GLAZING explained in 5 minutes

[@Zumikito]

This video took me over 60 hours to create when I count in editing, filming and paintng the miniatures. Also, youtube has taken down my previous thumbnail, so that definitely does not make my life easier, but if you wanna support what I am doing here, please consider subscribing and giving this video thumbs up. Thanks! 👊

[@kleezer1]

KZbin needs to chill tf out

[@power_SERG]

Your " Under 5 Minute" video series are some of the best things in the miniature painting scene. Seriously, thanks for your work.

[@Zumikito]

Oh stop it you, I am starting to blush! ☺ I hope my content will reach more poeple (so far it gets quite nice following) and more people will get to enjoy it

[@matthewrayner571]

I completely agree with this comment.

[@dinkosaurusrex7746]

Absolutely.

[@ericna7754]

Couldnt agree more, it’s so nice to know if I want to rewatch one your technique videos, I don’t need to get through a 20 minute video with half the information you provide well in 5 minutes.

[@OmegaDestroyer99]

Big agree.

Glazing her chest multiple times in less than 5 minutes...😅

[@horuslupercal9936]

[@OliveTree2010]

It sure gets people watching tho 😅

[@MrStatistx]

Using a base to test is such a logical and simple idea, but I never thought about it.

[@DarthVZ]

This channel is pure NMM gold, man

[@jonathanonfire]

These 5 minute videos (that I'm sure take you dozens and dozens of hours of editing!) are everything I ever wanted in a tutorial video. No fluff. All substance. Thank you so much for all of your hard work, Z. 🙏

[@Zumikito]

I am glad that the work is appreciated👌cheers

[@exmortisminiatures3170]

Spent the last 6 months trying to get my head round glazing and blending. This made it a whole lot easier to understand. Great video!

[@NatesMiniatures]

Fantastic explination of glazing, I swear I am one of those that has subscribed!

[@Zumikito]

Cheers mate :)

[@punkcabbage]

These short form videos are excellent! Clear, packed with info, and great demonstrations of technique as well. So easy to watch! This channel is gonna be big! Keep up the great work!

[@Zumikito]

Thank you for your kind words :)

[@UguuYianKutKu]

I love your style of video, I've been watching even for techniques im confident in just cause its so informative and so fast. You're like a reverse vince ventrulla(his content is amazing too just very exhaustive and comprehensive), hyper fast straight to the point; makes me wanna get straight to painting after watching every time.

[@Zumikito]

Thank you, it really means a lot to me. I love videos ftom Vince, but there is a lot of long form cintent already, so I decided to fill the gap of short informative videos. I still think that my videos are great starting point and you can go for a deep dive to Vince or Trovarion or whoever you want. Cheers!

[@loltwest9423]

Thanks for doing this btw. Glazes have always been an intimidating thing for me to take on (skin and faces in general, really). It's nice to see it broken down so simply and neatly.

[@adamokoriscant8500]

Just subscribed, I love the straight to the point practical demonstration of techniques without muddling my poor noob mind with 40 other techniques and twenty minutes of stories about your cats thrown in. Keep up the good work!

[@Zemogion]

When you don't know how to use some painting method (like me) and trying to find something on KZbin it looks like "in this short 18 hour video by using exclusive sable fur brushes, 356 colors and solvent from sea urchin teats we will learn how to make smooth transitions and reflections of gold in silver". But here everything is on the case, short and clear. Big thanks!

[@MrJamocity]

I am so glad you showed up on my recommended videos. These techniques explained in under 5 mins are just what I have been looking for, straight to the point. Subscribed.

[@Zumikito]

It is so nice that you say that, thank you

[@mechat-rex7379]

i honestly just can't thank you enough for your videos. the way you break down these techniques and go into detail makes it so easy to understand.

[@Ksauce001]

Wooo first, glad I am able to see a awesome technique on glazing. Been having a lot of inconsistency with my glazing.

