So how is the kickstarter doing?? Ship anything out yet????!!

Hello Emil, I’m seeking some advice on painting, I tried to contact you in Facebook, but got no response, what’s the best way to contact you?

[@54tisfaction]

You never mentioned what miniature you were painting on, at least I couldn't find it. What is that elvish archer with green hair for example?

[@abcdodd]

Art lessons: magnificent. Causal plasma pistol on desk: priceless.

[@davedogge2280]

If you're painting a mini of Star Trek's Jean Luc Picard there is one way of painting hair.

As someone who's painted alot of skeletons, dead things, and bald guys this will help out tremendously :) thanks squidmar!

As someone who's just about to paint a load of eldar heads, with sexy top knots and such, this is exactly what I needed to see!

[@MadoraFu]

I want that third mini really badly, what is it? :O Beautiful video as always, so much appreciated!

[@tristanlapoint1798]

Great video! Another good reference for painting hair on miniatures is anime and manga as the art uses simplified/generalized highlights for hair that translates well to miniatures.

[@PJ-gg4zh]

Thanks squid mar!

[@thewierdpaintbrush7121]

Howto paint hair: cut it of and paint the mini bald

[@szendroib]

Great video Emil! I'm happy that we got a real painting video again after a long time, and it is a great topic.

[@ChromeDrakeGaming]

I've been pondering how to paint the hair on that first sculpt for yonks. You've just unlocked it for me! Thanks very much Squidmar.

[@srsgoblin]

The thing you kind of touch on without specifically mentioning it while painting the hair on the Marine is the concept of the Golden Angle. I'm sure you and most others here know the idea but for those that don't, it's simply the concept of "which angle this miniature looks best from." Painting the highlights based on how light would reflect in it while viewed from this angle is usually gonna give you the best result.

[@SuyePhoto]

So excited to paint all the busts from the Kickstarter 😍😍

[@theultrasmurf5998]

that space marine is amazing but with that hair looks so much better

[@dougsundseth6904]

For really clean examples of idealized hair with interesting lighting, look at advertisements for hair coloring and hair care products.

[@NukeGlendale]

You have nice hair. Evolution is great 🙂

[@alucard592]

Simple and great - instantly improved how I paint, particularly quick hair. Thanks.

[@napper8960]

I have only just got back into painting Warhammer 40k mini's, after a 15 year break. and i have forgotten how hard it is. but loving the learning curve of coming back into the hobby.

[@jjr4acre637]

base paint then dry brush mid tone, works every time

[@MedicMatt6891]

Emil if you ever take on students I'm moving! My wife and I are going to get started painting miniatures as a fun pastime, and these videos are amazing! Much love from the states brother!

[@kindlyathena416]

Thank you for this video! I've watched so many videos on hair... And have kind of decided on my own personal way I like. It's always nice to see different ways to paint hair

Your so good I wish I could paint like you when did you start playing warhammer and painting the miniatures I’ve just started and I’m twelve

[@lawrenceinsley4114]

Are you still painting? I think the best thing for you to do would be to take inspiration and some tips from videos. But you will improve the more you paint and you’ll also find your own way of doing things as you go. Just keep at it.

[@ModelMinutes]

Great! Thanks for this - will be using this when I do my figure painting (or elements of)

[@mai2015]

I'm sat at my desk paining as this video drops... Emil is an omnipotent God who sees all and bestows upon us mortals exactly what we need when the time is at its most dire

[@ronidon8497]

Incredible, as usually. Does anyone know the third mini's name or link?

[@visuellegedanken]

omg that arch revenant conversion. mind blown. I’ve mine already finished, but I might need to do another one and steal your conversion idea. :D Video is awesome, too. WIll help me a lot for future minis!

[@jonashenriksson2182]

I´ve always struggled to paint hair, hopefully I can improve a tiny bit from this :)

[@DJRugger]

Awesome video. Caucasian and Asian hair behaves in this way because its round and channels light almost like a fiber optic. You should illustrate the curls of african decency hair, because its much flater it reflects light quiet differently and in a cool way, as it amost collects light exclusively at the tips and remains inky throughout especially on shorter hair stlyes, small 40k style minis often have hair thats scuplted in a way that could represent any racial hair type and it would be fun to show an example of that.

[@4SelfmadePromise]

Man, how I love it when I see you uploaded a video. Great stuff! Edit: oh, and hi Viktor!!

[@apollux012]

I've watched this video like 10 times now, while trying to paint the hair of a bust XD Already scrapped 4h of work, because i didnt like the outcome and spent another 5h trying a few different things o_O But i am starting to like the current version :)

[@NeoNaiche]

Great tips, this was super helpful!

[@WandelnderGeck]

thanks for the video Emil. I am bald so i don´t know anything about hair

[@saulsmith2939]

I keep coming back to this video. Thank you so much for this tutorial, it's in my opinion the best hair painting tutorial anywhere.

[@rustydowd879]

Hair has luster. Try mixing in a small bit of an appropriate metalic into your hair colors.

[@cbrando190]

I have been struggle bus’ing with the rogue trader space marine without the helmet. That miniature’s hair looks like a helmet and his face has sooo few details it might as well be the: “Thin your paints” meme lol

[@RhodriKneath]

Quick question if that's ok. How would you paint a shave stubble for male characters? (The type which is not a beard but thick and deep enough to upset the skin light reflection.

[@williammountfield8508]

Nuln oil

[@mouselim72]

Manga and anime has always highlighted hair in the ways that you specified :) By the way, what's the third miniature? From which company? I love it!

[@psychodrumman]

What size are most of your minis? I know most of my D&D minis are 25-28mm and they seem too tiny to be able to paint as good as you!!

This and skin tone are the main reasons I stick to painting monsters. Truth be told, I find the contrast paints from Citadel turn out nicely on hair.
