Learn the FUNDAMENTALS of the Grimdark Miniature Painting Style! PART ONE

Howdy Folks!
The first part of my Grimdark Painting Fundamentals Series is an introduction video where I will be discussing the basic ideas of the Grimdark painting style. The main topic in this video will be on the differences between the ever-popular Games Workshop style vs the Grimdark style of miniature painting and will include important information about the various thinners and solvents used in conjunction with oils and enamels.

You're like the Dark Bob Ross. I seem to lose myself watching you paint and then I have to go back because I'm like, "Wait. what did he just say?" Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing.

That has to be the best comment ever! I grew up on Bob Ross and he has influenced my work since the beginning! Thank you.

[@IdahoZombieHunter]

Okay, you've done it. I have ordered some paints, inks and a miniature that is highly detailed in armor and hoses and other little bits. I am way out of my comfort zone with this type of painting, but I love your stuff so much I want to learn it. It's because of people like you that I think this hobby is growing at the rate it is. Thank you.

[@totoro5527]

So glad grimdark is a thing. As a bad mini painter, I often felt like the warhammerTV way (base acrylic, wash, highlight) was the only way and that I wasn't good enough to depart from orthodoxy. Now thanks to you I know there is another way! Thanks so much for the inspiration! Btw my wife and I bought your Lady Olinder tutorial a bit back and boy was that worth it - an eye-opening experience!

[@Gomolon95]

I'd love to see how you do this style on Eldar, as I think they're probably the least grim dark of all the races in terms of models/aesthetics

[@xbg4175]

Coming back to minis after years of ww2 scale models I've been wondering for a while how well a heavily weathered & rusty admech army would fit. You just answered all my question and went well beyond. Amazing work there, Thanks a lot!

I've an entire combat patrol of Death Guard built that's been sitting unfinished fir 8 months because I didn't really have any paint scheme that I liked. Those things are getting things are getting finished in the Grimdark style this weekend. This is awesome.

I'm not even in painting myself (never had the courage or money to get into it younger) but I like to watch videos on the topic and I must admit your work is amazing. The overall aesthetics is top-level and suits the universe perfectly. I'd love to see some Skavens painted this way :)

[@Dante-ot8xg]

I feel like I'm more immersed in the world when I view your models and just get a sense of incongruence with the traditional style on certain GW models. Caul is an excellent example, I'd say. I've been wanting to get into warhammer and miniature painting for a while now and you are a huge inspiration on what I want my army to look like. Now it's just super hard to decide between AOS and 40k

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

The biggest thing i can say for choosing between AOS or 40k is go with whichever will be easier to get friends to play or find local players for

Coming from a background of Eavy-metal style painting where EVERYTHING on the model is painted, I decided to pick up some TOP E'S golden boiz adeptus custodes! I painted my usual style (Never realllly like the "in your face" gold so i washed and brought down the gold to a bronze/copper look) and then found myself going darker, and darker, AND..darker. Boom, gimdark custodes! and I LOVED it! it also made me realise i don't ned to pain't ALL the model, and rather focus on the zenythal to bring in constrast from light to dark.

I would really like a tutorial on a harlequin grimdark, thinking about trying it out but would love some help. 😁😁

[@ihaveasnake]

Great video!! Good point about thinners. I am so tired of people saying that mineral spirits will dissolve or reactivate acrylic paints. Ive literally never varnished my acrylic coats before putting oil washes, and I have yet to see any of the undercoat dissolve. Marco Frisoni also has a video where he shows a plastic sheet painted with acrylics and he puts pure mineral spirits over the entire thing and none of the undercoat dissolved. Like you said, nothing is dissolving, but if you are having problems then the acrylics either aren't fully cured or the mineral spirits are getting under the paint.

[@maxbrandt6]

I like the "grim-dark" style much more then the GW style but they do that brighter style mainly for advertising purposes.

[@danzodamanzo8192]

Agreed, the GW style is too cartoony. This is more realistic to me.

[@justinrisen1929]

Fantastic video. Been thinking of trying my hand at the grimdark style for some time now. Btw care to share just how you got the blood splatter effect on the Lady's gown? That is amazing and exactly how I've pictured painting her but could figure out how to make it look that realistic with the blood

[@AnonymousOtters]

I do appreciate the Grim Dark style as presented, although I am personally a fan of a bit more saturation in the colors. Going too far towards the grim-dark style makes the miniatures pretty boring under average lighting and on the tabletop, requiring more intentional staged lighting for the details to pop.

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

I agree. However, the average playing environment does not match the aesthetic. Put this style of miniature on a table top that creates an environment of a similar style and well, perhaps your perspective may change. I guess building a playable surface that truly demonstrates the destruction of war is a difficult task, but I personally have always tried to make my table tops look the part. I feel like this is an aspect of the hobby that is severely lacking. Maybe I should make some tables and document the process.

