gotta be honest, these specific paints are pretty hard to find where I'm at. for the red that's pretty simple, as you said, any red or purple that's dark and you can airbrush works light flesh should be easy, just grab any equivalent flesh, Reikland flesh should work varnish is varnish white glaze is white glaze but for the pink that's where I'm pretty much having issues. are there any citadel or AK equivalents? that's what I've got where I live
Awesome video! Can't wait for the brush tutorial, because I still feel insecure with my airbrush when it comes to painting anything outside of basecoat and major highlights. Your tips on thinner and using different psi I will definitely try out!
Its kinda tricky to get used to your airbrush, since the paint thinning or not thinning plays a big role in the process. But honestly, once you get the hangof it, it will be boring. 😅 I personally find it more fulfilling to brush paint minis. ☺️🎨🎨🎨
Try priming a huge sheet of plastic from a container of some sort and practicing on it. Or even a sheet of paper to work on your lines & values (small dots to bigger dots). Also look into airbrush tutorials & exercises to get you use to the airbrush. It's helped me so much!
You are most welcome Christopher. I find female skin easier or at least faster though. Male muscular models have so many contours to highlight and shade. 😅🎨🎨🎨
Omg bro! 😱 Will you ever stop teaching me new things?! 😱 I hope not 😅 This video is also very useful for someone like me who has been using the airbrush to paint miniatures for a long time, thanks! 🙇🏻♂️ Maybe sometime you give me the recipe for the thinning of the model colors that I use 🤣 Oh well, that changes depending on the color, but looking at the dilution ratios you use with the mecha, I would spend time with the models with the clogged duse 🤣 Models are like ... toothpaste compared to mechas 😅 Great video and lovely miniature... From Italy 😎🤣
Yes, I rarely airbrush with Model Colors and Game, but will do so in one of the bigger 3D printed models. I am just waiting for a silicone mould for the resin work on the base though. ☺️
quit lifting your finger off the trigger you need airflow always or you get splatter, just go forward while still holding down and go back for paint, it's not an aerosol can...
Thanks Don I often struggle with female skin .. the always look like vampires and not warm enough. At some point a video on how to paint dark skin would be awesome too
looking forward for the brush tutorial, since I don't have access to an airbrush. I used one in the past, but none of the hobby compressors that I used worked, always overheating/blowing up, so I always like it when people use the old fashion bristle brush. Also what's your opinion on Mecha colors with bristle brush? I'm currently having trouble getting Vallejo paints here in MN, USA
Mecha for brush painting feels different than Model Colors. It can be done, but I do not recommend it sir. More brush painting videos soon. Cheers! ☺️🎨🎨🎨
@@DonSuratos Looking forward to it. Personally I really enjoy Model/Game Air myself, haven't really used the Model colors, was looking to try them out. 😁
Skin Tones always seem like a struggle for me, using the base reds and talking about warm colors was a " light bulb" moment. Of course the under coat makes the big difference, don't know why I missed it. Nailed what I was missing.
Love the channel! Are you from the philippines by chance?
Thank you! Yes! Pinoy here. ☺️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
gotta be honest, these specific paints are pretty hard to find where I'm at.
for the red that's pretty simple, as you said, any red or purple that's dark and you can airbrush works
light flesh should be easy, just grab any equivalent
flesh, Reikland flesh should work
varnish is varnish
white glaze is white glaze
but for the pink that's where I'm pretty much having issues.
are there any citadel or AK equivalents? that's what I've got where I live
Ruby for AK and Screamer Pink? Of Citadel should work fine. 😊🎨🎨🎨

I have a terrible time with painting skin in general, male or female, so this video was a blessing for me. Thank you, Don!

@@DonSuratos Thank you for the tip on "always wet" helped a lot!
Thanks Don I often struggle with female skin .. the always look like vampires and not warm enough. At some point a video on how to paint dark skin would be awesome too
I only painted 1 dark skin so far and it is just the head. But I have a female model perfect for dark skin. Will paint that soon. ☺️🎨🎨🎨
i've got 20 repentia to paint soon and i have been dreading painting all that skin! This video may well have just saved my sanity, thank you!
Haha! Glad you found the video useful. Goodluck with your skin painting! ☺️🎨🎨🎨
Very detailed and comprehensive tutorial, bro! I liked the fact you show the psi and needle sizes, very helpful!
Yeah, I figured I'll share more details via subtitles with this one. Hope people find them useful. Cheers! ☺️🎨🎨🎨
Do you have a tutorial for the grassy base? I love the color and mix of short flock and long tufts
Thanks Sven. It is just Scurvy Green ( Game Color ) base color, then drybrushed some Park Green ( Model Color ). Then some Vallejo tufts. ☺️
Woohoo painting human skin. i haven't done that yet... now i will have to. Excellent video Don :)
Thanks! Paint some human skin now! 😅🎨🎨🎨
@@DonSuratos yes that is what i will do :)

skin is tricky to paint and looks very fast unnatural

Agree... Specially for minis. ☺️
