Secret Method to Push Your Warhammer To Another Level

Painting volumes on your miniatures is a game changer. Many warhammer miniatures look flat until you paint on them proper values that represent light reflections. That is what this video is about - painting volumes easily!
If you got into this hobby via warhammer (like many of us, let's face it), you probably get a lot of inspiration from Eavy Metal team that paints their miniatures mostly by edge highlighting them to fantastic level. Eavy Metal team does amazing job and I love their style for space marines and warhammer in general, but what is more universal is painting actual volume on your miniatures. Not all miniatures have that many edges, and there is no way around it but to actually sit down, think about how the light is reflected on the miniature, and paint the values accordingly. There is truly nothing as game changing as thinking about how light interacts on your miniatures and paint it like that.

This was originally meant to be one of the "explained in 5 minutes", but since there was too much to cover, I did not manage to do it. Let me know what you think! 👊

[@ckoetael]

You can call long videos, for example, "while you are having breakfast" :))))

[@jameselrick5759]

This my friend is a basic skill that I shall be trying out once I get my wet pallette delivered. Only ever layered then used washes and highlights. Your videos give me great inspiration and keep up the good content.

[@MrDavs1985]

I love the short and pithy format

[@magosdelirium4717]

No need to restrict yourself on the length! This vid is still very concise and informative. (I would watch it without the clickbait names anyway. :) )

[@Zumikito]

@@magosdelirium4717 ye, it worked out perfectly like this, so clearly didn't have to make it shorter. Well, it is not clickbait if it delivers, is it? :)

[@SilenceFlightSim]

Dude you’re killing it! There are other bigger channels that have covered these concepts but none of them have even COME CLOSE to how well you’ve covered it in terms of making it approachable for new painters. (One of my biggest gripes with other channels instructional material as much as I love them otherwise)

[@Zumikito]

Thank you! Really trying to make it as easily digestable as I can. It really makes me happy to hear it

[@tobipotg]

You are so right. Glad it got suggested to me :)

[@TheGoldenDragon_]

I agree. This video is the best explained how to I've seen imo.

[@JackIsMe1993]

Me - Takes notes with enthusiasm! 7 hours later - not sure if I just painted a Space Nun or Mr Potato Head...Hmmm Back to Necrons!

[@guillermomataserrano9413]

You have just changed my way I understand the miniature painting, Mr. Golden Angle

[@DarthSid]

Very nice one, mr golden angle! 😂

[@zarakikenpachi007]

Underrated Channel. Those tips are golden. Thank you!

[@Zumikito]

you are way too kind, thank you

[@delphaneuxlacroix]

"I am finally done with all of these incessant adulting chores and can finally sit down and paint miniatures for a bit now right?" "No."

[@EonsOfBattle]

Love it! Always super practical and helpful! Taking photos really does help with figuring out how to place highlights!

[@Zumikito]

Eyyy happy to see you here! Thank you 👈

[@PredatorGodPaya]

The tip with taking a photo from the natural highlights as reference is invaluable to me because as a beginner I often struggle to find the spots that should actually have the highlights.

[@maximusmagic3793]

I feel exactly the same haha

[@sergeitishin9417]

Trying it now, got out of bed just for this, thank you very much

[@Matthewlloyd84]

I don't even paint miniatures, but now I feel like I can!

[@Zumikito]

Everyone can! 💪

Man that 'smooth' jazz gag got me.

I didn't know I needed this video until I watched it. Very interesting.

[@ryansnyder7299]

This was the best quick explanation for this that I've seen. I'm still at the first stage that you mentioned and I'm working toward this level of volume on my models. Thank you so much for this content and I look forward to watching your back catalog.

[@Rodrigo_Negrini]

I think this is one of the best Channels about Miniature Painting on KZbin. Great Video!

[@Zumikito]

You are too kind, thank you!

[@dannythomson5239]

i havnt painted for 30yrs and have been looking to get back into it as i need a hobby to do something fun and relaxing with my spare time, your painting vids are fantastic and have proven to be a big inspiration for me with many great tips and ideas. THANKYOU sir!

[@redrooster7371]

This is now my new reference tutorial I will share with my friends if they want to know the basics of painting with volumes.

[@Jokerboard101]

Great formatting for videos. Introduction and conclusion is nice to see to start and end with. Look forward to more.

[@kevinhayes517]

Another excellent tutorial...with your usual,sense of humor. I learned a lot from watching and will watch several more time to make sure I’ve absorbed all the details. Thank you!

