[@matthinton19]

[@vallejocolors]

Amazin tutorial, was looking for it for few weeks, and now, here it is!

[@toncitvrde4971]

Great work... This is one and only right on tutorial what ill found on youtube. Most of them are half doned and begginers cant realise to much... Especialy when they are work of famous world miniatures masterminds what is product of whole life expirience based on oil colors.... This video show right way in simple things with smaler palets of color aviable from Valeyo manufacturer what is simpliest amd less difficult then mixing various oil color and that is long experience way. Thx alot once again these video really improwe my work....

[@jaumeortiz4767]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@chriscollett6875]

Excellent tutorial video (although I agree about the music!). Could you explain how you thin the paint during the painting stages - I find it very difficult to achieve the right balance between thin enough to paint fine lines or points but not so thin that it doesn't seem to have any effect! I see, off loading the brush is vital to avoid flooding and pooling (things I also achieve regularly...) Thanks again.

[@MrKersey]

Amazing tutorial and brushing skills, thanks a lot!

[@TheTroopersCorner]

Excellent work! Very lifelike! I like the music BTW....

[@Hori_Ado]

Finally something I was looking for as a user of Vellejo set dedicated to painting skin/faces. The leaflet included in the set is very poor, but this video is excellent.

[@sharps7411]

Very good tutorial. Thanks for sharing !

[@АлександрБарков-н8и]

Fantastic guide, thank you very much!!!

[@huzun8493]

I found your painting for FeR miniatures, that's great.

[@modelnut]

Brilliant insight as to use the various shades. 👍🏻

[@7979phantom]

what i like at your painting process is you show us which colors you using on the plate each time -nice!

[@elenagalesso]

Great tutorial! Thank you!

[@ScaleModelAlberta]

Fantastic painting tutorial, horrible choice in background music.

[@tiozebraminis6725]

you've got to be kidding me! The soundtrack is almost - almost! - as good a the painting guide!

[@JohnRBIV]

@@tiozebraminis6725 yeah i like it too

[@davidnash1220]

Totally agree 👍

[@ralphrenzetti22]

What primers and colours where used before you started the face painting? How do you keep your paints from drying up

[@jaumeortiz4767]

Hi Ralph!. I always prime the figures with Vallejo's Hobby Paint Black spray can

[@jaumeortiz4767]

I don't do anything special to avoid paint drying up. Adding some water regularly, paint remains wet the time needed to paint the whole face...around three hours

[@269ss9]

What color is painted on the black primer? Brown sand?? Did you spray this brown paint with an airbrush? Thank you for always posting wonderful and informative videos.

[@jaumeortiz4767]

Hi!. Yes, A base coat of Brown Sand was applied by airbrush before starting the brushwork...I've noticed I didn't mention it in the begining of the video...I'm sorry...still learning...

[@sebhastien5001]

It looks like oil paint. Great work !!! What is the color of the base layer (humbrol 63)???

[@vallejocolors]

Hello Seb, we only produce acrylics. You can take a look at our ranges and colors on www.acrylicosvallejo.com

[@Cochise_Chiricahuas]

Very nice ! Thank you !

[@mouz.geforce418]

how to draw the eyes of 1/35 scale figures?

[@stevekotz3464]

Great tutorial! I will use it along with your Osprey book. but what about painting the eyes?

[@jaumeortiz4767]

I'll do a video about painting eyes soon

[@alexdoe5627]

Is every step a single coat of paint?

[@Alessio_DAndrea]

Great video! But why did you skip the eyes? 😔

[@jaumeortiz4767]

because I'll make another video about it

[@chucklamb3496]

Very instructional video but the background music is very distracting! 😎

[@malcolmeccles3783]

Has the face been primed first then a base colour?????

[@vallejocolors]

Yes! Always prime your models before painting them :)

[@kkanaaaa]

Great tutorial but one question, where did you get the model?

[@jaumeortiz4767]

Not easy to get it nowadays since is out of production...you might find it in eBay...

[@paulbryson1692]

i find one-week i do good face next week not so good could you recommend some brushes

[@vallejocolors]

Hello Paul! The choice and use of brushes is based on very personal tastes, but in this case, possibly Jaume has used a daVinci brush

[@rouiemoran]

is that a base color or a primer before you start painting the head?

