Our local hobby shop did an event where they had a bucket of different Citadel paints and you had to pick out 6 at random. Using those 6 you then had to paint a model before a deadline. It was an interesting challenge and I really enjoyed it
Love this type of content. It's easy to get overwhelmed watching a UA-camr who has tons of experience use a specific paint for each little part of a model. So its nice to see that even with a starter box of paints, anyone can paint a fantastic miniature with the right skill.
I agree very strongly with this comment. Such a great concept Mr. Ninjon.
Dude this looks so good. That skin tone is amazing
A welcome surprise seeing you here
@@typhus7796 He's incognito. His Clark Kent disguise is to just take Dr. out of his name. Because of this disguise, we aren't supposed to recognise him.
Now he just needs to paint a whole orks army with the scheme
When worlds collide haha
Wanna play Blood Bowl?
Speaking as a beginner, this is the best mini painting video I have ever seen. We learn about colour, we make our own judgements, we see so much of how what you're doing affects the result.... I will definitely be trying this.
those side characters man, i need to delve into the ninjon extended uniserve
the NCU
@@kickbuttcool *neu . Which is German and means "new". My point is... Profit.
@@1989eol i meant the ninjon senmatic univers
@@kickbuttcool point taken. But you have to have a real safe grip on your sanity, if you want to enter THIS.
@@1989eol what do you mean
Man, this was fantastically entertaining and inspiring to watch. I love how much pressure was taken off by just using the paints in the box. Seriously something I am going to implement in order to help with the analysis paralysis.
I think the characters should be doing the ads. This one broke into your house, he could have easily explained how SurfShark works for you.
Dammit I should have thought of that!
This is terrific- seeing what you can do with just the basic paints was amazing! More of this would be fantastic…
Agree
Its a Zorn Palette, which is an amazing limited palette to work with. Whoever put that particular paint set together actually knew what they were doing. Most of GWs limited sets are garbage color combos.
The skits at the beginning are always amazing. 10/10.
Loved the video, Jon. And honestly, I'd love to see more takes on the "Start Painting" boxes from multiple ranges. It's always cool to watch an artist thrive with limited resources. I'm very tempted to try this process now myself 😅
This video concept is so good. It's very uplifting, given that it's how many of us started, and this ork was dope as hell
I loved this! I'm very new to painting, and I get a bit overwhelmed when I watch a video where they have a seemingly endless supply of paint colors and special tools like an airbrush at their disposal. I appreciate that you also talked about your thought process when mixing your colors. I learned a lot from this one, thanks!
Who knew being broke af would be a plus while learning to paint 😂
Ye
I'd love to see you do more of these starter paint set pieces! It's fun, and really interesting to watch how you work within the limitations
Just look at this, he made cheap paint kits look good, as they say limitation breeds creativity
Thanks I DID really appreciate this approach. Personally, I’m interested in a video on how to paint your D&D character without overwhelming the mini because it’s one thing to have special objects for the character and have items they’re wearing from places and encounters in the game, but another when it’s on the mini 😣
It’s best to have a low level, mid level, and high level. If you use consistent colors ( brass for details, silver for metal, ect) it looks consistent and it’s easier to do. To much variety creates a muddy looking mess. Complimentary colors are also the best for clothing (red and yellow looks good.)
I've seen soooo many videos about painting with a limited pallet and always thought "-This is not for me".
After watching this video i sat down (for the first time in months) and painted a model i've been planning on painting for years.
I figured since i haven't painted it yet, lets just give it a go with a limited pallet. And my god, i think its the paintjob im the most happy with since i started painting. just because you did this video, so thank you!
We're continuing to see the fracturing of Jon's sanity into a series of intro characters
This video is going to definitely help me with my new ork army. Thanks Jon.
Suggestion for another limited palette video: Put 20 or something colours on a wheel, spin it five times. Add white and black. Have fun
Even funnier would be a smaller wheel where you can only use 2 types of brushes.
*hard mode is when you add in a sweeping brush, a sponge, and making a bootleg brush wish someone's hair(pets shedding also works)*
Yes, this!
Watching you paint minis made me dig out my paints and start painting minis again too. I havent painted one in almost 20 years, forgot how fun it is, especially when you have limited colors.
I really dig this idea… doing more with less and getting away from the “I need more paints” mentality. Also the tip about glazing the shadows is perfect!
