Why Our Painted Minis Look TERRIBLE

[@Knittywizard]

Things I learnt from this video 1. Don't be so harsh on myself in my hobby endeavours. 2. Try to expand my toolkit to help me grow. 3. Buy more Bog Roll Amazing video! Cheers Dave!

[@amharapneb1773]

And now we now who to blame for the next looroll shortage...

[@B4MBI72]

You can never have too much bog roll, my local pound shop sells huge rolls of 'blu-roll' for a couple of quid, not quite sure how that works should be the couple-of-quid-shop, plu sthe blu-roll is sometimes white. Cheaper than bog roll and a bit less flakey when it get wet.

I’m learning to embrace the school of ‘good enough’ with painting. So I’m tidy and neat and try my best but after a point I stop tearing myself up about being White dwarf standard. Feeling better already! :)

[@MSPaints]

Aye, tidy end product is usually my end goal. Nowt special. Just tidy.

[@metajock]

I love your rambles. Keep doing them, they always seem to make more sense than most people's vids. This is some fantastic advice. I spent 1-1/2 years studying top-of-the-line Golden Demon winners and got very little out of it, then started watching others with totally different perspectives and techniques and advanced massively. I expected too much too fast, without thinking what I **really** wanted as an end product. Painting became a downer for me until I realized I wasn't doing it for fun anymore. Changed my expectations, changed my internal toolbox (such a good term, dude!!!) and started enjoying it again. Good advice, dude. Thanks!!!

[@NewSquallor]

Why I love 52 miniatures. He tries new things, shared his toolbox. I can swipe his tools while he's not looking. :D Great video.

[@Gumlass1]

Yeah. He's a boss.

[@LakeyWargames]

Great advice in here mate. I've been in and around the hobby for years and years and tried to do things by the book but it only got me so far. I made it a little goal to myself this year to just not be worried about "ruining" models and have a go at experimenting. I've learned more and improved so much within the first 5 months of this year than I have in all my painting past combined by doing so than I have trying to copy something by someone else. I'm not saying to not listen or watch tutorials but just take on board what they're saying, why they might do what they do from here and there. Then sit down and make your own style of said thing by trying, failing, learning from it and going again. Keep up the great work and hope your Japan trip goes well! :)

[@BBolloBB]

Loving the style of the video and cuts and way the next cuts audio bleeds into the previous cut, thing of beauty.

[@ThomAshworth]

Came here to say the same - flawless smooth editing and great choices with audio cuts offset from video.

[@mirage20059]

Best video. I wish this had been a video I first watched when I started miniatures. Game changers for me were(touched upon in the video): 1. a good chair 2. Paint, I enjoy to use and just works for me. 3. Lights! Just adding a second desk lamp and changing the bulbs to daylight LEDs was huge. 4. Paint shaker/test tube mixer. 5. lastly learning it is an art and not a science. Given that it was a road of trial and error.

[@halfcrafted]

This video is wonderful. With all the content consumption that we generally taka part in in the wargaming hobby community, these points you bring up in this video are increasingly important to remember. The most important thing is remembering to still treat it as a hobby, do it for the sheer enjoyment, for the fuck of it, learn a new thing, try a different way, see what YOU like. That's the only reason we should be doing it.

[@mattnottm8363]

These kind of "Dude, you are good enough!!!" videos are much needed. I'd love to paint to the level of some of the guys and gals on here, but ive realised that im more than happy with the level im at right now. Obviously I'm not against improving, but as a really slow painter with limited time to spare, I think my time is better spent finishing 5 minis to an acceptable level over finishing 1 mini just 10% better. Its not like im going to be enter Golden Demon any time soon ....

[@winstonsmith8316]

Great advice, Dave. Thank you. I often have to slow down and realize that the way I see someone get an effect painting, might not be the way I am able to, given my neurological difficulties.

[@subcynic]

In the old days, you were just given the basic techniques; (base coats, wash, highlights.) And then a few tips, (light sources, metallics.) Then you got on with it for hours and hours, while everyone else watched Terry Wogan. Now there are millions of videos saying buy these exact materials and do this exact process. A balance between DIY and outside input is required.

Last summer I spent some time with coloring books and alcohol markers. That changed the way I paint my minis. Now I out much more attention to the colour and shades I use and less to the diddly details.

