- In this Hobby Cheating Tutorial, I take you through Stippling. This is an incredibly simple, albeit time consuming technique that can add wonderful textures, especially on larger scale miniatures. Hope you enjoy!

Wool is an amazing material when not refined, the thread, even when dyed, retains the dark and light mottling of the animal. An old trick I used to get this texture was masking and superfine toothbrush splatter. Dip the toothbrush (stiffer the better) into the paint and then flick it against paper or cardboard until the splatter becomes a fine mist, then apply to the unmasked areas with dark and light colors. Then glaze in the shadows, color, etc.
That sounds like an awesome trick, I will have to give that a try sometime. :)
more dots more dots more dots .... MINUS 50 DKP!!! :] As always i love to see u paint!
Yep, I mean that was in my head this whole video of course. :)
When I first started watching the first color being applied it was difficult to see the advantage until the totality of the painting was done. In the still photo I can see how close to a wool like material it comes and it looks very good. It adds an authenticity to the material that blending doesn't do alone . Thanks for sharing this .
Yes, it's a really tough technique to show on a video, as it's tiny (TINY) dots, done hundreds of times in just slightly varying colors. The end effect when it all comes together is wonderful, but whew, it's a time investment. :)
Very comprehensive, as always. Thank you.
thank you, happy to help as always. :)
Makes total sense, thank you. I will try this on some old leather cloaks. Vince, do you think washing with, say sepia on top of highlighted stippling, could help in building up to a nice old leather look? I realize it would probably take a bunch of layers
I absolutely do. If you watch my video on distressed leather, I do almost exactly that.
Great job explaining the theory behind the application.
Thank you, happy to help as always.
Great tutorial as always, my friend! This seems like an interesting technique!

Thank you sir, happy to help as always. :)
Good video as usual and I like the idea but, I wish I could see it. It does seem like...an interesting technique. Thanks for sharing...
I know, this one was a real challenge, the dots are micro small and I just couldn't really capture them well, though I was hoping that a good explanation and seeing me do it would still give the overall impression on how to do it, but this was a tough one.
I've liked my results when testing this on metallics. Gives a nice "used but not abused" look.
Yep, you really can get some awesome effects depending on the material. Gladto help as always. :)
Sweet! Looks great!
Thanks, I hope it was helpful, even though it was a little tough to see. :)
Awesome video as usual! You are a machine with content creation, I’m am always in awe of your dedication.
Are the warhammer weekly coffee mugs for sale? I see it in your videos from time to time and I feel like I need one in my life haha
There will be more on that very soon. Yes, we will have them for sale.
Very nice work, some people paint Warhammer minis using this technique and they look impressive.
Yep, Gareth Nichols uses this a lot on cloaks and it looks great.
Really enjoyed the video. Can this also be done with Metallic paints? To show the ware and tare texture!
You sure can. :)
Hey Vince, thanks for the stippling vid! I know the video didn’t show up very well, but the explanation was dead on.
When is your next Live Hobby Cheating? Those are incredible sources of information. Any chance you could move all of those live ones to one playlist? I have done the ones I can find but might have missed a few.
It should be next Saturday. It's a good idea, I actually want to shuffle the playlists some and make some "courses' as there is several things that could be broken out into groups that might be more helpful to follow.
Vince Venturella Ive been working my way from the top of the list to the bottom, guess I better hurry up with that then !
Hi Vince
I’m working with the liquid gold, doing ok with it but now that I have a base of old gold down I’m wondering how to deepen the shadows, or more specifically, what to use or when to use a product that will darken the shadows but won’t rust the colour. Also can I seal it with a varnish before continuing that won’t cause it to rust
Thanks for your time and content.
So I haven't seen anything I use cause rust in any way, even after years. My general advice would be something like Scale 75 Inktensity chesnut, or some form of darker brown ink. It has a transparency and gloss that will allow the shine through but adds wonderful color tones.
Can this technique be used for skin blending? Or are other methods more preferable? Great video, as always.
