I'll be honest, that's probably the most efficient and effective flesh tutorial I've seen. Thank you
Awesome, happy to help. :)
it always irks me to no end when I see the "Unlikes" on one of these tutorials. You give good advice, and the fruit of your experience freely, yet some one still has to naysay!
Ok thats my venting for the hour.
Thanks for the great tutorial. I feel like I learn something with everyone you release.
I appreciate that! Always glad to help. :)
Love the paintlist at the start (I believe at least it's new, don't remember seeing them in earlier videos).
I know you always teach that it does not have to be the exact same, but as a colorblind painter it's something that really helps.
Thank you, just a warning, you may not enjoy the next video then. ;)
@@VinceVenturella no worries, I enjoyed even the ones that don't cover topics for me. I bet it's color mixing XD
Excellent tutorial, Vince. Supplements the previous flesh vids very nicely 👍👍
Glad you liked it! :)
This is the best looking flesh I've seen, and I'm a literal cannibal.
I have been suffering from muscle island syndrome but wasn't sure how to cure it...now I know! Simple and effective. Thank you for helping me understand how to fix some of the problems I've been having!
Happy to help as always. :)
Nice vid helping to understand skintone effect. Back to the basics + advanced tips ,the best way. Thanks again for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
Still a great one, thanks Vince
I would have loved to see a shot of your palette for this, just to see the flesh progression. I still have a hard time choosing colors
It was a pretty messy palette, but I'll see what I can do in the future.
Thank you Vince. Your tutorials are excellent. They often clarify things I don't have the vocab to frame a question for. Don't answer, just keep doing hobby cheating vids. Thank you again.
Thank you, happy to help as always. :)
Vince, there is not enough turquoise or blue green on those figures!
You've got me on that one, I will correct for the future. :)
@@VinceVenturella You still "owe" me that very pale flesh video! or better yet turquoise flesh tones
never been very confident with skin tones, this has really helped!
Excellent, very happy to help. :)
Thanks Vince! Love your straightforward style of making videos! Just straight to the point.
Great tutorial as always, makes me want to get an army of barbarians or something with a lot of skin on it.
Thank you, that's exactly what I'm going for, glad it's enjoyable.
It's honestly criminal that this content isn't more widely viewed.
Always such a pleasure to watch, so informative and so concise.
Going to have to keep this video in mind for the Vyrkos and Vargskyr from Cursed City, since current project is to drop everything and get the box ready to play.
Any advice for translating this over to more undead flesh tones? I assume dropping the reds more into purple, especially at extremities?
Yep, if I was going to undead, I would add more grey to the flesh and more purples in the shadows.
@@VinceVenturella awesome, cheers. I guess that would take something like the Bugman's Glow that you used in the episodes example which is rich in reds from the equation and instead replace with something like Rakarth Flesh.
Finally got around to watching this, very enjoyable.
Awesome, glad it was helpful. :)
Sergio Calvo has a series on painting Untamed Beast in which he refers to like "dont make the muscles look like something that can be take off pieces by piece" (I think) He also connects the muscle groups here and there but his painting approach is fundamentally different as he is using quite thick layers of paint up until the last steps when he uses the airbrush for glazing. His "method" is quite non-glazing.
Yep, it's a good lession, you don't highlight toward the center of the muscle and make islands. :)
Very helpful Will definitely try this out tonight!
Great! Happy to help. :)
New sticker! 👁️ Great vid as always. Love the painting skin content
Glad you enjoy it! :)
Awesome, Vince!
Thank you, happy to help. :)
Thanks for this! With Soulblight coming out I need to start learning how to paint more flesh.
Happy to help!
Best content on CZcams as always
I appreciate that greatly. Thank you. :)
Looks awesome, per the norm! Just wondering about when you decide to use acrylics over oils and maybe what factors you take into consideration for that. Thanks for the great tutorials Vince, you’re the best!
I would love to say there is some great process, but honestly, it's just what I feel like on that day. Sometimes, I am in the mood for the mixed mediums, sometimes I am in the mood for traditional acrylics. The only thing that will generally push me straight into oils is BIG models with lots of flesh, that's a trip straight to oil town.
Good stuff sir. 👍 I Love using scalecolor sunset Purple in skintones
THose types of purple tones are wonderful for sure.
Now that I have been painting and really getting into the hobby seriously the whole world has changed. I don't look at things the same as I did before all this.
When I look at the world I see it like it has been painted. It is hard to explain. But everything I see I look at it as if I was going to paint it.
Reminds me of being young again and seeing stuff for the first time.
Does this experience last the rest of our lives? Or will this effect wear off as the years go by?
I never saw the world and everything in this way. I was spending a good 10 minutes starting at my fridge and other mundane objects with this whole new sense of wonderment.
Ha ha ha.
As long as you keep painting, it will never really go away. :)
You just hit my nerve: I was painting a sorceress with lots of skin tone and this really helps (although she does not have a lot of muscles). I totally forgot one could glaze with different colors in different areas like you did with the highlight colours and then the final magenta glaze. Thanks - great story, great shots! (and of course: great models)
Glad it was helpful! :)
I’ve only painting armoured minis but lately I’ve been into topless buff barbarians, perfect timing. Thanks 🙏
Awesome, always happy to help. :)
Another great video Vince!
