Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 сер 2024
- Underpainting Miniatures is the first step of the method known nowadays as Slapchop. Delivered mostly by drybrushing a miniature, underpainting sets the tones of light that shine through when transparent paint is applied. In this how to paint miniatures video I focus on showing you the basics of drybrushing, the difference between drybrushing and overbrushing, and how to build volumes of light using different colours. Mastering these painting basics will help you on your journey of painting awesome looking Warhammer miniatures. These techniques, developed by the miniature painting community as a whole, really make painting efficient and enjoyable. And that is the whole point is it not, to have fun!

Drops brush into paint.
Breaks model off base.
Knocks model over.
Goes off on tangents.
Keeps lifting model out of frame.
Still makes one of the best painting tutorial videos out there and teaches me more in half hour than I've learnt in years and it's your first video? My man this is ace, well done.
So true, never edit these things out! It's really nice to view a more authentic session.
All these years and I finally have an answer for why my drybrushing is chalky! Awesome video!
Yes bah! You can now paint all your Brown Skids space marines!!!
Why? ;)
@@jaroslawchmiel7193 watch the video and find out!
The little dab of water on the wood to get that moisture in the brush is a great tip, thank you for that!
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching! :)
Maybe the best instructional video on over/drybrushing I've seen. Others talk about adding moisture to the brush, but never about how much moisture to use. This makes so much sense to me.
Thank you! Happy that it comes across in the video! :)
Completely agree, so helpful on how much moisture is adequate. Thank you! Subbed and looking forwards to more insightful content.
As a new painter, I really appreciate this style of unedited video as it actually helps me understand the full process. It makes it truly for beginners and doesn’t assume knowledge that other videos do.
Please keep it up!
You're very welcome! I'm glad it helped you. This is the style I plan to carry on with so hopefully I can help more in future :)
You said that you were kinda clumsy during the video. I found that to be super reassuring. Everybody knows that this stuff happens but seeing someone with more experience making the same mistakes and shrugging it off helps me immensly to focus when trying your technique myself
Thanks for watching and the feedback. I feel the same when I watch videos - where are all the slips and mistakes??? - It's totally normal to do that sort of thing and I'm happy to share that. :)
It’s quite good to see a full unedited video of the painting process including all the drops and slips. Happens to us all.
I think it's good to show. Hopefully, newcomers to the hobby will see the slips and mistakes and realise it's a natural part of painting.
Brilliant video mate, the longer format works really well. Plenty of videos that tell you how to paint, but it’s nice to actually see the full process. Keep it up
Thank you! Really stoked that the message is coming across. More videos to come :)
Looking forward for the painting video next!
Thanks! Not too long now!
Getting back into the hobby. I am painting my minis using your guides and they look great so far. Thank you!
Glad you got recommend to me!
Thanks! Glad you like the video :)
Awesome drybrush tutorial thank you so much ! I’m looking forward to your next video ! 🎉
Thanks so much 😊
Okay, as a slapchop fan, this is now my favourite video!
Thanks a lot for this. That was really helpful and i immediately recognized some mistakes i did in the past. I only used paper towels and didn't really moisture up my brush. 🤔
Greetings from Germany ✌🏼
Thank you! G;ad you found it helpful. Happy painting!
Fantastic video man! I still struggle with underpainting and this tutorial really helped me out
Awesome, thank you! I'm glad it has helped :)
Great work on this! You should do more tutorials, it was very well done.
Thank you! Very happy to read your comment. I have lots more planned. The next part of this series will be on UA-cam this weekend. I'd be very grateful if you checked that out too :)
One of the most detailed videos on this technique. Thanks 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Can't wait for the next part! :D
Thanks mate! Really appreciate it. :)
Great first long form video! Off to a fantastic start. Love the wood pallete. Love your delivery, informative, susinct and well executed. Looking forward to witness your journey!
Thank you! Really appreciate the feedback. Can't wait to create more :)
Great stuff! I also like to take a couple pictures of the model at this point to serve as reference points for highlighting and detailing. Everything is picked out now and the directional source of the light has been established. Sometimes I’ll take a lot of time between the battle ready level and the parade ready level so having those fully highlighted versions to reference helps a lot.
Thanks!
Yes! That is a great tactic. I must start doing this too. ❤️
@@thepaintbeast our powers combined!!
