    This looks so natural. Thanks for the video! I'm glad I'm not alone in doing the "wipe off" method when I mess up. Sometimes I feel like I wipe more paint off than I put on.

    • @mandysminis
      @mandysminis  Рік тому +1

      Thanks for watching! Totally not alone on that. I have a wipe off method for creating a texture/adjustment when my glazing gets too thick. I'll do a video on that sometime, too.

    Thanks, I really don't like to use yellow paint (they're harder to use for some reason). Definitely gonna try this.

    • @mandysminis
      @mandysminis  Рік тому +1

      Yes, yellow is really tricky. A red base coat under the yellow helps give you better coverage though. I'd love to see pics of how it goes.

    I personally use a lot of Reaper paints, and they have a triad explicitly for blonde hair - and none of them are "yellow", they're more like pale desaturated ochres. I was personally glad to see a bunch of Reaper paints on your desk, including that Sample you tried to hide the label of at the start. :D

    • @planetschlock
      @planetschlock Рік тому +1

      The first time I ever mixed a blonde color, I think I used Reaper Desert Sand as a base.

    • @mandysminis
      @mandysminis  Рік тому

      Yes, I don't like the triads because I prefer more contrast than they offer. But I think they are great for beginners.

    • @mandysminis

    Is this pretty close to doing gold NMM on the hair? At least as far as the colors go?

    • @mandysminis
      @mandysminis  11 місяців тому +1

      Great question! It's similar, but not as extreme. Nmm requires major contrast changes, and here we're not going as dark or to the absolute brightest possible. Also, the placement of where the contrast is keeps it from looking metallic, but they are similar colors for my gold nmm. I have a video on that coming soon (January or february), so look out for that. But if you want my gold nmm secrets early, let me know, and I'll get you some brief tips and colors.

    Hey guys. As usually a solid and “makes sense”. Idea
    I have always wanted to paint darker skin tones, such as African.

      Thanks! I actually have a video planned on just that topic (darker skin tones). It's easier than we make it. Yes, we actually have 2 3d printers. We'll schedule a video to share our very limited knowledge on that. I mean, it works for us, but we're a far cry from experts on that topic. Lol.

  • @jherskow
    @jherskow Рік тому +2

    My only additional comment would be that some of the paints you used were a little uncommon at best. Can you break down the colors on some kind of color chart or planning board so those of us who don’t have the exact same could find alternatives?
    Oh and your hands looked fine. I heard that you were concerned about that
