Fascinating Way of SPEEDPAINTING that helps me finish my WARHAMMER 40.000 Army

[@dominicparker6124]

Wet blending proving yet again that it's such a powerful skill every painter should learn. No need to wait. It's so fun and fast compared to eavy metal layers

[@Bishop0151]

I love that pencil highlight every time I see it. Crisp and easy edge highlight, damn quick. I use to "feel" like steps like this were a "cheat". I've gotten to a place where I've realised that, outside of rigid competition rules, whatever gets you to the end result that you're after is absolutely fine. There's no such thing as a cheat, there's just tools, techniques, and styles. Mix and match as you need, to get the end result you're after. You have encouraged me to be braver, for that I thank you.

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

@@Bishop0151 I thank you for such kind words. Each of them is true and lovely.

[@SlayerMiniatures]

Loved the use if a pencil. I've never thought of using that to highlight black. Blew my mind! DANKE ROMAN!

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

@@SlayerMiniatures Happy I can help :)

[@АртёмЛуковников-м1и]

I knew about it for the prop making, it gives metallic effects like nothing else, but may be hard to protect. Never even crosed my mind to try it for miniature.

[@LinkSen]

I'd like to know, if the Kind of pencil matters. More Hard or soft?

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

@@LinkSen test different ones to find out which one you like best :) ... All work

[@mikeszpakowski1]

Old technique among scale armour modellers.

[@DarkLolification]

I love this painterly style with a lot of brushstroke, it gives a lot of character !

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

@@DarkLolification thank you!

[@Muerte0780]

Love the whole Speedpainting Series. Very impressive. Thank you!

[@havelock1982]

Freehanding details on a fifteen minute paintjob, I'm impressed!

[@Brettpw]

This is like a miniature version of a slam dunk. Rally the KZbin painters Roman! Want to see everyone take on this feat to determine who is the master of this test of arms!

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

@@Brettpw hahahaha, great describtion :)

[@garyjenson1326]

It's funny how I prefer the painterly style to super smooth perfectly rendered digital style. Now if I could just get there in 15 minutes! Nice job Roman

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

@@garyjenson1326 thanks

[@mordred158]

I have absolutely been loving these looks into your workflow. I can't wait to see your longer form video that goes in depth with your process!

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

@@mordred158 one day. Thank you for your kind feedback and patience!

[@EdAllen]

Thanks for the reminder of pencil metals. I used to do that a long time ago.

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

@@EdAllen yeah, it is nothing new, but some old relic :D

[@isisnmagic1812]

Great video and the pencil wow, just screams graphite thanks for that awesome tip.

[@docremington1589]

Amazing paintjob for 15 minutes. This made me subscribe. So many little cool tips and tricks in one video. Just one question if you'll allow me: Was this a soft pencil? I couldn't spot it well due to it being out of focus.

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

Thank you and welcome! I bet you will enjoy the other speedpainting Videos too. The pencil was a HB, but you will see that every pencil you will use will work :)

[@ImreRides]

Super impressive as always! Thx for sharing!

[@jammywesty91]

Love seeing wet on wet work. Great job Roman. A pencil is my favourite way to achieve quick subtle metallics!

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

Yeahwrr!

[@Keltik0ne]

Well, that is a process I've not had much experience with but you can't argue with the end result.

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

Glad you like it. There are more videos going through the same process of speedpainting on my channel. I know it is a different way and approach, but one that is really worth applying ...

[@ViktorBrech]

AK, Army Painter, and half a dozen other companies now locked in a race to be the first to add €8 pencils to their range

[@criticalcommenter]

$8! Such optimism! $18.99 minimum

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

Be sure of that :D

[@patricknoble3090]

Videos like this show why Roman is the goat. How much atmosphere and character can you possibly jam into a single, simple little 28 mini in only 15mins!? ❤❤

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

@@patricknoble3090 🥰😁

[@AvocationNation]

Thank you for the excellent video. I found it very soothing and educational. I particularly liked the closeup shots at the end; They helped my understand the most essential lines and values of the face. Also sets my expectations for the quality of blends to expect with such a short timeframe. Thank you!

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

Happy to help and inspire!

[@darkbearlab7326]

Thank you for sharing! I've been using your wet on wet method and finished ALL my cultist models for necromunda in a month!

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

So so so cool to hear that! Yeah!

[@surly1988]

Always happy when a new video from you shows up :) Have a good one, cheers

Wow. This is 100% inspiring. Very cool artist style paintwork. Thanks.

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

Thanks!

[@johnsnow5968]

The real way you know he is pro is no paint on the phone screen

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

😆😅

[@imuz8644]

Love this Roman, but a bit of feedback - the phone screen kept stealing the camera focus so it made it a touch difficult to watch you paint the miniature. Very cool panitjob eitherway.

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

I agree. Thanks. Like I mentioned in the video it is old footage. Future Footage will be better :)

[@jimmywv]

never thought to do a rough 'wet sketch' for the base coat like that, love it! how do the pencil highlights hold up overtime, do you have to reapply?

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

Thanks a lot. Well, I bet due handling miniatures differently from person to person I'd say consider for yourself what your pencil work needs ... varnish or not. Depends on how much you touch them models ...

[@Dyslexicminipainter]

It’s funny watching these

[@BaffledOrange]

Would you recommend varnishing over the graphite with gaming pieces? Or is it hardier than you would think?

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

@@BaffledOrange I did not test the varnish yet. I think it could benefit from it when you play a lot.

