I am painting miniatures for warhammer 40k, age of sigmar, marvel crisis protocol, D&D and much more! Whether it is superhero miniatures, heroic characters or space marines, I will paint them! If you are looking for some sweet miniature painting tutorials or warhammer hobby content in general, this is the right channel for you! - Jak na to + styl
You might deserve 1 million bucks cause this is the most concise and to the point "how to paint amazingly" thing I've seen. This surprises me as much as discovering those grimdark inks. I'd've saved so many years of time had I just had this from day 1. Thank you very much.
Dude, love your videos! Straight to the point approach without long unnecessary intros and repeating yourself
Stipple-glazing is my main techinique. I'm very happy to see you explain those technique so throughly.
Thank you, people should check out your stuff on IG to witness it's power 👌
I was wondering who painted that absolutely insane Helbrecht I saw the other day! Awesome work. I hope to see it at Adepticon. :)
@@Zumikito I’m really honored. I’m happily offer the my photos for examples of techniques
Brilliant! You consistently make the BEST painting technique videos. They're fun, educational and instructional. I like you you sneak in those little subliminal message -I love edging too lmao
Very necessary video, it will help a lot of frustrated hobbyists me included. Another top advice from you that drastically improved my painting is the black lining. I was frustrated because no matter how long I painted, my mini was always a mess. Now i think that the perfect process to enjoy miniature painting is black primer, optional zenithal highlight, sketching the volumes, blending them with glazes, black lining, edge highlight, OSL and then fix messy edge highlights with glazes
True. Same here. Black lining give à "pop" to the visual and help to understand the mini.
@1:50 is perfection. That suble twitch. Chef's kiss editing.
Great video and thanks for showing how to get a better blend by an easy to follow step. Off to watch the other video for a third time, not many youtubers get me to rewatch their videos but you do so thanks for all the teaching.
My favourite painter on youtube!
Great tips.
Excellent tutorial. I found it very helpful. Thank you very much.
Just painted a miniature using this technique (and combining it with the shapes stuff in a previous video) and it ended up being the greatest thing I've ever painted. Thank you so much for this video!
I really needed this video..! This is the missing link in my progress. I can't wait to try it out. Thank you for making this video...!!!!
Thank you for making this video. ive been working on refining my color blends by doing some careful layering but i really just could not crack the code on the ridiculously fine blending i saw on competition pieces. This is going to help a LOT, especially because I'm trying to work up to a skill level that could win a local painting competition. Keep up the good work Zumikito!
I was the same way! Finally giving in and getting an airbrush was THE game changer. I was able to blend somewhat well with different techniques, but glazing with an airbrush brings layers together ... just... Well like nothing else!
That picture of black primer method works REALLY well for figuring out where to use your white tone for slap chopping
This technique seems simple and the logic behind it makes sense, so as always I will try it, fail miserably and go back to drybrushing and washes...
Great video , the technique has work for a while for me since your first stippling video anyways thanx for the video
This is the best guide to Stipple glazing on youtube. Im also Surprised there isnt that many videos other than yours explaining this technique which was used so heavily in Golden Demon
Awesome video, as always
Watched it in record time
Lets gooo Warhammer Santa uploaded 🔥🔥
Great advice!!
Cool as always. 👍
Awesome vid, thanks
WARNING: This is a long comment. And it doesn’t really cover anything about this video really. It’s just me kinda opening up but also me thanking this channel! And kinda giving the reason why it means so much to me! So if you don’t like longer comments and/or you don’t really want to hear my story or anything that doesn’t have to do with the video’s topic then you should skip this one!!!
I really love watching your videos! Most of the time I learn at least something new…. or at least a better way to do something that I thought I was doing right but it took forever to do! Some things you show I do 100% step by step the way you do it (not always the same colors… but “what” you’re doing) and and a very few times I just do it a different way (I wouldn’t say my way is better or worse…. but I either tried it the way you did and I just don’t like my end results even though yours looks way better or I just found a way that just somehow works perfectly for me and the end results are better that way then when I try it another way) but most of the time I try to throw in what I just learned from you and add it to whatever I’m working on!!! I won’t go too deep into it (for many reasons) but I know to some or most other people this is just a hobby or just a really fun thing they can do with friends and family….. but this “hobby” means so much more to me than that! I’ve always been a artist but never really got into painting or even adding anything over a drop of color into my drawings before. But I was at the end of my “rope” and I was in a very bad place for longer than I would like to admit to strangers. But if that wasn’t enough, my whole world was also falling apart because I finally lost control over a lifelong addiction because of the chronic pain I was born with! I literally had nothing left to fight for. And somehow I randomly found the first miniature I’ve ever seen in my life! It was a Darth Vader miniature from Star Wars Legion! I was so interested in it (but also, at that point I was and still am a huge Star Wars nerd!!! I don’t love everything that comes out for SW but I love the whole universe and everything surrounding SW as a whole) that I looked more into what I just found by accident. And I was hooked before I ever bought a single thing. I had a bunch of extra money (at that time) that I jumped in deep, real quick. But the first thing I bought was the starter for SWL and I fell in love with it even more. I actually had something to look forward to each day…. which I get that from other people’s point of view that might sound silly or maybe even ridiculous….. But to me, it was all I had to make me even slightly want to stick around! At first I wasn’t good at all and somedays that would definitely get me down. But I fought through all of that and I became (which might be just mine and some others that have no artistic ability’s opinions but I became) a really good painter!!! And your channel and s few others are the reasons behind it all! So even though you don’t know me and you didn’t make these videos for me directly I truly thank you for all you have done and all of your hard work to make all of this!!! You helped me find a reason to keep going at least this long!!!
