I am a newbie to hobby. 74 years old and still appreciate beauty and skills to learn. Have already started by painting a wonder woman and cat woman. Your methods were my baseline guide . Well done
Thanks for sharing, using makeup on the heads I’m working on now, so easy to do blends and shading and feathers away nicely, so much easier than using thin glazes.
I'm working on smaller figures, such as 1/24 and 1/48 scales, but even so, I think some of your techniques can be used, adapted just a bit. I do use Vallejo paints, but first spray the basic skin tone using Tamiya flat flesh acrylics. The Vallejo paints I apply with brushes, as the faces are just too small to attempt shading and highlights by airbrush. Thanks for the great video.
I have been binging skin painting videos recently because so far I have only painted masked characters covered head to toe. Time to branch out a bit. Thanks for the tutorials
Great video, great channel - I regularly check you out along with a couple others and compare your various techniques then comp together a clearer idea of what I want to achieve. Appreciate your efforts and B. Widow's face came out real well.
Nice work, clearly explained and broken down for that booger - boo that is face painting. I learned a lot that I will definitely be using on the next figure I tackle. Thanks!
Amazing video, thank you! Two suggestions if I may: 1) if your camera allows it, set the white balance/exposure to a fixed value. Sometimes the face looked too orange, sometimes too pink, sometimes burnt out (over exposed), etc. 2) share links to your other videos in description so that those "i talked about this in another of my video" videos are easier/quicker to find. This would be so helpful and a real time saver for those of us a little short on time 😆 Cheers!
Sorry about that. I use my camera phone but I'm working on getting an actual camera. lol And yes I'll leave more links in the videos. Thanks for reminding me. I'm old.!
There was a lot of useful information here. I'm still in the study phase but when I'm finally printing and painting figures to add to my man-child collection, I know where I'll be coming back. Plus, thanks to your channel I've at least narrowed down the printer I want (the Anycubic Photon Mono X) Thanks for making and sharing this, man.
Eyes take a lot of practice and patience. Make sure you have a fine tip brush, some magnifying glasses, perhaps a micron pen and just take a head that you're not using and practice. Try it once, then primer over it and do it again and again.
@@TheCreativeCollector I will see if I can find that. Any other advice you have for me wouid be awesome. Love your UA-cam videos. All your statues are awesome. Hope to be as good as you one day. Ordered the flesh set. And the paint brush you use
Very well done. Looks really realistic. Do you perhaps paint miniature figures. I have some lead figures that I'm busy with between marvel and DC characters. Would like too see how you paint some of them. Like 1:21 scale.
Nice work! If i'm right, the color from the beggining of the video is a Vallejo Game Color 72.099 (Cadmium Skin). Maybe, this info would be helpfull for those who will try to repeat this tutorial.
Very helpful, thank you! I will say, her eyeshadow needed a hair more blending out, and add a touch more highlight to her cupids bow, you'll have a much more polished look. The stippling for her skin tone was awesome!
Je suis français et j ai découvert ta chaîne UA-cam. Et merci pour ton travail et les tutos c est un plaisir de les regarder. J ai hâte de découvrir ton travail. Tu es inspirant !! Merci
Great tips in this video mate. Do you ever print multiples of your models and do alternate paint jobs? So a realistic version and maybe like a comic version?
Very informative thank you! Lots of stuff I did not know and it turned out great! Keep up the awesome content! Is that the Wicked3D Mephisto behind you? Looks awesome.
Do you have video that shows what all goes into the base you use. You say, "A little mixture that I always talk about that I mix up". Thank you very much for this video. I've been struggling with skin tones, eyes, lips, hair, etc. Hope this is my holy grail. Thanks again.
Hey Mike. I do have a couple of videos that go more into what I mix up for skin tones. Scroll through but I think the second one third video I ever made was on mixing skin tones.
Just found your channel as I'm a 64 yr fella who just got into modeling 3 yrs ago, the last time I modeled I was 10. My question, can you PVA glue the resin base and say Flock it?
I have a question what did you actually use on the lips to colour them I noticed you had some kind of pallet thing ? and for the shine as well was that just varnish or something fantastic work as always your videos constantly help us thank you and have an awesome weekend
No I don't. Reason is because if you put a little white dot and then gloss it, you lose the true color of the eye and it looks unnatural. So I let the gloss reflect it from the natural light.
A wonderful video and thanks for showing how you do realistic skin tones! (Ordered one of those headlight glasses via your A-link that could be a vision saver for me!) 🤓Great channel. 👍
@@TheCreativeCollector whoa that kinda blows my mind cause I do the upside down in a cup. Do u have like wall mounts for em? Probably worth doing for the fine detail ones. It’s the worst when I go do an eyeball and one stray bristle does some random off centered dot haha
Thank you for the info. You keep it simple and easy. A lot of videos make you crazy. I have been doing this on and off for a few years. Just retired and need more to do. Also is it possible to make some side cash as well and have you ever sold your work. I would like to keep this as a hobby but a couple of extra bucks wouldn't hurt. Any thoughts and thank you again. Keep up the great work!!!!
I have a question about your base coat for skin tones. In your pre mixed bottle is it all paint or is it mixed with thinner or water? Also do you have or know of a video about blending/fixing a skin, face tone when you make a mistake with another color and you don’t have a match to the exact skin tone color you used? If that makes sense?
Really good questions! Yes I do have a little bit of thinner in my mix however I do thin it again when in the airbrush. Paint can thicken up over time while in the container. I don't have a video on how to fix tones but it seems like maybe I need to make one. I've had this question asked several times before.
@@TheCreativeCollector thank you for sharing! I made a mistake and started mixing a lot of paints and got a nice tone, but I had to paint everything because my final coat was on the reddish side. But it actually turned out great with a redish under coat. And that would be awesome if you can make one one day.
thank you so much for this very instructive video . When you talk about sealing beetween two phases , you talk about satin varnish ? Many thanks again for your sharing. It s a real treasure for beginner like me :)
I'll have to go back and look but if you're referring to the skin tone, it's basically a light tone from Vallejo mixed with a dab of rose and dab of light brown and then I add some off white to lighten it up a bit. It takes a little experimenting with it.
I've just come across this tutorial and it is going to be a great help! Thank you so much for taking the time to post such a thorough and informative video. Really appreciate it. Subscribed :)

