Duncan and you are the Gods of Painting! Love your tutorials!
You sir, are truly the master.
Thanks for this, I love watching your videos for ideas to try out!
This video is just what I was looking for. So simple and yet it helps to have an example.
Awesome tutorial. Your techniques have helped me alot to improve my figures I paint.
I'm with this guy. I always used brown undercoat, bone color and brown wash. And yes, this was quite a while back :')
Is it strange that I find these tutorials quite relaxing? Thanks for the advice, will be putting it to use on my Guard!
a friend of mine stops by frequently and I'm often watching this channel. He asked me if I wanted to do some figures for him. I'm pretty confident that I'd be able to pull it off after watching your videos. He's seen my terror dog from ghostbusters and the skull I shared with you on facebook. I'm looking forward to the new hobby!
I got these fellows somewhere and some other skeletons, might just nick some of this to replace the usual sand colour as base and working up to white. Outstanding work!
Great unit, Doctor. The subtle differences are certainly more accurate than having all of the bones being identical regardless.
wow you make it look so easy
Agree with your final speech. There isnt only one way to paint bones, and especially the way lot of "pro" painters use (almost pure white) is the worst
I have to agree with you in that using pure white is a mistake; generally speaking, bones only turn "white" after long exposure, when they've come to the point where they're very brittle and about to start breaking down. It looks more visually appealing to minimize the amount of white used and go for more brown, yellow and ivory tones.
Brilliant tutorial many thanks
This was really helpful to see. Thanks!
love it. i also love the idea of not painting out the non-skeletal detail - sword, shied, cape, etc. very artsy (and not at all fartsy).
Great video as always, thanks :)
Just finished assembling a bunch of skeletons for frostgrave. This will help a bunch.
Gotta get exerimental. Your "dive-in" is better than the figuring out GW process.
Frankly, I want to start damn playing already!
Thank You!
Hi! Where I could find part 2? Thank you so much. Fantastic work!
I love brown sandy tone skeletons.
Just as a major thing, while there are so many ways to paint skeletons and it's fun to experiment with them, you really need to keep in mind that unless you're working on an individual basis such as for Role Play and similar scenarios, you really don't want a massive difference between your skeletons in your force.
Damn. I need those skeletons...
Recommendations for a good dry brush? I recently got the Army Painter dry brush and it was great until the ferrule snapped off. I'm rough, but not that rough. My old brushes just aren't cutting it.
Carl Lundstedt GW does really good dry brushes (stay away from their others brushes).
I think you can add some colour to the bones if you do it sparingly. By that I mean the Necromancer or his minions could have literally painted some of the skulls and what-not same as a hoplite may paint his shield or helmet. I think it would look bad if you went overboard, but if you wanted to add colour, you certainly have that 'excuse'. You can also add things like hair and flesh that hasn't quite rotted off the skeleton...
Perfect timing - just got myself some Bone-Bois :D
Doctor Faust's Painting Clinic, what is the brand of this skeletons army? they looks great...
are they 28mm minis?
thank you
"Sepulchral Guard" from Games Workshop.
Yea 28mm or thereabouts.
Do you still thin the paint while dry brushing?
Can I ask you something basic? You did the bones starting from dark brown painted. Then you use the drybrush technique with several tones of buff. And you finish with some painted highlights. Ok...this is easy! Because drybrush is easy also for me that I'm a newbie. But usually you don't use drybrush! Usually you paint all the shades of a colour normally, blending the colours together layer after layer. Can you explain me when is better to use drybrush and when is better to use normal painting?
I know that for fabrics, like cloaks, dresses, robes, is better to paint them stroke after stroke. Instead I saw the you use drybrush on fur and for monster in general. But....what is the "thing" that tells you when using one technique or the other? Thanks!
Use drybrush when you don't care if things look a bit rough or on a surface with lots of texture. The commonality between fur, dirt, bone, rocks, chainmail, etc. is that you don't need smooth blends to make it look good. That's why we drybrush those things and not the rest.
Check out Kujos vids for blending/glazing tutorials bro, and happy painting.
Dry-brushing often gets maligned, but as a technique it has its uses and for something like skeletons it can make the process of painting a lot easier while still yielding decent results. The nature of miniatures like this is that they tend to have a lot of texture (the various bones, pitting sculpted into the bones, voids, etc) so you can cover a lot of area with drybrushing and realistically speaking you'd have a decent "tabletop" standard miniatures if you only did that; however, they can really benefit from going in and cleaning things up as he does here in between layers, smoothing out transitions and making sure details don't get missed. Really, what it comes down to is personal preference and whatever the desired end result needs to look like.
How do you brush so much without reloading? My brush is either too loaded/wet to work as drybrush or so dry that pigment only applyies for a few brushstrokea before i need to lead it up and dry it out again
Dunno. Likely just the temperature and humidity of where you're painting.
nice job！I’m just wondering how did you put the model on the top of that cap?
Hot glue gun.
Doctor Faust's Painting Clinic got it！thx
These are awesome skeletons! Who makes them?
Games workshop!
@@Gianjxx thanks, found the box and bought it. Really nice skellies.
I hear mixing pva glue with acrylic paints helps paint gaps easier
well the mini looks good but the sar wars room bot add funny yes on your vid LOL ps me i add glow in dark to em
Where can i get these figures from
The Shadespire expansion thing, Sepulchral guard is what it's called I think.
Games workshop Shadespire sepulchral guard.
I'm not sure what he means by "buff." Is that the name of the color?
If I’m painting more than 3 skeletons I like to base coat them in a medium Khaki color then dip them in a dark tone wash. Once that’s dry I just dry brush with the original color and paint whatever else is left.
Skeletons really are the easiest models to paint (along with zombies) since they’re so forgiving for colors.