Great job there. Looks great
Thank you! Cheers! Part 2 now out! :)
Great work mate, love your style of explaining things.
Thank you mate! I appreciate the kind words. :)
Love it! More like this!
Thank you mate! X
Thanks for the video, i think its one of the bests... If not the best on the topic! I learned a lot from it and i think ill put most of it in practice with my next kill team
Thank you! Can't wait to hear how you get on with this, glad I could provide some insight into painting this way. :)
Nice work on the video- Looks fantastic!
Thanks! Glad you like it! :)
Thank you! I’m a huge fan of Byron from Artis Opus, but he’s such an expert that I’m left with as many questions as he answers. I love the progression of grays with the decrease in brush sizes. I love how you explained wetting the brush with a finger in the pot and the board, and not some fancy dampening pad. I love the explanation of OSB vs tissue of not wicking away so much water.
I’m going to practice all of these techniques. Thanks again for sharing so much clarity in how to do this.
Thanks! Very much appreciate your comment! I'm also a fan of Artis Opus and have just got some of the brushes for myself. You are right, there is a learning curve and because I'm not practiced with them i'm finding it difficult to use them. So, i'm sticking to the makeup brushes until I learn how.
It's all about the practice and if we keep marching on we'll get the technique down!!!
Brilliant tutorial!
Thank you! can't wait to show the other parts. Not long to wait!
Looks sick! I'd love to see how you finish this one off.
Also, I liked your water pot with the old school ork.
That's the plan! My next video shows how to add the colour :)
Keep up the good work! Cheers mate
Thank you !!!!!!!
great quality considering is your first video! keep it up
Thank you so much! Really appreciate that :)
This was great! I've been watching your reels and posts on Instagram. I am so happy you are making tutorials on UA-cam. Cannot wait to see the next one. I just got back into the hobby and am having so much fun painting my Ork army. I hope I can reach your level one day.
Hey! Thanks for the feedback! Really happy you like this. You will totally get there. Just keep going 😊
Fascinating video 👍. Got recommended by Terrordome.
Thank you! Awesome! Good to know Jack likes my stuff :)
Thank you for a great tutorial. I hope you'll do the next step on this same model and add colors in another tutorial. I've been researching painting methods for about a year now. The wooden board and tiny bit of water are new to me, I haven't seen any other videos using these steps. I haven't bought any brushes or paints yet, but I've already got a backlog of miniatures that I want to tackle eventually.
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed it that that is will come in helpful. Yes, the second part will be using the same mini and I'll show how I go about adding the first colours to the mini. Can't wait to hear how you get on painting!
Great video.
Awesome stuff Will! Making me want to get back into painting minatures again 🤓
You should! I'll hold you to it!
Hello, Great lesson, can’t wait for the rest 😊
Thank you! 😃 Very much appreciated.
Great video! I'm looking forward to the next one. I'm struggling with how to paint my Drukhari
Thank you! Yes, I think this is a perfect way to paint drukhari!!!!
Чувак, у тебя хорошая подача материала. Отличный разбор овербраша, прямо видео-урок! Знаю, как тяжело снимать и монтировать ролики в таком качестве, поэтому подписался и пошел смотреть другие ролики) С уважением, из России
Thank you mate! I really appreciate the feedback and kind words! More videos to come in future :D
Love your paint jobs to death! Wish you the best!
Thank you! Very much appreciated!
Perfect Video Thank You !
Thanks! Glad it was a good watch!
Wooden board. So simple. So obvious - it's brilliant. And it has texture. I also like the 5 stages of highlights. Most vids have 2-3.
Thanks! Yeah, i've seen videos with a lot of effort or expensive product to make a texture pallet. This is just an off cut. Super simple and fits the needs. I love building the layers and think it makes a mini look great. :)
Lots of valuable information there cant wait to see more
Awesome, thank you for the feedback! Check out part 2 if you haven't already done so. :D
I really appreciate your efforts to explain this process in detail. I was searching for a video on how I could paint my Conquest Nord Trolls and Ugrs in blue, this video is very helpful! Thanks!
Excellent! Thanks for the feedback! Can't wait to hear how you get on with the Nord Trolls!!!
Great first video! Can’t wait to see more content
Thank you so much!! Part 2 is now out, would love to know what you think!
