How I Paint Things - Faces

[@cailumgrantham-tibbitt8543]

You are such a underrated channel I wish you had more exposure. These vids are top notch

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Very kind of you to say so. :) I'll just keep plugging along, doing my do - I'm honestly still stunned any time someone stops by to watch a thing, so as long as people continue to enjoy it, I'll keep going!

Couldn’t agree more.

[@callanbentlee3357]

@Angelo Mohammad i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@carltonbanks5167]

finally a good method of painting darker skin tones, thanks again.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

I've also had some success using the Foundry range of skin tones, which are definitely worth checking out. Their darker tones work really well under a little Agrax Earthshade before highlighting!

After 3 years I'm still coming back to this video

[@MentoliptusBanko]

Thanks for this advises, I am painting some bloodreavers and had trouble with dark skin tones. You also helped me with different light skin tones as well. The thing you say about skin tones and colours can be applied to the whole body, not only faces.

[@AMoyse610]

A really helpful video. I can't seem to get my faces where I want them but I'm going to tweak my process based on this video. Thanks! Your videos are great.

[@adamfox1669]

Another wonderful tutorial. I really appreciate & enjoy your manner of explanations & examples. I always pick up more to use on my own projects! Great stuff. Thanks!

[@gkspain1]

Very nice, great to relook at paint techniques, all the best Garry

[@nocturnenoble2468]

Thank you so much for the recipes, especially the dark one. I eventually plan to paint some Tempestus Scions and the range of skin tones should really enrich the miniatures.

[@leonmumford179]

Thanks for keeping it simple and easy.

[@serdna96]

This is exactly what I've been looking for, thank you!

[@ultimapanzer]

Sticking the heads on screws to paint them is such a good idea, mind blown lol

[@nimda69]

Absolutely useful Video. Thank's a lot for this.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Thank you. :) I think this one's a little slower-paced than some of the others, but it works. Painting faces can be a really fun part of finishing off a miniature.

[@ecMonify]

another smashing tutorial! i definitely think that not painting the miniatures eyes look so much better, and as far as painting faces go i really think that less is more - to the point that i almost prefer just a basecoat followed by a wash :P your methods are really nice though, because they don't go over the top and make the miniatures face look messy. cheers :)

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Thanks! I've seen some people get really amazing results when they paint the eyes in, but I can never quite seem to pull it off to the same degree and - honestly, that lack of skill aside - I tend to think the rank and file still look better when they're not glaring into the distance. As far as simple, easy to replicate and effective on the tabletop, a wash in the sockets tends to do the job just fine for me.

[@simonemmerson6112]

Excellent tutorial. May I ask what paint colours would you recommend for a British Indian Soldier fighting on the Indian Northwest Frontier also a Afghan Tribesmen. I'd be very greatful for any advice. Regards Simon

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Honestly, I'm really not sure - it's something very specific that I've not tackled before, personally. I'd thoroughly recommend checking out the range of Foundry paints for something along those lines, since they sell triplet sets of paint that're designed to get specific skin tones.

[@AinemArchtos]

Thank you so much for your videos. I!m a beginner und it helps me a lot. One question: How did you fix the heads onto the screws?

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

I'm glad to know these help! As far as sticking these guys down, it's just blu-tac. It doesn't need to be particularly sturdy or permanent.

[@AinemArchtos]

Thank you :-)

[@TurrenciO]

A great master class, thanks 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@therazorrookie8176]

This. Was. Amazing. Thank you!

[@supercharger1958]

foundry,,,foundry...foundry.....lol...ive got about 200 the whole set and there really good ,i just use the shade as a glaze over the base colour then high lights and they turn out like eavy metal..i use a bow pen on terminators........well done china first channel ive seen using foundry

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

I stumbled on to them quite by accident and haven't had an opportunity yet to pick any more up, but I am forever rambling about them to anybody who'll listen. I keep meaning to get my hands on some of the other triplet sets, though I wouldn't know where to begin outside of the skin tones! :D

[@tyrs4you]

Thank you for this it really helped me. I just pained a Barbarian have had some great compliments from some people thank you very much. I mentioned your channel on my U tube I hope that is OK.

[@SonicSledgehammerStudio]

Glad it helped! I don't mind folks sharing around this stuff, especially if you think it'll be useful to others. :)

[@calibanreborn4866]

Wow, your Vids are amzaing. Keep up the good work m8 ! Greetings from Germany

[@unterlegend]

Do you have an easy way to paint eyes too? They have always been my downfall.
