Paint with Everything You've Got

[@misterscienceguy]

Honestly some top tier filmwork here. I appreciate that you're not leaning on clickbait or self promotion like some other hobby youtubers go in hard on.

[@52Miniatures]

Thanks Mr.S! I just don’t really do much of the “clickbait”, but it’s more of a personal thing. Sometimes it can be pretty explanatory in a way. But for some reason I can’t bring myself to it.

[@arnauc7384]

I’ve noticed that, each and every single time I finish watching one of your videos, the same sole word comes out of my mouth: “Wow”. Alex, your storytelling, production and painting values are truly inspirational. Thank you, Sir.

[@52Miniatures]

Thank you Arnau, I very much appreciate your comment.

[@johanneshermansson7630]

The opening two shots of this are an amazing example of tension and resolution. You're going "how the fuck does this dude sit down on chairs" then a dramatic shot reveals that it was a kökssoffa all along and he couldn't have gotten into it any other way. Absolutely brilliant. A story told in every frame.

[@52Miniatures]

"Oil goes on the balistas. Not on keeping the leathers soft." I love your immersion. To me, immersion is the core of why I love warhammer - but I often find that some painters don't spend much time on envisioning where their models live, so it is great to see that you also share this love for immersiveness.

[@52Miniatures]

I appreciate it B! For me, I'm quite dependant of "stories" when I paint. That's how I come up with the colour schemes, and the over all tone of things. So it sort of comes naturally :)

[@logcabingaming3710]

I love your videos - everytime i see one is uploaded i clear some time so i can watch it uninterrupted as you have such a gift for storytelling and painting. Many thanks for your videos

[@AlexTheRed4]

It’s actually so awesome that you’ve posted this as 1. I love your content and 2. I’ve been holding off on painting a model that my partner got for me that was quite expensive and I was worried my paint job wouldn’t do her justice. I came to the conclusion that she would be more happy to see me actually slap paint onto it and be content with it because I’m actually using what she got me. I gave up on trying to be a perfectionist and rather go with my own artistic style and flaws for the model and it has been so freeing. Such a great feeling knowing that I’m not painting to impress someone else but rather to make myself and also my partner happy. Thank you!

[@52Miniatures]

Well that's just great V! I'm glad to hear it. I mean, that's what so much of this hobby is about.

[@AuzonApophis]

Could watch your style of videos for hours! and I love the narration. Please do some more complete mini paintjob videos like this! Watching intently on the 1st viewing and then having them on repeat while I paint has become my favorite way of focusing on my army! Thanks for your hard work!

[@52Miniatures]

Great to hear A, I'm glad this video has been appreciated. I wasn't sure if the lack of fancy camera work would disappoint. But as it turns out, a lot of people are here for the painting :)

[@troyzelaya]

As someone who got into this lovely hobby over the last hell-year, your videos have not only provided a fantastic entry point without feeling the overwhelming pressure that can come with painting tiny things and making them look like they did in your brain, but they are calming in a way that reaffirms my love for the hobby as it is now and for what it could be in the future. Thank you for the level of craftsmanship that goes into your art, your video production and your pleasant relatability. Cheers.

[@52Miniatures]

Well thank you Raul, this is a lovely comment. Welcome to the hobby.

[@johnathanrhoades7751]

Beautiful. And a good reminder to be painting (mostly) thoughtfully. (Sometimes I paint just to relax and not think, but painting mindfully leads to learning and better results!)

[@52Miniatures]

True J! Also, but I also find, that if one relaxes, a lot of things happen automatically... where as thinking to much might lead to just complicating things.

[@13Robzilla]

Thank you for making this video. Any painter (at a similar point in their journey) who gets asked why we did what we did on a mini can point them here. Well said sir.

[@52Miniatures]

Well thank you, as always Rob. I'm glad this turned out more coherent than I at first thought. I always feel like I'm all over the place while painting.

[@13Robzilla]

@@52Miniatures Kind of makes sense when you think about it. So many different things can go into a miniature. The choices we make define us as painters, it is what goes into these choices I find the most informative.

[@bitzbox]

I love the thought of this guy trying to hide in an artic setting with his white armour.. and bright orange hair!

[@52Miniatures]

Ha ha! "Why is there an orange bush moving about on the battlefield?"

[@thomasalbion1834]

Wow... I can honestly say that's the first paint scheme on a stormcast that has made me think "wow, I want an army of those." You really knocked this one out of the park, amazing video.

[@52Miniatures]

Wow, thanks T! I very much appreciate it.

[@jmalkvideos]

A beautiful model, and a good message. Reassuring to see that you don’t need to repeat the same recipe 50 times to get an army you’re happy with, and that looks good together.

[@52Miniatures]

This one does stand out a bit on the table, but so does most of the other "hero's". So it kind of works :)

[@BillMakingStuff]

I love your choice of colour... you have made me think about it more in my own builds.

[@52Miniatures]

Well thanks Bill! White is a tricky one though.

[@ptcjedi6]

Thank you! Great video and message! I have been painting steady for about two years and continually refining my processes. It is good to take risks and learn from them...although this often sets me back a lot of time. At the end of the day, we do this because we love it.

[@52Miniatures]

Glad to hear it Patrick, thank you

[@HJKampe]

I'm jealous that you have a really good understanding about colour.

[@52Miniatures]

I probably do. I also try, most often, to keep things simple. It can be quite dramatic.

