Warhammer style BUT thinking like an artist! Dark Angels - The Lion

[@brianparamore6928]

46yr old brand new hobbyist here. Accidentally stumbled on this video and then went down the NJM rabbit hole because I had no idea what he was talking about regarding color theory in this video. I’ve painted a total of 20 models using the GW way and now i will be emptying my brain and starting over thanks to this channel. I realize I want to learn about art through minis, instead of just “how to paint blood angels”. Howdy from Texas Marco.

[@oktoberbabyfee]

Congratulations for your GD gold medal at Adepticon, Marco! 🎉 Keep it coming!

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Thank you soooooo much!!! 😊😘😊😘

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

A fun exercise in being clean and sharp without betraying my artistic believes 😉and the proof that a style is not made by a workflow but by a clear vision of what you want to obtain! See you later at the premiere and on Twitch immediately after to keep the chats going!!! 😁 www.twitch.tv/marcofrisoninjm Have a lovely day!!! 😘

[@Grimprospect]

I need you to take my airbrush hand and guide me like Patrick Swayze in Ghost to accomplish this! 🤣

[@thorbenol]

I thought the same. His understanding for colours is so insane and he airbrush it like a machine :D

[@Thornspyre81]

AAHAHAHAHAHHAHA I actually pictured it hahaha. Seriously though his airbrush chops are incredible.

[@DarkCastleMiniatures]

😂😂😂😂

[@mighty8357]

Your ugly phase looks better than many finished models painted by us mere mortals

[@ArmyShaper]

That's a fact!

[@TheMiniatureStudio]

The Eavy Metal team definitely DO use airbrushes. :)

[@ShitpostingArchive]

We didnt get any videos for 5 months and here you are dropping 2 in 2 weeks, thank you!!! i love this paintjob

[@foreverfornever1124]

this is the level of painted characters I would like to have some day. This is definitely one of the top 5 painted Lions I have seen so far

[@King_of_Sofa]

Crazy good. You're like the Michael Jordan of mini painting

[@klug5916]

By the way, I would be very cursious of you making something like "neon vibe" or "synthe vib", just by increasing the amazing colors you put on the airbrush. So, basically, you don't with normal color scheme after all the preparation with the airbrush, but goes crazy. With your skills and the understanding of the color theory you always display, I'm sure it would be amazing

[@boolatte5154]

Painting my dark angels and I stumbled upon your channel. I wished I found it earlier before starting. This looks so good! Its like listening to The Count von Count teach me airbrushing

[@harkejuice]

I really love listening you wax on poetic about the process. If you're up to paint another Dark Angel, you might want to try going for Azrael. However there is way more "robe space" on that one so perhaps not a fair comparison.

[@jakessofa8187]

Oh King of Fastness, Marquis of Mobility, The Sutan of Speed, Our Baron of Brisky Briskness, Please continue teaching us air brush/brush nimbility also, great to have regular videos again Cheers

[@saltedllama2759]

GW doesn't do the 'Eavy Metal look because they can't paint with a more artistic approach; some of their top end painters are artists through and through. It's about timeliness, how it photographs in 360 degrees of view for 2-dimensional shots where no one detail is the center of focus, and fits the "basics" of a color scheme that is easier for novice painters to replicate. It has a purpose.

[@marclavergne3899]

Absolutely love the technique and the color theory. 100% want more of these. Makes it seem like anyone can achieve these results

[@KevinoftheCosmos]

Incredible. I love the thought of using thicker paint later on in the process. I never imagined using gouache for mini painting before.

[@Jamgeoso]

Just to note - it's acrylic gauche used here. (Not the watercolour one)

[@ArmyShaper]

@@Jamgeoso Thanks for clarifying this. I was struggling to comprehend the coverage of it.

[@jans5671]

only tutorials worth watching, i learn so much about actual artistry. thank you so much marco. I redid your Abaddon and I am so proud. Lion is next

[@Jamgeoso]

That Abaddon video is great. Congratulations on getting it finished!

[@davewebster5120]

This is amazing! I'm still a poor that can't afford an army and painting has been the other daunting part, but the airbrush really streamlines everything. The people that hate on it are just jealous because it's great results for less work. But that's another great thing about the hobby, you can go as easy or heavy as you want, it's your army.

