Teaching a NOOB How to Paint Warhammer So You Can Learn From HIS Mistakes!

[@Miniac]

If you enjoyed this video, you'll enjoy this one too! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpW6ZImEms99gLM

[@MrNeelneel]

You're really finding a sweet spot that hasn't been found in painting youtube so far. I really like this long form, conversational content. It is something that you can uniquely do and you're nailing it.

[@davidjohnson-rj7op]

Yea, I really enjoyed this and found this really useful. Having someone who isn't as good a painter as you ask questions is really helpful as it's the kind of questions I would ask.

[@JoeCapurso]

100%. This actually may have been the best explanation of layering that I’ve seen on a KZbin video.

[@kevinkerlin5603]

Agree

[@miguelramirez5972]

First YT painting video that feels like Bob Ross x Bob Vila

[@tbohn10]

Yeah, a paint with me / interview with tips or q&a cpuld be fun

[@ShonuffCor]

YES! These are the kind of content for mini painting that is missing from KZbin. EXPLANATION in less of a "this is what I did".. more of a "This is how..and WHY I did this." This content is why I can't quit you , bud. KEEP DOING THESE!

[@mechabuddy]

Please more of these videos. Jimmy asked fantastic questions too

[@Miscast]

The questions asked were v good

[@Buffaluffasaurus]

Totally. Jimmy was a great guest on this episode, would be so down to see more content like this about other subjects, with him as the student.

[@jordanmccavour5999]

Those were some really great questions. More "teaching a noob" videos would be great haha.

[@johdo_lodet]

Can't agree with this more. :D

[@MrSJPowell]

I got 9 minutes in, and audibly said "This is one of Scott's best videos in years". Seriously, this is an incredible resource. Excellent work Scott. This is a great tutorial.

[@Maeggoel]

Please do more of these videos. This and the other one you made are some of the best, because less experienced painters encounter problems that many experienced painters don't think about the same. So it seems organic. Many of us have the same questions and make the same mistakes as the less experienced painters in these videos.

[@mf2943]

I do actually love this series as its one of the worst things as a new painter to get into - not painting faces - but starting out in a field where so much knowledge is just seen as "yeah of course thats what/how you do it duh". If you want to expand on this, please think about adding something like painting "clean" flat armor panels in different styles, like classic eavy metal and contrast/speedpaint or with an airbrush or inks, and have your guest talk about how they felt about the different approaches.

[@ArchDragon340]

0:54 those clippers have seen better days good sir.

[@billdefranza4927]

Wabi sabi. 😊

[@comradezero]

Most wargame mini sprues have alternate heads, so you'll have heads left over after assembling your figures. Save up all those extra heads and use them for practice.

[@Dodovacer]

My plan too. It is such a useful (and for a change - affordable) method to make improvement possible.

[@MikeScarbro]

This was awesome, Scott! I would love to see more of this kind of video, especially with a guest as good as Jimmy. He asked some insightful questions and the explanations you gave were top-notch. Keep up the great work!

[@ryanlopezdevinaspre]

I'm almost halfway through and really enjoying this video. A couple of initial thoughts. 1. Appreciation for the "layers graphic" at 16:40! That was really awesome, easy to overlook as a viewer, and probably took a fair amount of time. You should know that it was fascinating and helpful. 2. I found this format really valuable. As a teacher, I know very well how, no matter how hard you try to cover everything in your instruction, people will always have other questions/needs, and you communicate differently when answering a question rather than just "lecturing." I thought this format was awesome and helpful. I wouldn't want you to do just this, but I'd love to see more of it. It's a unique format. I'm sure it's really tough (heard you say something to that effect on TUP), but it would be worth doing again (other than the fact that it would open you to SO MANY fans trying to get on 😅). Great work!

[@donsgibson]

Awesome graphics.

[@josephzimmer5385]

I love your style of tutorial videos. I'm not sure exactly why, but there's something about your presentation style that has always stuck out to me as exceptional. Keep doing what you're doing, because it's great.

[@adiebland9220]

As usual another consummate video. This vid should be in the tool box for every miniature painter, amazing, I love the start of each phase coverage shot, Scott we the miniature painting community salute you.

[@laurastanleyneelindquist1806]

Noob content is great. Love the conversational quality and the noob asks questions that viewer noobs would have but might not occur to the experienced painter.

[@nputman]

Great video partnering up with someone you are teaching. I really like the graphics showing the layering process and wish there were a little more as you got into the highlights. Thanks, Scott!

[@DingusBingus.]