Totally worth watching! Thanks again for doing all of these for all of us that can't afford a Slideshow and want to learn to do it ourselves!!

Thanks. I can do this. I've watched others that were overwhelming.
You can do this! Don't ever give up!
Thank's for the video it help me a lot I am back on it after 30 years thank you Michel Harvey 👍👍🤯
Great to hear!
I need to work on this much more. Thank you for sharing your time and work.
The way you done the eyes was great as I,ve not done eyes yet,maybe at Christmas I,ll get a printer and I,ll be in touch
Nice work, clearly explained and broken down for that booger - boo that is face painting. I learned a lot that I will definitely be using on the next figure I tackle. Thanks!

Awesome and really detailed. Great work! I would like also if there is a way to show the same with brush technique. 😊
Very helpful. I'm starting to paint my very first statue hopefully next weekend.
I follow your video on how to do eyes but I’m still failing. What am I doing wrong. Your prints all come out awesome. Wish I could do that.
Eyes take a lot of practice and patience. Make sure you have a fine tip brush, some magnifying glasses, perhaps a micron pen and just take a head that you're not using and practice. Try it once, then primer over it and do it again and again.
@@TheCreativeCollector what kind of primer
I use Krylon Color Maxx primer

Very well done. Looks really realistic.
Do you perhaps paint miniature figures. I have some lead figures that I'm busy with between marvel and DC characters.
Would like too see how you paint some of them. Like 1:21 scale.
what is the type of sealer you use i normally go with this matt/flat rattle can from minwax and not really fond of so im looking for something better
Check out Krylon Color Maxx flat. It's the best I've used
Retaking those long forgotten skills, thanks for all your videos! you have amazing tips and skills!
Nice work! If i'm right, the color from the beggining of the video is a Vallejo Game Color 72.099 (Cadmium Skin). Maybe, this info would be helpfull for those who will try to repeat this tutorial.
You are correct
I use that salmon rose -Model Color on the lips and i got a printer like your first one you had
Very helpful, thank you! I will say, her eyeshadow needed a hair more blending out, and add a touch more highlight to her cupids bow, you'll have a much more polished look.
The stippling for her skin tone was awesome!
do you have a video of wicked 3d hawkeye being painted thanks
Not yet but I have that one on deck to do.
Really, really helpful. Thank you
Je suis français et j ai découvert ta chaîne UA-cam. Et merci pour ton travail et les tutos c est un plaisir de les regarder. J ai hâte de découvrir ton travail. Tu es inspirant !! Merci
Thank you very much!
Couple of questions: What primer do you use? What do you use for sealer?
I use Krylon Color Maxx both for primer and flat clear coat.
Very nice work!
Do you have a list of the colours, like the made up ones? Or a close version? Gonna try this I think
I don't. When I mix up skin tones I just try and combine colors to get the exact tone I'm looking for.
Great advice, thanks
Your method seems best!
Great tips in this video mate.
Do you ever print multiples of your models and do alternate paint jobs? So a realistic version and maybe like a comic version?
Not yet, but I do have something in the works when it comes to 2D or comic style.
Great video dude. Did you by any chance do a video on the rest of this model?
Unfortunately not
Very easy to understand, thank you!
Very gifted artist. I learned so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very informative thank you! Lots of stuff I did not know and it turned out great! Keep up the awesome content! Is that the Wicked3D Mephisto behind you? Looks awesome.
Yes it is. I made a video fir that one as well

