Great as always. Fits my style od painting. When It comes to shading red I really like using base Red+green to get deep, desatursted Red.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Nice idea!

[@Spongemonkey26]

Yeah I got the green as a shade foe red from that Darren Latham red armor tutorial. Otherwise I love using Wazdaka red for cloth, very rich, deep red.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Yeah, I used Incubi Darkness to shade the cape of my Specter Knight and it's beautiful

[@youtousim]

Appreciate that this technique leaves the recesses of the cape a bit brighter than the surrounding shadow. I feel like this is something that should be explicitly noted though, as most tutorials I see on YT omit this detail entirely. Even though I feel it adds a lot of realism while still being subtle and rather easy to implement. I am sure this red looks even more stunning in real live than on camera. Though i found that adding a light transparent filter of purple (the old warplock purple from citadel was great for that, but i'm sure there is a modern substitute) adds even more visual interest, especially contrasting with orange highlights. While (again) being very subtle. edit: I used a similar orange for my highlights for a long time, but found that a slightly more muted colour like Tau Light Ochre feels more coherent on cloth for the final highlight, for reasons unbeknown to me. P.S.: Please tell me when to stop. : D

[@dave87831]

Hi and thanks for another lovely video! I've been watching your videos for a while and I keep noticing the colors you use do you have set recipes for each colour? Or do you just a spectrum of paints for example Red and you just move up or down the range of colours to suit the type of red you want? The reason I ask is I'm not sure of I should develop my own separate recipes for bright, medium and dark for colour or a range of maybe 7-10 paints for each colour.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

I don't have set recipes, in fact for each video I like to change the recipes just for the sake of not repeating myself. Develop your own preferences and experiment

[@gferenc2010]

Merry Christmas, Juan! Feliz Navidad! You uploaded this video just when I was about to paint the cape on the Red Guard from Gloomhaven. Perfectly timed gift, thank you! A beginner's question: what if I don't have the two orange colors you use towards the end? Can I mix the two red layer paints you're using earlier (Evil Sunz and Wild Rider) with Jokaero Orange and use them for highlighting? Or maybe use the reds with some yellow, like Yriel Yellow?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

You can most definitely mix them for sure I would just add some yellow and some white (important to use both to desaturate the mix) to Wild Rider Red in two stages.

[@Jomsviking_84]

I love your work 😊 how would you paint a member of the warband skyrar's' dark wolves in 40k 😊

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Well they are mostly black so use the black legion video I have

[@wampower6848]

Thanks! I was wondering if you wanted to add a fraying effect (I play Deathguard), what color would you recommend? I’ve used a drybrush of Zandri Dust.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Yeah, that sounds good to me yes. Any sandy colour will work very well

[@petesouthall9224]

I'm hoping you can help, I have two questions, firstly, how many layers of the Mephiston Red glaze should I expect to be applying to get to the point you got to? Secondly, when you do the edge highlighting, is it with the same glaze of paint or a slightly stronger mix? Hope you can help.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

As many layers as you need, there isn't a number I can give you. For the edge highlights, less diluted paint of course

[@petesouthall9224]

Thank you, that's awesome.

[@lokiofasgard312]

I’m new to painting - how does one thin down citadel paints? By the time I get my scoop of my second color my first is like 95% dried. I live in a very high alt with forced air. I’m just a bit adverse to messing up my paints. Any tips would be appreciated

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

First of all, get or make a wet palette, it's a game changer. Secondly, I just use water to thin my paints, with the exception of Contrast and Shades that I use Contrast Medium. Hope that helps

[@lokiofasgard312]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures any tips on thinning with water? I guess visually? Is there a way to tell if it’s too thinned or what’s just right? Bought myself a wet pal - heard all the news about them so I’m pumped to try it!

[@corfe123]

Gorgeous but I'd leave it after glazing with Mephiston was done. The effect Was better w/o further edge highlighting imo.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

You are of course free to stop whenever you want along the tutorial but I prefer to go all the way in for that crispy Eavy Metal style that I personally prefer.

[@sprucemoose6311]

Did you use any glaze medium on any of the paints? What was the consistency of the paints used?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

No medium, just water. I recommend you watch the full length video where I go into more detail and I think I show the consistency used kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6icmnefdqyBo6s

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Thank you so much! Could I use a glaze medium instead or in addition to water if I wanted more time to blend the lighter and darker colors?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Yeah! Adding medium is always an option and never a handicap

[@Whorabl3]

Great vid, just a silly question: Do you paint the base coat over a your primed mini or is the basecoat acting as the primer? Edit: and if you use a primer, which one do you like?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

This was just Mechanicus Standard Grey spray over bare plastic. That's a primer. As for my favourite one, well, it depends on what going over it, but Greyseer and Wraithbone are as good as primers get over plastic

[@Whorabl3]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures oh my bad, for some reason I didn't think that was a primer! I'll give it a go.

Thanks for another cool video! How did you get that flesh tearers red initial coat so smooth? I tried using it and I always get a splotchy mess!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Over Mechanicus it doesn't make a mess, it has the same colour over the highlights and the shadows, super smooth dark red. As for lighter colours, you are probably using a too small brush or having too little paint on your brush.

[@carnajom8831]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures thanks! Maybe I should try a different undercoat, I was using it more like a wash over red.

[@BrettParsons66]

Wonderful video as always, Juan! Rosemary & Co. says on their website that they can't ship Series 33 brushes to the US because of a ban on importing sable hair products. They offer their other two lines though, so I'll probably grab one of them. Quick question though; it looks like you're using "long" size 3 as your primary brush. Is that right and do you have any preference between long or normal length brushes for mini painting?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

When they specify long or short they are referring to the handle. Long is always for canvas painting, avoid that. It's VERY long

[@timmanning5206]

Is it a standard size 3 then? I love r and co but that's an especially good tip for the size

[@lanesteele240]

Means the same as in every other case, highlighting the volumes as opposed to just the edges. I do also highlight the edges but you get the point

[@Belgianbanshee]

Is there a reason why you only use citadel paints? There are so many pigment rich colors to make vibrant red.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Well because, and I will fight for this, Citadle makes THE BEST REDS in all of hobby brands. And by a very long shot as well. People don't give Citadel enough credit, usually all the contrary (and completely unjustified BTW) but their reds are outright MAGNIFICENT. The only other red I ever use is Kimera The Red (and probably Scale75 artist range red since they use the same pigment) and to be fair to Citadel, Evil Sunz is just slightly less vibrant than the Kimera, the difference is so small that outside paint nerds no one will even notice it. As for other hobby brands, all Vallejo's Reds are awful, pure sadness in a bottle and the red of the brands are in the same line although better than Vallejo. The only way to get a better red is to move into artist paints and get Cadmium based pigments and I refuse to get those with a small child in the house and also I would never use them for the channel anyway because they are not accessible or affordable to everyone.