This was one of the best painting videos I've seen in a long time. Please make more of these. It was extremely useful and well made.

[@anthonywaggett9317]

Your face painting videos have always been the best - I still refer to your make-up tutorial video. Having a none pro with you definitely makes this more relatable and now I see why Ninjon sometimes uses the arrow tipped brushes rather than the round brushes.

[@Admin-rn6ym]

This is my fav style of painting video! A noob asking questions with real time direct answers is SO useful!

[@Pud26]

This is actually so clutch dude, such a refreshing way to produce painting content. I think the reason the guys at cult of paint have been killing it is their super approachable style, and this feels like your take on that. Watching you coach someone through a process or sat with another great painter both trying to tackle the same mini and explaining your process is such an organic way to teach your audience new tricks or methods to achieve a good result. I'm assuming these videos are more complex to organise as youve got to get someone else in the studio but please keep making them. Need to see a video of you and jon applying nmm to a golden tendie

[@karstedt9987]

I think it was really good to have Jimmy there asking questions on the spot. It brought out some things that might otherwise go unnoticed. There were some good points about hard to reach spots that got brought up.

[@benjaminjack867]

Scott, this is far and away the best face-painting video on youtube. Thank you! Especially love the graphic showing how the highlights overlap

[@mrbigphil22]

Man I love your tutorials Scott, they are so informative, easy to follow and enjoyable, nearly 40 minutes and it flew by, felt like seconds but I learnt so much! Thank you man!

[@rileyraccoon9673]

This was a fantastic video Scott. So glad to see you uploading more often! :D

[@erikbraun473]

Pretty excited for this one as someone who decided it was a great idea to pick up the Darkoath box recently.

[@donsgibson]

I hope filming this video was as enjoyable for you as it was for me to watch and learn from. Scott is a great teacher because he truly listens, and this is easily one of his best videos of 2024 for us newbies. It’s so refreshing to see such down-to-earth ideas and tactics, with no egos involved.

[@nikroth]

I started little by little replacing my Vallejo with Warpaints fanatic. The triads are very very nice for beginners. I buy 3/6, all odd ones starting from the darkest. Because the even ones are 50/50 mix of the left and right paint in the triad.

[@Pariah_Larry]

This was actually super helpful and not boring. Usually I’m fast forwarding through painting vids but you are genuinely entertaining to watch/listen to! Thanks for the informative vid brother 🫡✊

[@crumblewolf]

These type of videos are great because its not just what you did but what you did and why. Having someone newer getting taught added an additional layer as well as they were asking questions and you were answering, questions that most likely a lot of people would ask. Great video and I hope we see more like it.

[@adamnemmers2092]

This was one of the best videos you've ever done. The interaction between the two of you and the step by step was really fun and educational. Great job!

[@figureartout]

Another awesome video Scott and brilliant questions from your community 😁

[@jamieward771]

You have no idea how much I needed this video. Hoping to find plenty more videos on bits I have been struggling with while painting my army. I have subbed. Thanks for the help.

[@M.Melnick]

Excellent video super helpful, thank you

[@adammotter]

Without question this is the best tutorial for this kind of thing I've seen yet. Love that the questions as a novice are being asked! Things that otherwise get lost in a comments section. This is much more of a "class" than a tutorial that creates more questions than it gives answers. The layer building slides are the best part to help distinguish each one.

[@AdamEllershaw]

Spectacular video, really well broken down and explained. Having another painter present who you were teaching really added to the video as well, it's a really interesting format and one i'd love to see more of. I've painted this specific head on my Orlocks so it was great to see you go through the process and I learned a lot. Probably the best intermediate face painting tutorial video on KZbin. Thanks!

[@Z1LT01D]

4:21 bruh you eating paint??

[@Illindi]

Jimmy ain't noob, great questions, so more potential master. Love this format and in depth talk through. Evergreen. Vince will have to watch out :)

[@MiniAxeCrafts]

He waits until I've finished and failed hard at face-painting in my new diorama before revealing his secrets... Well played Scott. Well played... I'll undoubtedly return to this video many times in the future to mine the gold.

[@brent_the_programmer9108]

Wow! This has been one of the absolute best painting videos I've seen. I'd love to see more of these. Thank you so much!

[@ROMANLAPPATMINIATUREART]

Beautiful to see your awesome teaching skills grow in the meantime... Beautiful to see your explanation skills grow. Love your attempts here. Amazing video. Thank you!

