Okay got it: Step 1: Draw 2 circles Step 2: Draw the rest of the owl

[@McGoughable]

I understood that reference!

[@klug5916]

Easy peasy. Especially when thge owl looks back at you with the glowing eyes

[@PeterResponsible]

@@McGoughable Explain please, I did not :)

[@necpwnz]

@@PeterResponsible it is old as world joke about teaching to paint. Usually it is used on visual meme where on step1 we have literally circles, and on step2 finished 5h drawing of owl. That means that in this video Lukas told us that this guide is ez, about basics, and yet deploying high level paintjob which novice painters obviously will struggle to copy.

[@SlumdoctorTrillionaire]

yeah. no hate to squidmar but these painting guide videos are genuinely useless

[@cameronfateweaver2206]

Painting the best faction in all of Age of Sigmar yes, yes!

[@bocktordaytona5656]

I would even say the best faction from all warhammer in general including 40k

[@Coolcat1411]

Yes yes agree agree

[@lupuskonig9]

@@bocktordaytona5656 🤔

[@ArexSant]

@@bocktordaytona5656 I agree! Long live the horned rat!

[@reekhadol]

Maybe it's just me, but I love Lukas vieos and Emil videos more than Lukas+Emil videos, when it's just one of the guys at a time it feels like they get to bring out their personality more thoroughly.

[@klug5916]

That's actually a sharp buut clever comment!

[@n6356583]

I like the way they bounce off each other when they’re in videos together! They’ve got great banter.

[@Zeramos_]

And it’s a lot less KZbin zoomer memes/cuts in the solo videos

[@sy210687]

Closer to Emils original videos!

[@dwardy]

I think there great together and apart

[@LordSquee]

Emil crying out "You are wrong!" was so hilarious. Loved the grand reveal :)

[@seanrice437]

Hey guys! Long time watcher and lurker, first time commenter, just wanted to say that having the color you're using in the moment pop up on the left hand side of the screen while painting is fantastic. Hope you can continue that in other painting segments in the future

[@nanabella007]

"Automagically" 😁 that's gonna be my new fav word!

[@gdmunn83]

The grass tufts bit 😂😂😂😂

[@havelock1982]

The suspense is killing me, reveal your vallejo collab secrets now!

[@nevetz845]

The incredibly upsetting disinformation contained in the evil "near future" words is insufferable!

[@jamespuckett9753]

Congratulations on your upcoming paint line. A very nice pat on the back. You guys deserve it. Your opinion means a lot to us.

[@RedPatriarch]

not a criticism, just a thought: i think maybe going for a darker grey fur tone and using the texture technique to add aging grey hairs in certain areas could've given an interesting detail of how old and battled the rat is.

[@daffke]

Thank you! Finally a pure painting video. Keep em comming :)

[@RobespierreHadItComing]

This is probably my favorite piece of content y'all have done so far.

[@douglasfazzani269]

One of the best "how to paint" videos I've seen

[@mikalichou]

So yeah the paiting quality is great, but I was actually more impressed by all the thinking that went into the highlights, color choice, color position etc, it was really cool to get an insight into it

[@kieranham3002]

My favourite type of videos that you guys do, your style has completely changed my approach and made me a better painter. Appreciate you guys, keep the videos coming.

[@MarchHare55]

This is superb. Skaven have always been my favorite, and this is just a wonderful thing to see. Love it love it love it!

[@svelle37]

love this so much. actual good information packaged in a format not targeted at absolute beginners while still being useful for beginners (imo). with not being targeted at absolute beginners I mean not adding the usual "I add two thin coats of paint to give the mini a consistent coverage" fluff.

[@coreyframpton8561]

Loved the video! Hope to see more of this army getting done!

[@PeterResponsible]

Well done Lucas. One thing I liked about this video is that you've shown every color you used in each step. It's something easy to follow for us.

[@SpontaneousSquiggle]

Gorgeous work, Lucas! Always love your fantastic use of contrast to make a mini shine

[@kivitelezo]

Lucas slowly became one of my favorite f**king painter of all time. F**king love this vid.

[@joan500x]

Amaizing paintjob!!

[@DaHobbles]

MOAR!! I NEED MOAR!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Another great video in the catalogue! :)

[@andresperedo1275]

"In no time" he said. 100 clanrats in my backlog (+ the new ones). That will require time, I can assure you!

[@gammothdraws]

This video convinced me to get the Skaven half of the Skaventide box. I was kind of unsure since I don't really know anyone who plays AoS, but I thought, might as well make it an art project then!

[@Rastinsd]

Lukas! You are the man! Another fantastic paint job and awesome video. Thank you both for all the inspiration you provide!

[@bogmire3000]

Really loving these more painting focused videos.

[@DonPerrin]

What a great video! Thanks so much!

Looks amazing

[@mallus1001]

Simply love your videos ❤🎉 thank you both for making this so accessible 😊

[@nicholashannan9862]

I love all your videos but this one is My favourite video so far because it was very technical and had some real substance to it.

