Speed painting Gretchin - Building my Ork Army - Episode 03

As I have over 150 models to paint I decided to start painting the horde of green skins first to get them out of the way. It also gives me an opportunity to ease back into the hobby and improve.
I start by painting a single Grot/Gretchin to figure out what colour scheme to use and also get my head around how highlighting/glazing/dry brushing and stippling work. I've been watching a lot of mini painting tutorials on here and by no means do I claim to be an expert. It is the first time I use my airbrush on any minis and I'm also very new to a wet palette so I am very much a noob.
Here is my method which I then applied to 11 other Gretching to get me started and I was pleasantly surprised how fast this actually ended up being.
Best tip I've seen is WATER DOWN YOUR PAINTS!
Let me know what you think in the comments, I know I could work into these a lot more but with the number that I need to do I am happy with the level of detail on the final models. I am keen to improve my painting but presumably... I'll only get better with time right?
DISCLAIMER - Sorry about the blurriness at times, I will also get better at filming whilst I paint... this is also part of the learning curve.
Some of the Grots are from Gear Guts Mekshop and can be found here geargutsmeksho...

De’s gits is looking great bro

[@GarouGames]

Just finding this series.. I'm really enjoying the watch!

[@phill8178]

Great tutorial, clear and concise with fantastic results!

[@cryingbrushes-minipainting2754]

I really like the red touch on the nose and ears etc. Gives them so much character and really makes them stand apart from the Standard just green orks. Great stuff

[@thehermitworkshop2913]

Thank you!

You probably dont care but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream all the latest movies on Instaflixxer. Been watching with my girlfriend for the last few days xD

[@hunterzayne2730]

@Rogelio Valentino yea, have been using Instaflixxer for years myself :)

[@MiniMatthias]

[@Maccrack2]

Fantastic work

[@thehermitworkshop2913]

Thank you very much!

[@PurpleAngel8261]

Another great little video. Love the short length videos just straight to the point.

[@thehermitworkshop2913]

Thank you! I will be doing more short form vids for single units moving forward. Think the squiggoth and mek guns have a lot of elements which ate into the run time a bit! I prefer short vids as well!

So much work on those grots. Looks stunning though! You did a good job.

[@thehermitworkshop2913]

Thank you very much! I was actually shocked at how quick these come together. Setting a timer for when the paint was on the brush helped me stay focused.

[@Jamison1888]

I like the wet pallet idea look that comes across, also those paints seem very nice to use, I want to find a faster way at painting my boys grots etc. A boy takes about 3 hours so some of the ways shown here are very handy thanks.
