  • Value sketching is very helpful miniature painting technique, that is useful as a guide for your layers. In this tutorial, you will learn how to apply it when painting your minis!
    This is also very similar approach that I am using for my display pieces - like my red Sister of Battle. If you want to level up your warhammer minis as well, definitely give it a go!
    Value sketching approach using a paint brush is the same approach that @FlameonMiniatures uses, shoutout to him for his awesome work!

    I love that method of shining a light and taking pictures to see where the highlights should be on a mini. I feel like the hardest part of highlighting (as a novice) is making sure the light source consistently comes from the same direction and knowing where to place the highlights. I'm excited to try that out

    Clear explanation, clearly shown being used, great vid and beautiful paintjob too, hugely underrated channel.
    I've been using an airbrushed (too humid in UK to rattlecan most winter days) non-matt undercoat for a while - dries a bit satin, I'm not meaning glossy.. Then I've a shelf at the top of my home made spraybooth, anglepoise for main light source and take pics of the reflections from whatever angles I choose before the undercoat is even dry.. Allows me to try out different lighting angles and even ambient colour lights using my trusty coloured cellophane collection and cheap led booklights hooded with tape and bits of paper. Enough reflection for my camera to catch and a paintjob composed before I even wet a brush.
    Trying colours out before you paint, and during if you get stuck, helps you seem like a better painter. Even with a model half done, that isn't going as you'd hoped (ever had that happen?) ;0) once you get the fake ambient light back on it can show you where you can fix it with glazing on a filter or maybe two in opposition.
    My skills with a brush are limited (but growing slowly) this is an upgrade in planning (and correcting) that anyone can do though.

    That is the way it goes! You can get good results in a reasonable time by using inks, tmm colors, wet blending etc . But top results are achieved with glazes and this tecnique needs time, the more time you use, the bester it is at the end.

    Hi Zumikito, I am new to the hobby and I've been following the classical painting sequence: priming, base coat, wash, layering, highlight and details. I see your approach is a bit different, may you explain or point to me why is it so ? Your models look great and I like the style. I wish to learn more from you. Thank you.

    • @Zumikito
      @Zumikito  Před 2 lety +1

      Hi! The approach you are describing is a good starting point - especially if you are a wargamer and you are looking for a consistency across your army. I have used it in the past as well! As you paint more, you will soon find out that you can do everything without a wash - so I prime, basecoat (dark) and start building lighter layers on top of it. Edge highlights are placed as well and if I need a separation of details, I blackline them with watered down dark color (usually black or dark brown). So for the most part it's the same story told differently

    Interesting. This video may have connected some important dots. I’m a new painter, when I’ve been glazing to blending two colors, I’ve been doing a mix of those two colors. If I’m understanding video correctly, I should have been using the only the lighter color for the glaze.
    Am I understanding correctly?

    • @Zumikito
      @Zumikito  Před 2 lety +3

      Yes or the darker one into the lighter one(it's up to you and depends on the material). If you use a midtone over the point where 2 layers meet, you stain both sides unequally, so glazing just one side into the other is better.