Ya I agree I have a few different paints but most of them are limited colors in a variety of ranges for effects. Like contrast paints, kimera, scale75. I like that although I don't have 100 different colors, I do have different techniques I can use.
@@rikimaru_vr same… I’ve found that I can do a ton of different things with the Blood Angels contrast paint! The undercoat and dilution approach really makes it versatile.
@@rogue.guineapig ya I really think undercoating with the contrast paints is the way to do it
This really helps me as well since I just started warhammer and painting and collecting, really, but, I just bought the nyds start collecting along with the elite and command edition and the starter paint set so seeing the possibilities with the paints I own is awesome! I've been trying to find more videos using the paints in the starter paint set but no one has one really:/
@@somedude5465 one of the best pieces of advice I heard is that recipes usually don't matter.
Just use whatever colors you like in the army, the only thing that matters is writing down your procedure so you can replicate it for the whole army, but if it's hero or unique jobs just have fun with the colors at your disposal.
I definitely like the "try it and see" kind of videos because it helps out those of us with a limited palette to showcase what you can actually do. I'm still learning the whole painting thingerie that you're so good at and I have just recently stopped blaming the tools when things don't come out right. Thanks for being an awesome youtube creator. I look forward to your videos more than any other painting channel. Yes even Scott. He's great, but you're better.
You know, I actually like that "camo green" ork skin. It actually feels vastly better than bright green or even dark green ork skin. It is almost a "classic" Tolkien orc skin color. It looks brilliant.
I like this type of video, so many of us are trying to work with a limited palette and this helps reinforce that you don’t need 150 pots of paint in order to put out a really strong product. Thanks
Glazesfor shadows, and opaque layers for highlights, someone's thinking like an oil painter. It's always fun to see hobby painting find its way into tried and true fine art techniques and methods.
I think there's a trapped under plastic podcast episode (I think it's S2E2) where john and scott talk about oil painting. (Scott is painting his Chaos Knight) John sings some high praise.
I mean, paint is paint. honestly we should look at the world of fine art for inspiration more often
Your videos were part of what got me to try painting and so I love when you do videos like this one because I still have a very limited amount of paint at my disposal and seeing you make a lot with a little encourages me that I can make something great with what I have. For future videos, I know you mentioned painting a Chaos army before and your custom Defiler is one of the coolest models I have ever seen so I would love to see paint on that!
This was great, Jon. Working with a limited palette is a wonderful way of expanding your skills. I'd love to see more of this type of thing. Thanks for the video and the inspiration!
I love this!! As an Ork player I got pumped for the Ork, and then got hooked because of the challenge. Please do more of these challenges!!! This was amazing!
That is a great deal for that "Blitz" Bowl set! Nicely done, goes to show what you can do with a limited palette, using only a little experience and creativity!
I liked how you talked about the technical side of painting. All the tips about mixing were great.
Jon we need a video where you and Scott go head to head on who can paint the most realistic tendie. I’m sure a good print or STL is out there somewhere.
Lol
@@Ninjon PLZ
Great work. Totally amazed how you can take such simple tools and end up with a great result. Shows that you're talented but also that you know how to think about where and what to paint. And I suppose that's what I really enjoy about your content - the delivery is great too, but the real gravy is the advice on how to use the paints properly. Seeing you paint those volumes on his arm with the green and the yellows and then putting the accents on with the glazing was really insightful. But also understanding how all those minute details all have to tie in together to allow the mini to really pop was great information.
This guy is even wierder then that "Brent" character from last time.
Yea. But I think he doesn't have the same depth of character.
@@1989eol But that other character has this whole backstory. I mean who creates an entire 2nd UA-cam channel with almost a hundred videos just for a simple intro! Thats some SERIOUS dedication to a skit.
Don’t know about content however I love these videos and even this old crusty has learned a few things. Keep up the good work.
@@michaelpierson982 Absolutely true. And the casting for this actor. This must have been a job. He is one of a kind.
@@1989eol The real question is Animatronic cats, CGI, or Cyborg?
Love this format. Orks are my favorite and this was a great example of how to make them look great! Showing that its possible to complete a paint job that looks this good with limited paints is really cool.
Love this video, and that's just a fantastic paintjob. Would love to see similar, "painting-with-a-limited-palette" style videos, especially a starter set. It's really inspiring to see just how far you can make a starter set go. Oh, also, I'd love to see you paint an Ogor model - your approach to skin here is super cool, and I bet could make for some amazing skin tones on those big hangry boys.