I'm really liking how you're approaching these latest videos from a conceptual level and referring back to previous content if I want more detail about a specific concept (in this case 'how to glaze'). It keeps the video very focused and easier to follow as you narrate. I think this is the big payoff of all the work you've done to build up a library of Hobby Cheating videos.
Glad you're enjoying, I am absolutely going to try to integrate the past videos and lessons together as we continue to build the library. :)
Love the vitae. What a glorious beast!
Thank you sir, very much appreciated. :)
You make it look so easy! I know you have done this so much longer than I have, but I just can't seem to nail flesh while using a brush. Seems I can only get good results from an airbrush. I will definitely try this method. Thanks Vincy-V!
You can do it! :)
Thank you sir so informative 👍
Welcome! :)
Love your take on painting. I have no artistic background and some topics are really hard for me. But I love painting and your videos help me so much!
I would love to see a future hobby cheating video on reptilian scales (especially a dragon) and your ideas on this topic.
I will add it to the list. :)
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
Thank you 👍
That paint list at the start is a really nice addition! Do you think you will be reviewing the scale 75 instant colour line?
At some point I am sure I will pick them up.
Great vid as always!
I just wanted to point out: when you that links should appear in the top right, they don’t.
Weird, which one didn't show up? I checked and they all showed for me. Glad the video was helpful.
Great tutorial Vince. Tip for connecting volumes is really helpful. Can you do red devil flesh tutorial?
Sure, I'll add it to the list. :)
"flesh is one of my favorite thing to paint"
And suddenly your choices in armies to play, becomes so much clearer :P
Never really considered starting with the dark and building up to the final highlight with flesh.
The way i usually paint flesh is start at the base tone and then build up to the highlight and shade down to the shadows and try and blend each layer.
Could be i should try and start with the shadows and build up to the final highlight, with the next army i paint.
Yeah, it really makes it clear why I like the armies I like. :)
If any models in the hobby should be sweaty it's the slaanesh ones. Great paint job.
100%
thank you!
You're welcome! :)
Beautiful and slaneeshi as always.
Nietzsche (which I think was fully corrupted by slaanesh I believe) said this in the Joyous Winsdom:
Our Ultimate Gratitude to Art .
-If we had not approved of the Arts and invented this sort of cult of the untrue, the insight into the general untruth and falsity of things now given us by science - an insight into delusion and error as conditions of intelligent and sentient existence -would be quite unendurable. Honesty would have disgust and suicide in its train. Now, however, our
honesty has a counterpoise which helps us to escape such consequences;-namely, Art, as the
good-will to illusion. We do not always restrain our eyes from rounding off and perfecting in
imagination: and then it is no longer the eternal imperfection that we carry over the river of Becoming-for we think we carry a goddess, and are proud and artless in rendering this service. As an aesthetic phenomenon existence is still endurable to us ; and by Art, eye and hand and above all the good conscience are given to us, to be able to make such a phenomenon out of ourselves. We must rest from ourselves occasionally by contemplating and looking down upon ourselves, and by laughing or weeping over ourselves from an artistic remoteness : we must discover the hero; and likewise the fool, that is hidden in our passion for knowledge; we must now and then be joyful in our folly, that we may continue to be joyful in our wisdom!
And just because we are heavy and serious men in our ultimate depth, and are rather weights than
men, there is nothing that does us so much good as the foots cap and bells: we need them in presence of ourselves-we need all arrogant, soaring, dancing, mocking, childish and blessed Art, in order not to lose the free dominion over things which our ideal demands of us. It would be backsliding for us, with our susceptible integrity, to lapse entirely into morality, and actually become virtuous monsters and scarecrows, on account of the over-strict
requirements which we here lay down for ourselves. We ought also to be able to stand above
morality, and not only stand with the painful stiffness of one who every moment fears to slip and fall, but we should also be able to soar and play above it! How could we dispense with Art for that purpose, how could we dispense with the fool ?
-And as long as you are still ashamed of yourselves in any way, you still do not belong to us!
As we have learnt from Tarkovski, Art is born out of an impertect world. I thereby pledge alliegance to Slaneesh. Our miniature painting cult will makes the world perfect by making the world art. Demons! Go fecth me the pink paint!
Seems all good to me. ;)
I will probably come back to this video many times. You make it look so easy but I always struggle with my skin looking too chalky, no matter what paints and thinning mediums I use. Is there something that I could systemically be doing wrong?
It's too much thinning of the light paints. My best advice is to use either a more pigmented light paint, or apply it as more a layer and then glaze with the darker colors.
Great result. For a cold environment but human skin would you use a deep blue for the shadows and a warmish sunny skin yellow as highlight? Basically reducing the overall red spectrum?
If you're talking about cold, like freezing, you actually integrate the blues into the mid-tones, go more pale on the highlights and more warm in the shadows, more purples. Then make sure you have the areas where blood is near the surface become flush and magenta.
@@VinceVenturella cool, thanks!