[@HacksawsHobbyBunker]

A ritual I cant seem to break is - I always paint the faces first, so I have someone to talk to. But you provide cracking advice all around. Cheers!

[@the_arcanum]

Ah, great topic Dave. Thank you for bringing this up. It really does help sometimes to take a bit of distance on your practice and reflect on the different paths or solutions others have thought of to progress in their creative journey, whether it's fine arts or hobbies and crafts. I came back to the hobby about a year ago after decades of neglect. I had a big roadblock to circumvent. I couldn't bring myself to start painting minis because of the pressure I was putting on myself. What if I ruin it ? Will I be able to stand a mediocre result and risk to abandon it again for years because I cannot reconcile my expectations with my current skills ? So I chose a different path to build my confidence until I feel ready to tackle painting minis. I decided on kitbashing and modding every single part of my army, none using GW standard poses, always looking a bit different. And to start painting I went BIG, building big decors and honing techniques on these terrain bits that are always presented as an after thought or a necessary tedium to be able to play. First, the result seems much more atteignable, terrain bits are rarely shown painted to a Golden Demon level. So less pressure to compare your attempts to the most renowned model makers. Second, painting on a big scale helps me a lot : brush control is not as critical and you can concentrate on hues, baked-in lighting and contrast, using many (cheap) materials to just try things. And it's working !

[@TimotheeFleury]

Holy shit! The "getting rid of the ritual" part makes so much sense, i am mad at myself for not thinking about it sooner

[@patricknestor342]

Wise words.. been thinking "this should be better" but it's a journey not a destination... Nice one !

[@RUSirius]

This video speaks to my soul! It should be required watching for anybody whether new to the hobby or a veteran. I just need to do it my way.

[@ashbickley]

Was half expecting you to say "welcome back" in Prof Oaks voice and then go on a photo tour around an island :)

[@walksinthedarkness]

Great video (as always!) It's good to remind yourself every now and then that just because everyone else uses a skill doesn't mean you have to and you might find a way to do that skill better in your own way. Also, it's okay to ignore the nobs who say, "Thin your paints!" without explaining what thinning your paints involves...

[@sculptdude]

[@snoopyxcore]

Great video. My personal tip: Learn from others (obviously), BUT, and this is where many people fail on/struggle with, is finding what works for oneself based on everything. Everyone is different, from their way of thinking, observing, to physically interacting with the world. Find what works for YOU, and to keep at it.

Brilliant video! Your ability to articulate ideas and abstract concepts and present it all in a warm and calm way makes you a great teacher.

[@EwanBlackmane]

Great Video. I totally agree with you about demystifying the ritual. You can watch all the tutorial videos there are and not be happy with the outcome. Just sitting and trying out something that came to you during doing something else can be liberating for your hobby.

[@emilrosander2340]

This might be the most insightful video about painting I’ve come across. I gradually realized these things about 3 years ago and my painting exploded, both in quality and enjoyment of the process.

This really hit home for me. I've been in the hobby since the 90's and things have changed so much and I feel like I've always struggled to keep up with the progressing and changing skillset. I've always been my own worse critic.

Brilliant video, many thanks. I have recently returned to model making after many decades of absence. I started where I left off, 1:700 scale model ships. I am now into wooden ship kits.

Many thanks for your words of simple wisdom.

Sometimes its not terrible looking mini that looks terrible, but emotions looking at it brings. Same other way. I have few decent, at least for my skills, minis that look horrible for me, and i know its because it reminds me bad times. On the other hand - i have for example gutrippa that i tested drybrushing every color on to check how fast i can finish it. I love this one and i will never say its terrible. This gutrippa on the other hand remind me painting session with my 7 year old son where he did impressive savage orc standard bearer and we had great time together.

[@ian8477]

Sometimes you just have to keep painting, even if it isn't working for you, because until the painting is complete you can't see the full picture of how every stage of painting interacts with each other, and why one stage actually may or may not be working.

Wow been modeling (not in the flesh but small scale white metal stuff) for forty years or so now, and I find that you get your own feel for doing something, in your own way. If it works stick with it same goes for paint, brushes ect... Tutorials on T'internet are good for ideas and then find your own way of doing it. The amount of figures I have stripped and started again. The big problem I think is people today want it now, are not prepared to put the time in or the effort to produce something. Hell I've been planning a model railway for over ten years.... Works out I don't have the room but hey ho. Back to 6mm stuff, I have the room for that and some 15mm. End of day don't be blinded by what you see and hear, do your own thing your own way and if that doesn't work just change it a little until it does. But most of all ENJOY YOUR HOBBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your way.

