I would buy a print of each one of those in a blink of an eye. Beautiful.

I swear those blues against these brownish tones are so sexy. Thank you for uploading, Clint.

[@AlbertFisk]

Hey man. I did this as an exercise with acrylics and it came out great. Thanks for teaching me an easy way to paint this type of metal / texture and also introducing me to armor painting =D. Super inspiring! Thanks for sharing!

[@Swatches]

That's fantastic, glad it helped out!

[@TobyFoxArt]

It’s great that you’re uploading videos like this! The streams are brilliant, but as something to go back to for reference these videos are perfect.

[@al-919]

nothing on youtube better tutorial for metal paint than these awesome videos, thank you Cearly!

[@n-credible0753]

This is incredible! I wish the video had higher quality resolution 😭

[@larasimat]

I have watched your series on metal about 20 times but how you naturally shade is astonishing to me! I have tried to replicate it but it doesnt look as natural

[@arttest0156]

Can you make a video on how you work with references and if there's a proper or simple ways to use them. I've tried using references but most of the time I'm having problem transferring (textures, material effects, etc) from the reference to the painting.

[@Swatches]

I have a video entitled References that covers several points on the topic. Why are you finding it difficult to reproduce the referenced materials (so I better understand)?

[@arttest0156]

I think it's how the light and shadow affect the materials that I'm having difficulties with. If i have a leather material reference or rusty metal (like what you painted in this video) I have the feeling that I need to do a little bit more research on how these things react to light rather than just looking at their reference. In most cases the concept I have in mind has a different light setup and color, where my reference has a difference light setup as well.

[@fiskooriginal]

I really enjoy how you paint

[@charlottedou4347]

I love love love the finish of the helmet!!!

[@julesmartin6972]

Important note here is that you don't just follow recipes to paint something but observe reference, understand it and then paint it

[@Claudia_B]

This is brilliant, you are brilliant,I'm gonna' stick around ✨️ !

[@derkater5489]

Brilliant, thanks a lot!

[@punkandrockgirf]

Thank you! Do you think you could make a video about paneling? Like how mechs, droids, etc. Are detailed with panels to contour the forms that make them? Thanks, love your content!!!!

[@Swatches]

I hadn't considered that but I'll add it to the list. Is there a particular issue about rendering them you find difficult or interesting?

[@YouKnowImOnMyPeriodYah]

Wow, it’s so simple, well if you think about it

[@sarahmedouni8844]

these are so helpful, thanks.

[@edsfoxart]

NIce video! I love the way it turned out :)

[@12ovos]

Great stuff!! Thaks for shared!

[@strongkiddo1]

Amazing video! Love it 😍 ❤️❤️ thank you so much!

[@Swatches]

Thanks for watching!

[@onzkicg]

Awesome dude..just awesome!

[@Rev0care]

amazing! i've been realizing through watching these that i never use burn and dodge. any good resources on how to factor those into your workflow?

[@Swatches]

They essentially do the same thing as the Levels palette (adjusting the values within a range) but you paint with it instead of a blanket application like Levels. I use it mostly to punch up highlights or deepen darks but only if it's a small adjustment. Large value changes likely require a change of color chroma and saturation as well and when Dodge/Burn are used too heavy-handedly it results in fake, fuzzy shadows and lights.

[@jijisub]

Nice vidéo, Thank you. Merci beaucoup, cela va beaucoup m'aider.

[@Coolcanny]

God bless I need to draw object with metal

[@akibahmed4251]

wow

[@gothmedli]

thank uuuuu

[@xander7099]

In regards to the highlights and dodge and color change brush, is there a way to achieve this in Clip Studio Paint pro/EX?

[@Swatches]

Sorry but I don't use Clip Studio Paint enough to know that answer

[@onzkicg]

What pencil device are you using?

[@janicedelosreyes3205]

1 and 3 is downloadable, this one isnt.. can you make this downloadable? here in youtube

[@Swatches]

I'm confused, where is the download option normally show up for you? Is this something that is part of KZbin or is it through a video downloader plug-in?

[@zaidaliahmed7869]

bruh why these look like warframes? xD

[@flippy211]

O_O AWSOME!

[@gcastro3d]

Clint, do you have a discord?

[@Peteru69]

Swatches discord, yes. But it's pretty empty these days and Clint has no mods which is a huge problem now and again. People come in and spam-troll (not sure why or how they figured that it was a good idea when other art communities never experience any trolling). I don't remember if I got access through Patreon or Facebook (or the video description of another video). But it's useful when doing the weekly challenged. I think he's busy these days. And probably has a hard time finding trust-worthy mods.

[@aliciaolivas797]

What software do you use? Photoshop?

[@Swatches]

Yes, Photoshop with a stylus pad.

[@condensedmilk1723]

this some warframe type shit

[@Tajiri1986]
