"If you see me saving that just means that uh...I've been hurt before" If that isn't the most relatable sentence lmao thank you for this extremely helpful tutorial!
Yes, it's stylized, BUT, the rules are REALISTIC and that's why this piece of metal looks believable. And I just love the method of "sculpting and carving" the shapes, so satisfying.
@@Gammatrap Yes, of course, although maybe I'm going to put some reflections of the metal itself, just to add a touch of realism. But the process will be the same as described in this tutorial.
The eye-opening moment for me was when you started adding in highlights on the edges - immediately my brain went “that’s metal”! Super helpful, thank you! These are the things I want to know, the key features.
I know this video is long, but I wanted to make the most comprehensive, free tutorial possible for painting stylized metal. In fact, I've recently made an entire playlist of metal tutorials to help! ua-cam.com/play/PLySu6Z_hYsvwtISri2gRRT_I-kNGtmV9Y.html
TheWatchingEye This drawing is focused only on that piece of armour, if you’re doing a full character with a full set of armour you can simplify it a little bit and work pretty much the same amount, unless you really want it to be super high res and then yeah you have to stick to that.
The whole time I was watching the video, I thought - damn, this guy makes it quite detailed, Blizzard artists (who draw big metal armor all the time) don't make it nearly as intricately detailed. What you really need to sell metal is that shiny reflection line of the main light source, some little nooks and crannies, and correct shadow areas. If there's a light source like fire you ofc will have to render it too, maybe a rim lighting line, but that it. Everything else - mirrored reflections of nearby objects, ambient light reflections etc - is just way too detailed for a non-main poster kind of image.
It's almost impossible to avoid painting metal in sci-fi and fantasy painting. This video provides tremendous value for anyone who, like myself, has struggled to get good metal material renders. Thank you!
I have been referencing this video for YEARS. as a predominantly fantasy / historical painter, I have always tried to avoid painting metal if possible. But that’s, like, not possible. So whenever I’m having a block I watch this video and I feel like a sword painting god. I am so grateful for this video bc it’s so detailed and in depth and it’s FREE. you are a saint for this.
hot damn, just discovered you after I was looking up how to paint metal. It was a great video! I love that you explain the thought process and theory so we don't just make 1 to 1 replicas! Thank you again!
@@Gammatrap also, I would like to ask about the difference in gold and metal like this one, is it just the colors or do i need to pay attention to something more?
I found this VERY VERY helpful !!! I loved the fact that there wasn't distracting music. You just TALKED and truly EDUCATED us ! Many many thanks. As well, you're cute ! lol
Sometimes I argue with friends and colleagues because they insist I should call myself a "professional illustrator" since I do it for a living. And I don't quite feel to be that, I constantly feel like there is more i need to learn before even trying. AND, when i see videos like yours, with your expertise, I understand what I recall as professionist. Amazing skills!
You are very quickly becoming my favourite art channel. I often find people with your skill level don't fully explain their thought process behind their strokes. And as someone who considers herself a mid tier artist, this is sooooo helpful.
I have never seen someone who can create an art tutorial that is 50 minutes long but has just the right amount information needed to create such a great effect! Also it's in real time and not just a timelapse ❣
Thank you so much for my intro in metal work!!! Haven't we all been hurt like that before? 🤣 You work for hours and then ERROR. Also, putting your speed to 1.25 is soooooo satisfying. Everyone's right about your asmr voice.
Oh god i swear I've been struggling to colour metal FOR LITERAL YEARS- and it's even worse when your oc has metal weapons/ armour so it's really frustrating HHH- Thank you so darn much you just earned yourself a sub dude!!! Also, that's some high level artwork right there matiiee!!
i mean this as a compliment but your voice is genuinely so relaxing i was finally able to fall asleep for the first time this week- and like a good restful sleep- i havent been able to sleep for the past few days, like i havent had such trouble sleeping since this summer but when i out this on like around 20 minutes in i just,, knocked out for a good hour or so and god i feel so refreshed now- obviously im going to go back to actually study from this video now but thank you so much :") you dont talk super fast, the environment is nice and quiet with the little asmr-y drawing noises in the back, it's such a relaxing video i love it so much- i know it wasnt intended as a sleep aid but god does it work well as one
Glad I found your TikTok, you're an immaculate artist ☺️ wish ya nothing but success and a very huge thanks for doing tutorials like this especially coming from someone new getting into drawing
You talk so confident. That even if it would not be a clear explanation i would believe you. Thanks for this really worth video, teaching and explanation you are a beast and im grateful !! Keep it up !!
Your algorithm boost, my liege I had no idea how to approach metal, and barely 1/5 into the video and it already makes it seem a lot more approachable, thanks.
Yes this is a long video but you legit have the best teaching style I've ever seen for painting. I've always had a good grasp of art but not with painting which has always been nothing but sorcery to me. I thank you for your tutorials. I finally have an understanding of how to actually build shapes with paint and bring them to life. Not to mention I learned much more about metals. Seriously thank you for your work.
Awesome video for teach us. Thank you so much. I watch this video again and again because more learning point is here. Mainly like brush setting. So, I watch this video again and again.
Thank you so much! I did a quick screenshot of the base drawing and followed along with you side by side, and although it turned out a bit different (as expected), the result was quite satisfactory! I almost didn't believe how good it turned out! ☺
Thank you for posting this video! It was very helpful and I learned a lot. Also I want to say that you explained in a very clear way that makes it easy to understand, which is good. Have an awesome day!
I absolutely love your videos because, I can't explain why, but somehow every time you explain something or I see your process of work, something just clicks and I understand it. I usually struggle with any kind of "tutorial-like" content, so I have to figure things out myself often, but your videos just explain it all in such a way that i completely understand it to the point I can actually use the methods you explain in my own kind of "style". Just wanted to show some appreciation :)
Probably doesn't help a year and a half later but "blent" is still a valid word in scrabble, archaic past participle of blend. Tutorial is great and the result is glorious, perfect satin sheen like a stainless countertop.
UA-cam recommended me this video, this is an amazing channel. Thank you algorithm, and thank you Sir Brandon for this immeasurable treasure. (also.... those eyes are strikingly beautiful, geez... XD)
I was painting an armour piece and about to give up vut damn this video is so fucking cool. watch the whole thing off didnt get bored for a second. You deserve much more subscribers cause this is the coolest tutorial video.
thank you for this. ugh i made a persona recently and they wear heavy-ish armor. but i have never drawn armour before. and i used a lot of different references to make something decent. and now i have come to the color and had no idea how to color something shiney. your style has no harsh lines, but i have a bit of cartoony comic book style. so i hope to adapt these tips in a way that is easy for me. you are a life savor!
I've never seen anyone's art process before aside from people's speed paint which doesn't explain alot, but this is relatable whenever I'm doing art drawing/painting it's not really like how professionals do it or show it like everything's already figured out with pin point accuracy I always had to re adjust to find which is better to look at and because professionals call that process "destructive process" (because you have to erase and redo multiple times) I developed an impostor syndrome
As a newbie to digital art, I really appreciated this tutorial. Took me a while to figure out how to implement what you were doing (only cause I'm new) but once I got the hang of it I was pretty pleased with my results! Thanks!
I don't have photoshop, tried to do the same with similar brushes on procreate and the result was amazing, thanks. I was looking for a study to help me paint Mandalorian's armor and your session really helped a lot ^^
Found you from tiktok and happy to be following you and subscribed. I am an author and I want to be a full time artist and author. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Gamma I am not exaggerating when I say this tutorial literally saved me on a project that I'm currently doing for University where I need to paint metals. Many thanks!
Brilliant tutorial. I intially had no idea where to even begin when it came to painting metal, but your really helpful (and humorous) instructions and recommendations just clicked! Looking forward to more videos from you.
As a new digital artist this honestly is one of the best guides I've ever had the pleasure of being taught by, I usually paint a lot of characters in armour and this has helped me so much, earned a like and sub my dude :D
This is PHENOMENAL. How am I only just discovering this!? Gorgeous metalwork!
i?
"If you see me saving that just means that uh...I've been hurt before"
If that isn't the most relatable sentence lmao thank you for this extremely helpful tutorial!
My pleasure! And yeah lmao haven't we all. I'm really happy to see it being so well received. Guess I should make more
I save every 2-3 changes.
The mandalorians are looking for your leadership Shae
This guy’s voice is lowkey therapeutic ngl
Thank you, that's very kind :)
Matt Damon silky voice
Yeahhh
His voice almost made me gay ngl
Thought I was the only one thinking it
Yes, it's stylized, BUT, the rules are REALISTIC and that's why this piece of metal looks believable. And I just love the method of "sculpting and carving" the shapes, so satisfying.
It's absolutely my favorite way to paint metal! Think you'll use this style when doing your metal?
@@Gammatrap Yes, of course, although maybe I'm going to put some reflections of the metal itself, just to add a touch of realism. But the process will be the same as described in this tutorial.

