Short, sharp and to the point without all sorts of roundabout introduction or sales shenanigans.
7 months on and I come back to this video every time I want to paint faces for a refresher. Thanks for making it.
Im gald it was helpful for the community
The brown for the eyes is genius, never seen it on any other tutorial.
glad you found the tip helpful
Yes, please. Do a second part for the rest of the mini.
I love that you just got to the technique with no fancy opening title sequence or whatever. Great video!
why waste your time displaying the channel name in a 3d animation with dubstep playing on the background :P
im just here to help people enjoy the hobby even more
Omg best tutorial ever! I've watched literally hundreds of tutorials I kid you not! This was to-the-point and covered the ENTIRE face! Never thought to do eyes like that, and never knew to do a glazing at the end of the highlights. I struggled with this for sooo long until now. Thank you!
very happy to hear, i ll aim to keep my content to that level
@theminiforge do you think you could do one with pale skin tones? Such as ionrach skin? I'm not sure what to use as a good shade color. I painted my first eyes tonight with this vid and am happy with the result. Needs practice, plus sculpt wasn't good, but it works well!
@@Lavendeer201 can do another one for sure with pale skin, but cant promise it will come out soon since we are in old world hype month. Do have in mind gw names things in way they dont even use them themsleves, that a paint has a name might mean that is designed for a purpose but that color might represent the final highlight.
That color seems to have a hint of green, so maybe try something with a hint of blue for the shadows("hint of" not straight blue)
@@resourcefulminiatures ty much! :)
Best video I've seen on faces.
thank you very much
Hands down the best face painting tutorial I’ve seen fit minis on UA-cam. Well done!

Thank You
Really liked the quick straight forward tut. Liked and subscribed.
thank you very much
Great paintjob! Also, the model looks like Joaquin Phoenix :)
Thank You!
This is awesome!! Instant share.
Thank You very mcuh
thats a great tutorial!
thank you!
Simple easy process. Thank you! I hate painting faces, so this is a smooth process for me to work with.
remember the key is to not let those "glazes" overflow the recesses and they will tie everything up. Best Of Luck
Super helpful tutorial! Thinking about picking up the gallia line from highland myself for mordheim.
I would, they keep the old fantasy look with a fresh style
Amazing video, thanks
Happy you liked it
Part 2 - yes please!
Great job. I really enjoyed when you painted the chicks.😉
hahaha
Yes, part 2 please!!
Wow = cant wait for part 2
Thanks!
Thank you for the support! Happy you enjoyed it
Super cool!! For the shadow, did you use magenta or purple? Looks like magenta, right?
kinda in between its evil red from the new vallejo game color
Can you do one with a face that doesn't have as chiseld features? I especially have trouble with softer faces like elves and those with more feminine features
sure!i ll have it present next time i stumple upon such a face
Wonderrful!
glad you liked it
Do a Part 2 please!
Great video.
thank you very much
Rest of the model please. Good job!
amazing work. could you please do a tutorial on how to paint feminine faces? possibly with make up too? painting sisters of battle heads feels hopeless, they all end up looking like men for me. i'm tired of stripping the paint off of tiny plastic heads.
sure can, i have written down "female skin" in my to teach list which tends to be much smoother tah nmale skin, so ill touch on faces as well when get to it
What is this mini? I absolutely love this sculpt. To say nothing of the awesome paintjob you started.
its from highlands miniatures, actually a free gift from september i belive
@@resourcefulminiatures Wow. I might have to sign up and try to get that STL. He'd make a great Bretonnian.
@@neinach927 indeed, you ll see hium fully painted in the next video
What do you do if you make a mistake during the eyes? Just repaint with black and start over? I always run into this issue😭
yep, you go back a step. Usually is the pupil the one that requires going back to the white when the second eye ends up not in the same position as the first
What size brush do you use for details like this?
used n2 for the face and n1 for the eyes
For the love of God everyone do not make your paint this thick because that is how you obscure detail! Paint is what does it! When you add water it thins out the paint enough to not obscure the detail in the same way dipping your model in yogurt versus dipping it in skim milk.... Which would obscure the detail more? The thicker yogurt would after one dip but no matter how many times you dip it in skim milk there will always be the same detail. It's the same idea with Paint. Paint without water is thicker than paint with water. 5thin coats is always going to look 100 percent better than one thick coat. Always have to do at very minimum 2 coats.
That's not true. If your paint is really thin it covers up much less detail than thicker paint. If you do 3 layers of very thin paint there is going to be much more detail then if you made it thick enough for one layer to be enough. Adding water just simply doesn't make more medium which would typically obscure detail, instead water just evaporates. It might be a little bit of a pain but I find watering down my paint to the point of having to do 3 coats is the most optimal in my opinion. Please for the love of God don't try and get things in 1 layer. I paint competitively and this is one of the most important things. Other than that this guys coloring technique is pretty decent. I don't know why he dropped such a big bomb in the beginning though because that is something you discover pretty early on.