Love your 5 minute videos 😁
Edit: and your beard, it’s glorious
A amazing video and a great job.
OOOOKAY that I love rimming is gonna be the first yotuber merch I buy.
5:24 I LOST
Great video. I only understood the power & smoothness of stippling by seeing Andy Wardle's Glutos up close and personal. Not many people will have the opportunity to have classes with him and hence not see high level quality miniatures in the flesh (without layers of glass between them).
You've done a gret job to explain the technique and why it can look great.
I should try this, but I dont have years to devote to painting an army, so I'll do stippling with a drybrush. Lol
So to paint like a pro you need a mental illness and an unemployment check? Then I guess I just need to wear one of your shirts to work on Monday and I'm set. Thanks, Zumikito!
yes
Its spelt cheque not check ffs
@@isisnmagic1812 Sorry about that princess!
@@isisnmagic1812 depends on where you are, Brits use cheque and Americans use check. Just another gray vs. grey type thing
@@isisnmagic1812 It's also spelled "It isn't magic" ... :)
Another great, and slow method, for this is to stipple in greyscale and then apply a wash of your colour over top. The results can be fantastic.
Isn't the second method just "feathering" as introduced by Mike McVey in 1993?
i enjoy the speech u use. Its not mouthwashed like from so many youtubers. Hold the Hammer high ! (And i mean THE HAMMER)
3:01- Lmao That’s great!!! And I would probably buy it but I don’t like to wear pullovers! Major of my hoodies I own are either zippers or were given to me as gifts and I may have worn it a few times around the person or persons that got it for me!!! I know it’s “kinda” harder to get a picture perfectly on a zipper hoodie…. Especially when the zipper cuts through the picture! But it’s not like it’s impossible and some of my favorite hoodies of all time had no problem doing it! When I get a bit more money I do want to check out your shop!!! See what you got!?! But also when it comes to the channels I follow for a bit and really like I always think of new ideas for videos they could do, something that might be cool for them to cover (which sometimes is in my own self interest. But most of the time I have nothing really invested in it but it’s still a great idea nonetheless) and/or new merch for them to make and probably make a good profit off of (depending on what they have to deal with to make this stuff)!!! But I do have a few ideas for merch for you! But I want to know you actually see it!?! So I won’t say anything until you ask?!? And if there is a way better way to talk to you about this stuff then that information would be helpful also?!? Thanks
Hey! Could you make a video where you show the difference between Edge Highlighting with just one color and edge highlighting with multiple colors? I would be very interested to see if there is a noticeable difference
You are the best
Could you possibly breakdown how you got the turquoise colour and highlights at 0:25 please?
"Pointillism" has been around for over a century in painting. Thanks Seurac!
This was fantastic! Ive actually done this before and rigid ol' me immediately said "Hey, ive never seen anyone do this so it must not be a valid technique." Lol so stupid! I have gotten better about thinking that way .
Wow, where do we find the painting process for the armor of the blue drukhari shown in the vidéo ?😊
I am sorry for the complete out of topic question. But, where can I get a DaVinci brush in Czechia?
Love the shirt but can I get it in a tank top?
Nice video! Which paints did you use for the gold shoulder pad?
rhinox hide (Citadel), british khaki (ak), japanese brown(ak), pale yellow (ak)
What purple paint is that?
Great Video ! What kind of brush did you use are those youre good Brushes or would they be killed by Stippling ?
If you are stipple glazing, it won't be that bad (if you apply a lot of pressure and use more paint, then sure), but they will wear down over time for sure. These are Artis Opus brushes :)
@@Zumikito Perfekt good to Know thank you very much 😊
Will this method absolutely destroy my synthetic brush?
Alright, next t-shirt has to be "I love riming (bases)" 😂
+1 Engagement!
thank u for the great tip!should I let small dots dry before I move on to another color?👀
Yes, but the less paint is present, the less it matters. It's not that easy to build up surface texture when you are mostly interrupting drying water, but if you have more paint there, it can be problem.
@@Zumikito thank u so much❤️❤️
I agree, no drying required most of the time. BUT be careful when doing it on vertical pieces as the paint might be dragged down by gravity, and you would create spots. Also you need to be careful while painting close pieces with gap, as the surface tension onf the water might cause them to collapse in the gap. For those specific cases you can let it dry for 2 minutes
@@jmcmoi57thanks alot❤️❤️
Does stipling work when I’m rimming?
