"I don't normally walk you through setting up my pallet because who cares?" As a new painter me, but I also get that every video doesn't need this step. Thanks for all the amazing content. Stay AWESOME!
My two favorite moments in this video are when Vince flames my Witch's fashion choices (aka my fashion choices) and when he uses the phrase "that ol' chesnut" As if painting skin wasn't hard enough, Vince here decides to do it with a singular hue. Crazy challenging paint job, you nailed it!! Also the title says "monochromatic" but you use two hues????????????? what gives???????????? jk ilu
Vince, I just can't believe your content is real sometimes. I'll be watching a couple a day, learning all these great techniques, and then randomly I here a 'B-aggressive, B-B-aggressive' and I'm having to pause the video because I'm laughing too hard and I don't want to miss what you're saying. Thank you so much for being the best.
WOW the final effect of that glow effect especially on the palm was so much more impressive even than I thought it was going to be watching it built up!
Showing and explaining how you load your palette is very helpful. Finding the correct paints to pre-load on the palette is a difficult step so this insight was great. The final product is amazing, as always. Thanks!
Thank you for making these videos, it's impossible for me to quantify just how valuable your continued efforts to share your passion for color and light have been to my growth both as an artist and a person.
A ton of thanks for letting us see the way you arrange the pallet and mix you paints! Excellent exercise using only a single color. Really helps us beginners understand what "shading" and "build up color" and "blending" really mean.
I like the way you approached the hair. Having the mid tone as the highlight to the shadow and the shadow in the highlight area will be useful in many situations.
Your newest videos have critical concepts clicking with me in a way they never did before, Vince. Thank you! This one is was incredibly helpful. Really, really appreciative of the new(ish!) approach.
She's so green, for a second there, I thought she was suffering from verdigris burns. Thanks for giving us a masterclass on my favorite color- and here's hoping that kickstarter goes well- that's a damn fine looking sculpt. Take care, and have a great week.
Love green and magenta, one of my favorite color combos. And wood elves make their glorious debut to Hobby Cheating! We came close with the rando forest dragon in Hobby Cheating 110, but no elf. Cool to see you paint one!
Ooh I've done this idea. I've dubbed it "mostly monochrome" because it isn't really monochrome - there is more than one type of green. But super fun to explore! Great challenge. And green is WEIRD.
Your HC videos are always great, but this one in particular was spectacular. I enjoyed the multiple layers to it, showing a variety of tricks and techniques for all sorts of different occasions, and how to tie all of them back into a monochromatic scheme. Well done!
a near black colour made with complementary colours (orange and blue, or the one you just made, is called a chromatic black, if you ever want to give it a pedantic name. What an amazing tutorial! Really inspiring
Love this mysterious wedge of the wheel and a perfect model for a monochrome style! I have two disgusting Lord of Afflictions on my work desk...pondering how to give them "a better hand" but also aesthetic and you filled that void magically. Thank you, Vince, and Miniac!
Wow she looks amazing! You really tempt me to try doing a monochromatic scheme on a miniature. I especially appreciate how smooth that skin turned out, it looks so real even though it's, well you know, green. Thank you Vince!
Vince mate, you're too bloody good. Great video as always. If I can get to the skin level you have in your little finger I'd have lived a joyful life. Would you consider doing an aos army painting ease guide, so ranking the difficulty of each army to paint. I've painted ironjawz and they were fine, slaanesh has been tricky and I'd like something in between. Cheers
Another great video and paint job Vince. Also kuddos for the audio quality, you seem to be improving massively in this area of your recording & editing.
10/10 video, sir! Can't fault you for the beginner vids, but I LOVE when you do more advanced/intermediate stuff. "Sapping" out of his heart? Wood puns, Vince?
Brilliant! Will check it out later on my lunch break! For several months now I have being doing this more and more especially when I use oil paints (find it easier to do with mixing since they often have only one or two pigments in the paints)