[@bvshmaster6990]

Man I’m stoked I found your channel. I’m a new painter, and trying to unlearn the “mid tone/wash/highlight” method is interesting. I guess that method also has its place

[@nplm99]

Biggest face painting tip is magnifiers

[@meles_ludens]

This is one of the best teaching material for mini painting to date. Very well made, accessible and the presentation is great. Well done Miniac

[@MarcinEstkowski]

I think this is really valuable for the viewers of the channel, when you instruct and give advice to an actual person sitting next to you. This way you don't miss something, that is obvious for you, because you have to tell the student what to do and how to do it. Plus, you can see where your advice lead the unexperienced painter and correct it immediately. Thank you for this video!

[@C3ns0rious]

Really enjoyed this video. Also the little shaded examples images of how much to cover was cool. Good idea doing that very satisfying/good teaching tool.

[@nefarioustim]

This is a truly excellent tutorial. So many good tips and tricks, especially around texture and brush strokes. Thanks Scott!

[@HandsWithLegs]

This has been one of the most helpful painting videos I’ve watched! Really should have far more views, it would be great to see videos like this on more topics

[@SimonClark]

Phenomenal resource here Scott

[@kivitelezo]

OMG Scott, you keep comming up with better and better video ideas. This one is pure gold! I don't know how much were Jmmy's questions "scripted" but these were really good questions!

[@dracorotor]

How am I expected to finish my 9-5 when I suddenly need to go try these tips on my models at home??

[@JynksterDM]

i plan on watching this like 50x; SO SO helpful Scott! Thank you so much!

[@STOOJIE]

Easily the best and most constructive face painting tutorial. Any beginners following this are onto a winner in no time. Well done soooonnnn👌🫶

[@gameyybuilds]

This was awesome. I really want to improve my miniature painting and learned so much. Doing and teaching are such different skills, and you’re a master at both!

[@jasons6973]

Scott.. bro... more vids like this! Please! I've been painting for about 2 years now and the questions that Jimmy brought up are some of the exact ones I've had and that are NEVER covered! This hit so many subtleties I've never seen covered before, things the pros take for granted but us newbs struggle with: thinning, brush selection, etc.

[@jasonjacoby8420]

Great video, loved the map/% face layer images! Super helpful

[@Elfeeta]

Great video! Loved the format, the elaborated explanations and overall pace of the video. More like this! Vampire faces next?

[@wtfserpico]

This is an awesome video! Heck, this might be the single best how-to for face painting I've ever seen. Bravo Scott!

[@nathanlovin]

Jimmy was the perfect companion for this! His questions were excellent and really helped elevate an already incredible tutorial.

[@alternate3787]

I really enjoyed this one and I feel like I learned a ton. I painted the face of a friends DnD miniature today and could try things out. Concerning the eyes, I only have old Vallejo Game Color Dead White and Black, but I feel like these behave poorly for painting eyes. The black is very thin and gooy, the white also doesnt have a great consistency. Does someone now a good white and a good black for painting eyes?

[@robbierevels3674]

This is chock full of great advice! Definitely going to save this for future reference next to some of your older videos, and vincey v's

[@redrooster7371]

Awesome video. The back and forth between the two of you was really nice to watch.

[@harald2101]

another great example why i love your channel. best minipainting content on youtube!

[@sirottaro]

Perfect timing Scott! I am getting ready to paint some hero models for my DnD group and I was actively stalling on painting the faces. Now I am all out of excuses! Time to put theses tips to the test! And: Thank you very much for answering my question. ^^ I will try and be patient to learn the right consistency.

[@harald2101]

Man, I can't stress enough how much I love your videos. This is again exactly what I was looking for!

[@amutant]

This is a top quality video? So many others say you just this and you just that, 2 second demo and it looks like golden demon. Here, real time, clear steps, practical advise on brush control. Really good. 🎉🎉

[@leedolian4482]

Dude I am a content marketer and this is legit the best informational content I have seen on this. Keep doing what you are doing. And thank you for giving me confidence for painting my own figures :D

[@RCBONK]

I've been subscrubing for years and I believie this is one of your best movies so far! Super informative, super interesting, super inspiring. I really like the longer format which alows you to deep dive into the topic and not only scratch the surface. Keep it up!

[@olivierreeves8201]

Love this video format, explaining to a total newbie and taking their questions. I find far too many videos have "this is how to draw an owl" effect. Hope we get to see more of this format in the future!

[@aaron8977]

These are types of videos I need! I just started painting and I’ve been mostly happy, but some of these tups are gonna help me out a lot!

[@Gamer-Drek]

Excellent video and it dropped at exactly the time I was really struggling with this. I love that you went through step by step and explained and demonstrated the process. Thanks man!

