A year later and this video is still so useful. Your painting astounds me and i aspire to be on your level.

[@RylanStorm]

I appreciate that you don't want to go too realistic and that introducing those blues and yellows can be quite intimidating. My recommendation is to apply your base layer. Then what I do is at a very thin wash of blue using a large brush over the entire model. Then red. Finally yellow. This is a good time to run a little red ink through the airbrush at low pressure to give you some spotting. Now adding your highlights will tone all of that down but still leaves some of that visual interest to the skin tone and you lend up being able to control just how much skin texture you want.

[@Groundeffected]

Thanks for your comment. However I do not paint realistically. I do not want to paint realistically and my clients hired me based on my style of painting so would be a bit crazy to suddenly change the style as soon as the booked a model to be made. Also this video is like 3 years old dude. I’ve done videos covering every single technique for painting skin tones since then. Still don’t like the wash method though

[@Darknynja2]

Another bit of magic by the wizard. Phenomenal job!

[@Groundeffected]

Thanks so much

[@mitchellkruszyna109]

You answered my thinning paints with question in this video and for that, I am grateful!

[@Groundeffected]

Hahaha awesome that’s great news

[@enochdarkk7871]

Ive airbrushed off and on for the last year and I can say what matters is the quality of paint because it affects how well you can thin the paint. Thinning the paint is what turned me off to airbrushing. Spiderwebbing can be dealt with easily by maintaining a certain distance from the model while spraying. As long as the paint doesnt run or pool, you are on the right track. Great video.

[@darrellhood5430]

Groundeffected youtube take over initiative has begun

[@Groundeffected]

It has begun!

[@cardigast]

Forever grateful for the video. The guide to paint skin is great

[@sikahuntingnewzealand1268]

Great video my friend keep em coming

[@rodcortez6781]

Great tutorial

[@ericduchene9065]

Thanks a lot for your video. It is very useful for me, exactly what I try to do : 3D resin and PLA print of the model, airbrush and painting. Do you think we find your acrylic paint in France ? I use a lot StardustColors and Scminkle. Kind regards from Paris. Eric

[@xXGeko1Xx]

I love your work! For someone that doesn’t have an airbrush, can you do this with regular brushes?

[@Groundeffected]

Yes definitely here’s a video of exactly that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXWahKyidquLiNU

[@juniorjoseph8232]

Another great video, to how much pressure is your compressor setup? Out of curiosity , to make sure the layering is effective.

[@Groundeffected]

I range between about 10/12psi all the way up to 25psi

[@rebeltaz123]

I always enjoy your videos. Just curious... what do you do with all of your prints? That is the one thing that stops me from printing more... I do not have room for all of these wonderful models!

[@Groundeffected]

A lot of what you see is commissions so they end up going to the people who have requested them to be made.

[@AtkinandSon]

F**kin awesome again!!

[@Groundeffected]

Thank you dude

[@hiteklolife6111]

Great work man, your results are always awesome. Quick question, do you prefer satin or matt clear coat for protecting the skin's paint job?

[@Groundeffected]

I prefer matt. But it depends on the texture sometimes you want a shiny section etc.

[@mvm3897]

Link to but the STL? I'd like to print one.

[@Groundeffected]

It’s a private commission unfortunately the files aren’t available. Sorry dude.

[@paulopma]

How you did the green jewels effect? It's very nice.

[@neilrennie-ss4pg]

Awesome

[@yagsipcc287]

Great video bud :-) I an still pretty new to airbrushing but I keep my paints pretty thin but I think Il go even thinner with them :-) I am still really careful with it as I am new ha but I do keep my paints very thin when I use a brush, It takes longer but the effect is worth it even with a brush :-)

[@Groundeffected]

Yea defo worth it to take your time and build it up layer by layer

[@edwardostrander3071]

verry nice

[@Groundeffected]

Thank you

[@ashthundercliffe]

super helpful as always man. just curious what size nib you are using for this stuff and what you set your psi to. i know its different per brush etc but just to get a ballpark figure of how low you go :)

[@Groundeffected]

I use .05 I’m pretty sure for almost everything if I were to do miniatures I’d go smaller and I use around 15-25psi go up and down according to how to paints behaving etc.

[@rebeltaz123]

One more question... when you thin your paints down that much, do you not find that there is an adhesion issue? When I thin my paints too thin - and that is WAY less than your thin - the paints tend to flake off much easier!

[@Groundeffected]

Never had any flaking issues at all. And I thin them down to nearly water make sure to seal them in if you are using thin layers.

[@gavinmcshera]

Great video yet again. What size needle you using?

[@Groundeffected]

.5 needle dude.

[@gavinmcshera]

@@Groundeffected Cheers. Thanks Dad

[@robertwilliams1095]

Where can i purchase the files for this model I looked for the link in description and did not see it?

[@Groundeffected]

You can’t buy this one unfortunately. It’s an exclusive sculpt for Djinnwars

[@leanev4019]

Unfair I only just got notification 🔔 😂

[@Groundeffected]

Well you still got to see it.

[@yansmac4796]

Would the purple colour work if it wasn't through an airbrush?

[@Groundeffected]

Yes. I’ve done a video with no airbrush which may be worth a watch I’ll link it for you here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXWahKyidquLiNU

what needle and tip size are you using please also what pressure i no thats paint thin ness (is that a real word ?)

[@mechanical_bob6591]

Some words down here

[@Groundeffected]

Thank you for the words.

[@RType2966]

What colour do you use as your first coat before doing skin tones.

[@Groundeffected]

Black because I’m crazy haha.

[@PuffySofty]

Do I thin my paints the same if using the brush?

[@Groundeffected]

Yea pretty much the same to be honest. Here’s a video of me using only a brush kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXWahKyidquLiNU

[@PuffySofty]

@@Groundeffected Ahh..ive seen that one. Great vid. But I'm curious about when painting large areas of skin, cuz so far for me that's been the most challenging part while only having access to brushes. It just doesn't come out silky smooth, there are areas that have this chalky texture...idk if the problem is my brush or my paint >_

[@Groundeffected]

@@PuffySofty have you tried a medium? Because maybe your paints are breaking up?