Just found your channel as I'm a 64 yr fella who just got into modeling 3 yrs ago, the last time I modeled I was 10. My question, can you PVA glue the resin base and say Flock it?
I'm sure you can. The good thing about these models is tge possibilities are endless.
I have a question what did you actually use on the lips to colour them
I noticed you had some kind of pallet thing ? and for the shine as well was that just varnish or something fantastic work as always your videos constantly help us thank you and have an awesome weekend
Yes i used a varnish. I used just red for the lips
@ thank you sorry I rewatched again and realised can’t wait to see your next lot of stuff so cool 😎
Excellent info, some of the best I've seen!
Thanks. Glad it helped!
And just for another comment to help the channel.....this turned out SO great!
Thanks my friend! Much appreciated.
Do you not add light reflection to your eyes? I also made up large batches of light and dark skin tone. Makes life so much easier.
No I don't. Reason is because if you put a little white dot and then gloss it, you lose the true color of the eye and it looks unnatural. So I let the gloss reflect it from the natural light.
Great video as always! Have you done a video about your favorite brushes? Favorite for eye work, or large coverage, things like that?
Not yet! Sounds like I need to film something on it. Great idea!
Great airbrush figure painting,video........😊
Thank you so much 😀
A wonderful video and thanks for showing how you do realistic skin tones! (Ordered one of those headlight glasses via your A-link that could be a vision saver for me!) 🤓Great channel. 👍
So I'm working on a 1/12 figure and my question is what size of brush could work better to paint eyes and lips 3-0 or 5-0 size brushes? Thanks.
I use a 10-0
Thanks my man
Thank's for your super tip IAm standing back on to Modeling and it change a lot kip Up the good work Michel Harvey from Montréal 😊
Hey do u have any helpful advice on keeping paintbrushes clean and pointy? Lol I use the same ones as you but they start to frail out fast.
I have the same issue after a while. I clean them and dry them with the bristles hanging down.
@@TheCreativeCollector whoa that kinda blows my mind cause I do the upside down in a cup. Do u have like wall mounts for em? Probably worth doing for the fine detail ones. It’s the worst when I go do an eyeball and one stray bristle does some random off centered dot haha

Wonderful!
Hi Great as aslways whats is the gloss you ise for the eyes and lips?
Thanks. It's just a clear gloss from Vallejo
Thanks for sharing, very useful info

Thx u so much for this video!! you help me a lot! only one question, what do you use for sealing? Thx again!

What do you use for the gloss on the eyes? I want to get that wet look that real eyes have.
I use Vallejo gloss medium.
thank you so much for this very instructive video . When you talk about sealing beetween two phases , you talk about satin varnish ? Many thanks again for your sharing. It s a real treasure for beginner like me :)
I use a flat varnish mostly because if you use a satin or gloss you can dull it out when you add more paint or your paint will look too shiny.
Great video as always! Congrats! By the way... What are you using to seal her?
Thank you! I use a rattle can, Krylon Color Maxx clear flat.
What did you mean by gloss & seal at the end?
Clear coating the model
Hope you dont mind me asking, what's in the mixture you made that you show at about 1:32 of your video?
I'll have to go back and look but if you're referring to the skin tone, it's basically a light tone from Vallejo mixed with a dab of rose and dab of light brown and then I add some off white to lighten it up a bit. It takes a little experimenting with it.
@@TheCreativeCollector thanks for replying bud. I'll have to see if I can mix up something like that for myself. Loving your videos by the way.
Thanks for the video... whats the first paint you use... you did not mention which one. Thanks again
I believe it was a mix of my own.
@@TheCreativeCollectorwhich is what
Usually it's a base skintone, highlight skintone, and brown rose from Vallejo.
@@TheCreativeCollector I don't know anything about paint
Can I get a link to the glasses?
There is a link in the description.
nice painting tip video all adds up
Thanks 👍
Great guide, thanks!
great tips!
How can I find the pink color you use to base the model?
It's just a basic pink from Vallejo with a dab of red mixed in. Pretty simple
@@TheCreativeCollector do you have a reference code for the basic pink?
What PSI are you spraying at for faces and in general?
Around 25-35psi
Thanks for the video 😁👍

Question: I am new in miniature 3D painting so what is sealing and bow to fo it??
Sealing is applying a clear coat over the finished painted model so the paint is protected and doesn't wear off.
@@TheCreativeCollector Thanks but can you please tell that clear coat of which product ??
@smilewithsupriti306 I use Krylon Color Maxx flat
@@TheCreativeCollector Thank you so much for your quick response ❣️ Love all your videos ❤️
Great step by step
Thank you! Hope it helps!
How long do u wait between layers before adding more
I just wait till it's dry usually.
This is great.
How do you "seal" the paint between coats?
I use a clear coat such as Krylon Color Maxx flat.
awesome job
thanks for another great video, i cant wait to apply it to my own painting :) What sealer do you use?
Thank you! I use Krylon Color Maxx. They have a flat, satin and gloss. I'm probably going to make a video soon about sealing models.
@@TheCreativeCollector that would be great, I have yet to find a good video going over that process
Thanks for the vid. Great tips!
Thank you!
Do you prime the statue first and then paint
Yessir!
Thanks really helpful
Glad to hear!
where can i get models like this where i can print them then paint them?
All kinds of patreons. These are mainly from Wicked3d