[@BaffledOrange]

@@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART Thank you!

[@jonasgehrs9580]

Sehr beeindruckend! Danke

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

Sehr gerne!

[@HereticsHeroes]

The sheer amount of paint you laid down at the beginning is giving me anxiety. I'm not sure I would ever be able to paint quite like that, but I definitely do need to learn to be a little looser with how I approach things.

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

I love to paint bold. And I learned to use this as my advantage in finding my style ...

[@CandellieStudio]

Lovely job. Makes me want to see what I can do in a 15 minute time limit. I like to think I'd just paint with a bit more freedom to express.

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

Jup. Give it a try.

[@marcoherreras6536]

very inspiring, will try this definitely to paint huge amounts of fodders for turnip28

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

@@marcoherreras6536 enjoy and keep on happy painting!

[@euansmith3699]

A comment That's a cracking technique and a great result.

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

Thanks!

[@АртёмЛуковников-м1и]

I don't think this metod will fit my Tau or Sisters, but for Kroot or Genestealers this definetly worth the try, thank you!

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

I agree. You are welcome.

[@GettinJiggly]

I'm curious about the first brown layer when you covered 90% of it by the black after. Does it have something to do with the wet method you use, causing the colors to blend and not be pure brown or black?

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

Yes, you are right, the brown connects it all. All colors, also the Black armour and makes everything more interesting and homogenous!

[@ViktorBrech]

Okay let's get the gist of the workflow here... * wet blending base colors, James Wappel style, makes sense * Pick out key details and apply God-tier painter skills to make them sparkle effortlessly... sigh, makes sense * use pencil to throw on easy edge highlights... makes sensWAIT WHAT, A PENCIL??? (watch this section 5 times, mind blown)

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

:D 🥰

[@MarkWidner]

I keep thinking it's some special mini pencil. it is literally a soft HB sketch pencil? I know you have to find the one that works for me but I feel like I need to break out my charcoal pencils now.

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

Yes, it was an HB or 2B or an H. These are the ones I got on my table

[@MarkWidner]

Does the shine/highlight still show through once varnished? About to try it today with a mech unit I have.

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

@@MarkWidner Give it a try. I do not know. I did not use varnish and I might believe that the results vary on pencil and varnish you use. Experiment your own result is my suggestion.

[@sgtsol7934]

Very cool Roman, pencil trick is new to me, can I use any standard pencil though, also will it rub off with handling or do you have seal it?

[@isisnmagic1812]

If its a gaming piece it's good to finish with a varnish as all paints will wear off with continued handling no matter what type you use especially pencil .

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

This answer above!

[@matteomichelangelo2945]

what kind of pencil did you use for the metal work? Great video!

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

As far as I remember HB

[@echtervogel]

Tolles Video! Warum setzt du eigentlich den Fokus nicht manuell? Dann springt der AF nicht ständig auf die Palette

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

Danke, guter Punkt. Das ist altes Videomaterial wie Im Video kurz erwähnt. In kommenden Videos klappt das besser :)

[@echtervogel]

@@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART ah sorry, hab ich übersehen

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

@@echtervogel koi Problem nedda

Love the technique, it’s a bit of a shame half of the time the mini is out of focus… hoping to follow a course next year from you!

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

Yupp, apologies. It is old footage. Future one will be better :)

[@tinyHIPPOclips]

Throw the subscribe edit before you start the Mini next time. You were about 5 seconds into the mini and edited it already. It can really throw people off who are new comers like me! Just a little tip (: this was fun thank you

[@turboclown]

This is so interesting, are these oil paints?

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

@@turboclown no, acrylics. Regular acrylics, hobby paints and artist paints. Nothing special.

[@turboclown]

@@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART Thank you for the reply, much appreciated. I need to learn more about the "Wet in Wet" step you made at the beginning, I imagined using standard acrylics would clog up any details. But it sure didn't. Are they thinned down a lot? Didn't look like it in the preparation. Such an interesting technique with very nice results. I'll take a look at your other videos, maybe I'll understand better how it works.

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

@turboclown I am working on a full in depth workshop in video format on this topic. I will teach one in December hands on to twenty students in my studio. I plan to film a lot of the explanation part and will do an intense m, high production value workshop later on. Not for free, but worth the coins. Promised.

@@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART Keep us posted on your channel, please! I'm down to paying for good content.

@turboclown will do. Thank you!

[@LinkSen]

Love it. But Please deactivate Auto Focus on your camera and Set the Focus on the Mini. A lot of the time only the wet palette is focused 🙈

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

@@LinkSen very true. Apologies. Like I mentioned in the video this is old footage. Future footage will be better :)

[@JesterOnCrack]

The end result looks great, but unfortunately the mini is out of focus for almost the entirety of the video so I don't really see the details of what you're actually doing. EDIT: It is definitely better in the second half of the video

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

Apologies. Yeah I know. Like I stated in the video: it is old footage and future footage is better.

[@Biggles369]

Can I suggest using a camera with a manual focus. It is very annoying to not be able to see the process.

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

Thank you. Correct. Like I said in the video this is old footage. Future one is better ... Apologies.

[@HammerFang]

I wish you would paint Infinity models that way. These seems to be more challenging than those of Warhammer (of any kind).

[@kastork82]

The phone display is constantly ripping focus away from the mini and your work :(

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

@@kastork82 yes, like I said in the video it is older footage. Apologies, better footage is on the way ...