Ab-so-lutely great! Always thought a slightly damp brush was better than dry for drybrushing. Thanks for the great content. Subbed!
Thanks for the watch, comment and sub! It's greatly appreciated. Glad you like the video!!! :)
Great video and some really helpful tips. Im a beginner and had come across a few problems which i think your video has helped me solve. Look forward to the next one 👌🏻
Thank you! That's great, i'm glad this video helped you. :)
Absolutely enjoyed watching this. Can’t wait to check out the next videos. Great job and THANK YOU.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the support :)
Nice!
Thank you!
Looking forward to the next video about putting color on top, hope it’s coming soon!!
Thanks! It will be released at the end of this month :)
Wow! Absolutely love the under brushing. I've been doing Zenithal but I'm definitely going to be switching to this
Thank you! Let me know how you get on with this style!
This is an amazing video! I just recently started Slap Chopping…but my dry-brushing skills would always turn my greys and whites chalky and dusty. Needless to say, because of the chalky residue, it created a domino effect where my Slap Chop wouldn’t have a clean and smooth finish. This method and the way to keep your brush moist helped so much! Thank you for the great tutorial and inspirational video!
Thank you for the positive feedback! I'm glad the video helped! Can't wait to here how you use this style of painting in future :)
Will! In the video you talk about using different undertones for this process - purple to yellow to pink for example. What drives your decision as to what set of colours to use for each model?
I usually take a look at what others have done then think ho I could I make that work with my style of painting. For the ork i painted (primed in purple) I saw another painter use purple as a glaze to paint in the shadows. So I thought about how I could apply the purple shadows and yellow highlights quickly and what colour green would blend it all together. :)
Thank you for posting this video. I can't wait to try it on my Bretonnians!👍
Hope you enjoy it! Part 2 is now out. Would love to have your thoughts on that one too :)
This has helped so much! Far better then any other vids out there!! Please please do the vid on your orc kommandos!! As im starting my orc army! Looking forward to your next vid, praying it be for orcs
Thank you! That is great to hear. Part 2 is now out. Orks are on the list so keep an eye out in future :)
@@thepaintbeast yeh can't wait to see you paint orcs mate! As my army is orcs.
Brilliant! *twiddles moustache*
Thank you bro! Twiddles moustache back.
I would add small addition. If you gonna paint with contrasts/speedpaints, you can decrease black and greys in shadow areas (by increasing white drybrush amount). It will make more vibrant colors, since 1 coat of that type of paints will not be enough to cover black and will produce very dull result.
Absolutely! That's an awesome addition!!!
This was incredible to watch and really inspiring.
Thanks! Glad you found it inspiring! Let me know how you get on with the method of painting :)
As a makeup artist, I use all my old brushes for painting. My makeup brushes were pretty expensive, so I get double the use out of them...unless I'm doing a watercolor painting. I have special brushed for that purpose. Makeup brushes and paint brushes are basically the same. All made by the same companies, surprisingly.
That is awesome! Props for reusing your makeup brushes!!!
You became my favourite channel today. Thanks!
Excellent! Thank you, that is great to know and very much appreciated. :)
@@thepaintbeast Still my favorite channel (by far).
Keep uploading great dry brushing videos please! Or any other technique!
A really interesting & informative video 👍
I especially like that you left in the mistakes such as too much paint / water etc and how to correct them as in reality that is what happens with most of us 😁
Nice, and I look forward to the next video!
Thank you! Cheers! I think it's important to see the mistakes. Often they are left out which leads to unrealistic expectations. :)
Beautiful work mate and honestly, thanks for puttin this together. I'm still gettin my sea legs when it comes to mini painting and this really helped me figure out this method of painting. Well done!
Thank you! I'm glad my video helped you. Let me know how you get on in your painting journey!
@@thepaintbeast I will! Thank you!! ❤️ I finally decided to upload my first mini painting to my stories if you wanna see my starting place lol
Top notch! So informative and well explained. 🤟
Thank you! Glad you like it!
This is great. Would you add a speed paint to it next then? I saw your shorts vid where you added a colour to the process. Looks like a fun way to do it.
Thanks for tutorial 👍
My pleasure! Hope you enjoy the others too :)
I always used only chaos black primer and corax white drybrush (i invented it myself and then youtube showed me half of world doing the same!), then Citadel Contrast or doing few paints of same color for certain part (i e 4 blue paints for Kroxigor scales) but this looks very interesting, gonna give it a try tomorrow on my last Orruk Bolt-Skewer Boy!