Sure, this is the sort of thing Kirill and Dave Colwell do, but of course, there is no one right way, as always. It's about your way.
Hey vince loved the video! my question: What do we do when the miniature is pretty small? ( Lotr for example) . Do we make like 2-3 very small dots ? I find that whenever i try to stipple a leather , i overdo it . Thanks again
Basically, you just need a very sharp brush and lots of patience and very, very small dots, If you look at Gareth Nichols work on LOTR figures, you will see this technique in play.
@@VinceVenturella thanks a ton for the reply!
yay... YT recommend do it job for once, i plan to ask did you do any tutorial about this technique after see it on Last Calvary video , and now YT recommend this video to me
Awesome, glad YT is coming through. :) (Also, they are all in a playlist if you need to ever find anything).
Your pallet has a lot of red! Or is that Tom's blood because you finally snapped?
LOL Micky!
Yeah, the HBA red got a little over liquefied on the palette. Tom is still safe...for now.
At your level, does this happen sometimes? You mess up freehand and have to re-do the base layer and then freehand?
Oh yes, sure, I don't know that there is ever a level where you stop making corrections. What changes is how often and the nature of the correction. So know, what often happens is I am making small corrections, changing a small area and just repainting a bent line or a shape or something like that rather than the whole thing, but I do freehand on nearly everything I paint, so after a few thousand minis, you build up a little more experience with it.:)
I would say being willing to correct is actually the great secret to freehand at a high level, because you are always going to need to correct and shape it with the color around it.
wouldn't it be easier to use some sort of sponge to achieve the same result? or is it too messy of a tool?
The sponge isn't accurate enough unfortunately for this particular application. You can certainly do light weathering stippling with a sponge (in fact, that can be a good way to do it), but it will be often be the case that you have to get in there in a much more controlled fashion across the color spectrum.
would it be possible to get a close up of that area on your instagram? thanks for doing these videos. they have been extremely helpful as i'm just starting out.
That's a great idea, I will post it up this weekend.
Very cool. Can I use this on a space marine with robes
You can, but keep in mind scale. By that, I mean that with this bust being the size and scale it is, the stippling made the texture appear more subtle and, some would say, "realistic" whereas on something the size of your average Space Marine miniature (Primaris or otherwise) the technique will produce something that's a lot more exaggerated and the cloth with therefore look a lot rougher and coarser; this is just the nature of applying the technique on things of different scales.
I agree with TheRunesmythe, but yes, if you look at Gareth Nichols work on Instagram, he uses this on cloaks quite frequently and keeps the dots micro small and at the highlights, it produces a wonderful effect on the space marine cloaks.
Thanks guys
Maybe a Good idea for my centurion bust...for the leather parts...or do you have a better idea?
It depends on how weathered you want it to look. If you're going for something that's a lot more weathered and worn, I would actually recommend his tutorial on how to paint distressed leather; the finished look is really quite amazing.
I agree,it just dependson what you are wanting from you leather. you can even combine the Distressed leather with a little bit of this in spots to create some variation. Stippling is generally a great technique as a component of leather, wool, old metal, lots of stuff. :)
Dear Vince,
What do you use for the flow aid?
Generally I like Warcolours Flow Improver, but you can pick up liquitex flow improver from your local craft store, it's great and will last forever.
@@VinceVenturella I have Vallejo Airbrush Flow Improver. Can that be used? Or would the Vallejo Thinner Medium be better?
@@d.usagi.75x51 Yep, that would work fine.
Where did the figure come from?
I think I remember seeing it as one of Ouroboros miniatures Kickstarters after they did the cyborgs.
I got mine from Dallas Madill and cannot remember the company name. Great bust...
Yes, its Noriko from AMPSA. I did a product review on it and if you look at that video, I have the link to the store to buy it. :)
Anyone have any idea what this model is?
It was a limited edition model from AMPCA, unfortunately, it's no loner available.
@@VinceVenturella ah, Thanks for the heads up :) You're awesome!
