Improve your SKINTONES painting with these TIPS using Kimera Kolors

[@kimeramodels]

There's a repeated part at the beginning that made to the video by mistake. Sorry people.

[@Wijkert]

No worries. Skipping 3 minutes ahead is easy enough.

[@jessefurqueron5555]

Thought I was in a time loop for a minute, for a minute, for a minute…

[@seanclarke8015]

Big respect to any company making tutorials giving advice for using other brands. Shows you really want to just help your customers. I love Kimera - just wish I could get it easily here in the UK

[@kimeramodels]

Thank you, we are first of all artists so yes, we really want to help people. That said, if you are still interested our website has the KK available right now and we ship to UK, it should work just fine. www.pegasoworld.com

[@darthkek1953]

ElementGames UK are godsend.

[@seanclarke8015]

@darthkek1953 yeah, it's my local, they only have the main line stock though - I'm after the signature series paints z

[@kevinkerlin5603]

These are some great tutorials

[@Wijkert]

Definitely interested in a more video's on this topic!

[@nathblues8026]

Ciao Riccardo! This is so great ! Can't wait for the next video ! 👍

[@MotoKingRob]

Really important video for working with RYB+BW primaries to make all the various skin tones and shades, excellent video for beginners and those looking to push up their intermediate game.

[@christophenemeth8546]

A very good tutorial to learn ! Thanks sharing tips and tricks how to use your products. I agree with a second video, deep in skin tones with Expansion Set ;-) Maybe a video about coherence between colors and color schemes for dummies 😂 Thanks again Riccardo !

[@PeterResponsible]

Great tutorial, rewatching this for the 3rd time already

[@kimeramodels]

Thank you!

[@chaoticpainting1507]

wow, thanks so much!! I really appreciated you walking us through this!! I would really like to see more of this, it helps us plebs who haven't had any formal training understand how to use your paints!

[@cyanidebass6519]

thx for starting this channel :)

[@mickaelslomka4629]

Very useful

[@milleniaminis8535]

Great video, I'll probably get back to it often :)

[@ForgottenStreams]

Such a great tutorial! More of this kind, please :)

[@MateuszAdamczyk]

Great tutorial! Can’t wait for more!

[@mattevarnish7455]

Awesome. Thank you so much for the video!! It’s really helpful

[@Iwok81]

Great videos. Really useful to get familiar with the Kimera Kolors but not only (even if that's the goal ^^). An interesting video to understand the approach to painting skin tones using colors other than the standard "skin color set" of the different brands. So well done and thank you.

[@sinesterD1]

I hope there will be more videos like this in the future. Very good video!

[@valentintumarkin2308]

Thank you for great tutorial! Suitable both for beginners and more advanced painters. Watched a number of skin color mixing tutorials, but you touched on points that none of them did (like resaturating highlights).

[@monnubains6184]

This video is fantastic! Thank you for this!

[@viviried8740]

Thanks for this video. Great job!💓

[@allenbenningfield3865]

This is very useful. I have had the base set for about a year and just now really started experimenting the way I should with skin tones. I plan on picking up the expansion soon.

[@kimeramodels]

You'll love our next video then!

[@christophercassidy-schroed9169]

Great video. Thanks

[@halleysonli2041]

love it, also for future contents, could you show the difference between green and red shade of the blue plz.

[@kimeramodels]

We will, the only thing is that it's very difficult to show the difference on camera. The human eye is better equipped to appreciate the difference in mixes sadly.

[@jessefurqueron5555]

Enjoyed it! Hope to see more of these from ya’ll. Thanks Ricardo for taking the time to put it together.

[@docitalicus]

great job, very useful

[@Wijkert]

Great to see the start of this new series! Very cool that you asked the community for topic suggestion. I remember mixing skin tones to be one of the most requested, so makes sense to start here.

[@fangleizhang8469]

Very interesting and helpful video! Looking forward for more videos to come regarding colour mixing of different topics!

[@kimeramodels]

Several of those are already in the channel! Have fun!

[@Wijkert]

32:21 color matching of popular GW/Vallejo paints would be a great idea for a future video! Some suggestions: Model Color Ivory, Ice Yellow, Deck Tan, English Uniform, Dark Sea Blue and GW Rhinox Hide, Khorne Red, Mephiston Red, Incubi Darkness, Rakarth Flesh and Zandri Dust to name a bunch of popular ones. EDIT: or what would potentially be more popular and useful is out of production paints like: Goblin Green, Snakebite Leather and Chestnut ink.

[@kimeramodels]

If only I had those colors 🫠😂

[@Wijkert]

@@kimeramodels what about an in person workshop on color mixing where we learn how to recreate colors by using pure pigments? I would be so down for that!

[@kimeramodels]

We did some of those in adepticon but people are not so interested in those as compared to other topics. So it’s difficult to fill the classes sadly

[@Wijkert]

@@kimeramodels that's too bad

[@kimeramodels]

I made a new one for LVO right now, let’s see how it goes

[@wurgat]

Great videos. This kind of videos are so helpful to get starting. I would love to see more videos like this one. I supported your kickstarter and I'm so exited to get all the colors from the new sets!

[@kimeramodels]

I'm very glad you liked it! Yes more will come in the future, I will alternate with a bit of miniature painting so that people won't get bored to get only one type of content, but for sure you'll get more of these :)

[@davidhintz1249]

Great video!! Semi-gloss has helped with my skin-tone so much!

[@Zolerous]

Are you using the satin medium in the base set?

[@JuandeHaro]

Good video! Thanks!

