Paint like a BOSS with these 'Eavy Metal Techniques!

[@carlstanford7607]

Probably one of the best and clearest tutorials I’ve seen

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks!

[@TheHeardstone]

Appreciate all the "extra" stuff. You don't just tell us where or what colors, but advice about putting paint on the brush, etc.

[@kevoreilly6557]

Thanks for always having the paint and mix on screen as you cover the technique ….

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Glad it was helpful!

[@LemanoftheRussVI]

Good as always. Keep this up ! The. Channel will grow !!!

[@MattsHobbyHour]

thanks!

[@Itsallover57]

Beautiful work here. How i started wrapping my head around glazing and layering is by relayering white on my tyranids after shading all over. White is so transparent and seeing how paint thinness works, for HOURS, with layers gives you quite a bit of understanding of it.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Repetition sure is the best way to learn. It's great when everything finally clicks isn't it! Thanks for watching!

[@kevoreilly6557]

Excellent mini. Instant subscribe. Your work is spectacular

Thank you very much!

Something about how the barrel and the holster look is just great. I really like that used/weathered/tarnished look.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks!

[@davidgordon6191]

Great work here….you’re voice is extremely soothing to listen to, explanation of steps is perfect! Thanks.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

thank you! Glad it was helpful

[@dunny7970]

Saving this just for tips and tricks on highlighting, not that I think I’ll ever be able to do a full force this way…. But man some good stuff here to practice! Thank you

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Oh yeah I don't think I could do a full force this way either. It would probably kill me! Best to keep it for heroes and centerpieces, I think. Thanks for watching!

[@AdnanCucak]

This is a fantastic beginners guide, wish I had this when I started! It goes into more intermediate techniques but presents them in such a way thats easy to follow and isnt intimidating.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks for watching! I'm glad it was helpful

[@NeoReziel]

Very detailed video, you couldn't be clearer; thanks for all these info, they are gold.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thank you!

[@thh3439]

Fantasic tutorial, you definitely demystified the panel shading for me. Cant wait to try this out on my next project

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Awesome, good luck! I hope it works out for you. Thanks for watching!

[@thomasbrock-hastings1140]

Thank you. Having watched this video, I now think I get it. Even if I actually don’t, I’m still grateful that your video has enthused me to try.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

[@justinkotrba2197]

Such a beautiful result. Your video style is so soothing as well watching these highlights. Keep it up!

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thank you! I'll keep em coming!

[@MrGreenpaulo]

Your tutorials are first class, Duncan Rhodes level lol! Very, very helpful. Thanks!

[@MattsHobbyHour]

that's very kind of you to say, thank you! I'm glad they're helpful

[@Joe_Smo]

Great video, happy I found it. Fills in the gaps with shade and glaze that other every metal artist channels didn’t include. Im swing back into the hobby after many years away and only recently realized we could build multiple techniques/styles on top of each other. I will be using this! Thank you.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@darthhall6187]

Great instructional video. I especially liked that you showed things like when the paint is too thin etc. Something that is often mentioned by other youtubers, but rarely shown. I think that beginners will that find very helpful. But the biggest value of this video for me, is the clarity of explanation about glazing etc. Personally not a fan of the 'Eavy Metal style of super hard edge highlights on every part of the model, but recognise the skill involved in creating it, and super useful for developing brush control.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks for all your kind words, and thanks for watching!

[@L3GHO5T]

Beautiful paint man the lower 1/3 shadow glaze I’ve never seen done nor thought about doing so. As I was watching you paint the leg looked up to box art I gave tacked to the wall all infront of my painting table and can absolutely see it. Learned something new! Instant sub keep up good work!

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Awesome! That's really cool to hear. Got to love it when things click like that. Thanks for watching and good luck with your painting!

[@L3GHO5T]

Wow this completely explains this in a way I could never get my head around before, thank you, I gotta figure out what three to use for imperial fists and blood ravens and give it a shot

Excellent tutorial. Very transparent instructions. Lovely paintjob and also a nice change from the Nids (although I really enjoyed every single one of them) ❤

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thank you! I'll have to return to the Tyranids again soon!