That's very kind :) maybe one day
I just suscriben and I’ll be checking more tutorials to improve my skills. I’m no art pro or anything but I like to do it.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and making it accessible. Was extremely helpful for my artwork!
I havent finish the video but i did like to thank you and ask you something, would make an 1 Hour video about painting blades?
This tutorial is so good that its the first video with 0 dislikes I've ever seen.
Sshhhh!! You'll jinx it!
28 now!
Sadly now there are 31
It's an older tutorial :) it's bound to pick up a few along the way

-"Haha Squiggly bits go Woosh"
In all seriousness, what a great guide, thanks.
This tutorial slapped. Your metal slaps. Absolutely timeless. Thank you for coming in my hour of need.
Happy to help!
Why is his voice so mesmerizing, subscribed. 😩👏⭐
And now just repeat all that for a full set of plate armor.

I'm very glad you like it! Thank you 😊
Awesome - talented gentleman.
dude you're so chill I love your tutorial
You helped me last time I was working on a big piece. But here I am again to refresh my memory.
It took me one video to understand how to paint metal properly. You are amazing
I'm so glad to hear that! Thank you!
@@Gammatrap also, I would like to ask about the difference in gold and metal like this one, is it just the colors or do i need to pay attention to something more?
Your voice and delivery are perfect for this type of thing. Great tutorial!
Thank youuuu I’m painting the Mandalorian as a Christmas gift for my dad and this was super helpful as I don’t know the first thing about metal.
I found this VERY VERY helpful !!! I loved the fact that there wasn't distracting music. You just TALKED and truly EDUCATED us !