It's cool how the limitations on what paints to use can be worked around and still turn out a awesome paintjob, love this kind of video
Suggestion: I came here from Miniac and tbh I've never done a "mini", but found the gaming side of the hobby has a lot of great tips and workarounds for the side of the hobby I am interested in, and that is tanks, aircraft and ships. Would you consider building, painting and weathering an aircraft or armor kit in a build series, and maybe even convince Scott to join in and do one on his channel?
I am sure there are more of your followers who build kits from other genres in this hobby and would love to see you guys tackle this 😉😁
I'd kinda second this one. I love the stuff you guys are doing, but sprinkling in something like what Night Shift does, or Plasmo. Those guys do a nice job in that space and it would be fun to see you guys in the gaming modeling space spread out a bit! :) Keep up the good work fellas!
Military figure and a piece of armor would be a great video. A maschinen kreiger suit would be cool too.
Love the Ork. You are such an inspiration. I haven't touched a brush in 3 years, and you showed me what I was missing. I was trying to speed paint. Where I actually wanted to paint slowly and beautiful.
God I love this channel. You're such a welcome addition to this space, keep it up Jon!
I always learn something during your videos. I love that you challenge yourself by limiting what you can use.
Come on Mountain Dew give this talented man a sponsor! But really, i love how it turned out. Buying thousands of paint is a sickness that many of us have to bear but this goes to show that it's really not necessary at all.
I'm 42 years old and just started learning to paint minis and this was inspiring. I really enjoyed this as it showed that you don't need everything to get fantastic results. I looked at my paint collection and laughed when I saw at least 5 different browns, and I think I've only used 2 of them.
"Actively used incisors" is a good name for a band.
This is so great. I have been trying lately to use fewer paints with limited palettes. Vids like these are super useful for newbies to the hobby and show what's possible. More of these, please!
"Example of use, mini not included" - One step forward, 3 steps back GW.
Well played mr. GW, well played
Seriously, they could have put in a single model sprue. They give you everything else, including hobby clippers, but nothing to clip!
Maybe the intention was to use those clippers, plastic glue, and the cheap plastic tray to model your own figure. But seriously, yes, they should have at least included a single figure.
Um, most paint sets don't include miniatures with them, other than the occasional GW flagship-faction specific set with paints directed at a certain army and including a few models of that army. Many brands and other GW sets haven't included models because they are meant to be a low price entry point that you can use with the miniatures you like that you probably already have or bought a small cheap set of a few miniatures from the shelf next to it, again, of your choice. It would be one thing if they did just rip you off and lie about box contents, but the one little picture with a disclaimer isn't that and something that simple isn't unheard of for most products.
@@Alittlefruitgoesalongway It's about context. These sets are sold in book shops that probably don't have a huge range of minis for you to pick from, or maybe none at all. It's also possible that someone's first experience of the hobby would be ruined if they didn't read the smallprint and expected there to be a mini inside. Not including a single mini is a missed opportunity for GW.
You put out some of my favorite miniature painting content on youtube. Wish it was more often, but I respect you having a life.
I feel like you could make a little series out of this, with different start painting box sets. It was really cool to see what you could do with a limited selection, and I'd definite watch something similar again applied to a different selection of paints / minis.
I don’t usually comment but I watch all your videos. I LOVE your intro, it always makes me giggle!!! I always learn a lot and I like how you used a limited palette. Thanks for making me smile everyweek!!!
Today I learned that Barnes and Noble carries (carried?) GW stuff.
So does Target and different Walmarts
I find this so mich fun to watch, both because I have yet to paint my first model and live vicariously thru all the minitubers I follow and because I enjoy seeing someone (especially a minituber I've been following for awhile) challenge themselves and enjoy themselves whilst doing it!!
"No it wasn't" 😂
I love when I see the artists I look up to challenge themselves. Its as if yall are still learning as I am learning. I would love to see more of these starter set challenges. As these starter sets are where I started in 8th with the death guard one.
Carl has some personal space issues.
One of the best videos from you! I really like how you explained your creative flow when using a limited palette.
This was incredible, while I'm not confident enough to mix paints like that and keep the shades consistent - I learnt so much! I've needed a rust colour and have overlooked Mournfang Brown! And I was considering using Deathworld Forest for the base tone flesh for the upcoming Kruel Boyz and this video has helped cement that scheme for me! That final model is absolutely incredible, I love these single set paint challenges
Skrag brown is also a great rust/dirt effect when heavily thinned down! Combining the two would probably give ytou some really detailed rust.
