sunny skin tone). That way you have unique shadow tones (brownish tone) and you have more realistic environmental light tones than pure white
I can understand why people would think slapchop is bad. If you only leave it at the slapchop step it looks unfinished. You gotta do some cleanup/ finishing steps
@Averagejoepainting in a Sense I can concurr with you too. Simple slapchop or even chop on chop May leave something to be desired but in the end Is all a matter of how much time you whant to spend in a piece. Even with acrylics you Will get the same Sense of "incomplete" if you give yourself Just and hour to Paint . Speedpaints are not to blame for the simplicity of the piece. Time Is. And I rechon that Just with a bit more highlight on the face and shoulders the piece whould have looked 3 times Better than before with less time investiment. As Always. More time = Better (I'm not saying you suggested that the slapchop Is bad. I'm Just giving my two cents about the topic ;p )
@@MakiClonts Awesome thanks! The handle is from FoxbiteHobbies. I have a 10% discount code man. They are the best handles I have ever used ( so far )! 😊
Great discovering the Chop on Chop. Do you thing the first paint cover with sepia color or dark brown would work for something "more difficult" like black armor from Black Templar space marines?
@DonSuratos Thanks for answering me Don! I would love it for sure!!! Kind of grimdark black templars damaged by battle as you did in this Ultramarine would be something I would love being painted by you. In any case, thanks a lot for sharing this double chop method!
@DonSuratos An Orc skin painted with this method could be useful for fantasy and sci-fi minis/people (from WH or not). But death guard minis are also awesome. I would be patient to your next video, activating notification =)
@DonSuratos How will you know what first chop you can put underneat? I mean not every color works with the main color you want. Is there some list or metid or else to onow ehat will eork and how it eill sort of look at the end?
Quick question Don : what do you think of using zenithal White in the airbrush instead of a drybrush for the second step of chop on chop? Whould it still work as fine or not on your opinion 🤔. Shurely the airbrush may spare you even more time in the painting process and give smoother blends but maybe I'm missing something
Full zenithal with an airbrush ( or spraycan ) is fine. I am just enjoying my Foxbite drybrush so much. If you watch my older videos, I prefer zenithal most of the time ( but with spraycans ). 😊
Bruh that argument is dumb depending on how you look at it. If your a painter and PAINTING is your hobby than sure I can see that argument to an extent. But if you don’t really care about the painting part of it and just painting cuz a Tournament requires painting minis than why say it’s Dumb. At that point painting is just a huge waste of time as all that person wants to do is play and not spend weeks painting an army. Don ignore the negatives, you just keep up that great work and keep those videos coming.
I have zero issues with the technique. Whatever it takes to get attractive minis on the table. However, you know there are some words or phrases that immediately irritate you? As if they're making your brain itch? Things like "can I axe you a question" or "irregardless" or "expresso"... Slapchop is such an abominable term. When preshading and tinting is an ancient technique, why the need to give it a stupid name as if it has just been created? Okay, rant over, I'll go back to the old people's home now. @DonSuratos, nice tutorial as always.
Actually man! You might find my old videos, wherein I am refusing to use the “slapchop” name when it became popular. I cannot remember which video, but I also did not like the name. But big channels made it famous, so what can we do bro. 😅
Being rude to somebody because you disagree with their take is the dumbest thing of all. I really don't know how people forgot to disagree without being disrespectful.
You're a great painter, but I don't think you're right to say it's a dumb argument only because you don't agree with it. You're forgetting you were a beginner once, and slapchop, in my opinion, prevents new painters from learning key concepts that a top painter already has. You can integrate slapchop no problem, but you already have the key concepts for painting well learnt and solid. I am not saying slapchop is good or bad per se. Not everyone has to aim to be a contest winning painter, and that has nothing to do with what the person you're replying to means.
"Don't use this method because you will not reach your full potential." That's such an out-dated way of thinking. It's like saying you shouldnt play a videogame on anything but extreme difficulty bacause you will learn better. Sure, but you also have to commit more resources like time and effort - both a luxury in short supply thesedays; all so you can do it to the absolute maximum potential? nah fam play how you wanna play and Paint how you wanna paint. smh people gatekeep the weirdest stuff thesedays.

wouldnt it be an even better step to not use white for the second drybrush but a light color (e.g. ice yellow or sunny skin tone). That way you have unique shadow tones (brownish tone) and you have more realistic environmental light tones than pure white
That will work, specially if you plan not to paint highlights. But the apeedpaint on top, won’t be as vibrant. 😊