[@artofadamlumb952]

Fellas. Proper painting videos two weeks in a row. You are spoiling us. More please. I personally prefer blending but I paint for display not armies and I love the Squidmar approach for bold contrast. The punchy colours, bold contrast and value jumps certainly grab attention (especially from a distance). No one way of painting is right. (Now get blending 😉)

[@telepaten]

Great paintjob, the model really works well with your painting style.

[@wesleygillis5061]

More videos like this please, love It!

[@Reefhd2023]

Goes without saying, you make painting look easy! Very skilled 😊

[@benwithnall335]

Love it. Love an Emil tutorial

[@synwan]

Great simple guide Lucas! Only thing to really call out is how much practice is needed to get the brush control you talk about, and how much practice it takes to place the highlights convincingly. They aren't *difficult* skills to develop, but they do take time to develop.

[@B4MBI72]

This is why we all need to paint more mini's! or was that another youtuber 🙂 But its true the more we all paint the better we get, even if we don't think so ourselves, we are always our harshest critics.

[@pez5767]

Really enjoyed this one!

[@Fuzzycat16]

Great tutorial . The " Don't Blend " is a great advice.

[@jacekolkiewicz9667]

That is f*ckin amazing painted mini, You and Emil are both GOATs!!

[@alwoodsmodellingmayhem]

Really enjoyed this Lukas. You guys are refreshing when it comes to painting as even I feel I could follow what you are doing!!! Great video with some fun moments which helps. You guys are possibly my favourite figure painters with Ninjon a close second.👍👍😉

[@tomlindahl3592]

Really love these practical "how to paint" videos.

[@alistairnorris2211]

Next time you do this, can you include how the hell you're meant to paint the underside of a based model? Makes me feel like a idiot every time I paint yet noone ever talks about it haha

[@willpenn966]

Honest answer? Either carefully, or don't. Just paint the underside enough that nobody bothers to look closely at it.

[@thingmate7361]

If you're having trouble painting a based model, it may be worth trying to paint it before basing. Easier for some stuff than others, but it does mean you get easy access to everything

[@BarokaiRein]

If you don't paint the underside, it just looks like a shadow.

[@Flori-han]

Brilliant!

[@SaraGrapes]

I want to see a model totally covered in grass tufts now.

[@gammothdraws]

I saw someone's Von Ryan's Leapers, and the entire lower half wasn't visible because they were in the bushes lol

awesome!

[@serpentine8124]

great video!

[@user-uq8bg7ey7l]

First and most importantly: Lukas I love your unique style! Second: showing the used paints is a huge improvement for nOObs like me! Another great video from the squidmar team. I’m not sure if the community agrees, but I’d love to see a video introducing the whole squidmar team.

[@BlueBoy0]

I've love to see you try your hands at some Lamenters. I've literally never seen a single photo or video of a miniature painted in their chapter colors where the checkerboard and logo on their shoulder isn't a wonky mess.

[@tzeentishere]

perfect timing i just wanted to start painting

[@jasonphelps9795]

As always another great video. Lukas, you nailed it. I’m excited for this set and look forward to seeing you guys paint more of it. As for the how to…..I tried to do more advanced techniques before I got good at the basics. Walk before I run is hard for me to do. I want to be that good now 😂

[@JasonPoley]

Ah mate this video was fantastic, nice one

That blending thip might be the best painting advice that I've ever heard

[@TheCloneLord]

I'd love to see Lukas do a plague marine I find the details can be overloading to a painter and be nice to see his approach for a newbie 🤘

[@Surge7-hs63k]

Great painting as always!, Also I hope the new models that come after this boxset for both the Stormcast and Skaven arn't just more boring hero's, and are monsters, dragons, battline units, and elite units like the newer giant-er rat ogre thing (can't remember the name), im already disappointed we got yet another hero revealed (the one with wings), like Gw just give us some dracontith battline units like Tempesters but have wings and no riders and come as a unit of 3!!!!! THAT WOULD BE AWESOME, MORE DRACONITH UNITS!!!

[@TheAdventureMilk]

More Scaventide stuff please!! ❤

[@AoSCoach]

Damn you've killed it with this tutorial

[@Kreated_by_khaos]

this isnt out till the end of july some time , so its a long wait but worth it

lets goooo u guys r the best

[@DamianM90]

Surely this vid has earnt Lukas an extra cookie!

[@morganmorgan-morgan2582]

Great video. I’m excited to start my Skaven army too. What about a video on getting all those clan rats done - getting a balance between quality and speed? Maybe how to use an airbrush effectively when army painting?

[@bryanolivermusic9011]

So I'm getting ready to paint my space marine homebrew chapter and a majority of their armor will be a bone color similar to deathwing armor. Every tutorial I've found uses washes and I've tried them but there is just so little control! Would love to see you guys tackle deathwing or bone armor on space marines using this contrasting highlights approach. I'm considering basecoating with a dark brown and then working up the highlights like you talked about here but it can be really tough on the often smooth featureless surface of space marine armor.

[@EwokOverlord]

awesome.

[@wilbert1865]

Cookies for you! 🍪 well done. Good tutorial. And I enjoyed your humor.
