Your Crass Course to start Freehand Minipainting
Vložit

- The Crass Course in Freehand Minipainting is designed for beginners and experienced painters to get a strong foothold in freehanding designs onto miniatures. With my Freehand trinity, I guarantee you’ll get a strong foundation on how to Freehand whatever you want before you develop it further into your own painting methodology.
A FAQ and lots of guide tips are also included to make sure most of the common questions and concerns are tackled before you give it a try. Everything is explained as best as I could for the sub-twenty minute video. There’s also timeline markers for you to go back and review anything necessary.
That said, this is still a crash course. A lot of nuance with specific designs is missed, but those are advanced subjects better taught by the more professional painters. My goal was to make a video tutorial to get new miniature painters to try freehand with more confidence and less anxiety. If I help even one person get into Freehanding with this, it served its purpose.
This how to video applies to nearly any painter, whether it be for Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer 40k, Age of Sigmar, Conquest, Marvel Crisis Protocol, or any other tabletop game where a player wants to go the extra mile for their minis. With this solid footing, anyone can become a freehander!
Side note: Still rather annoyed that’s the best I could manage for the overhead setup without having several more lights. But real-estate space on the desk is limited, and comfort takes priority when doing any painting. I hope everything else in the video makes up for the rather hit or miss quality of the extreme zoom closeups.
Crass Course: Ever want to quickly learn a few things about a topic but don’t have the time to sit through long videos? Enter Crass Course. As the name implies, it’s a collection of short tutorial videos focusing on a certain topic, whether they are hobby related or video game simulation based construction. I’ll impart the knowledge I know on the topic in a somewhat roundabout way, kinda like you asked the cool guy at the store how to do something that he does frequently. As the name implies, it's complete with completely unnecessary humor and inserts to make a blend of informative and entertainment.

To anyone who says this doesn’t cover everything: *_It’s a Crash course._* Of course it doesn’t. It’s designed and condensed to get a newer painter started with solid footing.
Also, I hate my overhead setup but it’s as good as it’s going to get…
i think its a crass course 🤔😂 im sorry i had to
@@Josh-qm7fl More crash than crass compared to my others but this one needed that balance 😅

That's so metal out of context
I have been free handing for years and I would like to say I am fairly average at it. But this video, even though you label it as for beginners, still managed to give me some helpful tips that I have already tried incorporating into my painting. Great job and keep making videos like this, you have a rare gift of both brush skill as well as being able to present it in a funny and well-edited video.
Omfg thank-you!
Been holding my breath, elbows on the table, probably squeezing that brush like a UK economy. You've probably just added years onto my life.
And maybe years onto the brushes too! Happy painting!
Thank you very much for encouraging me to freehand. I just finished my first Breton symbol on a shield. Yes, it turned out a bit crooked, but I think it was pretty good for the first time. Thanks again, best regards.
dude you deserve way more subs and views, excellent videos, and also very entertaining with great humor. Love it and subscribed !
Best Guide for freehands on CZcams! Subscribed and shared! Really nice! 👍
Hey, thanks for this fantastic video, it's criminal that this video doesnt have more views, as a new-ish painter (Started maybe a year ago) this is exacly what i needed to dip my toes into freehand.
No doubt i will paint a kindergarden style abomination this weekend but i will be trying it out!
Best of luck, and thank you again
Best of luck in your freehand!
Thanks for the video. It's clear, entertaining and we get to see some seriously gorgeous paintjob.
Talented, concise and funny enough to make me chuckle out loud. Hope the algorithm picks you up soon. Quality stuff.
This is a good video. Thank you!
You, sir, are a true artist. This is fantastic advice for painting any sort of figures in any genre and in any scale.
Thanks so much! I figured keeping it methodical would allow everyone to adapt it to their own needs, and I'm glad it's now catching on because of that! I hope many more come to enjoy freehand too!
I wish more people would try freehand, especially landscapes. I started to throw colour matched mini Bob Ross works on my space marine shoulder pads to spice things up and it has quickly become my favourite part of each process. Great video! Subbed and searched you out on Instagram to sub there too. Keep it up!
Thanks! I agree - more should dive into Freehand so that's my hope this video helped at least a few get into it. Though it is my last video of this sort for the foreseeable future
I appreciate the self-awareness in how often you type 'crass' instead of 'crash' in this, because of your humorous attitude with the profanity. I see it as something that just adds to your excitement in how anyone can do this, and you really want people to know that, and feel encouraged.
I'm glad you appreciated the wordplay! I'm very much not a teacher - just a dude trying to share knowledge casually while keeping things entertaining!
0:48 holy shit. I didn't see it at first, and had to do a double take at what I was looking at.
Edit: 6:06 And I've learned something new. nice. Ty.
Funny, though that I've used this technique in making art on PC, but never in painting.
What an amazing video!
This video is currently at 517 views, I did not realize this until 18:40 seconds after my initial click. I dont paint, I have never painted, I never once thought to paint... DD Builds has somehow shown me the fun of painting through an incredibly talented video with perfect clips, Jokes, Pop up bird figure. I am shocked at the high show of talent in this video and I truly believe that DD Builds will build an audience.
Just Incredible.
Thanks for the very kind words! Still searching around for that variety following, but I'm in no rush 😄
Genuinely, you are one of the most inspiring and quickly informative content creators out there. Genuinely freehanding is one of those things that seemed insurmountably difficult, but seeing your progress is amazing. Thank you.
Thank you for not saying "just practise".. Learning the theory and techniques are so important and I think you did an amazing job breaking everything down. I'm feeling pumped up to try some freehand >:)
I hope you start knocking out design after design! You got this!
im new to mini painting and your so incredibly clear , by far the most beginner friendly
Glad I could help you out!
Used this video to do all the Freehand on a Eddie Munson miniature
Thanks for this
14 minutes in and already this is the best freehand tutorial I've seen. Well done :)
DD these graphics and the video itself are insane!! I’m only a few minutes in and I’m already feeling the need to BREAK OUT THE BRUSH!! *SHUT UP DOUBTFUL WILL IN MY HEAD!! DD SAYS I CAN DO IT!!*
You got this Will!
Awesome video. Really appreciate your effort ❤ Some great tips can’t wait to give them a try
This is excellent! :D
Crazy good video! Awesome!
Lol your first Knight looked better then all of mine with over 20 years of painting experience under my belt
Hilariously great information. Subscribed!
this video was sooooo useful. thank you
dude thanks ! love this video it was funny too
I thought you were done with the hobby videos. this is an unexpected treat :)
I promised this Freehand guide so I wanted to keep my word! Pretty much out of ammo now
Dd, u are honnestly one of the best mini channels, even tho u stopped
I found this comment amusing - thanks for the kind words
Great tutorial. I'll definitely use some ideas from here. Against shaky hands I'd add my experience: eating. Eat filling meal or something that brings my blood sugar level to a steady level and then start painting. Your empty stomach is your enemy.
Freehand benefits from a zen state for sure
Nice
how the heck does this video not have any more views? seriosly man. top notch editing und nice audio work. just a bit to much soundfx.
Thanks a bunch!
3 foot rule. Hold at arm's length.
I'm gonna need longer arms 🤣
Either works! haha So easy to forget the mini isn't shoved an inch from someone's face at all times!
You had me at shut the fuck up.
Precise brush control....Sharpies
Love this all of it gives me hope that I'd be able to actually free hand even with my shit art abilities and best joke for me was arguing on the internet is about as effective as a broken condom 🤣 again love this entire video thank you
crass course
The Video has far too few Views for the amount of Info
Did you mean CRASH course?
It's wordplay.