😂
So, thin the paint, unload excess liquid from the brush, and then stab the mini. This kinda sounds like stippling with a dry brush only slower and with more steps. Am I wrong? You could do that with one of those really small dry brushes Byron sells, correct?
No, you still have to have some paint in the bristles and the consistency is way more watery over what would be used when drybrushingg. Doing it as per your description would build way more texture and be more imprecise if you would use dry brushes. However, feel free to try both and see which you like more
@@Zumikito Sorry, I was just being an asshole. Great video and great advice on how to do this! I actually did something like this on the last model I painted, but I used oil paint. I was trying to go with something that looked "impressionist". Needless to say, it did not turn out well. Thanks for the video!
How long do you think it took to get those results for your two examples?
About an hour for the fabric and on the shoulderpad it deepend if you also count the cointer reflection. The main gradient on the shoulderpad was about 25 mins or so
you should work at a mini university. I would attend your class ;))
This method is great for worn leather like old brown leather jackets.
Och no. My time got destroyed :D Ain't nobody got time fo' dat Senpai!
Btw I should really try it but I barely have time to paint with 1 toddler, an upcoming baby and with a few other hobbies as well :D
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT LONG SLEEVE?
It's in the description 😁
god damn I love rimming so much, best part of the hobbie
So kinda like 3D pointillism?
the hell is your wet pallete setup?
It's funny that a lot of elite painters scorn dry brushing for it's alleged textured or powdery finish, and now they're using stipple glazing which .... has a textured or powdery finish. But hey, at least it takes 300 times as long!
I actually really like the effect you're getting here though, I prefer a textured finish as it makes a mini look like a painting, not a nasty computer render.
If you drybrush like Byron, there is no powdery finish. I had the pleasure of a private session and now my drybrush game has totally changed.
the 'dying inside' look....
Basically it's pixel art and dithering, but in real life!
Not required or even recommended unless you are batshit enough for going for a Golden Demon.
The more I see these vids, the more I realise how valuable a skill dry brushing is to master. Don't get me wrong, the finish you got was second to none, but a good drybrush can achieve a really good result in a fraction of the time. I also find it much more enjoyable.
if Georges Seurat was a miniature painter
Getting the position of the highlights just from the black primed mini is okay if you're painting it in a very dark color, but it's problematic if you plan to apply that lighting pattern to a lighter or more saturated color.
Under the same lighting conditions , lighter surfaces have larger and more diffuse highlights.
It's an interesting idea, and thanks for covering it. However, I would buy a very cheap and nasty fine nylon brush. Anything over $1 and your overspending. I would then cut it down to be a stippling brush laying down multiple dots at a time as there is no way I would attempt to @@@@, ###, paint one dot at a time. I prefer nylon for its extremely thick bristles.
I usually use one of the cheap The Army Painter drybrushes for stippling. It serves me quite well, and they come in the box of their paints so they're often free.
Stippling is the model-painting equivalent of pointillism.
This technique is called Dithering
:o
I know it is the pro way but it makes the paint job look fuzzy for some reason. Fuzzy metal, fuzzy cloth, fuzzy skin, fuzzy, hair, fuzzy fuzziness.
This is true, I know exactly what you mean, but you can 100% erase the fuzziness if you give it enough time
That’s more realistic though. Perfect smooth colours like eavy metal style looks like a toy
@@joesheridan9451 Is it really that realistic though? Some of the golden demon winners kind of look like some professional illustration, a computer render, or 2D painting of a 3D surface. Some of the scale modeling pros can make a scene perfectly match a photographic scene in history. They can render material better especially with vehicles diorama. I guess fantasy scifi you have to paint in a fantasy style where you get penalized with weathering and adding grime considering the thin that they are painting is some form of a warrior who would have serious weathering from hundreds of years in battle. 1 week in the field, my uniform was dirty, dusty, and the vehicles around me were the same. Even officers start to appear dirty after 3 weeks. :P .
@@bacawaka2813 look at gold or copper wheb its burnished. It has that texture like what you are talking about. Im not saying all golden demon painting is realistic, there is a range of styles that appear there. Im just saying the GW way of painting is the least realistic. No texture, no light volumes, no battle damage etc
I hate how this looks personally it is hyper unrealistic and is just showing the shiny bots but those bots should never actually be that shiny!! I hate how modern propagating has gone this direction.
*propainting
First
So, you just do 100 times slower drybrush, because results are basically the same.
You should share your drybrush technique. It must be incredible.
Making simple things looks complicated doesn't make you professional lol
If this looks complicated to you, I suggest starting with beginner tutorials. Good luck :)
wasd
But I'm Laz~~~~Y
Are you rimming son?
I’m rimming soon
Please dont use this technique to paint an entire army.
Believe me, is a new kind of suffering.
WALTER
Fuck stipple glazing I need a tutorial for that armor! Or well atleast the paints so I can fail at recreating the armor🥲