[@hecatepetrichor9563]

Maaaan ! This life hack ! I used to hate this primer because it was glossy. Never thought it could be my advantage ! Thanks for this!

[@-Diop-]

I love that he has a very defined style of painting, smooth and bright

[@fenrirhelvetr7479]

Honestly the best tutorial for these effects I have seen, great work and thank you for making this video.

[@joshelguapo5563]

this video indeed changed my miniature painting

[@myrddraalhalfmen9524]

This video is great help, gonna use all the tips with my next miniature

[@drewbakka5265]

This is brilliant. I've always had a hard time figuring out how some people figured out exactly where to highlight on rounded surfaces but the photo trick helps a lot. Admittedly this is probably best for dioramas and not armies

[@shawnross120]

I have just been tearing through these videos, the enthusiasm, quick tips and amazing quality examples have made my mini game so much better!!

[@Zumikito]

So glad to hear that! Cheers my friend :)

[@Zumikito]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙌

[@carbide72]

Great tutorial and awesome close ups! Thanks

[@williammarass3699]

This is what I like about your approach of tutorial videos. You explain in precise detail how to achieve volume on a mini, how to track where the light source is, how to apply the paint in a deliberate manner, how to achieve your goal and then pull it all together. Where as other videos just say do this and your done without any real direction.

[@user-li1ih4bi7u]

Exactly the video i needed!Great work man!

[@kevinhardin7465]

I think this is one of the most important videos on wh painting I have seen

for my style of learning your videos are SO easy to understand. all the techniques really click for me while watching you. it's been so frustrating trying to grasp these concepts but you've really helped me through them. thank you magnificent beard man.

No, thank you for the feedback and watching! 👈

"how much paint and where to put it" that is my struggle right there. Thanks for all your videos!

[@Zumikito]

Cheers!

[@LostInLiteracy]

As someone who is new to painting miniatures, I really appreciate your videos. I find most tutorials overwhelming, yours are easy to understand and lay out a great step by step process.

[@Zumikito]

Thank you for the kind words and a great feedback! I always appreciate when people see in my videos exactly what I am aiming for :)

[@AlexanderUstinovAD]

Mate! I like your short tutorial videos so much! It's brilliant! I watched other painters too. They wasted time on details and theory so much... Sometimes I forgot the main goal of those videos in the middle of watching.

[@colindoherty7472]

10/10 video, sometimes its just as simple as this. yet your output is so so good.

[@jacekolkiewicz9667]

Another brilliant video, I appreciate your ideas for each one, explaining the different techniques. Personally, the best beginner-friendly channel!!

[@lacreatura6132]

Very good and informative video. I love the fact that you explained everything so fast.

I found you about a month ago and while I am still nervous to pick up the brush and try and learn to paint truly your videos do such a good job for even just a little bit you make me think its possible that I can do it like you do.

[@archfrank]

Love your work man, so many inspiring ideas to try. Heavy metal style gets old real fast even for space marine players so it's nice to do things differently

[@DGP406]

You are a great teacher, your videos have so much useful information in a short time, it's great.

Thanks for the video! I've hit a bit of a lag with my skill progression, so lately I've been forcing myself to learn how to properly highlight and shade. This video was super helpful!

Thank you!

This is a video that I didn’t ask for, never would be looking up, but was very interesting and helpful in getting better at this.

[@Zumikito]

well, it's not like I specifically create videos that people ask for haha, glad it was helpful

[@matthewbrookes4352]

Just discovered your channel dude, this is great! I've pretty much just started trying NMM and your technique for the volumes and the glazing to smooth out the transitions is excellent! Just simple enough to not be intimidating, but complex enough to be rewarding and have a stunning end result. Thanks for the great tutorial.

[@Zumikito]

Love how you describe it, glad to help!

[@montotomontoto1717]

I was looking for a tutorial like this especially for my space marines cause i want them to look a little bit more real rather than just edge higlight every single detail....and not gonna lie i wanna try this so bad, awesome work as always💪

I commend your teaching method. You state what your are going to teach, teach it, and then review what you taught at the end. Repetition is a good method to help it sink in. Don't ever feel concerned doing so sounds like you are treating your audience as dumb. We are, which is why we are here to learn!

[@Zumikito]

I never consider my adudience dumb, but I know very well that I need to repeat things to truly learn them just like you said! Thank you for the encouragement!
