In this video we’re teaching you how to paint Blood Angels! We’re approaching it with high quality drybrushing, exactly 1 year after we painted our first on the channel; we’ve learned quite a lot since then, and the goal here was to do a slightly less showroom red mini, this guy’s been through the wars!
In order to achieve this we’re covering several amazing painting tips and tricks, to help you level up your red, as well as some general power armour tips 😊.
- Drybrushing power armour
- How to keep red red!
- How to use satin Vs matte finish on miniatures to suggest hard/soft areas
- Contrast glazing (this is a real hack!)
- Using basing elements to contrast and enhance your miniature

I think I have watched 3/4 of your videos and this one is the best imo. Because you are drybrushing on flat area, without having any texture, and keeping recesses dark. I spent sooooo many time trying to fully paint an ork skin like this and I never got something nice. I guess I'll keep trying tomorrow ... I would love to see the same technique on a green skin !

I love seeing more accessible methods to get nice looking finishes like this. It isn't how I paint, but I also am painting just to paint. Anything that makes the hobby more approachable and helps people get awesome looking models is good in my book. Have you considered getting a paint handle with an arm? Something like the Rathcore holder. I notice you have a lot of contact with the top of the models while you're painting, a bracing arm would let you still pinch down to get a stable grip on the model but would stop you from having to actually touch the painted surfaces. I can't imagine you're not getting at least occasional damage or issues from that.
@ArtisOpus
@ArtisOpus 2 жыл бұрын
It's a good question man, also super glad you enjoyed the tutorial, sorry for the delay! The holders are a real issue, I love them (especially the pretty/nice to hold Rathcore ones!) but drybrushing is very tactile, and physical, you lose control, stability, and also the mini moves more, which dramatically reduces drybrush final quality. If you pinned the hell out of something, that was chunky it could work, though, or if you're doing 'finishing stages' drybrushing.
@jasonnewman3355
@jasonnewman3355 2 жыл бұрын
@@ArtisOpus fair points. Though I generally move models to an actual holder once base work is done. I don't drybrush a ton but when I do I generally consider it an intermediate step before finish work. For things like airbrushing, drybrushing, initial oil washes, and the like I just keep models on a cork or tacked to a base. I mostly paint one offs and display models, but I've actually been working on a Death Guard army just as an experiment in efficiency. I'm enjoying seeing if I can come up with an easily repeatable, efficient process to put models out at a good pace but to a high standard. While not exactly what you generally do I've had great success in creating the base green with some usage of drybrushing. It's about half a dozen steps from prime to the green being done but the drybrushing has actually let me get away without needing to edge highlight at all. Plus I've been able to sneak in some soft radial highlights to reinforce what is already there from the airbrush work. I diverge some after that into oil washes. I'm kind of surprised you don't make use of them. They are extraordinarily easy and look great, which seems to sort of be your jam. Over a soft drybrush they also tend hugely smooth any graininess that you happen to end up with.

This is a nice evolution of the previous technique. What I'd really love to see though, is if you could build up from a base coat to the final actual color on the last highlights. Like using an Imperial Fist to go from a dark purple in the recesses and build up to yellow on the very last highlight. Use a tech marine or Centurion so you can build the purple to a cool color on other parts of the model.

the super dark shadows look really cool, might well be stealing that idea for my ork army! for the transfers, maybe try just dipping the transfer in the water, wipe excess off on the rim of your water pot, then leave the transfer on the bench for that small amount of water to soak through the backing paper, it takes a little longer, and they can be harder to move around on the surface, but it makes them dead easy to get really flat because there is no excess water underneath for the transfer to float on. I don't actually know if there is any merit to this, so I might be talking out of my backside, but that's how I do transfers, and it works for me, so maybe its worth a shot?

The PVA? I don't understand :) Let me know in another comment, YT is awful for conversation notifications, I miss a lot of replies to replies.

Lol sorry for the no context comment, at 26:09 you said that the pva was looking suspect and I just had to make the stupid among us joke because, someone has to right? (;

A quick glaze (can be a contrast) after is a great way to bring back luminosity

Thanks, man! As ever it's a method, not a recipe, so this is something that should be pretty easy to adapt to taste😊

It's good to see these, and I know you're using it to advertise your products, but at some points it really seems like a hammer->nail issue. Ie. When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Eg. Your shading of the recesses would have been much better with glazing.

It's also about a difficulty level thing, glazes done fast require everything at the perfect level, and a fair degree of knowledge or skill, this approach may not be 'superior' but it is easier to not screw up for beginners, by a long, long way. Take our power sword tutorial for example - it's again maybe not quite as good as a flawlessly glazed sword, but it took 10 minutes, and anyone can do it :)

You lied i bought the brushes, watched the videos and still cant paint for shit..:) No but seriously its really hard when new to not have the paint dry on you becouse im to slow or the brush to have to much water so the paint leave small bubbles.

Haa :D practise practise practise! rewatching this one a few times should really help dude, I do quite a lot to avoid the most common mistakes in drybrushing. 2 optional tips: 1. Go back to terrain 2. Go back to vehicles It's easier on larger stuff to start with, and particularly terrain helps you let go, and disassociate with incorrect ideas from years of built up paint experience :)
