Step 1 : objects far away are small. Step 2: objects close by are big . Step 3 : a perfect replica of a masterpiece 😁😁😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yesterday, I was proud to be able to paint parallel lines over a curved surface while respecting shadows and blends. It's not much, but it looked nice.
Then Lucas comes along and earns his cookie with yet another grand masterpiece
Yes! More cookies for Lucas! I literally don’t even paint anything and this is one of my favorite channels on you tube! Thanks for getting me through my hard thirty minutes of cardio without noticing!
Try it mate, painting is awesome!
What kind of cardio?
Same for me. Well, without the cardio.😂
Some of those freehands, like the Knight's banner, are absolutely bonkers.
As I studied illustration for 3 years and worked as a concept artist in the games industry for over 10 years, I know this video is not meant for a person like me, but you guys did a perfect job opening people up for this topic and you gave the right tools everyone needs to overcome the fear of trying freehands themselves.
Great perfect video!
As someone who will free hand two banners this video is much appreciated. Thank you.
It's very interesting to see, how very different techniques can be. I love doing freehands, but i always start with rough shapes and slowly define them into what ever i want. And Lukas works almost completely the opposite way. Really fascinating to watch someone else do freehands in a completely different way to oneself.
The fastest I've ever seen one of your videos show up (26 seconds after upload).
With drawing your guides, highly recommend a soft and more rounded lead. In America, B is the soft range, 2B, 3B etc being softer lead. They draw a darker line with less pressure. So you're not having risk damaging anything to get the line and it also means it'll erase easier.
Thanks for the knowledge. I've watched pretty much every freehand tutorial, and this one is top tier for its depth and breadth. Lukas deserves all the cookies.
Another excellent video guys! Lucas provides some easy to follow instructions with great examples. Mustn’t forget the humorous interaction about Emil’s early freehand efforts, towards the end of the video. 😂😂😂
The first freehand you showed in your intro was really good, because it was hard to tell what was actually freehanded.
Can I freehand? Nope. Did I watch the video anyway? Yep. I can’t even paint Space Marine eyes correctly😂there’s no hope
Great video as always guys, thanks! I wanted to contribute with a tip which makes freehands easy which is very beginner friendly that you did not mention in the video. Use transfer/trace paper or just put a graphite on the back of the motive that you want to transfer, and then transfer it to the banner by tracing with a pencil on the other side. It works superwell! you need to print the motive in the size that you want, after doing that, just put graphite on the back side of it, just rub it all over, then transfer it to a grey/white banner.
Awesome, I’ve been after a guide on exactly this! Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for leaving the credits to Genzoman!!! He is a chilean artist!
The best freehand I have ever seen bar none
Check out Karol Rudyks art, it is truly amazing.
Got to see this live last weekend! Thank you for being awesome.
“atmospheric perspective” is the term 👍. Awesome vid!
Absolutely Amazing
All I have to do to be humbled about my painting skills is look up a single painting tutorial on CZcams.
Side note fan flipping tastic job Lucas! The art you create is beyond any description.
Now that was an amazing tutorial. Very inspirational- now need to get practicing
Muuuuuuuch higher quality video than usual. Kudos to you guys
Loving this series
That's sick!! Well done!
Awesome video as always!
Outstanding 👊
Lucas you are brilliant. So so good.
Sick! Great Freehand!
woooooooooooo amazing squiddy!!!
That is amazing, I cant wait to try my first shoulderpad.
Great video!!!!!!! Great to see Lucas doing all that freehand, it came out looking real nice
Just wow!
I love all Squidmar Miniature videos👏👍🤙
Hawt dayummm that Emperor freehand is amazing!
You should do a video in how you overcome painting obstacles when you are left handed.
That is amazing - i think your just showing off now 😁
You deserve tones or cookies lukas, amazing job and amazing video guys 👏👏👏
damn... wow.. Nice job Lucas!
Great video guys. I suck at freehand, but this video makes me want to keep trying.
Can you guys do a video tutorial on eyes next? They are so tiny, it’s a struggle
We've got one
@@SquidmarMiniatures really? I’ll have to check that out. The eyes I’m doing at the moment are a bit smaller than GW models. I’m sure your vid will help.
I have never used grids in my life lol. I have always just drawn it as is and learnt that way. Even when I was a beginner many, may years ago. I have been drawing my entire life though at this point and I am 26. New to painting overall though
Lucas is doing a great bobblehead impression in this one :D
The Emps on the banner is impressive.
I left some cookies in Lukas’ message requests inbox ;) great video as ever. Think I’ll go paint some diamond patterns on my harlequin now. I’ve put this off for 3 months now xD
Hey guys! Just wanna mention that its called "atmospheric perspective", not light pollution when talking about art :)
Perhaps it would be a good idea to put stamps in the video for each of the chapters. Thanks for the great content!
Two guys are boasting with their new tattoos! :D
But in serious, thank you for this video! It's really cool and useful for everyone! Cheers!
Lukas, you’re awesome
26:55 50 years!? not only is he the GOAT, but he’s also got amazing skin for his age
Woo! I'm excited for this! Maybe I can freehand a Little Smiley face on my Emperor Children. Haha
Superbly explained, thank you Lucas !! ~~ I have a question about the the wet palette, what's better, tap water or Deionized water ?
I wish I had a quarter of your talent
+1 for a Cookie Monster/Mona Lisa freehand on a warhammer mini somehow somewhere!!
An awesome video with some really great tips. Now if only you could teach my hands not to shake 😅
The headline at 10:10 says "we are to begin" ;)
I wonder how's the mordheim board is going
To me feels very strange the way that Lukas has of painting the main figure: Instead of doing the simpler shapes all at the same time, and then add increasing level of detail to all of it until everything is completely done he focuses in specific parts until they are fully completed, and then move to the next part.
I have heard painters and illustrators argue against that kind of approach, what is your opinion on it?
The general shading bit is gold!
Thanks a lot :)
The biggest problem with working that way is keeping everything proportional and in perspective.
Lukas is a beast!
You can see he blocked out some major parts in dark brown first and then worked on each part. I doubt there is a "right" answer here, it's up to the individual and their results.
@@cbjewelz yes, I saw it. But still I expected the sketch to progress at the same pace in every part of it.
I saw that the approach of Lukas is similar to what many miniature paintings do with their minis: they focus in an area or color and keep working on it until it is done before moving on to other areas. I wonder if that is the reason why he approaches the sketch in a similar way
Lucas is the man
Tbh. When it comes to freehanding. Especially when it comes to armored vehicles, personal armor and the like. Keep in mind that its the joe that drives that tank that painted it. Which means it can be butt ugly. My first freehands were just numbers and the names for tanks. nearly every tank has a name in small letters on it. Especially if you are shit at drawing like me it will take some practice and time. Lots of time.
Ima gonna say it again. Crooked handpainted numbers on a tank. Makes it come alive. Imo more so than the current clownpainting standards.
what the fook, Lukas is like Michael Angelo or something, I'm amazed ;O
dig it
First lesson: Draw two sticks to form a cross.
Second leason: Paint the Emperor of mankind.
(Seriously thought, a very insightful video)
Where did you guys got that Vallejo paint stands?
Super easy, berely an inconvenience ... F*ck man, what a great work!
Old mate Leonardo put 19 layers of glaze on some sections of the Mona Lisa.
The one thing I really wanna know is if it's actually allowed in the Imperium to show a picture of the Emperor himself or put him on a banner.
Yeah not everyone can do this, your a legit artist
That outro! LOL
Have you painted the mirrored background of the banner?
👍
Love you guys, but as a classic photographer - Depth of Field, not FOCUS (it's something completely different). I know, I'm a pain in the ass.