[@ADhammer]

Painting The Lion fully assembled, absolute madman 🔥

[@AlexGasol]

Holly sh... dude, i'm gonna change the way i use my airbrush....... That's an amazing, amazing paint job

[@marcopritoni7182]

Aside from the execution, what is really mind boggling is the design of the process

[@AdrianKramarzyk]

GREAT APPROACH, I am always amazed how many colours you mix in

[@DS_painting]

The Lion looks awesome! Really cool to see your workflow and which tools/techniques you used to get to the final result

[@jerama]

New painting goal unlocked for the Lion: This. 🤯🔥🔥

[@odynson9618]

Your work is amazing! I like the way how you play with the shadows and the high volume of luminosity.🔥🔥🔥

[@brianring3425]

As a lover of efficiency I have to say I'm really impressed by the outcome. Fantastic work! 😮

[@thorbenol]

Hey Marco, your work is insanly good. I like your understanding for colours and your videos give me the perfect entry to the world of airbrush. Thanks a lot. Keep up the artistic way of life.

[@laixi4904]

painting technics/tricks along with the brilliant script - I always super enjoy your videos

[@philgee486]

That shield is a stunning piece in itself and the cloak is so lovely inside and out. I was right, whatever the sculpt Marco is brings insight and understanding of genuinely remarkable and striking pieces and the processes he uses and why. Yes he has a masterly command of his brush and airbrush but mask up for the airbrush to help match his precision and practice, practice, practice with that brush

[@samcurran1093]

beautiful model marco, and thank you for your annotations of the process. many fun tings to learn!

[@edali131]

Marco's intro always give me motivation energy to paint

[@MrPoppysoabm]

Another masterpiece Marco. I am gutted I missed out on your UK painting class. Sad times😢

[@bpronka]

Is this a revival of an old series? Can we expect more chapters? Very exciting!

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

Confirmed! 👍😊

[@lolaldanee2743]

Signore! I have to say, I really like how the model looked right before you started airbrushing the final step with white. In a way it reminded me of an Adrian Smith artwork, with whom you certainly are familiar. A lot of very flat, yet colourful blocks with only minimal shading, truly, just wonderfull. It's outright bewildering to me that you would call that an ugly phase :D BTW I'm not sure I would qualify this miniature as 'eavy Metal at all to be truthfull, for me that style is defined not only by cleanliness and excessive edge highlights, but also by the minimalistic use of volumetric highlights and painted texture, both of which your artistic soul will never allow you to do ;)

[@MegaDeathToaster]

Dark Angels are getting all the best models. They don't deserve it 🤣

[@victord3867]

I would love to see how you would tackle a 40k vehicle. Like a tank, bike, or dreadnought.

[@connortraynor1643]

If it didn't have a negative impact on your channel I would thumbs down this video so hard. Not because I don't like it, but because it looks so incredible and I will never have the skills to pull this off. Fantastic video & fantastic take on one of my favourite models!

[@YeeWhoEnterHere]

Best application of colour theory ever.

[@simplyshaws]

Emperor smiles on us this day, Angel of oil preaches.

[@MEchanicAL_LSTAR]

Such an amazing artist. Looks spectacular.

[@Svedsken]

This looks outstanding. Again, to see how the mini comes to life after the truly ghastly ugly phase… WOW!

[@ZombieApocalypse09]

Marco's "ugly model phase" is so weird. It feels off for a long time then you blink and suddenly it looks incredible.

Wouahhhhhh !!!!!! Magnifico !!!!! Bravo !!! bravo !!! ..... may be i will have the same result after 5-6 lifes or more of painting training :) .... Thanks for this beautiful sharing Marco :)

[@tombrand236]

Your airbrush skills are crazy good mate

[@Durelus]

green and purple.......thank you Doc Mario !

[@Wijkert]

00:49 you can do it Marco, I believe in you! Ps just to let you know, the prep work on the LotR mini was great content. I love seeing that part of the project probably more than the final touches.

[@youtubevanced4900]

Paint a Lord of Change please. It’s always been one of my favourite models. There are absolutely incredible paint schemes of it around. I’d like to see your speed paint style of Oil washes applied to it.

[@rexhurley4380]

Warning mad artist at work.....as for the work OMG...and your airbrush control ahhhh gawd!!!!!!!!!!

