This might be too minor for an entire video, but I would like some tips on using existing washes, in this case from Pro Acryll, and altering them to use as substitutes for Agrax, Sepia, etc. in these. I have a feeling it is just adding in some brown and wash medium, but getting comfortable with making custom mixes seems like a great thing to be comfortable doing. Love the videos!

10 or so years ago (back before I dropped out of the hobby) stippling was this super niche technique that was only useful for getting a spotty texture like rust. Just today alone I've watched three different videos on using stippling to blend as smoothly as glazing and/or wet blending.

The possibilities are endless buddy, our hobby is so new by 'art' hobby standards, so it's still evolving so so fast. It's in a good place, enjoy! We'll be doing plenty more in the future, and our channel is a great place for the 'fast' or starting steps for fancy stippling done with larger brushes.

It might be time for an update on black skin or armor. I get that this video was supposed to encompass all colors but black is a special case. Stippling highlights and transitions but keeping them small so the model still reads black would be helpful.

Just at 1:22. Something I’ve always wondered about is ‘the lifespan of a full dry brush kit’. Seeing the dampening pad like that in my head will ring alarms but clearly it’s still fine for a professional. Will be interesting to see someone illustrate beginning, mid life and end of life of a full kit

Super looking forward to this! Stippling is something I struggle with and can't imagine trying it on armor, will be really cool to see your approach. I've been really enjoying your dives into "grimdark" painting, hoping to see more of those soon. Speaking of, you sometimes ask for suggestions, have you ever played around with drybrushing oils? Would be interesting to see the blending and other effects given the long working time. I've seen it talked about from a couple of grimdark painters, but would be really neat to see how you approach it with your drybrushing skills and experience.

@rifflesby 5 ай бұрын

It’s just now occurred to me to wonder - you don’t use a wet palette, where it seems like 90% of the other painters I see on youtube do. Maybe you’ve addressed it in another video and I just haven’t seen that one yet? But if you haven’t I’d love to hear your thoughts on the pros and cons of wet vs. dry. Maybe a general tools video?

I have tried to dry brush the way you do in your videos and those models are some of the best models I've ever painted with low effort and high speed following the things you've said in your videos. But lately I've been experimenting with oil paints and I'm curious if you have tried dry brushing with oil paints. The properties of oil paint I think would go pretty well with dry brushing. Blending might be amazing with them and it might be even faster (although slower drying). Maybe having a separate blending brush like the way Mended Brush Studio uses with his oil painted minis would work. Well, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks for all of the great content!

Couldn't help but think that the shading step is very similar in effect to using oil or streaking grime for grim dark just different media and application. The desired shading effect is quite similar once you wipe away the oil.

As for a tip or question, have you found more uses for Newsh? Have seen Next Level Painting use it as an additive when he does edge highlights, since it gives him more time to work with it. Perhaps also a way to prevent paint from drying when adding the battle damage.

However on actually holding it I realised just how many different textures there are on it, I've currently got some huge issues with over-detailing on GW models, which is a shame, because disciplined design used to be one of their strongpoints... and set them apart from 3d print mini companies. I hope it's something they fix fast, people have armies to paint!

@kmykz 5 ай бұрын

@@ArtisOpus unfortunately yes. Overly complicated models are quite contrary to their new 'quick' and 'introductory' approach with Spearhead and it might get worse with every refresh of a faction.

So I've only recently discovered these stippling/drybrushing techniques and I already have a fully painted army in flat colours with basic washes and highlights. What would your advice be to somebody who want to add shading to miniatures painted like that? I'm not quite sure how I'd go about drybrushing shadows onto a model. My minis are painted with Mech Standard grey recess washed with drakenhof nightshade and highlighted with dawnstone if that helps.

@ArtisOpus 5 ай бұрын

I'd use drybrushing for some careful additional highlights, stippling could be used for either shadows or highlights, and done our way goes over anything pretty well, without standing out looking weird or wrong. Take a look at the last cloaks video, we're doing there what I'd recommend :D Any questions just ask in a new comment under the latest video, we'll get you sorted. (replies get lost)

If we were looking at it and light were above that's where we'd see it (I tested out holding it under my lamp), it's not always about the light soley, viewer angle plays a part, too. Sometimes though it's just about making stuff easier to read/paint (e.g. dark side next to light side, etc)
