Non Metallic Metal (NMM) for Beginners

[@pierred3555]

This is the best tuto on KZbin for the NMM. So many tuto don't show the step like really how to unload the Brush etc. Crazy.

[@resourcefulminiatures]

Thank you, you are very kind. More to come on the technique in the future, but will take it slowly one step at a time

[@MiniBasin]

This is an amazing tutorial! Quick, to the point and makes it look completely possible for a new mediocre painter like myself. I'm definitely going to be trying this sometime soon!

[@resourcefulminiatures]

Happy you found it interesting, best of luck trying it out

[@MaskedRiderChris]

In my ongoing quest to get a handle on NMM, this looks like a good technique to incorporate into my repertoire. Good video and nice, clear explanations!

[@resourcefulminiatures]

Thank you very much, glad you'll consider trying it

[@patricknoble3090]

Beautifully done and great explanations. Awesome video

[@resourcefulminiatures]

Thank you very much, you are very kind

[@Artivle]

Crazy timing I was literally looking for this video from you last night because I really liked your OSL explanations and I was hoping you had an NMM video lol

[@resourcefulminiatures]

Happy you enjoyed the previous content, while delve into more advanced nmm as time goes one but i hope this serves in the mean time

[@nintendobinks792]

Fantastic technique, the results are excellent!

[@resourcefulminiatures]

Thank you very much

[@hellequim]

Awesome tutorial that mere mortals can follow ❤

[@pereklada4]

Awesome and still simple tutorial! Thank you so much!

[@resourcefulminiatures]

thank you for taking the time to comment, Im glad you liked it

[@jamesv1243]

Hey, I just started painting minis and I just wanted to say your videos are great. Whenever I have a question it seems like you have already made a video about it.

[@resourcefulminiatures]

Thank you, I made this channel with the intention of creating a sort fo library were painters can find a bit of everything. I hope you are enjoying the hobby and if you encounter something I havent made a video on, feel free to ask about it and I'll give you hand.

[@pent84]

Jose Da vinci Is so good!

[@resourcefulminiatures]

One of the best indeed

[@Sprite8822]

Great video and great effect. Just so I understand correctly, you had a dark grey, lighter grey and ivory, but created blends between each so you, in effect, had 5 colours to achieve that effect?

[@resourcefulminiatures]

Exactly, thats (I belive) the minimum. But you could turn those 3 into 7 ,instead of 5, if you are looking for a smoother blend.

[@Sprite8822]

@@resourcefulminiatures That's great, thank you. I will give it a go.

[@Sprite8822]

@@resourcefulminiatures I had a go at NMM. It is nowhere near your standard, but I think I managed to pull it off a little. I'm really happy with the result anyway. Thank you for the advice! much appreciated!

[@resourcefulminiatures]

@@Sprite8822 Glad you are happy with your results, as long as you are satisfied with it, thats the most importatn part. It took me 3-4 attempts before I said "okey im getting the hang of it", so keep at it every once in a while and you'll get it with time. Will probably revisit this topic at some point but with armor

[@madtabletopgamer3204]

It's showing how you can make a good miniature with out metallic paint.

[@swellerferret2506]

I am way too lazy to try that.

[@TimRich1259]

how would you go about doing NMM on finer chainmail like on Chaos models?

[@resourcefulminiatures]

got an example here kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZ_TnINshdenp7csi=xINHicCk_RaKv-lo basically overbrushing and treating the chain mailed area as a unified shape and not individual rings

[@heinischchristian9811]

Why i make more Work If i can use metallics?i dont understad the think...

[@resourcefulminiatures]

I used to think the same way so i get it. For me personally, as i became more of a pinter than a gamer I delved into it in search for new challenges, I still mostly use true metallic for gaming pieces

[@ahschornjesus]

It's an aesthetic choice. In my opinion metalics can look flat, this adds much more dimension.

[@CaptainBurk38]

👍

[@resourcefulminiatures]

😁

[@leighanddansinclair1696]

So this isn't really a tutorial about NMM but about achieving a smooth gradient with stippling and glazing. A tutorial on NMM would inform about *where* and *why* you chose this gradient to begin with. And 5+ layers and 10 minutes could be achieved in 2 layers and 30 seconds with wet blending.

[@erieschl]

it might help your understanding if you start to think of NMM as subject matter like a face or leather rather than a specific technique. Try to calm the part of the mind waiting for verbal instruction, and begin to try and break down the composition visually. Looking actively we can see the presenter did a simple black gray white transition finished with white edge highlights.