That's awesome! It's great to know people were already using it as a method of painting! The second part of this video will show how i use transparent paint, just the way you describe. Can't wat to hear how you get on with the technique in this video :)
Okay, so I was recommended this video (I'm assuming) because I'm always on the hunt for different techniques for dry brushing or underpainting.. I have been dry brushing for decades.. I have tried a multitude of brushes for dry brushing..
And by far the best dry brush is that first make up brush you used, the shape of it and how compact the hairs are always results in a beautiful finish.
However, make up brushes have been designed to feather out a moist medium, like make up (foundation etc).. if you get a make up brush wet, or damp.. you smear the paint.
You need to keep make up brushes bone dry to get the best results.
Other dry brushes, such as artis opus, are goats hair, they are designed to be damp (often used for water colours).. that is why that style of dry brushing works for those brushes. Try keeping your make up brush dry, and focus gently dusting over the model.. then if you need a heavier dry brush, you can scrub.
You also don't need that many greys for your under painting, here's why, acrylic paint is transparent.. that is why it takes two thin coats 😅.. when you brush catches an edge multiple times it becomes opaque, but the surface areas around that edge get a lighter coat, resulting in the colour underneath to show through a little bit..
So if you go from a black to a mid grey, because of how dry brushing and acrylic paint works, you will automatically get a darker grey transitioning from black to mid grey..
The same applies to the white, even more so.
But as an added note, you described only being selective as you got progressively lighter, yet you ended up going over most of the same areas with 5 layers of paint.
I don't know, I just feel you could cut some corners and still get the same result.
I mean, you'll only going to put varying hues over that work anyway, and that always softens the transition shades.. so most of those greys don't even play a part at the end.
But hey, your hobby, your way. I just hope you can understand where I'm coming from.
Thanks! I totally get where you are coming from. :D
Also, I love comments like these as it helps us all grow and learn more about how others paint. I fully encourage others to read this comment all the way through.
I would be very happy with the same critique on my next video that will be going live today at 12:30GMT. I think it shows your point about the paint softening the blend of the drybrush colours. :D
Your video was a pleasant surprise, clear and useful, perfectly understandable even if you don't speak native English. the only problem I have with this technique is that I continue to see gray under light contrast colors (Caucasian skin, yellow, red...) I have to try with another color scale you suggested... maybe starting from purple or brown!? good luck with the channel, I'll follow it with interest!
Thank you! I'm glad you found this useful. I agree, there is a huge number of these vids that are greyscale etc. I aim to do more with other colours. Check out my UA-cam Shorts, you'll see one that uses a purple primer and then drybrush of yellow. When I have finished this 4 part series I'll be creating more long form content showing how to use different colours!! :)
Awesome bud! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you mate! Appreciate that! :)
Thank you for sharing. As an idea for the last layer of the brightest white, perhaps a Drybrush using OilPaint. Eliminates the "chalkiness".
Cool, that is a good shout. I'll try that :)
Please do a video on your metalic slapchop of the templar. Great video.
IT's on the list!
Oh when you said first video in that short you meant it meant it
Yeah! I've made a lot of short form content. Only just moved over to long form. Hope you liked it?! :)
Great vid man ! Few quick questions firstly will any kinda wood do ? Would you use more or fewer layers of greys/whites for characters Vs non-characters and lastly I don't really like the citadel pots so would you kindly give me some dropper bottle alternatives of the colours you used
I think this video was pretty helpful, but I think the most interesting thing you brought up was different kind of undershades. I appreciated a color swathe for a...cooler undershade? Black through grey through white. What would you do for a warmer undershade as a paint range? Dark brown to ivory to white maybe? And do you think you might do a video of dark purple through bright yellow? That's th bit you mentiond that I found fascinating!
Thank you! Glad it helped. I certainly will be doing exactly that! Not for a few months as yet but they are in the works :)
I could not believe those results were from dry brushing they look incredible! Do you have the link for the make up brushes I would love to try them - amazing video I’m subscribing!
Thanks mate! I really appreciated that. I am setting up some affiliate links to the products I use. Until that is ready you should be able to find them on amazon :)
This is great work truly I have a few questions
1. Will you make a video like this showing how to paint the Saurus like in your short?
2. Will you paint the Kroxigor?
Thank you!!!
