Painting Leo with Dry Brush Techniques

[@omegaclark5248]

this looks so easy and is so hard to master like you! perefect job mate

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

It just takes practice anyone can do it with enough time and patience. 😁

[@sajjadalrubayi3881]

cheers beginner painter here, learnt a lot of new techniques

[@DrxSlump]

Virtually no mess, less chances of breathing paint particles, same result. Excellent tutorial, life changing for some. Thank you, Sir!

[@wormsy2222]

So damn CLEAN! Patience must’ve played a big role painting the way you did. Thank you for sharing and teaching

[@yungboitj]

Another tip, there’s texture board files that you can 3D print if you don’t have one!

[@yurivasconcelos3861]

Dude, the texture is incredible! Congrats!

[@mrjokable7046]

I really enjoyed the video and I learned a lot. I usually do it in reverse and go light to dark.

[@markhackett1425]

This is the best tutorial for me and I have learned a lot from this, just purchased dry brushes and black primer as I've always used grey. cannot wait to use your style to re-do my large hulk.

[@BALKAN_thoughts]

Excellent job! I always use the airbrush but recently i started to learn dry-brushing and this video helped me a lot. Thnxx 💪

[@Hereforthecomments2]

Just completed Donatello using this tutorial, thanks for the great advice and tips. One thing I did do differently was using Kroak Green shade from citadel on the skin at the end, really blends the different greens. Hope that helps someone else with their project. Thanks itsmeademade

[@fabiovargas9284]

¡Gracias!

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Thank you so much!!!

[@PatrikEkmanVga]

Found your KZbin video after I bought the model. Now I have a guide to follow. Also learn a little more about drybrush technique. Perfect video. Thanks!

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

That’s awesome. I hope the video helps!

[@WillyKnapp]

Awesome work and great tips on the technique of dry brushing!!

[@TuhafTarih]

thank you so much for sharing such technique! from dark to light, only drybrush is awesome.

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

My pleasure 😊glad you liked it.

[@roguemotionllc]

fantastic work and its noce to see this technique on something that's not a mini. Also one of the best tmnt models I've seen so thanks for sharing the artist.

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Thanks glad you liked it. Yeah the artist is very talented and a great guy which makes me want to support him even more

[@blahtoausername]

My FDM print is complete and the primer is drying as I type! Wish me luck and thanks again for this guide! Hope I achieve even 50% of what you did.

[@adamestrella9662]

I’ll always watch your TMNT videos. Great work!

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Thanks I really appreciate it.

[@Mr.Kooraft]

Amazing job!! nice technique

[@Emtbtoday]

Ammos new Drybrush paint paste will be great with that texture board! I watched another KZbinr pau t all these LA figure's yesterday some artistic licence cartoon 2d style on a 3D model it was cool very different! There really cool turtle model's for sure!

Amazing. You rock! Thank you so much.

[@Lurker1222]

w00t! Been waiting for this one!! Awesome work, Chris!

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Thanks man!

[@GotNextVideo]

I saw this just after completing my own figure (I did the Raphael from the same line). Some helpful tips that would have made things easier (I'm fairly new to figure painting), but happily my result was no worse.

[@andyb7754]

Fantastic work, your a TRUE artist!!

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Thank you!

[@Emtbtoday]

I'm gonna try sign up to get these I want to do them in the colours from the TMHero Turtle's OG cartoon they were all different colours I think Donny was a Brownish green Mikey was bright etc I just seen them painted all the same tones they do look good but need broken up if doing them All I feel! Your looks great for the old dredded drybrush that's for sure!

[@Cereal_Killr]

Thank you! I just printed out a TMNT Bust only model and it came out great! I was nervous to paint it and now I think after seeing this... I'll be able to give it the paint job it deserves!

[@emilflognoid1532]

This just inspired me to create a new art style... I'll keep you posted...

[@BigB0neDBD]

Clicked for the stashe, stayed for the talent

[@seboat]

Love it!

[@markmcguire6984]

That turned out amazing 👏

[@angieuesselerc]

This is amazing, thank you for sharing so many tips 🫶🏻

[@j.taylor7361]

Awesome job!