[@HuntersOA]

This is a really helpful video about skin colour theory. The only things I'd love to see added are examples. I created a lot of experiments such as this and documented the end results in a small booklet with artists grade paper. It holds up really well. But I have no real good references to compare the colours against. I remember miniac painting a Blade mini and the method is really surprising for darker skins. So some indicators / examples on the uses of the displayed colours would help a lot! :)

[@3reshKigal]

The problem with examples is that it takes so many hours to show things. You have several skintone tutorials inside the pegasoworld website and some in this channel that go into specifics. In the future though I’ll try to film myself painting a skintone on a model so you’ll have it as an example, making several skintones from start to finish on several models in a single video is a bit too difficult to do though.

[@HuntersOA]

@@3reshKigal I get that - I just mean painted minis showcased for reference. Not a guide on how to use them. Just add some photos / show them. Ofcourse it would take ages to show everything :) Sorry for not making it obvious. I think even a PDF with some already painted minis would be really nice and just add some markings, that here the shadow colour is the one mixed at whatever minutes in the video. This would not take much, but it would be a really good reference

[@pierluigimarchi8108]

Pls pls pls do some otehr mixing tut...i just switch to the same palette and while i love it, sometime i have found my self think "and now where do i go?"....so explanation at the insight the process are super useful!!

[@kimeramodels]

Sure, do you need a specific mixing palette help? I wanted to do more but I thought making specific palettes (like cold and warm non metallic metal golds) would be boring to watch

[@pierluigimarchi8108]

​@@kimeramodels right now i m struggling alot tryn to Paint autumn grape leaf!! In particular the highlights...there Is some kind of cold and warm contrast but i cant figure out how to go lighter without getting to pastel

[@kimeramodels]

@@pierluigimarchi8108 Maybe you are getting too light and you lost midtones

[@Wijkert]

10:05 do you like to create more saturate shadows in general or specifically when painting skin tones?

[@kimeramodels]

In general is a good idea. Grey shadows will make the pieces look very dull and with no contrast since it’s very difficult to do super saturated lights (because of white). If you want to do a desaturated piece, it’s usually in the mid tones that you need desaturation though, not shadows.

[@MinisByJuan]

Great tutorial thanks for sharing, very interesting, I'll try these experiments. Just a little remark: please use manual focus when you're filming, in the video the palette is sometimes blurry because the camera focuses on Ricardo's hand. 🙏

[@kimeramodels]

Yes the focusing on the hand wasn't good, when painting a model though it shouldn't be a problem. But we will surely experiment on manual focusing.

[@davidyingling623]

Thanks for the great video. I heard thalo blue has crazy tinting strength, and even small amounts massively change the mix too blue. Do you use black to make up for the blue being thalo blue, and having insane tinting strength, because using blue seems more natural especially when using primary colors only. If you do a follow up maybe use ultramarine blue which I think was added in the first big expansion set. Also, I think I'll try this in a art/drawing/watercolor notebook with thick paper that should be able to take the acrylic paint just fine. Maybe noting down what sort of color mixes or how I'm mixing with a pen would be helpful. I've barely touched my Kimera Paints using how hard they are to buy as an excuse to avoid using them, but now I think I'll challenge myself to empty them, and learn more about color mixing/color theory along the way. I'll just buy Golden SoFlat or something else more easily available if Kimera are still out of stock everywhere. Thanks.

[@kimeramodels]

Yes black mixed in is used sometimes instead of blue because that one is too powerful. I'll do a follow up on skintones in the future for sure explaining more things, as it is a very complex topic. Thank you :)

[@sergioconti2398]

Ottima spiegazione, ma bisogna fare come dici molta pratica, mi piacerebbe avere delle informazioni su come scurire o schiarire i colori. Complimenti per il video intetessante

[@kimeramodels]

Grazie, ne ho fatti diversi di video sull’argomento scurire e schiarire. Guarda i video della playlist Video Pills dove c’è anche questo video. Specialmente il video Mixing paints

[@Wijkert]

One suggestion I have is I prefer no music in the background. If you like adding music anyway, than maybe something that is more relaxing than electric guitars. Those can be distracting even if the volume is low.

[@kimeramodels]

We listened. No music in the second video and we are creating a new base from scratch that is more calm. Thank you for your feedback!

[@Wijkert]

@@kimeramodels I noticed! Was very peaceful to watch. Thanks for taking my feedback!

[@lorenzobrugioni]

che tipo di palet usi per pitturare?

[@kimeramodels]

è una wet palette. C'è la spugna sotto imbevuta d'acqua e la carta forno sopra. Ci sarà una palette grande per agevolare i mix nel KS che lanciamo domani: www.kickstarter.com/projects/kimeramodels/tenebrae-nightmares-of-ylia

[@michalnoga8460]

Very good tutorial but I can complain only on low resolution of video. Thanks

[@kimeramodels]

It's in 4k, it took a lot to process though. You can watch it again at a better resolution now.

[@michalnoga8460]

@@kimeramodels Perfect, it sounds good. Thanks

[@blumi73ch]

The tutorial is very helpful, but the Heavy Metal background music is absolutely annoying and distracting from listening from what you are saying 🙉. No one is bothered by silence between your words.

[@kimeramodels]

We changed it in the next videos

[@francycyber792]

Dovresti farne uno in lingua italiana, almeno non perdiamo tempo.

[@kimeramodels]

Che significa non perdiamo tempo?! Se faccio un video in italiano lo guardano 4 persone in tutto 😅