[@JadeJoules]

Your videos keep popping up in my feed, and I've watched many of them, but today I subscribed. This video, as well as your OSL one, helped me finally get the hang of some paint techniques I had been having trouble with. I have ADHD, and I'm already a fairly decent self taught artist, so most other tutorials, where they talk about every little detail, made me zone out and miss out on the important stuff I needed to up my craft. These videos told me only what I needed, and waited until after the information was told to start really going in depth on HOW to use the techniques, or variations of them. Also, your graphics and paintjobs were clear and concise examples of the concepts you talked about. Thank you so much for explaining this in a way I could understand.

[@Blottingpaper]

I was never certain about wicking off excess paint on a paper towel, glad to see I was actually doing the right thing. Makes glazing seem so much easier.

[@Zumikito]

Glad that it helped :)

[@TheThing-m9f]

I love how your video's are short and stay on point makes it easy to go back and watch again if you are struggling with something. Not to say you shouldn't make longer videos about things, but when teaching a technique Short and to the point works great for me. A++ from me.

[@Zumikito]

Thank you, I will keep on doing this format for sure, but longer videos are coming too :)

[@drgnmstr44]

just started watching you channel as it got linked to a question I asked in a group on facebook on drybrushing. I really like how you took this topic and broke it down. a little fast but I never thought of using a base to try things out. I think that's a great idea. this seems better with the glazing technique and I'm more willing to try this out after seeing this video.

[@montlejohnbojangles8937]

I'm honestly devastated that it took me this long to stumble into your channel. This is seriously some of the best, most informative, and actually *useful* content for painters of just about any level on KZbin. I'm personally offended that you only have 18.2k subs. I'll see if I can't recommend a few folks your way.

[@Zumikito]

Man, you are way too kind, I am really so happy about the positive response these videos are getting! I am sure people will naturally discover my videos and they will come to enjoy them when the time is right :) Thank you

Great video! This is a technique I've been struggling to get right, and your explanation & examples were extremely helpful... as well as entertaining! If you're going to spend time doing 1,055 glazes, you sure picked the right mini! haha

That is true! Not really something for tabletop standard minis haha. Either way, having right layer underneath helps a lot

Best explanation of glazing ever.

[@SuperFreeamerican]

Hey, It's just after 6:00 am here in U.S. I'm lyin' here with COVID, for the second time, sick as a dog, so I'm binge watching your videos, in order. After having been a miniature for only 5 months, I've learned SO much from watching you paint. Can I make a few video requests..? I think they'll be relatively painless. 1) Make a video showing us a timeline of your work, starting with some of your earliest pieces, getting older as your work has grown, up to some of your latest pieces. And explain how you learned to get your level of mastery as you grew as a painter. 2) Do a video on beard care. I know guys who couldn't grow a full beard if you put a gun to their heads. Like you, I'm one of the blessed ones who can grow a full thick beard but I can't control mine anywhere near like yours. How did you keep that thing so tamed..? Thanks for the great vids..!!

[@jirhonarmstrong4107]

Ok first and foremost amazing beard. Second this was my first video I saw of yours it was in my recommended and after seeing it you in 5 minutes and 53 seconds helped me really feel like I understood glazing more and without a second thought got me to sub. This is a amazing video 🤘🤘🤘

[@Zumikito]

Thank you, it is always great to hear that this helps people!

[@Dissillius]

Love the 5 min series its nice to have all the abridged information on one topic in one video. I think I learned more in 5 mins than I have in hours of other vides nice one :)

[@Caladors]

Hey man this video is great. I am teaching my brother how to paint and while I think there is nothing better than having a teach by your side, I think videos like this really help get concepts across. Glad to have subbed :) So I thought I should comment and like for the KZbin gods :P btw I was a bit out of it so those Trumpets thing I was like ahhh ha ha, but its good makes people pay attention. Keep up the good work :)

You are more than welcome

[@FALCONMINISTUDIOS]

We appreciate your hard work especially making the videos I know a little bit about that pain myself.

[@alexedev]

Great video! I was struggling with transitions, will try this method

[@cubang71]

These 5 minute videos are so good that I kinda wish they were longer haha An in depth video of how u glaze would be amazing. Maybe take one area where you use your shiny black primer method with the light source and glaze that area from start to finish. The red leg armor for example in your volume video you just did recently would be cool. That way we kind of get a better understanding of what colors to mix (base tones, mid tones, etc) and where to place them. Keep it up though man. I’m a new subscriber and happy I found your content!