Every Hobby Cheating video you produce is a master class, thank you for so much great content! I do hope you'll consider opening a Patreon, I would really like to give back for all you've taught me.
I desperately need a video like this but with brown. All too often I have great difficult distinguishing between browns. Examples: logs and twigs on dirt Wood next to leather like leather straps on a wooden staff Stuff like that it just blend together from a distance
Well, this one will help - ua-cam.com/video/d0wWzjluaxM/v-deo.html or this one - ua-cam.com/video/2-3Fnfs9AUo/v-deo.html This is old but might also help - ua-cam.com/video/prs76dW38Uc/v-deo.html There are a few more on things like white through airbrush and vehicles.
Brilliant work. Do you have any advice for making the skin tone feel a bit more "standard" while still keeping that green tint, especially for faster batch painting? I've been thinking of painting up some wood elves with that sort of skin tone.
Hi Vince. The figure looks absolutely amazing. I love it despite the fact that it has quite a disturbing theme! I found it really interesting the way you blocked in the colours an quite a rough way but they ended up super smooth through the use of multiple glazes. Can I ask you how long in total it took to paint this piece?
Triangle for the shock colors…Vince I love the result but would like to understand this concept alittle more. Providing balance to the model wouldn’t have been in my wheelhouse. I guess that an area that separates someone that is intermediate in the painting journey from an expert
AWSOME! and entertaining as usual!! I am trying to understand a concept here. Is mono chromatic and extreme example of using a “mother color”? Would I learn how to use the mother color in paint schemes better by practicing mono chromatic schemes? Thx!!
this was a fun video to watch, but also hard. I'm not sure if you changed cameras or if it was the lighting, but when you were working on the skin it hurt my eyes.
Thanks Vince! I’m prepping some Dark Imperium figs for a small skirmish match and this helps quite a bit with my Death Guard guys. I was planning to introduce a friend to wargaming using Song of Blades, but I just heard about Reign in Hell. I know Adam is a big fan of Blades, and that Reign involves an activation mechanic; if you have a sec, could you provide an elevator pitch re: what sets Reign apart from Blades (mechanically)? I am inclined to use Reign if it’s as approachable as Blades. Thank you for all that you do!
Sure, my elevator pitch is it's a fast, dynamic game of brutal melee combat in hell. You design your own cabal of demons around a philosophy of how your leader believes hell should be run (basically, the organizing principle of the society of hell) and you fight against other cabals to collect souls which both empower your demons and act as currency. Mechanically, I think it's actally quite simply to pick up, that was a goal, it uses only 3 core stats, move, life and combat. The activation system is fun, a short version is this - you roll a number of d12s for each active demon you have in your cabal each turn and then arrange them from high to low. This is public information, so both players can see the order of the other player. Then starting from the highest to lowest (12 to 1) each player may spend one of these dice to activate a demon. If there is a tie, it passes to alternating activations (i.e. if I just went on 9 and we both have an '8' it's now your turn). Makes for a very challenging and tactical set of choices each round as players get runs in certain "pocket" of the spread where they have more activations than their opponent (but their opponent has more later) and so on.
@@VinceVenturella Sounds tense! Thanks Vince. Now to paint up these Dark Imperium Primaris as pro-Invasion, Gozer-esque “mimic the human form” fallen-angel types…
Sure, so zenithal isn't a blank canvas, it's a specific lighting scheme. It's a diffuse overall light. When you want something more controlled, when you want to put lighting into a different angle, a different lighting situation and so on. I have a whole video on it here - ua-cam.com/video/eCh5bJa6vC8/v-deo.html
Awesome! Absolutely AWESOME!
Thank you Marco! Glad you enjoyed this one and hope you are doing well. :)
I need a video with Vince and Marco doing a challenge!
Camera work getting better and better - masterclass level video!
Thank you sir, I've really been trying to up the quality, still very much a learning process, but the journey continues. :)