[@daygoo053]

@@GrimdarkCompendium you should that would be super bad ass! Then we can see the entire grimdark scene🤘

[@josephbickley8933]

You can also add an isolation coat of clear varnish between your acrylic layer and your weathering layer. Hi can do this multiple times. Do enamels last. Also you can use Windsor Newton or other artists oils, just use a piece of cardboard as a palette - the cardboard will take out the excess linseed oil. Also, don’t use Series7 brushes with oils and enamels - you’ll shorten the life of the brush significantly. Get some Princeton 4050 (I think) artificial sable to use with oils and enamels

[@ryanhampton2352]

Also like when using the sreaking grime, could this be applied with a brush and still get the same effect

[@edubbleu1]

Love your work Any tips on drying the I’ve bought some 502 Abteilung oil paints I use a blow dryer but if I add some highlights in acrylics it doesn’t stick and forms droplets what should I do and what airbrush nozzle size should I use

[@jasonrhome710]

My Google Fu is weak, but I recall seeing a site where the model painter used cardboard to extract the linseed oil from his canvas oils to get them prepped for making washes. (Thought I had saved that, gah!) He just but dabs of the paint onto raw cardboard and let the oils get leached out for a while. May be worth trying for the folks having trouble getting their hands on the brand discussed in the video here.

[@MutsuKazuma]

@Brique Zallivam also imagine doing the games workshop detail level and then using a grimdark finish, you stell get the grimy look but with a lot more detail, grimdark doesn't mean lack of effort or detail work as he tries to sell it here

[@Nobleshield]

I usually dislike using oil paints but after seeing this I'm not so sure anymore. I love the Blanchitsu style.

[@jostonpowell1346]

I would be really interested in learning how to apply the grimdark color scheme to a model with more flesh. Most of the videos you have are mainly armor and I am not complaining cause I love them. Just something different with more flesh tones would be interesting to learn how to do. I have been watching your videos since the first Death Guard video you posted that is no long on here. You have been a HUGE inspiration to me on the way I paint currently.

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Appreciate it!! I will cover flesh in a series at some point.

[@jakoballan2768]

I find one of the the best ways to paint grimdark flesh is to paint it in something other than fleshtones. Reds, greens and other colors to make your stuff look a little funkier is always fun.

[@jostonpowell1346]

@@jakoballan2768 I have been experimenting with zenythol highlights (Sp? ) then using an airbrush to use blue highlights and purple for shadows. Which leaves a cold dead feel to the skin but doesn't quit fit the rest of my color scheme. I suck at doing pale flesh in general so that is a HUGE weak point I have been working to improve.

[@shogunmage9036]

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Thank you. As long as they cured it will be fine.

[@mastodonseven]

You can put the oil paint on a sheet of cardboard to wick the linseed oil out of it. This reduces the shine and quickens the drying time. You can use any good quality oil paint for models, the pigment is actually the important part.

[@DuyTran-xk6qo]

thanks for your tutorials. I'm wondering if it's ok to go with those water mixable paints from W&N (as I paint in door, as my desk)

[@elkglenn1013]

There is a Euro Painter, loves the Bianchu Style, and Grimdark is an evolution of that, but antecedent to your furthering work, I am reminded of my adopted uncle Hunter S Thompsen, "Blood Brother" to my true uncle Earl Biss, a painter in his own right, worth looking up when it comes to hues, shades, tones, and opacities. Thompsen's favorite artist, and his illustrator back in Rolling Stone was a man named Ralph Steadman. I understand your work, though on a game table at four feet it would appear like a greasy smudge, your "realism" the rust and what armor really does look like in the artificial light of a space cruiser. You are highly proficient, dedicated to your style, and humble .... I just hope you pack some bear spray or C/N gas so "you" feel safe and go for a walk barefoot through the grass now and again. In the end H.R. Geiger was reduced to a shut in that just drew dead baby skulls over, and over again. Try and hold to the notion that your work, your depictions of tone shade shine opacity and artificial shadow and light does not consume you. just an alternative view. As for which is more valid - call a quorum of crazy people.

I just recently found your channel and website and very much prefer this aesthetic to the box art style. I would classify myself as an intermediate painter, but up to this point have used what I would call the GW method. I am very interested in your style. I currently hobby in a basement room with little outside ventilation. Could you give a brief description of which methods could be implemented safely and would not require the addition of a ventilation system? The Mrs. would not be happy with fumes in the basement leaching up through the floor in to the rest of the house lol.

[@GrimdarkCompendium]

Hi. In my Amazon list (link in the description) there are a couple options for filtration. If you have a window or door at the least that leads to the outside you can pick up a small hobby airbrushing booth. Another option would be the "shop fox" which is what I use all the time to keep the air filtered.

[@benzelrhomb]

Invest in some sort of air ventilation my man. Its a fundamental part of this style. Save your respitory system 😅👍
