- My friends, tonight we'll take a look at my first attempt at figure painting with all the proper techniques used by miniature painters.
Here's a beginner tutorial I used for skin painting: tinyurl.com/y4lh6gz6

This video is a classic uncle Nightshift:
Paints a figure on a level many wargamers with hundreds of figures under their belt won't archieve and is still telling everyone that it is not that good...
Please never change XD
He does it on the models too! "aah its not that great" about a model that , had i made it, i would carry with me for life to show everyone, an that id probably take with me to bed..
Agree 100%. His first try is probably one of the best figures I’ve ever seen and definitely far, far better than my best try.
His humbleness speaks volumes. If I could get even close to the level of his first figure, I would be ecstatic!
been painting figures for 30 years. the above statement is, by my experience, true.
@@pathwanderer1183 same same...
Papa Nightshift: oH goD I'm So BaD AT PainTiNG FiGurEs.
Also papa Nightshift: makes a plastic figure look like a real human being
Oh yeah daddy night shift!
Chip my paints!
@@flyingeyeproductions5552 🙄
Haha, right?
I saw step 2 and was like "Welp, looks better than some of the minis I've painted..."
This guy's a genius in my opinion. Wish I had 1% of his skill.
Same
This Is Fact 🤓
Same
facts
Wish I had 50% of his patience and eye for detail.
Night Shift: Chipping is part of my religion, even on figures I will find something to chip
Chipping: this is the way
your nick sound Polish
Humility, honestly integrity. He even films his breakdowns. That's why you're such a damn good tutor. You're authentic. People relate. Oh, did I mention also an Epic modeller?
“I shall call him, Mini Martin!”
-Martin, probably
Model companies: *makes specific paint colors*
Modelers: “I’m gonna use a concoction of several paint colors for this”
You need to see the "50 shades of Feldgrau" pictures, where they have about 50 different jackets laid out and no 2 are the same color.
Favourite time of the week 👍🏻
When his first figure is better than ones you've been making for a year😔
Anyways, looks amazing!
And then he complains how bad it looks :(
I know how you feel
I have been painting figures for more than 30 years and that one is better than my best one
Just follow that tutorial and you may get even better result.
@@deMarbot so clearly you are doing something wrong 😆
like i said when you asked, it looks great in giving the model life
I'd rather a model with a poor figure than no figure at all!
Jerry Volpini - even an unpainted figure, at least then you get an idea of the scale.
@@dotdashdotdash Yes, lol 😆
Camera work was great; so many figure painting videos where it would've helped if the camera was a lot closer.
Me: should be paying attention in school
Night shift: uploads
Me: well alrighty then
Me: has a final exam in 30 minutes...
lol, I skipped German for this.
@SonofEyeAboveAll effoff but it teaches the important things.
@SonofEyeAboveAll effoff wow, no shit?
A suggestion for the future. I recommend painting a bit of a shadow on the tank where the hand is covering edge of the hatch. It helps sell the relationship between the figure and the vehicle.
Black leather i use English uniform and black with a wee touch of brown, gives you a nice leather effect. Great video mate....
Never painted a figure before. Immediately paints a better looking figure than i have in 23 years 😄
“My first attempt”
*paints this perfectly as he has already done 100000 more before*
“Yes totally the first time”
for a year i'm "trying" to paint figures of all sort of scales, and usually having fun but after watching your video with your FIRST figure I feel sad ;-) .... its not fair :-D
As a figure modeler (primarily), it was fascinating to watch your work here. Your excellent brush control, your light touch, and your patience served you very well on this figure. This is a strong result for nearly any painter and a remarkable result for a new figure painter. I was especially impressed by your understanding of subtle color variations, which most painters take quite a lot of time to develop. My guess is that you are already practiced in actually seeing the colors that are present rather than just assuming that you already know what should be there.
A couple of things:
* Every miniature figure goes through a stage where it looks ... not good. Really not good. This doesn't change with experience; even the best painters I know have this happen. All you can do is trust that you will eventually work through to the other side and find the results you were looking for. This is what you did here, but I wanted to mention that it's very likely to happen with _every_ figure. The only thing that gets better is that you get used to the feeling.
* If you want bright, saturated reds (or most colors, really) when painting over a dark substrate, you might try a tonal underpainting with white, then glazing the color over the top rather than mixing the white in with the color. The latter will tend to desaturate the color, while painting in a translucent color over a light to dark gradient tends to give you much more vibrant results. With a worn uniform, as here, a bit of desaturation can be useful of course, since those colors tend to fade pretty quickly on cloth. I mention this mostly in case you want a less faded result in a future figure.
Brilliant start with figure painting that I think adds quite a lot to the excellent tank model.
My friend you are too humble, it looks great! There's always room for improvement but your foundation is truly impressive.
Great work! You could also use one of your lighter grey tones watered down for a glaze to apply to his jaw and upper lip for 5 o'clock shadow
Not bad at all. I like the result, and by using different colors than “how you s’posed to do it” you made Hans uniquely yours. Great video!
I don't know what kind of weird perfectionist you are, but the face looks incredible. Especially the eyes are some of the best I've seen on a model