[@vilhelmhenrichsen9144]

As a beginner painter, this video was really cool! It was great to hear the organic thoughts that went trough your head while painting. And realizing that they are much like my own. Great stuff!

[@52Miniatures]

Glad to hear it V, I know there is some "advanced techniques" here... so I'm glad it still makes sense for someone new in the hobby.

[@austinworwa3224]

This is the nicest looking model you have painted on your KZbin channel and I appreciate the close-up shots at the end giving perspective on how individual brush strokes create a smooth picture at a distance. Personally I get hung up on how my model looks when holding it up to my nose and this helps a lot.

[@52Miniatures]

Thanks A! I find it fascinating to look at the close ups. I mean, the brush strokes are not really visible to my eye, and then when enlarged, it's like "oh look, that's where my brush has been".

[@AMattyDevil]

I love your videos, and so does my wife, each of them tell a story and are fascinating to watch and be enthralled by.

[@52Miniatures]

Well thanks M! Say hi to the family for me :)

[@52Miniatures]

Thanks C! I'm glad you liked it.

[@leandrogaldinoalmeida3023]

Alex, very good video. I'll be honest, I really like to see you painting, not to copy, but to understand the techniques. I love to see you creating your own contrast paints, and more to understand the concepts and the way you think. Until today I have only painted the minis by following the tutorial videos or the box photos. I just have bought a new kit where there are no tutorials on youtube, no photos, only some colorful drawings. Watching your videos I have been encouraged to test myself and do just what you say in the video, and I will paint with everything I have. It will be a challenge for me. Thanks

[@52Miniatures]

Well thank you Leandro, I'm really glad to hear of the inspiration. Good luck!

[@simonm8221]

Thank you! To see a video where the painter “just” paints a miniature per se, without it forcefully being a guide aiming to “achieve this/that technique” is relaxing and helps focusing as well as providing inspiration to just start one’s own work! I appreciated the fact that despite the speed up and the necessary editing, your video managed to convey the amount of work, thought, attempts, cleanup, and TIME spent on painting the miniature. It does not provide a “model to aim to” (like “omg this guy is such a pro”) as much as a “dude who has the same hobby as I do” feeling. If I may add, I totally LOVED the close up shots at the end of the video. No panning shots, no turning around, just static frames for 2-5 seconds. If I may humbly suggest, it would be great to have a section like this at the end of the video, with the close up shots of the finished work, and just silence. It allows me as a viewer to let all the details sink in, as a form of “meditation” and closure of the video. It was great to hear your storytelling but I think I would have enjoyed much more having been able to contemplate your mini in silence for a minute or so, pondering on all that went into its painting. Again, thanks for the good time you had me spend here! Best

[@52Miniatures]

Thank you Simon, I’m glad this format worked. Sometimes, for me, it’s just nice to paint a mini and not have to think to much about “content creation”. Anyway. I like your idea... we’ll see... it’s one of the reasons I have the Instagram, but it’s not quite the same. I’ll ponder :)

[@86Corvus]

[@52Miniatures]

Thank you very much for this comment P, I appreciate it greatly.

[@TeoPerezJRR]

I like your videos because there´s no bullsh!t in them: you dont try to share a secret about painting minis, you dont try to explain to us why we NEED certain paints, or certain brushes, etc etc. You genuinely share your painting experience, your process, but you dont sell it. I feel i´m being talked honestly and with the understanding that your experience is just that, an experiencie, and that everything can be so diferent inside just one part of a big hobby. When I watch your videos I dont think "ok, this is the correct and only way to do it", instead is more like "oh well, he did it this way, I think i´ll give it a chance making my own way having this in mind" and thats really important because in a hobby like this everyone is unique and so are the paths we decide to take when starting a new painting project. There are very few youtubers that are careful enough to have this in mind, by the looks of the videos. so thank you.

[@TeoPerezJRR]

oh, and the editing, the audio quality and the shots are simply SUPERIOR, so yeah

[@52Miniatures]

I'm very glad for your comment Teo, because this is what I hope for in my videos. We are all different, like different things, enjoy different things. I can only show what I enjoy, and hop that this inspires people to keep doing what they are doing. In the end - as long as we all are painting - then all is well. Thank you.

[@Wijkert]

Great video once again! If you want the highest highlights on the armor as bright as possible I suggest using a heavy body acrylic white. The "body" of the paint makes it reflect more light. EDIT: you used white oil paint to get a similar effect on the cloak. Oil paint also works because it has more "body" than most acrylics.

[@52Miniatures]

That's good to know W! The ink worked pretty well. I'll try some Scalecolour Artist Acrylic white next time and see how it looks :) Thank you!

[@visitectthefirst5025]

"Paint with everything you've got," as you define it, is particularly cool in that it applies just as well to a beginner as an advanced painter. If heeded, that advice will ensure that each painting session will help the artist improve. Also: staying on the edge of your skills helps keep the boundaries of your current "tool bag" clear, and can illuminate the way forward. And, as others have noted, the low-angle tracking shot was a seriously slick way to plunk us down into your stream of consciousness, start-to-finish painting session.

[@52Miniatures]

Thanks V! I hope so. Also to consider how all the different colours on a mini affect each other. Like.. I didn't paint the white to completion until everything else was in place. This acceptance, of a paint job as a whole, and not lots of small independent bits. Can hopefully be useful for a beginner too.

For 7 of the models I plan to paint them as Power Rangers to practice with all the different colours!
