How to Paint Faces For 28mm Napoleonic Miniatures

How To Paint Faces For Napoleonic Miniatures

[@BrushQuill]

A nice guide to painting face Justin. Afraid I'm an old painter with my base, highlight, wash, highlights. Interesting use of the contrast paint though to create extra depth.

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Cheers Cal I may go back to the old way though as I feel using contrast paints I'm not getting better as a painter/artist

[@NicGamz]

Great tutorial, well done. I agree, prime white or bright colour is more easy to paint. The paint is more bright then over black primer. 👍👍

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Thank you Nik

[@JohnnyIsAwesome]

Thank you so much for this video. I was trying to paint the faces with my paint brush but it was too big for it so thanks for the tutorial❤️

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Glad it helps

[@malcolmrose3361]

So, you've mixed Nuln oil and Agrax Earthshade because you think the results are better with a blend and the Nuln Oil is too dark, and the Agrax too brown. If you use those straight out of the tin with your technique what do the results look like? I'm thinking for things like Afghans.

[@basicminiaturepainting]

If you're thinking of afgans just use agrax but either would work as.no ones skin tone is the same plus they're your miniatures

[@svenhassel8178]

Very helpfull Video.Thanks a Lot from Germany!

[@basicminiaturepainting]

@@svenhassel8178 thank you my friend from Germany

[@granapriego]

Nice technique mate , if you are contrast orientated. Although I have been tempted By 4 or 5 colours I have held off of contrast paints.

[@basicminiaturepainting]

I think out of the contrast range I use 5/6 the rest is Vallejo

[@granapriego]

@@basicminiaturepainting Would not surprise me if the colours I would get are the ones you already have lol.

[@keithgrant9465]

Nice tutorial Justin, I spray white, GW elf flesh and then just a wash, sort of in between the two ways you did, not as light as you do, but not the slap it on method either, :)

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Cheers Martin

Hi Justin yes very similar to how I paint faces except I applied the wash after .so now I will try it the other way round and get better results . Thank you for sharing this with the community .take care my friend Terry.

[@basicminiaturepainting]

You're very welcome terry

[@garywakeley]

Excellent tutorial, a list of your paints used in the description would be great although your summary covered it very well. Thanks for sharing. Regards Gary

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Glad it helped I'll make a list and reply to this comment later

[@adrianhoward284]

Thank you, just ordered Guilliman Flesh, usually do a black base so white on faces will be new for me, already have the washes so that's a bonus. Always up for trying a new method and am interested to see the results. Great videos, l have watched many of them but the first time l have commented, keep them coming.

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Glad it helps mate

[@lucioquinziocincinnato7984]

Great tutorial Justin. Really interesting. 🙂

Cheers Jim much appreciated

[@WoofyMcDoodle]

I havent tried those speedpaints yet since I have a lot of normal vallejo and citadel paints, but the result looks very quick and promising. You can easily do a top highlight with Kislev flesh on the nose and chin too to get some extra pop if needed. Gonna get some guilliman flesh and try that out myself :)

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Thanks for watching

[@philRminiatures]
