You're NMM is pure perfection, much like that sweet sculpt.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks mate 😘

[@Blottingpaper]

You make this look so simple! I'm still at the learner phase, I still find myself not knowing how my paint will look after applying it. I can see with your paint jobs, you're like the sculptor who can see that statue in the stone already and you're just helping it to be free. I hope to one day have the same ability to know and see what I want my minis to become.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Yeah, that's a perfect way to describe it! Thanks for watching and keep on painting

[@Taialth]

What a beautiful way to phrase it.

[@WolfwoodX13]

Incredible! Finally a tutorial on nmm copper that's explained thoroughly. Definitely has motivated me to pick up the brush and give this a go. Keep up the great work man!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks mate, I always do my best to explain things in depth. Check the others out!

[@shaunyams]

one of the best display of NMM, clearly explained both verbally and visually. Well done.

[@Hansik_squigWH]

This is a really nice and simple tutorial and I think it turned out amazing. I really like the tutorial because it's so short, most tutorials are really long but yours are short and I like that

Your control with edge highlighting is incredible to me.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks, it's just practice

[@stevensass3933]

Thanks for this. Your technique takes out much of the approximation common in other methods. You’re a true artist!

That's what I try. I work hard to develop recipes that are as repeatable as possible. Thanks for watching 😘 and I'm glad I could help you

[@Kohlenstofffasermonster]

Just started again with warhammer 40k and really like your videos! When I stopped the hobby 11 years ago there was hardly anything on the web and now youtube is full of warhammer stuff xD but yours are truly beneath the top 10

Awesome!!! I have tried to look for some tutorials of copper NMM, but i never found one! Many thanks for your advices! Your tutorials helped us to improve!

Thanks for watching!

[@srsgoblin]

The best part about Copper is it's the polar opposite of Blue.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

So beautiful

[@srsgoblin]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I hadn't got to that part in the video yet but the Incubi Darkness addition into the shadows is genius. I've seen other painters do something similar. Adding a dark contrasting tone into your shadows for NMM increases visual interest. Another example I've seen of this was in Sorastro's video on Thanos. He added purple tones into the NMM Gold he did for the armor and it looks wonderful. You always impress, my dude!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks, I've been wanting to experiment with temperature contrast for a while and this seemed like a great place to start

[@nukem8128]

Amazing. While complex you make it look doable for average painters. This inspires me to try NMM which I've tried to avoid

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Nice! Do it, I used to be in your boat, too afraid to try it and now look. Don't be afraid of paint, it can't hurt you

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks, I really encourage you to do it. You will learn a lot just by trying

[@lowleypeasentmr.l8836]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures I've painted 12 minis before. Is it too soon to start trying?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

It's never too soon, you get better by TRYING to get better. If you never push your limits, you never improve

[@lowleypeasentmr.l8836]

Thanks for the kind remarks and also the quick response times. My friends and I have started playing d&d together and one is playing a copper dragonborn. Should I try to go with that in a non metallic metal colour or should I stick with easier metals for my first try?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Copper is fine but I would recommend you start with something easier like a Space Marine, they are super easy to do in NMM due to the simple shapes

[@andrewmarkowski308]

I really enjoy your NMM tutorials and appreciate that you make them in so many colours. Could you make one in a more brassy colour, somewhere between this one and your gold one, and maybe include a vallejo colour equivalents, it would really help for my upcoming project. Thanks a bunch for these videos!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Brass is complicated and I honestly doubt I will make it as I record these videos while I paint my Shovel Knight Stormcast and none are that colour. But who knows? As for Vallejo equivalents, I have very few Vallejo Paints sorry, I have no idea

[@womblissimo6666]

Hey Juan - PMP brought me here - and I'm a fan .. hit the subscribe right away .. First of all - you are a far better painter than me - so I feel kind of wrong offering a critique .. I learned some important new things in this video - so thank you for that - blocking out highlights and then shading into and out of them - I have to go away right after this comment and start doing that myself - for real! .. I got to about 8:30 and thought "this is utterly fantastic" .. but honestly - when you started into the edge highlighting and then the further highlighting - it felt too heavy .. I would love to see a slightly smoother transition into the highest highlights .. however amazing work .. I already feel like a better painter without picking up a brush.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks! That's me personal taste on painting, I know it's not for everyone but it's what I enjoy. 😊 You can always modify the recipe to fit your own style

[@Ed-xo9pc]

So drinking your paint water! I knew there was a secret to being an awesome painter! Do you drink the normal paint water? Or do you mix in the metallic paint water too? Does metallic paint water make things taste and feel shiny and fizzy?

[@aleksanderk6311]

So how many passes of glassing did you apply till 3:41 Sir?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

No idea but around 4 or 5 in some areas and maybe 3 in others for each glaze

[@MINEISALWAYSBIGGER]

Wonderful work! I really want to try this out on a Necron Overlord. The only issue I have is I cannot figure out where to put the highlights. I find it hard to imagine where they should go. Are you planning on doing any necron NMM to sort of illustrate how to apply it on more cylindrical shaped surfaces?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

No sorry, best thing os to get some references. A lot of people have done NMM Necrons so you should have an easy time. Also check out Darren Latham Blog where he does into detail of where to place Highlights and shadows razzaminipainting.blogspot.com/2016/07/non-metallic-metals.html?m=1

A bad tip can be caused by several things: 1- a bad quality brush 2- a bad sample of a good brush 3- you destroyed it by letting paint get into the ferrule 4- the brush is overloaded Only you can tell which one of those applies to you