1. I will but probably not soon as i'd just be repeating the steps as in this video.
2. Yes! I released the second part in the Kroxigor series today. Check it out :)
Ehi mate, amazing work! I really find this tutorial very useful for my next army! I just want ask: instead of wood pallet, it is fine too using texture palette? Or that don’t absorbs to much paint? Thank you for the answer
Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback!!! I think using a texture pallette is fine, the lesson here is not to use a paper towel really as it makes the paint too dry.
Can't wait to see how you get on with your next army!
Hi! really loving your work on these videos really helped me understand under painting. would this technique work on the smaller Saurus Warriors sorry if its a dumb question I'm still new at this.
Hello! Thank you!
Yes! This does work on the saurus and it's exactly how I paint mine :)
Are you going to make a video on applying contrast paint on this guy?
Yes! :) I have done just that. It is available to watch now, go check it out :)
Do you have a full video on this or if not a list of the paints used?
This is part one of 4. I released part 3 at the end of last month. I don't usually plug my Patreon directly to people, but I do have a full pdf guide, listing paints, for Seraphon painted in this style on my patreon. If that's your sort of thing, please consider checking it out. :)
How well does this work for truer 25mm minis? I see this technique demonstrated on UA-cam all the time, but the minis are often huge.
It does work for smaller minis. I'd recommend using smaller brushes :)
Is there a good equivalent to the wooden board as I am not liking using paper towels and if not is it just a chopping block or something similar?
As long as the wood has texture you can fell when you run your hand over it then it will be good for use as a texture palette. :)
Great video. Any chance we will see underpainting with other colors?
Oh yeah totally. I often use purple and drybrush with yellows, then use contrast paint over the top. It's just a case of experimenting with it and seeing what happens!
Great video, i'll try that as soon as possible. Just one question regarding the wooden board. Do you clean and dry it every few models, or do you get a new one?
Can you still use it when there's multiple layers of dried pain?
Thanks for youe help!
Thanks for watching! Let me know how you get on. I haven't cleaned it yet but will give it a scrub at some point. I have used both sides.
You can still use it with multiple layers :)
Thank u
Can you do a video on how you paint it after that? Im struggling. The process is hard because i dont know how to get my color in without losing the highlights or i cant paint it enough to see the colors. I see some artists just use contrast colors. Already watered down then just add layers. Can we see part 2 on your color choice
Absolutely! Part 2 is already filmed and ready to be uploaded. It will be released at the end of March!
Newbie here. Im curious, why would this approach not be used for space marines for example? This looks like a great and effective approach with great results but never seems to be used when painting space marines. Wondering if there is a reason for that?
It's because there are a lot of flay areas on space marines. Drybrushing doesn't like large flat areas, it like areas with lots of texture. So most people don;t paint space marines this way. Though i'm sure a lot of people still do.
@@thepaintbeast thank you, that makes sense. I think I'm going to give it a go this way! I've seen another clip of yours where you did use this technique and I think it worked very well. Thanks again. Subbed and very much looking forward to the next full length installment.
How would you recommend this method on minis with more flat surfaces such as space marine dreadnoughts or tanks?
Because the surfaces are flat you can’t do traditional dry brushing. Rather you can achieve amazing results stippling with the dry brush. It’s a different technique but you can get very nice effects on flatter surfaces. See Artis Opus. He does a lot of this technique mixed in with traditional dry brushing.
It's harder to do and looks more chalky on a flat surface but is still achievable with the same steps. You may want to put a but more moisture on the brush.
Very good advice! I recommend the same!
💯
Thank you!
Nice Video!! Thanks! I have an annoying question. Why not drybrush with this technique directly with the wanted Colours? Why white and then Contrast? Is it just a matter of taste for the fishished result??
You can. It’s a bit more technical and you really have to have good control of the moisture on the brush bristles to prevent a chalky look. Washes and contrast paint by nature stamps down that chalky texture so you often get a better look. Check out Artis Opus. He is the master of miniature dry brushing.
@@forouza1 Thanks !!
I'd say it's all about control. It's hard to control drybrushing when adding multiple colours to different areas of a mini. Especially a smaller mini.
Going from black to white (or other gradient) all over the mini means we don't have to worry too much about controlling where the brush goes, so we don't accidentally mess up any areas we've already painted.