Hey Vince, I know you’re not a big fan of Kroak but do you have any plans to paint the new model coming out? I’m super excited to finally get some new lizard models, it would be great to see your take on him. The model is quite busy so drawing attention where you want it could be a challenge.
He's a busy boy, I am not sure is the honest answer. If I do, I will certainly make a video.
Vince, question. In some of your other videos it appears that you're using the everlasting wet palette. Do you find that it dries out quickly? I feel like I'm constantly adding water to it compared to my masterson one.
My basement is bone dry, so yes, I have to add water frequently. But the key is to keep a lot of water in there, like up to the edge of the sponge.
Man the way you hold the brush hurts my hand! haha
😅
Would love to see the palette in the shot as well. Is that doable?
I will see what I can do, but I don't have a great way to record my palette separately sadly. MOst of the time, you would just see some messy palettes. ;)
Sweaty slaangors in your area
Call now! ;)
Makes me want to play Slaanesh
Then this video was successful. ;)
In your opinion, how long should we typically be waiting in between glaze applications?
I am not him, but he did say wait until it is fully dry so it depends on your glaze. If you like wetblending you don't even have to wait long with the exception of when you're glazing over everything to bring it all together; don't wanna tear up paint layers.
If you're paranoid about it and want a number you could wait 5m(excessive) between applications, or just use a hair dryer. 🤷♂️
Yeah, basically until it's dry, you can always speed it up with a hair dryer to make sure. :)
@@VinceVenturella I’m still really new to the glazing/wet on wet game. I’ve gotta push myself past the basecoat, wash, highlight, repeat. That’s why I love these technique channels.
What airbrush do you use .
I use 2, my workhorse is an Iwata HP-CS, but when I am doing detail jobs, I use an Iwata Hi-Line.
Hi love your vids but the mini was so far away from the camera that I struggled to see what you were doing. Sorry 😞
I will see what I can do in the future to stay closer.
I liked the video, still dislike painting skin
That's fair.
👍🏻👍🏻
:)
I would love for the camera to be closer during your videos. Difficult to see now.
I'll work on that going forward.
Where did the Umbrella sticker go?
I want the Umbrella back!
Shhh we can't talk about that. It died such a horrible death. Glue everywhere. We were too late.
@@Finkeldinken 😭😭😭
Yep, it died in a basing video, glue got stuck to it and it was not able to be salvaged. I have a good selection now, so I may switch every so often. :)
So... The sticker looked like Logan after his stunt in South America?
Vince is a Veronica Mars fan?
Well, a long time ago, we used to be friends.
@@VinceVenturella LOL. I've been binging VM on Hulu for a few weeks now :)
Now i have to think how can i do this with dark skin and browns/blacks...
Yeah, if you shift everything down into deep brown and purple tones, you'll be in the right place.
Great tuto. Thank you. But please, get rid of that ugly illuminati sticker on your desk ;)
It helps me center the miniature, but it's actually from Vernoica Mars. ;)
Hey super early this time!
I think you were first. :)
I can't stand the new sticker. Too bad for me.
I miss the old sticker as well, but I have a good selection now, so I may switch here and there. :)
I love ya, Vince. You're more than an asset to the hobby and thanks for everything you do. But good God, your camera and lighting are just awful.
I thought the camera was good now. :( (I am certainly open to advice), I do need to improve some lighting.
@@VinceVenturella Well, I feel kinda bad for even mentioning it. Not having done it myself, I don't feel I'm qualified to give advice on how to make it better. I only know what I like to look at. I thought I should at least go through my mini painting youtube subscriptions and pick out ones I think are good so I can be more constructive.
Artis Opus. His shots seem more closeup, very well lit and the focus is great.
Cult of Paint. I like his closeup shots and the focus but I'm not sure or not whether a bright background is right nor not. I do, however, like that it isn't a dirty green cutting mat like a lot of painters' vids show. Maybe a light to medium gray background would be better. Yes, it's realistic that everyone's painting surface looks like a paint factory exploded but it just seems to class things up production-wise when everything in the vid is very neat and clean. Like you wouldn't want to watch a cooking show in an untidy kitchen.
Duncan Rhodes' stuff looks pretty good although he uses a white background too so I guess I'm showing how full of it I am.
Darren Latham had some fantastic production and I was sorry to see him stop producing videos. Looking a them now, they're probably the best LOOKING videos of all. Sorry, GW. His videos are better than your "official" how to videos and you shouldn't have made him stop. czcams.com/channels/Sz0WzAuhwjezFyEIv3Xksg.htmlvideos
Going through these channels I notice the stuff that is common about them are a well focused, centered shot that's as close up as possible (macro lens?). The model you're painting in this video is almost falling off of the right side of the screen so the viewer gets to see almost an entire screen full of your painting surface. Also, the ones I list seem to be shot from the perspective of the eyes of the painter and not from off to the side.
Again, the info and advice you present is unquestionably fantastic, helpful, and much appreciated. I hope someone with more technical knowledge can weigh in on this. So tell me to pound sand and do whatever you want. I'll certainly keep watching no matter what. Thanks again for everything.
@@brib9716 Not at all, feedback is how improve in all things. :)