[@jaumeortiz4767]

It's a base coat of Brown Sand color

[@davidfield9978]

Best video by far but i don't know what I'm doing rong but my face is still coming out brown even with the highlights.

[@vallejocolors]

Hello David, painting faces requires sometimes to try again and again. Dont be disappointed, you can do it!! Try to mix a little of the last color with the next highlight reference until you have a lighter color if it helps 💪🏻👏👏

[@davidfield9978]

@@vallejocolors Thanks.

[@thenoobsimmervr1403]

Great tutoria. Thanks. Could you precise the type of brush and number.

@@jaumeortiz4767 Hello Jaume, una técnica fantástica, gracias por compartirla. Podrías ser más específico en el pincel? es que hay varias series "Maestro" de Da Vinci. Gracias!

[@darrengawle6583]

Thank you for making this video! What is/are your light source(s) while painting, and where are they positioned in relation to the face while you're painting it?

[@jaumeortiz4767]

Hi!...I used two lamps placed 45º in front and each side of figure

[@stevebrodie1868]

amazing work and tutorial , what size brush were you using ?

I'm still waiting for how to draw eyes

[@vallejocolors]

Hello lIlllIIlIIllIIIl! Although we have noted your proposal for the next videos, we think this link we posted some time ago may help you :) instagram.com/p/CSHgYvCN6bc/

[@vallejocolors]

@@lillliiliilliiil3635 You're welcome :)

[@artsmodelstation9396]

Can this technique apply also to 1/35 scale ?

[@vallejocolors]

Yes!

[@HarryHafsak]

22:20 you didn't paint anything in black and you skipped right over the eyes, I came here for the eyes lol

[@vallejocolors]

Hello Zachary! Ohh.... sorry for not including eye painting. Anyway, here is a video that Angel Giraldez prepared some time ago for painting eyes on models. In this video, you have the list of Vallejo colors used :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGK2YqZqZdVqrck

[@jedmfonseca]

So, for 23 minutes we watch him doing tiny strokes of paint. Ok…. And then, by magic, the eyes appear finished. Ok…

[@vallejocolors]

Hello Jedmfonseca! If you are looking at how to paint eyes, you just have to let us know ;) Here you have another video where this is done ➡ kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2jGZ5dur6ufkMksi=b2kcjY_NO429vHTr&t=588 We hope this is exactly what you were looking for

[@jedmfonseca]

@@vallejocolors Hello, thanks for your reply. The video you mention is great, but it regards a 75 mm figure, not a 54 mm as the one on this video. So, I think we all agree that is much simpler to paint eyes on a larger scale, but the real challenge is to be able to paint eyes with such a fine detail on a tiny figure in 54 mm. And that was what I thought I would find out (How to paint a 54 mm face, the eyes being for sure the harder bit).

[@brycec.4156]

WTF! Painting the eyes is the hardest part IMHO, but he skips that. He fades out at around 22:21, and comes back at 22:22 and the eyes are finished. Is it there and I missed it?

[@vallejocolors]

Hello Bryce! We will take note of your comment so our artist will be advised to prepare a video about how to paint eyes ;) Thank you for your feedback!

[@jaumeortiz4767]

Hi Bryce C.!...I didn't include the eye painting process because I'm preparing a video on how to paint eyes in different scales. Stay tunned!

[@mrdoohickey4824]

Wonderful brush work. But the awful cheesy 60s porno music is a buzz kill for whole show. Silence is a great adjunct to concentration. The music adds nothing to your artistry.

[@vallejocolors]

We're glad to know you like the painting process!

[@gordonenquist36]

Sorry, gave video a thumbs down, a skilled painter yes, end result a matte face in bland colors. A human face (skin) is oily as is leather and animals, they have a sheen. Acrylics are great for base-coating and uniforms (red coats don't shine). So I will stick to my oils and have realistic faces and use my acrylics for other purposes. Cheers

[@KH-wy7le]

Why can't you call the scale of the figure by what it is known globally as? Ie 1/35? Rather than this rediculous '54mm'.

[@greenthousands]

Because it’s 54mm or 1/32 scale. Conversion charts are widely available.

[@csh5414]

Because the Figure is Historex or Andrea, who have been making metal figures in mm long before 1/35 etc. 54mm is actually 1/32, so you are wrong. Ridiculous comment based on ignorance.

[@mammodelclub269]

Great Video. Thank you!