Wet palettes would allow you to keep more mixed paints for longer, improving your ability to keep them consistent.
Seriously man I love all your videos, as a very new painter I actually appreciate and can really relate to a restricted palette video or any video done with very basic supplies. Some of the videos out there make you think you need this vast collection that is super expensive but when you show these types of results with so little you show people that all you need is a passion and practice. And ofcourse all of your videos lol thanks again man
Absolutely gorgeous, i agree with the limited pallete philosophy. My friends did a couple of challenges over lock down and this sort of thing really pushed my understanding and creativity. I'd love to see you do a series of these with different sets like this!
Starter set painting challenges are great! Out of the box thinking with the contents of a box. Wait what? This was a great demonstration of taking what you see and sticking to it. It’s so easy to just paint by the numbers as a new painter. This helps a dudes like me get closer to what we aspire to. Confidence bolstered by possibilities. Maybe a collaboration like this seeing how your Fellow UA-cam painters would have used a starter set in their way? Might Be a good excuse to eat some tendies with them too!
Thank you for making this video, dear lad. I've been collecting oldhammer and midhammer orks for a while now, like ol' metal Black Orcs and squigs, up to the regretably discontinued (common) orc boarboys. I always bought a few things off ebay for my birthday and the like, but never got around to actually painting, because it felt like I need soooo many colours. I think this is finally gonna nudge me towards getting just a basic set and make do with what I have! Beautiful orc lad, and I looove his helmet, ha!
This is actually probably one of the best mini painting videos I've seen on youtube, and I'm really glad I found your channel. I feel extremely inspired and motivated after watching to take more risk and just go with the flow when tackling projects.
You have become my favorite miniature painting youtuber of all time. Absolutely hilarious intros and very informative content. I just recently got into Warhammer and painting them is by far my favorite part! Thanks so much for being awesome and I look forward to watching your next video!
Big fan of this, a small problem with many paintmen on youtube (you included, sorry.) is that budget viewers are sometimes overlooked. Its hard when a tutorial is "4 easy steps to making your minis look good!" and step 1 is buy an airbrush lol. Its super useful seeing intermediate and high level techniques being done with very limited resources since for many hobbyists buying more paints/tools vs more minis is a very real choice we have to make with every purchase! Love your channel, love your content
I took the summer off from hobbying to avoid burnout and deal with life. I'm glad I did because now I can't wait to get back into it. Just waiting for this winter storm to be over so I can fly home from camp and get back at it with new invigoration.
On the plus side I've got all yours and Scott's videos and podcasts to catch up on.
Keep up the good work amigo!!
This is a seriously good clinic for teaching utilization of a palette over selection of colors. Killer for budget builders. Nicely done
Currently painting my whole army this way. Just started collecting and painting again after forever and don't have many paints anymore. Didn't know what color scheme to go with so I grabbed a starter paint set like that one and just went with it. Pretty fun.
The beginningsketch was so good! Its not an easy thing to do actually.
I really enjoy when you set limitations for yourself and work within those constraints. It is both fascinating and inspiring.
Very much like this, just got into the hobby at 39 and I feel so overwhelmed and like I'm never catch up to these massive walls of paints I see others having. Every video gives me a new idea of something to try!
Great video! I very much enjoyed the premise of painting using a specific paint set and limiting yourself to only using what came in the set. Showing how much depth and interest that can be created by mixing your own paint combinations was very helpful for a beginner. Please consider doing more paint set videos. Also, your pacing, descriptions and camera shots were well done!
Loving the outcome, and Love the idea of limiting the paint pallete.
Watching you skillfully divide and conquer this model piece by piece was inspiring.
Loved this, great to see what can be done with a limited palette
That Orc-skin is fabulous. A limited palette brings things together so nicely. It´s like music. If you have all the instruments and effects at you disposal you can loose focus on what it´s all about. I´d even say that limiting a complete army paintjob to ~10 selective colors would make for a very coherent and fascinating army with your skill involved. It´s as you said with the brown tones... we all have too many of them and they just cause confusion.
this is really cool to see. I have a limited amount of paint, because I am new to the painting hobby. Learning how to mix colors and do the shadows and highlights is really helpful.
This was one of the most instructional mini painting videos I've ever watched. Incredible job.