I completely agree!
Comment for the algorithm. I already have a normal comment on part 2.
Thank you :D This is very much appreciated! Glad I have people like you watching my videos!
Do u have a from resin to paint video thank u
Not yet! I don't print my own minis so only plastic one atm
Fantastic tutorial, better than a lot of other slap chop tutorials, expecially because the gradual drybrush from dark grey to white give a better look.
Will you do a full video (not a short) of painting that Kroxigor? i'm curious.
However i'm curious of using the slap chop technique due to the speed, but i have some doubts that restrain me from using it instead of normal brush painting.....can i ask you some questions?
1)Mainly i'm restrained from using slap chop because in all tutorials i saw on youtube, the final result is almost always a dull/pale/desaturated look.....i mean, like an old painting, a more realistic look.... but personally i still prefer the "cartoonish" and vibrant look, like GW miniatures, painted with classic brush painting.
eg:
ua-cam.com/video/4b3rTGFxR5Q/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/users/shortsD1ol054MNvc
I saw your Saurus Warrior and Bretonnian Knight shorts and the result is really more vibrant and "cartoonish" and less pale/dull....and i like it!!!! why this difference? maybe it's due to having less black areas (more dark grey) and also due to the gradual passage from dark grey to white, instead of the classic slap chop black->grey->white drybrush?
i saw another youtube tutorial where the girl said that the black parts are not very good and if you start from grey you will get a better result.
Any suggestion?
2)Do you use a lot of normal brush highlights on the miniature after the contrast/speedpaint washing, as the Saurus Warrior or Bretonnian Knight shorts?
3)Do you use normal metallic paints and brush painting for metal parts (metal/gold) as per the Saurus Warrior short?
4)When you apply the contrast/speedpaint washes on the parts, what about the smudging on other parts that should be washed with different colours? do you re-apply black+grey/white drybrushes on the smudged part to cover it, or you simply cover it with the other colour? wouldn't it be noticeable?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it. My second video will be about using contrast/speed paints on the same miniature. It will be out at the end of the month. If you want to view it early there is the option to sign up to my patreon.
In answer to your questions:
1 & 2) Yes, once the contrast steps are done I use regular highlighting to achieve a brighter look. Grey can be used if you want the mini to look lighter, though in my opinion it doesn't make the mini look more saturated.
3) Yes, I mostly use normal metallic paints and a regular brush to detail the metallic parts. For the mini in this video I use a yellow contrast paint in the end, but only to explain some techniques when using transparent paint.
4) This depends on the colour. If I think it will show through I will repaint with a bit of grey/white. If I think the mistake might not show through I will just ignore it. It's practice that tells me this.
I hope those answers help :)
@@thepaintbeast thanks a lot for the answers, it helps a lot! i just subscribed as Ungor Scout :D
Can i ask you more about my point 1, which is the main doubt that restrain me from using slap chop? any suggestion to make the general look less desaturated/dull/pale? maybe it's due to the type of contrasts/speedpaints used, so i should use saturated ones?
thanks
That's great! Thank yo so much, the support is very appreciated!!!
Yeah, i'm more than happy to elaborate. One of the best ways that i find to help saturation is to use different colours to drybrush. For instance, on my recent Space Marine Salamander short I use a green drybrush over a gold basecoat. This really enhances the colour.
so with this Kroxigor you could use increasingly brighter drybrushes of blues to make the contrast paint stand out more. My future videos will cover that in more detail :)
@@thepaintbeast nice suggestion, very helpful! waiting to see your future videos :D
Thanks for this video ! Do you think I can use any piece of wood or the OSB like you use here is the best type of wood for this ?
Probably any piece of wood would work. OSB is going to be a bit more rough and textured so I would say you may have to work harder to get the paint off and create the right consistency on the brush bristles. I think another medium you could use is chipboard.
Any wood will do, as long as it will has the grain present for texture. :)
Again, right on the money! Couldn't agree more, well said!
Is the minature black primed
Yeah, primed in chaos black. You can use other black primers though.
Thank u sprayed on I assume
@@charlesrestivo870 correct! Sprayed with a rattle can
Great video just a bit vague on the very first step
What paints did you use?
I read them out at the start of the video. I realise now they are not in the description. I'll add them in the description soon :D