It's a really fun color combo for sure - it's funny that Ben did his masterclass in the same palette, I hadn't seen his when I did mine. :)

Much appreciated!
Im working on Green skin rt now. they say when the student is ready, the master appears. Thank You Vince!
Happy to help. :)
Thanks for the video Vince, I was is a bad place tonight and your video helped me take my mind off bad things. Very nice looking evil elf lady !
That's wonderful to hear, the world of miniature painting is always happy and a palce where we can find some solace. :)
If that was a Faith No More reference then I'm in love with it!
It was indeed. :)
Excellent tutorial. This also seems like a fun exercise, for mastering contrast and color manipulation.... Thanks Vince!!!
It really is fun. :)
That is Absolutely amazing I wish I had even half on the talent that your little pinky finger does. That is beautiful 😻
Thank you!
You inspired me to try a monochromatic scheme myself. Thank you, amazing video, as always!
Awesome!
One of my most favorite pieces you have made. Great video explaining everything.
Thanks again!
Looks really neat, thanks for the video. And for getting Faith No More stuck in my head.
Always happy to help. :)
What sort of wizardry is this lol, taking 1 color theme and making it pop like that, so dope brother.. thanks for sharing you knowledge!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Looks fantastic !
And that magenta really pops.
Thank you! Cheers!
Love monochromatic schemes and love you too, Vince! 😛😉

Looking forward to using this model in my Sylvaneth army. Perfect for a branch witch.
Totally agreed.
Love the background music on this one.
I've been experimenting with different music, glad you enjoyed this one.
Beautiful paint job. Love the pop color effect
Thanks so much 😊
This is how I wanna do my fulgrim. It can be in any color you want, so long as it’s purple.

Love it! Thanks again Vince - big time learning.
Fantastic!
Completely amazing. Great job!
Thanks!
Can't wait for my model to arive and to replicate this =D
Go for it!
This is the first time I have seen you use so flat paints. Would love to watch a review after you feel you have tested them enough.
Yep, full review will be incoming!
Hey I got this "be be aggressive" reference!
Awesome!
Fantastic!
Glad you like it!

Brilliant work. Do you have any advice for making the skin tone feel a bit more "standard" while still keeping that green tint, especially for faster batch painting? I've been thinking of painting up some wood elves with that sort of skin tone.
Sure, you can always just integrate a little bit of caucasian flesh tone or something similar. tint it more that direction.
Hi Vince. The figure looks absolutely amazing. I love it despite the fact that it has quite a disturbing theme! I found it really interesting the way you blocked in the colours an quite a rough way but they ended up super smooth through the use of multiple glazes. Can I ask you how long in total it took to paint this piece?
It wasn't too bad, this was maybe like 30 hours, not to offensive for a piece of this size.
Monochromatic green?! I feel seen.
Glad to help buddy. :)
Triangle for the shock colors…Vince I love the result but would like to understand this concept alittle more.
Providing balance to the model wouldn’t have been in my wheelhouse. I guess that an area that separates someone that is intermediate in the painting journey from an expert
I will be talking about color balance more in some videos in coming weeks, so you won't have to wait long. :)
Thanks, I love green.
Can I just ask that you put the volume up more, I have my phone volume at max and it's still not loud enough. Please
I'll see what I cna do. :)
I hear FnM reference, I upvote
and I apprecaite that. :)
AWSOME! and entertaining as usual!! I am trying to understand a concept here. Is mono chromatic and extreme example of using a “mother color”? Would I learn how to use the mother color in paint schemes better by practicing mono chromatic schemes? Thx!!
Yep, you have it, basically this is just really heavily integrating that color into eveyrthing so it's really a shade of that color.
there is nothing that compliments a miniac miniature more than hot pink.
Agreed!
It's never a bad time for Hot Pink. :)
unexpected Faith No More reference
Always a good time, my brain is just basically a big jumble of pop culture references.
Great video, any thoughts on replicating sepia photography on miniatures-a lot does transfer but some bit particularly the dark I am not sure on
I think the same lessons here would apply, just manipulate in the sepia and off-brown green tones.
this was a fun video to watch, but also hard. I'm not sure if you changed cameras or if it was the lighting, but when you were working on the skin it hurt my eyes.
I'll watch that and make sure things aren't too bright going forward. :)

Will you be doing a product review
of the so flat?
Great video btw
Eventually I will be. :)
Can you please explain why the zenithal isn't precise enough?
Sure, so zenithal isn't a blank canvas, it's a specific lighting scheme. It's a diffuse overall light.