[@oleww50]

Excellent paint job, and great tutorial. Subscribed look forward to seeing more 🤘 would be great to see more details on the other parts of the model. Pouches eye lenses etc?

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks for watching and for your subscription! I have a couple 'Eavy Metal marine videos which cover some of those details, which may be helpful in the meantime. Thanks and happy painting!

[@Thornspyre81]

Im so happy yo have found your channel!! You're work is incredible!! Keep it up and I look forward to watching your other videos.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thank you! And welcome to the channel!

[@IrishJayc63]

Perfect work. Great video. Love to see an airbrushed one just to see the difference. Cause I can’t see it being much better

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks! I'll include some airbrushing in a future video.

[@adinfinitum4765]

Great video. I will definitely be trying some of these techniques soon. Loved your tyranid content as well. Keep up the quality work i always look forward to your tutorials

Okay this might be the only painting video I’ll ever need…

[@MattsHobbyHour]

That's some high praise! There are plenty of other great guides out there so don't let it be the only one. Thanks for watching!

[@lovemysi07]

Thank you! No airbrush. It's so nice seeing that approach.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks for watching! Glad you like it.

[@fancymichael6113]

Simple and great!

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Thanks for watching!

[@ericochoa7551]

This seems doable for me. I suck with washes and the shading technique you show looks easy to follow. I'll just need to get better at edge highlighting.

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Just take your time and don't be too hard on yourself. You'll get there. Good luck!

[@nixxy1983]

I love this video, the biggest fear i have is the highlighting, im very new to all this so im still learning, will need to invest in a special highlighting brush to be used for just that

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Good luck! Paint lots of models, try to learn something new on each one, and you'll get there in no time.

[@nixxy1983]

@MattsHobbyHour thats the plan, got the leviathan set ready to go

[@MattsHobbyHour]

@@nixxy1983 Awesome!

[@joecosier22]

You are hitting all the areas I struggle with. Could you do black cloth sometime?

[@MattsHobbyHour]

Glad its helpful! Sure I can, thanks for the suggestion. In the meantime i have a quick black cloth recipe at the end of my newest video, the one about mixing a set of grey paints.

[@joecosier22]

Will this Ultramarines style also work on vehicles?

[@MattsHobbyHour]

@@joecosier22 yeah it will absolutely work on vehicles. If you have an airbrush, I would recommend using that for the basecoat; you'll get a much smoother result.

[@sweatilaa5325]

Hello friend. Great tutorial and explanation on some aspects of the eavy metal technique. I have a little question for you, how do you get the Bonewhite from VGC to work properly? I got a bottle of it myself, of the "old" formulation, and I just can't get it to cover properly at all. It's always incredibly transparent and has poor coverage no matter how much I shake the bottle. To be honest, a hanful of VGC paints acts this way for me and they got mixing balls in them and I've shaken them like they owe me a lot of money. Especially the reds, dark green, a blue, and bonewhite act this way. And seeing painters like you and Doctor Faust use VGC so much and paint to such a high quality I figured it has to be a me problem

[@MattsHobbyHour]

I'm not sure what could be causing that problem. I haven't had any similar problems with VGC paint. If your paints are really old it's possible that the pigment has settled on the bottom and gotten rock hard, and it's not mixing with the medium. You could try taking the dropper tip off the top of the bottle and scrape the bottom of the bottle with a stick. Alternatively you might try out a fresh bottle. Hope you find out what the problem is, and good luck!

[@sweatilaa5325]

@@MattsHobbyHour oh okay, didn’t know that, good to know at least that it’s a me problem and not a VGC problem. Might have something to do with the fact that when I started painting 4 years ago I bought them in one of those packs, the starter and advanced pack they had. Since I got them from Amazon I have no idea how long they’ve been sitting on some shelf. I’ll give it a try with scraping the bottom, would be a shame to get new paints if the old actually work fine. These days I’ve been buying my paints directly of the shelves and I’ve been having better luck with quality. Thanks :)

[@MattsHobbyHour]

@@sweatilaa5325 yeah that's the risk of buying online. The good thing about VGC is they just redid their line if paint and changed the bottle design. So you know you're getting fresh paint if you get one of the new bottles.

I doubt it! This kind of stuff is probably best reserved for heroes and centerpiece models.