When your Boss enters the room
Wish I had this last week when I was attempting to freehand a cool insignia for one of my minis, ended up looking more like a badger turd than anything else
Perfect time to try again
@@nukem8128 hell yeah, there’s a good chance of it actually looking decent now after watching this!
Step 1, get good paints and a wet pallet, step 2, spend thousands of hours practicing and be an amazingly naturally talented artist. Easy.
Quality takes work

I came to better my freehanding, not be attacked from a lack-of-cookie rage!
Amazing video, BUT that right foot is kinda weird. The foot anatomically could not be farther in the foreground than the knee. Am I missing something? :-)
Doing these chapters, some timestamps would be highly appreciated 😃
I'm always happy to see Daniel Radcliffe and Bradley Cooper working together.
When are you gonna redo the rogue trader space Ork army videos😢
Why aren't you guys selling the beautiful Sanguinius as an STL? I would love to have that model with my Blood Angels 🤤🤤
We don't own any of the parts used in the kit, so unfortunately we're not allowed
wonder how many hours Lucas spent on that banner.
18:36
Oh these sweet mark rober tunes in the background. Put a glitter b*** in there and call it a day. 😂🎉

Ultimate Guide - Goes from a simple cross to a replica of Genzoman's Emperor.
Wait, where's the emperor's eye brose?
Cheaters tip: I use a mechanical pencil to do fine lines on armor lines. Fast easy nonmetallic effects.
Very good worka?!!?
Does Lucas fly fish? I feel like he fly fishes. If he does cool.
I got two freehands and nothing to grip
Is this a Hobbit hole on your hand Lucas?
As an alcoholic, I'm really good at freehand lightning bolts. That's about it. Stay off the hooch kids!
The real travesty is 65 bucks for four small paint brushes x.x
Your banner is beautiful. As a beginning freehander your banner doesn't help me at all it intimidates me from even trying. How about some much easier to chew chapter badges and numbers for the shoulder pads or even ork chex ? something less detailed would be easier to try. thank you for the entertaining content.
Yes do that but hardly worth them showing that. They do it all the time in other videos and those involve almost none of the nuances of free hand painting they talk about. Icons/badges are more about practicing control and precision than understanding perspective and light.
Not knocking you guys at all, but this is very much 'now draw the rest of the horse' haha
I assume you don't want to touch the Warhammer controversy currently going on, but if you are, what is the take? 🤔
And if you can’t freehand, there’s always transfers 😅😅
I think Henry Cavill would like this freehand of himself. 😅
Great idea for a video and helpful tips. Only downside is that if it's for beginners don't go showing the best painted banner in the world 😢
Don't look at what he did for the display piece, listen to the information given :)
I dunno... I liked seeing the GOAT banner. Gives me something to work towards.
what if i can't even draw? where does someone like me start?