[@jonnze8949]

Thanks for this. I feel keeping the expansion of the technical toolbox under control is one of the most important things in the hobby. I ordered the full Warcolour One Coat and Layer Paint sets with 100+ bottles because it sounded like such a cool system and such a cool medium. And it MIGHT be. Really. It is probably a me problem, not a problem of the paints. But for me they are utter shit and I hate that I bought them. The One Coat line is amazing. It does what it says. Cover in one coat. The others and the gel medium makes me want to chew my hands off. They have the coverage of water and dont paint at all. I'm only able to move them around on the surface like a blob of glycerol leaving a snaketrail of a hint of color on the model. Sure, I tried to mix them with water and traditional acrylic medium or thinner but...that just makes them even less covering and more weird. Sorry for the rant. Stay away unless you are really willing to learn to control something alien in comparison to Vallejo, Citadel or Scale75. Oh, and let them dry for much longer after each layer. If not, you will strip it right off the primer or next layer underneath. That was the most horrible thing. I still refuse to believe that the brand is bad though. I mean Vince is using them, right?

[@darsis]

Thank you. I needed this.

[@Pariahwulfen]

I haven't picked up a brush in over a decade because of a combination of time, space and money, the variables have changed recently such that I will soon be picking it up again, but that's beside my point. The thing is, I'm arthritic, and certain things I just can't do for long periods of time. For instance, I didn't really like to paint tanks or large models in general, because of the amount of time it took me with a brush, and holding an old school airbrush was quite painful, quite quickly. Now, things have changed such that we have contrast paints, so I don't have to over thin multiple layers of acrylic to get a decent look with grey / white drybrushing on a black primed model, I hear the kids these days call this "slapchop". I'm more concerned that since a lot of the paint companies I used to use have disappeared, Armory flesh kit for one, which is going to lead to a big step back beyond simple skill atrophy. Still, this is something that people need to hear at various points in this hobby.

I'm weirdly obssessive compulsive about painting (or perfectionist, I don't know). Its held me bad from techniques like zenithal highlighting because inevitably theres a little hair or bit of grit in the paint somewhere that I've just got to get out and cant fix the blend to make it look perfect, then its all I can look at. I'd rather get the paint on neat and solid than use techniques I can't control as easily. I know it's weird and I'm not really pushing myself but I've had to come to terms with it.

I’ve tried following guides, made me feel stupid coz they’re all like “it’s dead easy, anyone can do it” Weirdly I think that’s still a good stage to go through, you learn what works, what doesn’t work, and then you can find your own path and your own style Basically I ended up picking and choosing what works for me. I also heard the phrase “three foot fabulous” from Doug, at 2+ Tough. That really altered the way I see minis. Getting something to look good on camera is wayyyy harder than getting it to look good IRL I think there was a huge pressure to get photogenic models rather than just whacking out a fully painted army, which looks amazing as a whole, rather than individually And yeh, changing to Scale 75/pro acryl my paint style improved massively. I was surprised at that I stopped using washes too, that also helped hugely, so I add shadows by adding purple/grey to a midtone etc

It depends a great deal on WHY you paint miniatures. For most of my life I painted wargame armies. That means I painted over 200 figures all with the same uniform. When done they were glued down 4 to a base and put in a travel box. I did not worry about "layering" Now I'm starting to paint a higher standard of figure and I'm starting to look at videos like this: Crucial Brush Control Techniques for Miniature Painting kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2rKp4etasZ9jbM

[@B4MBI72]

Something I have found is I think my finished mini's are a bit crap, but when you show a photo of it to a fellow painter nerd friend they think its awesome. They show you a pic of their latest mini and you are blown away by it, but they think its shit. I think we are always our own harshest critic, maybe its because we spend hours staring at the same model and know where all the little fek-ups are. Decent lighting helped me no end, I have crap aging eyesight and 2 cheap(ish) IKEA angle poise lights made SO much difference to my painting, also using a bigger brush with a nice tip made a huge difference, 95% of my painting is done with a size 2 or 3 brush these days, I tend to only use anything smaller if I am bothering to try to mess up painting eyes.