This was fantastic. I love limited palette projects. The subdued green looks so much better than the typical green treatment orks get. Thanks for sharing this idea.
Loved it. I’ve only recently tried painting models with large areas of bare skin. Your layering technique is on point. I learn so much watching your videos.
Loved seeing what can be done with a starter paint set.
This Ork cam out amazingly! You should definitely do more videos like this one...the limited number of paints provided and interesting focus.
Way to go man. So refreshing to see a channel that takes pride in the tried and true paintbrush and not air brushing 90% of it. Keep up the good work.
This is probably one of my fave vids of yours, seeing how you think your way though the colours, highlights, and shadow when applying layers is super interesting. All at home hobbits work within some restraints whilst working, very cool to see that reflected here.
Loved this. So good to limit the paint on your pallet. Great result!
Dude... that skin is outstanding!! I'm still a newbie but I do like to try for some degree of proficiency by painting "interesting" minis with oodles of detail to push myself. However this can get so overwhelming that I get analysts paralysis and put thw model off half completed for months! My other half sent me this video to show me that simple is sometimes just as interesting and I'm definitely going to try limit my paint pallet on some of my projects. I have a trio of orcs that I haven't got past the base of the skin for yet so this is actually a perfectly timed video! Thank you for existing! We appreciate you. Also.... get that window fixed! Thanks again for your work! Xxx
Absolutely loved this video!! Not only does the model look awesome, but the experiment of limiting yourself to a set colour pallet is really nice. I truly found my love of mixing my own colours form watching your videos.
I've been painting for years, but this little challenge you've set before us has me inspired. I'm a fairly competent painter, but I wouldn't consider myself especially great, yet. But I can see how using an enforced limitation like a small variety of color options will force me to learn skills I've been intimidated by, and think more creatively. Once I get a decent space set up to work, I'm gonna try something similar
I used to play as a teenager and have been looking to get back into it. It's been great and inspiring to see you can get a great-looking mini with a very restricted paint set and don't necessarily need 100s different tones to get a fantastic-looking model!
I like this type of limited palate video. It's fun to watch the process of working with what you have and I think the lessons are really helpful for most painters.
Not only are these entertaining and learning experience to watch, they're closer to what I paint my Orks (camo green brightest/2nd brightest) and would want to paint ork metal
Loved this video. I always get lost in the pallet selection process. It's nice to be reminded that thought skill and fun can always make a model shine
Great watch. I just started, and am also limited, palette wise. Started mixing on my own, but learned a lot still. Thank you!
I've been watching a TON of painting videos lately as I get ready to get back into Tabletop wargames and RPGs, and this video is my FAVORITE by far so far!
Those cold opens are just getting better and better. Learned a lot from the video too!
Starter sets video's are pretty good to watch, gives you more ideas on what you can create from the limited supplies.
Perfect timing for such a video, since I'm just starting out with mini painting and all I have so far is one of the Vallejo starter sets. Interesting to see what you can do with only a handful of paints, because I didn't even start and I already feel like I'll need more paints right of the bat. Would only like seeing more of you actually mixing paints and your thought process behind it, but otherwise great video!
Well played. Man teaching a young painter how to use a limited color palette like this is simply amazing! A+
A great paint job with a limited palette - sometimes less is more - and it suits the subject matter 100%.
I started painting with Citadel's Monster Paint Set back in the day, and it was certainly a baptism of fire.🤨
Painters should appreciate the plethora of materials available to them in this day and age, techniques have evolved, and the standard has improved exponentially, plus there was no internet to watch great painting tutorials like this.
Anyway, I digress. Thanks for a crackin' tutorial, and I appreciate the time and effort taken to produce it.
Every day's a school day.
It was hard to say from the thumbnail but I honestly think this is one of my favourite ork paint schemes not to mention ork flesh tones I’ve ever seen, super believable. Awesome work as always
Love the creative thinking and problem solving in this one.
Great video!
It's great to see you and other UA-camrs emphasizing that you can mix colors. You don't need the exact shade and tone in separate bottles. You and Scott mentioned in your FOMO podcast episode that mixing certain paints kills vibrancy, and I'd love to see a video exploring this.
Another video idea that might be a bit tricky is exploring colorblindness. I'm red-green colorblind and while this orc looks fantastic, I know I'm seeing mostly the light-dark contrast and less green-brown color contrast that other people are seeing. This also affects my painting ( but I don't really know how, since I can't see like other people)