[@LemanoftheRussVI]

Epic as usual !!!

[@quentinmaxime863]

Hello Marco thanks for all this source of inspiration. I was just wondering how do you make sure the liquitex you are airbrushing does not reactivate and does stick on the model properly.

[@daaawwwaaa]

Great painting and i love your accent Marco

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

😁😊😁😘😘😘

[@cbradquillen]

@@MarcoFrisoniNJM It doesn't sound the same as other Irish folks, I've noticed :P

[@thenarrator7685]

Hi Marco! Love your painting guides. Do you intend to do Sylvaneth at some point? I think a Treelord in your style would be amazing

[@TheMichaellathrop]

So I'm curious how the later stages of this process would differ if you were highlighting the the golds and silvers with metallic paints? I'm also curious if you ever work with using a florescent base coat in to make a chromatic black, for instance on say a blood angel or word bearer prime white spray florescent green zenithal gray with white highlights and then spray on a transparent red? If so what are some of the technical pitfalls and if not is there a specific reason or does it just not work?

[@1AngelAlita]

Very useful tip for painting the cloth!

[@benjamin2629]

Brilliant paint job!

[@agoraphile8910]

Absolutely stunning

[@236wargaming4]

Superb. Thanks for another excellent tutorial. Really makes me want to build my Lion! I'll get there eventually and will come back to this video when I do! It'll still be here in 10,000 years, right...?🤔

[@tenador190]

Hey Marco. Your videos are really great! I am looking to apply your concept over Uruk Hai warriors models. But they are quite black armor. How would you proceed? Grey airbrush, dark metal airbrush and oil wash?

[@rikardsandstrom]

Your control and precision with the airbrush is mind blowing! What brush and needle do you use?

[@ADhammer]

It’s Lion time! 🦁

[@Derricross]

He's beautiful! Thank you for the great video Marco!

[@philgee486]

Gah, missed the premiere but now settled in with a whisky and a warm dog on my lap

Me after watching Marco , I need to use my airbrush more 🧐

[@Humatra]

Thanks for the video Marcos! I love watching your videos, you are an incredible painter and great teacher!

[@joesturn7740]

Can confirm. Owning an airbrush does not make you a master painter. See my 2 years of airbrushing experience that has me at the level of maybe almost consistently getting decent volumes with the thing.

[@atlas6538]

Thats a really cool way to do nmm, i wonder if its possible to do it for a full nmm scheme

[@auning]

Will we see the new Fulgrim model?

[@jamesvandiver7193]

What do you recommend for a preshade for a midnight blue armor a la night lords? A purplish blue.

[@FretNoMore]

Fantastic ... something to be inspired by and aspire to.

[@chrisminipaints]

First time viewer. I thought the intro said "not just make-up" I'm thinking... this looks professional level... the make-up job must pay really well! 🤔😅

[@Amon_dcVT]

Sorry to bother you Marco but what would be an Italian equivalent for white spirit? I just recently started my journey on painting with oil on my minis and im having an hard time finding an equivalent to dilute the colors. Currently I bought Essenza di Trementina but it seems like Acquaragia would be better, what do you suggest?

[@MarcoFrisoniNJM]

É semplice acquaragia inodore del ferramenta 😊 la Trementina é troppo aggressiva anche sullo strato acrilico!

[@Amon_dcVT]

@@MarcoFrisoniNJM Grazie mille marco, l'essenza di trementina potrebbe essere utile magari per la pulizia dei pennelli?

[@subodai85]

God this is just stunning

[@tenador190]

Awesome work! Love your way of painting! Do you think this airbrush NMM is doable on regular mini? Cities of sigmar for instance

Sure thing! I have a video precisely about that 😁

@marcofrisoninjm i have an urgent question that i really need to find out the answer badly, its about applying oil paint over acrylic paints i saw in one of your video teaching us to applying a layer of oil paints all over acrylic painted models to provide a level of depth as a no brainer, i really wanna try this skill! however for the several times i tried, when im gently rubbing off the oil paints, the acylic paint comes off together 😭😭😭😭 any tips on how to do this well?? 😭😭

What PSI are you using when you holding the airbrush that close to the model? Your brush and airbrush control is very good.