[@Zumikito]

There will be a longer video at some point , so I will show as much as possible there, but the volume video covers it pretty well imho :) thank you

[@CenrelianGuardsmen]

Thank you for using that busty model for this video, it really helped me stay focused

[@Calapet]

You've got a new follower, my friend. You certainly went straight to the point, unlike other KZbinrs who beat around the bush for ages in order to stretch the time of their videos. Bravo! (By the way, your accent sounds extremely familiar. Where are you from?)

[@Zumikito]

Thank you, I am trying to fill this gap that exists, since I find myself skipping many parts in vidoes of some youtubers (although the advice is still great). I am from Czech Republic, but I watch so much of pewdiepie that I think that I lost my Czech accent and went for swedish instead 😅

[@Calapet]

@@Zumikito Well, carry on making these videos because they are definitely worthy gems full of knowledge to bear in mind. Best of Lucks, mate!

[@dustinluong9307]

can you please do a tutorial on your skintone? rn im using the fairy flesh set, but i feel like going from purple to skin really elevates the mini

[@MasterNinjaXz]

So... im still confused. Glazing should come after you are done basing, layering and edge highlighting?

[@mikereckhaus1139]

Great Video again! The diagram is pretty cool and a must have for every srarter. Keep on going!

[@zpetriw]

Very informative video. Thank you!! Glazes can definitely be tricky to learn.

[@Zumikito]

Glad it was helpful!

[@WeaponisedAutism]

So what colour would the glaze be? I'm trying to paint glowing necron tubes, and Ive set the shades, midtones and highlights, but what would I glaze between them to make the transition? If this is shown in video, I apologise for my stupidity

[@RiftOut]

So basically highlight first and then glaze to achieve the transitions between the base coat and the highlight?

[@tigozijlmans4581]

So.. If I want to make my Skorpekh destroyer blade using shading.. I can base my blade with the bright colour first, and then put on my darkest colour and use glazes to blend them?

[@ChamberK-1]

I struggle to get a good glaze consistency. The paint always comes out opaque no matter how wet or dry the brush is. If I remove excess water it’s equally opaque but the paint dries after like one stroke. If I leave a little water it’s still just as opaque as before but pools everywhere.

[@bastiaanceuppens5364]

Very good explanations in your videos, without the fluff. Very good as a reference imho. Also, how obvious to use spare bases. Why didn't I think of that :D

[@Zumikito]

Thank you :)

[@AoSCoach]

Mate this is such a great video! I need to glaze more on my minis but I lack patience

[@kubawechowski1035]

I should glaze darker color on the lighter color or oposite? Cause I am not sure which aproach is better

[@skyrider4789]

Just found your channel & good explanation. I keep wondering during the entire video, where are her "tips"? 🤔😆👀

[@dannowak6468]

How long till a glaze coat is dry enough for a second coat?

[@Seafire-gy2hs]

This is awesome! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@mrmrgaming]

Hi. I have a 1/6 Deckard head (Blade Runner). It's a nice head, and the paint job is not bad at all....but it's too pale. I just wonder, is there any glaze that you can put over his skin to just darken it a little. Not too much, but at least tone down his pasty white look. Thanks

[@baconboi4482]

So with Glazing if I’m going between let’s say orange and yellow, and I want to build up from a flat orange. How would you recommend doing that?

[@southpaw5483]

Is it easier to use a "Glaze Medium" instead of water?

[@Pinetree747]

I don't know how to set up the paint on my wet pallet to get a good glazing texture

[@dantemagdaluyo890]

Using a base to test shading results is a good idea. But bases are expensive and not accessible. What other readily available substitutes are there from bases? Would a flat white thick paper do?

[@Zumikito]

really? I always felt like I have abundance of bases - I sometime "borrow" bases from sets that I don'tpaint just yet. Other than that, paper can work if it doesn soak the paint

[@genesis95zp92]

Sorry for asking i’m trying to paint some flesh with this technique for the first time and my question is do i paint the base color and then glaze the light one? Or do i paint the light one and use the the base( darker) as glaze? Or do i paint both separately and use a mix of both as a glaze to soften their division?

[@MaximeDde]