[@davidzizza]

A couple of questions from a beginner painter. Does it matter what filament color you start out with? Wouldn't it be easier with a lighter color? And a second question, if not the filament, what about a primer coat? I assume you're using acrylic paint. Would you use gesso? Great videos, thanks for your work.

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

So I would check out my playlists. I have a full series where I walk you through how I painted thing from fantastic four. This model was printed in resin not fdm. But you can do fdm. To answer your questions no filament color doesn’t matter. I use a primer to cover it up. Gesso could work.

[@justinattheVS]

Great video man!! Loved it. Subscribed!

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Thanks so much! Glad you liked it.

[@TheGodOfWarhammer]

amazing paint job! the ONLY suggestion would be to maybe do a lighter highlight on the bandanna. it could be my eyes, but the thumbnail looks purple and I thought it was Donnie.

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Thanks. The dark royal was a personal preference. I do see your point. If I end up doing Donnie he will be a lot brighter purple so there will be a big difference.

[@slomo4056]

Would this technique also Work on FDM prints instead of sla prints without any sanding beforehand the painting?

[@lukasdvorak6123]

Wau awesome work 👍. Looks very nice

[@JosiahJames-h1c]

Nice my bro cool model

[@Cferg]

Nice! I really enjoy your videos!

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Thanks so much!

[@luiz.alipioo]

Amazing job!!!

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Thank a lot!

[@emirgokmen9245]

I wonder when we should apply dry brush techn. ? what is the difference from the standart acrylic painting

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

You can do regular base coating in acrylic paints and do dry brush last with a lighter color to bring out the details of the model.

[@emirgokmen9245]

@@ItsMeaDMaDe oh thank you so much i got it

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

@@emirgokmen9245 anytime! I plan on making another dry brush vid in April explaining the processes better. Until then if you any more issues feel free to join the free discord group and ask your questions there. ( Link in description)

[@omegafire6253]

Can you use a low grit sand paper for dry brushing.

[@knifeyonline]

I wish it was properly royal blue, it looks like donatello and now I'm sad after being so invested for 45 minutes 😆 but I did seriously enjoy the rest of this video

[@angelotakos5807]

Excellent tutorial!! Just a question, the metallics you used, where can you get those?

[@josephmelendezjr7075]

Hi love this video. I have a question if I wanted to get into 3d printing to make my own comic book statues does the material have to be resin ? I'm asking because I dont have alot of space but I hear for resin printing you need alot of ventilation if it doesn't have to be resin what kind of material i can use for limited space places and statues ?

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

No it doesn’t have to be. You could get an fdm printer and print figures and busts just fine. I have videos where I’m painting fdm statues too.

[@gvetech]

Great work, where do I buy the metallic rub ons, I currently use "rub n buff" and I dislike the smell.

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

amzn.to/3rn9HPT Here is a link on Amazon and just look up the seller he has more.

[@gvetech]

@@ItsMeaDMaDe thanks

[@drbk6329]

EPIC STACHE!

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Thanks man!

[@PhilippeCouture-vz3tf]

can't buy the dry brush palette in Canada... is there a site where i could download the file to do it on my laser machine?

[@ahmedabdel-dayem3689]

Can i use Gesso as a primer?

[@omegafire6253]

How many times can you re use these brushes. If im using acrylic paint...

[@ralphmodynlosugarteeth3188]

Is it printed on resin or Filament? I guess the first but I'm just super impressed on the quality of the print. No support marks whatsoever, keys properly fit. Very top.

[@jbvoices8972]

When you went back and re-painted black in certain areas, did you dilute or just use paint straight from the bottle?

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

When it comes to dry brush I don’t dilute the paint.

[@JustPauly]

Excellent video. Question, if I don’t have a 3d printer, where could I get one of these models printed? U.K. any help would be appreciated. I have no idea where to start looking

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

That model specifically I don’t know. I know a few people that buy their models printed from Etsy. There are quite of few people that sell printed models on there.

[@JustPauly]

@@ItsMeaDMaDe that’s great thanks. I know I can buy the file of this, wasn’t sure where to get it printed though

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Oh sorry for the misunderstanding. I really don’t know about that. I’ve never really had to look for someone to print something…

[@FatBoyGadgets-1]

do you sell these statues?