[@John_is_Ogre]

Dude! This is such a great video! It's awesome to have a relatively new painter to ask you the questions in real time! This is so helpful!

[@xgymratx83]

This was a great video. All the viewer questions were spot on. Just painted the SW Legion sleeper cell and made an attempt at eyes, but wasnt terribly pleased. I will try the dark fill around the eyes on the next set of the same figures. THANK YOU!

[@JustGamer058]

This actually is very helpful video when an actual somewhat beginner and ask questions live and everything is being explained so throughly. Very Nice!

[@infinitelycuriousbyoliviag3380]

1: This was awesome and super useful!! I would love to see more content like this. 2: how much paint have you eaten with 20 years of licking the brush like that? 😅

[@ScottySpeeks]

This is a really helpful video. I would love to see more like this on stuff like capes, edge highlights, basic nmm. Great work!

[@samsam5066]

Really enjoyed this video and really makes me miss when painting tutorials showed up in my feed

[@lestatsev]

Good stuff, also showing the layers on the face enlarged with the different colors was a nice touch to really show how much you covered in following layers.

[@Staffan18]

I really like your brakedown on how to get a tip on the brush and how to approach painting the eyes. I feel like i've been trying to find how to do it, both with practice but also from guides. I feel like you nailed it =) thank you

[@axtmann]

This is a fantastic format! I think having a novice right there next to you provides you with questions and issues that form organically and are likely to answer the same concerns I have when trying new techniques.

[@JadeCatMinis]

I really liked this video and I hope you will consider doing more content where you bring a noob in to paint a thing. I myself struggle with skin tones, highlights and layers. I feel the urge to get into my hobby room and paint.

[@leecave8574]

This super detailed step by step was great Scott (and Jimmu) I'm off to paint Khal Drogo from my ASOIAF starter set who had been intimidating me. Also my 12 y/o Son Max has surpassed me as a painter over the last few months. It's a dichotomy as I am super proud but also secretly a little peed off. Imagine if under your tutelage Jimmy's face had turned out better than yours. Subscribed till I die and painting more minis.

[@Lebannehn]

NOOOOOOO, TAMIYA CLIPPERS, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE

[@liberalhyena9760]

They’re not meant for cutting wire. No wonder he broke them.

[@evanmcfarlane9679]

I've been looking for videos like this for so long. Awesome stuff mate. Love the format. Thanks from Oz

[@EvLmongoose]

Holy cow this is great! Thank you for asking all the awesome questions

[@Zeft_Dylis]

Thanks you for the video. It is so rich of informations. The questions asked by Jimmy are excatly the one that I would ask myself. The content is right in the sweet spot of my painting journey. I watch a lot of content with lot of advanced technics but lastly I realize that what I lack are the fundamental and I need them for the rest. Hope there will be other video. Thanks a lot !

[@RobertN734]

I do my model's eyes first after the base coat (an example in my profile picture). I start with the pupil color, then make big off-white streaks, curved slightly to leave a pupil, extending over the brow and cheeks. It's easy to change the directions of the pupils by nudging the curves. Then I re-apply base coat around to lock-in the eye shape, and continue highlights as normal.

[@shawnmott3826]

I hate painting faces,but love the learning process

[@jedrzejwilinski8148]

Yep, Scott, you've got an exciting approach to making tutorials with this one. Nicely done!

[@telepaten]

great video, great guest. Love to see the encouragement and casual painting hang

[@thewynnest]

Saw it mentioned before, but absolutely love this long form painting content. Super usefull and relaxing at the same time.

[@guldbart]

This format is both, entertaining and educational. Really really helpful! Great work, keep it up! ❤

[@lowellGHD]

This format should be a series where you take someone (patron or whoever) and walk them through a painting technique in person. It’s an awesome format for a video I think and it brings out a lot of your knowledge that is very useful

[@elastibus843]

This was an awesome Video! Thanks a lot! It‘s awesome to have a comparison to a less expierenced painter. This helps to set my own expactations right

[@joshuanolet8679]

These kind of videos are what WE NEED! Thanks Scott!

[@DarkAbyssMiniatures]

Scott that was honestly the best face painting tuition style video I've ever seen. Top work

[@lorinolsen6094]

Awesome video! Easily one of the best face painting videos out there! Thanks a ton!

[@notrelevant1800]

Dude make this a series asap, super helpful

[@matthewring8301]

The interactive teaching is great. I also like the digital image explaining the layers.

[@baring9152]

This was a great idea for a video. I've certainly struggled a lot with faces and this was valuable information.
