Zenithal in Miniature Painting

[@rustedbeetle]

You can also take pictures of a zenithal painted mini for reference photos to paint in opaque volumetric shapes. When you paint over the zenithal layer, you have the option to paint in transparent layers leaving the contrasting zenithal to become your shades and highlights. Or you can paint over in opaque layers using your photos to guide you as you paint in the highlights and shadows with other colors. Those zenithal stage pictures become an invaluable resource for guidance in painting.

Great tip about using white ink. Been doing that for some time now and it works great. Goes on real smooth.