[@georgehewitt3516]

Do you know how long it takes to print?Thanks

[@VerticalSpeed1987]

Did you prime the whole model with apple barrel black, or just the touchups in between drybrush?

[@barb1100]

Can I use those yellow paper sticky tapes for securing painted areas ? Or will they ruin the color ?

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

To be honest I don’t know never tried it. You may want to test it to find out if you can.

[@catboytoys]

Great

[@wizardsfury857]

Are you sealing the paint after every other colors?

[@binaryatlas]

is this a 3d print? PLA Resin?

[@enochdarkk7871]

Did you seal it with a clear coat and then added the extra layers? Or was this all one session?

[@Scott-ps3uz]

Thats dope.

[@IAmWBeard]

Hey here’s an idea for a video, explain how you get into tight areas like between the body and bicep or arm pit without fuckin’ up the near by area

[@mrsant0s]

Looks amazing. Do you have to paint a protection layer in the end? Wondering if the paint will smuge or come off with constent admiration.

[@seanhomar5945]

Amazing

[@nicholasbazarow4135]

Dam this is so slick…… ans looks great painted. Where can u grab this model kit from?

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Thanks!

[@zemu252]

Dude ur awesome

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

😎

[@kevinlemoi7837]

Question: Your model looks a lot more smooth than mine... I have an almost pitted look to the body. Did you prep your model beforehand, i.e. Sanding, filling, etc?

[@Crooksey84]

Donatelo robbed leos swords

[@sonicryu2769]

This was straight out of fdm printer? Or was it sanded and primed first?

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

This was done on a resin 3D printer.

[@albertolegaria2174]

what type of brush is that

[@daysoframpage]

Beautiful work as always. Quick noob question. How do you clean and sand areas of a print that has texture, say for example a leather texture, without losing all the details???

[@georgehewitt3516]

Do you sell 3 d models

[@sladewilson2838]

you should do a air brush version

[@christofit4120]

Do you offer any courses?

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

I’m actually working on and airbrush course right now. Hoping to release it next month.

[@nicholasbazarow4135]

Owww I seee in description

[@its_big_dee]

Do you clear coat between each painted section or do you just give time to fully dry? I’ve had issues where if I touch it the paint lifts off.

[@cristianrodriguez7556]

My issue with this is, how do you know what colors to use.. i want to get to paint my 3d prints but honestly not knowing that is Whats stopping me.

[@enochdarkk7871]

Find reference photos. As you learn what colors go together.. you can make your own color schemes. Dont worry about making mistakes.. its part of the process. Just learn from them.

[@dwells77]

Awesome results on this Leonardo figure! Personally, Raphael is my favorite since the 80's! What is the background music that you used for this video?

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Leo has always been mine. Honestly there is no wrong answer here just as long as you have a fav. The music is a custom mix someone made me.

[@dwells77]

@@ItsMeaDMaDe Yeah, I feel you! You gotta have all four to make the team!!! Cowabunga!!! Still diggin that background music! Thanks for sharing!

[@chairmanprakasit2539]

Do you sand the figure much before applying some paint, bro?

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

Yes, I always do some type of post processing. I did a video where I walk through my process in a video. Here it is if your curious. Post Processing Resin 3D Prints | Preparing 3D Prints for Paint kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5ianHabit19mtE

One of these days, I'm going to print and paint a model and its going to be all your fault!! Keep up the great work.

[@ItsMeaDMaDe]

😂🤣😂 I think the appropriate thing to say here is “sorry, not sorry”

[@alanrobinson6257]

nice video but could do with more lighting the parts are very dark

[@massymetto76]

What green did you use ?

[@CarloGoiff666]

For a rough-looking creature with cracked skin sure brush might not be the worst, but what about human skin? i feel like for your tutorials you choose the easiest statues to paint.

[@bloodandguts88]

Good print wrong color

[@RicardoFGC]

Not my favorite green for Leonardo, dry brushing for muscles makes it look like a cheap ceramic figure, sorry but it was a waste of 47 minutes

[@SydesGamingAdventures]

You couldn’t be more wrong.
