it might be a lot of work, but a video that states every technique that can be done with a dry brush, like a library of all of the techniques you've covered in the past. You could link those videos in the description too, I think that would be a huge help to anyone getting into drybrushing for the first time. Also amazing video, great explanation!

@Goosumz 2 ай бұрын

You always have quite interesting setups for mounting and handling miniature pieces that differ a fair bit between videos. In this video you're using a grip with a nicely fitted cork piece with what looks like a pinned sprue piece to mount the Space Marine head. It would be very interesting for you to dedicate a video to go through your approach to prepping different sized bits and miniatures as it can vary a lot for both base coating prep and actually painting the models.

Space Marine eyes are a major bugaboo for me, one of the most common places I will go "eh it's good enough" when I don't really think so. Looking forward to trying out these techniques. Suggestion for a future video: brush care! I feel like there's a lot of information about this scattered all over KZbin (some of it bad) and it would be nice to hear from an authority on the subject.

Nice one, Byron. Thanks for this. I have an idea for a video for you: paint additives/mediums. I recently bought some Golden Fluid acrylic paints. It is the most glossy paint I've seen. I've read that there are mediums that can change the finish of paints. The different types of these mediums and how to use them could make for a good video. Another suggestion: acrylic pencils. I recently bought some AK acrylic pencils, but I haven't worked out how to get the most out of them.

As in scrollwork on banners/purity seals, graffiti on terrain, kill markings on lasguns, and tanks, etc. I have a really difficult time with the above because I think I don’t know the technique and would like to paint these tiny details to make my minis come to life. You explained the eye lense process so clearly with this video, I reckon you’d be able to do this very well. Cheers!

@nadukkerensky392 2 ай бұрын

my preferred method of marine eyes is a horizontal line that goes through the middle of the eye this makes it look like a rounded lens instead of scuba goggles paints wise its much the same, but you need 3 bright colours or 1 bright, 1 dark and the skill to make a gradient on your pallet base the whole eye in your dark colour do a thin line of your 1st bright colour that travels the length using your 2nd bright colour do the same line but cut 30% of each end (getting smaller towards the center) then hit the same line with your brightest colour but only do the very middle of the line, about 10% total if you want to go full hog, you can put small white dot at the high back and front low of lens let it dry then coat the entire eye with a gloss black wash the end result is a deep glass look

@madMARTYNmarsh1981 2 ай бұрын

When you say drying out your brush too much, do you mean that the paint dries too quickly on your brush? Retarder medium will help with that issue. You could use flow improver if you have that, but it is more fluid than the retarder medium, so it can make it more difficult to get sharp pupils.

@SweenyMarc 2 ай бұрын

Thinking about tip paint drying time. Has anyone experimented with air brush flow improver on in the mix? It might increase flooding issues as it lowers viscosity, but it greatly increases drying time with air brushes. I wonder if it would be of use avoiding that issue on hair brushes? My suggestion for a video is terrain. That's always my favourite bit of a table-top when it's done well. Maybe a short series. Vid one - how to bash out a passable terrain paint job with minimal time and resources. Vid two - upgrading that to something eye catching. Vid three - what takes it to a showstopper piece.

@madMARTYNmarsh1981 2 ай бұрын

You can buy a retarder medium that lengthens the drying time of acrylic paint. Most of the brands we use to paint miniatures make it. I have some made by Vallejo and some from Golden.

base coat it grey , wash it with black until it reads as black (making sure to let it completely dry between coats), then highlight with light grey this will give you the same depth of colour as your normal painting steps but it will read as black same goes for white , start with grey, wash black, layer up light grey, then highlight white

@garypatterson2857 2 ай бұрын

Space marine lenses? You mean easy mode lenses? Try Eldar Guardians. Smaller, more angular and often overshadowed by the conical helm that limits your ability to come in from above with a brush. Yes, I can fail at both easy and hard lenses with an ease that is indistinguishable from incompetence. It's a (lack of) gift. Suggestion for a video: novel and interesting paints like the colour changing ranges to give iridescence. Got to be useful for Eldar minis, surely? Or Tyranids?

@madMARTYNmarsh1981 2 ай бұрын

Abteilung 502 Magic Potion For Brushes is my favourite brush cleaner. It is safe for sable brushes, but it is still more effective than any brush cleaner I've used, and I've used most. You'll still need a brush soap to clean the cleaner off. For that, I'd recommend Jentastic's Drunken Brush Goop from Monument Hobbies. A huge advantage of the Abteilung 502 stuff is that it is a liquid, so it can remove dried paint from the ferrule, whereas normal brush soap really struggles doing that. I've cleaned brushes with splayed bristles with this stuff and recovered brushes that I thought were dead. If you've got a brush with splayed bristles, grab a clothes peg, put the brush in the 502 cleaner up to halfway along the ferrule, then use the clothes peg to hold the brush in place and leave it there for 10 minutes or so. Don't just drop your brush in the cleaner and leave it like that as it will bend the bristles. You'll see all the dried paint start to flow out of the ferrule into the cleaner.

it's a great tutorial, but please stop telling people to hold their breath! it does NOT help, and will make getting those sharp points and lines way harder than it needs to be. Think of it like this, Snipers and marksmen don't hold their breath, because holding your breath amplifies the heartbeat and makes your body shake with each heartbeat, and with targets as small as the lens of a marine, that's even more important. Long slow breaths are instead far better, control the breathing don't stifle it.
