Anybody have a good recommendation on the varnish to use to protect the models but not add gloss or matte
Hello. Thank you for all the great content. Learning lots from your channel. At 7.36 you mention that the shading didn’t work so well. How could this be improved? Would using a dark base colour, highlighted with the yellow/brown followed by the wash work?
I was refering to the wash just running wild. It could be fixed by controling where the wash goes in the first place. The point was not having to highlight much. sure, your approach would work, but would also take longer. (I highlight the areas in the follow up video)
0:55 using a "cutter knife"? Real men use bludgeon knives -proceeds to beat model into submission
www.linguee.com/english-german/translation/cutter+knife.html www.google.com/search?q=cutter+knife&sxsrf=ALeKk022ngZo6lnrbVV--FvY7LPonjxHGA:1613816799170&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiiwa-IoPjuAhVmsYsKHYX3BwkQ_AUoAXoECCUQAw&biw=1280&bih=613 what's your point?
Did you use a grey contrast paint for shading the linewomans pants, or just a regular paint?
a mix of contrast medium and grey like i say in the video.
Always great to see your brush at work! With all the theories out there regarding what brush to use or how to mix paint and water, theres nothing better to learn from than watching how someone applies the paint with the brush! excellent video!
I think I found my favorite painting channel. He dares to say it is a hobby you do not need to rush it. I do have a technical question related to this video what medium do I need to mix in to the contrast paint? liquitex matt medium or something else? I am a bit confused about all these additives and what they do ... I should just sit down and read some chemistry. I am a Physicist I should be able to figure this one out :)
I just used Games Workshops Contrast Medium.
i really wish i hadn't seen this vid !
Great videos! Your brush control is impressive. 👍👍
I cant even assemble the models in an hour. 🙄
@Trovarion Miniatures haha,
I didnt count assembly time :D
*Yes, but I want to paint **_all of them_** in 1 hour...*
Yes contrast paints are the better washes
My contrast paints don't dry flat, like in the video. I mix them with the citadel contrast medium as shown but they always dry glossy / with shine. Anyone know why that might be? or tips on preventing that from happening?
@Trovarion Miniatures Thanks my friend. I’ll keep trying until I get that Ork skin just right. Your videos are a good inspiration to strive to do better.
Yeah, they dry slightly glossy. You can add matt mediums, but any additional additive you mix in alters properties of colors.
Very nice tutorial. Thank you.
love how your black ork came out! gonna pick up some mini to try wet blending on. aslo bonus points for have german links :) also gained a sub!
Recommended ork skin recipe: tesseract glow over white, then athonian camoshade. Done, easy, and looks great.
Happy you found something that works for you.
i actually hate painting, i never feel like i'm good enough at it, and it's a source of anxiety and stress, i basically just gave up warhammer, because of that and also because the price for minis keeps going up and there is no justifacation for such price jumps, it doesnt just randomly cost them 20% more money to make mini's especially since they barely make any new anything, every box of orks i open so far has been from before 2005, except the beast/wolves boxset, so yeah, i just quit, never even finished the beast, i should prolly sell them all, but i dont out of fear it'll end up on one of these damn youtubes as "the worst warhammer 40k army ive ever worked on" videos
I've just got back into bloodbowl, not painted a miniature in 25 years! This is useful for when i start again soon.
Awesome
Hey there! Big Fan of your art! What color/imk did you use to wash the leather parts on the orc? And what basecolor is it? I really like the look of the gloves! I wish you a happy and peaceful christmas. Greetings from Germany Martin
reikland fleshshade
Is that a blood bowl orc please?
I mean...did you watch the video?
It looks amazing. I like how you explain that close colors are good enough and I liked your aging technique on the orc armor. The loincloth too.
“Painting to me is a joy, so why should I rush through it”... Well said, Sir! I’m one of those hobbyists that enjoys painting but never played, other than Space Hulk board game. You always impress me with your relaxed but focused approach, a very difficult balance to achieve.
Ive been using contrast the same way. Basilicanum Grey over metallics is a game changer for me
Chris please can you tell me which brushes you use they seem to old there paint and the point is awesome
It's in the description!
How to you fix the model to the paint handle when pinnint just one foot? How do you stop it from spinning, specifically?
i bend a few curves into the part of the pin that goes into the cork
Love this video! I initially found your channel intimidating because of your skill level but your step by step approach and flow is really good. I'm looking forward to tackling the Black Orcs soon!
Thanks for this video. What brushes do you use on the ork? They seems really good holding the shape !
Thanks! Links to the brushes I use are in the description!
mold lines ?? what are they !!
I also use contrast paints as washes, beside the less staining i find really convenient the good amount of different colors the come in
Awesome vid Trov, great job clearly explaining each step of the process!
I asked if you had used water vs mixing medium on another video. One of the reasons I asked was that I found the mixing medium to smooth transitions once dry. Regarding washes and contrast paints, I think contrast paints are simply inks mixed with a matte medium. I've successfully made my own and I highly recommend going that route rather than using contrast paints. You get a lot of ink and medium looking at say the liquitex line instead. The method you used here is nearly identical to the way I batch painted my pox walkers in one sitting. Loving the videos! Keep it up. Cheers
@Trovarion Miniatures I totally hear ya (and have seen from your other videos). It is a very efficient way of getting good looking stuff on the table so I applaud you for putting it out there. I actually didn't even fumble with metal paints and instead used a black contrast type wash over white. I figured I could put a semi gloss coat on it after a vanish to give it a metallic effect. It saved even more time as I was using that wash to do other stuff anyway.
I mean, this is typically not how I paint, because I mainly paint for showcase and there I don't use any medium. For quicker stuff, obviously technical mediums make sense, but this is only like a 0.0001% fraction of my painting.
" imperial LINE-WOMAN " oxymoron
Are you using super glue thin for gap filling?
any superglue will do.
Fantastic work. I am inspired to see it I can get to something like this in 90 minutes...
I love blood bowl, i hope you can do a beastmen in brune tunes, i see most of them in a pink tunes i dont like that. can you do that :) keep up the good work. more BB tut please
So you can mix washes on a wet palette?
@Chris Janquart you can "contaminate" the pad with any color. It just means that it's stained and not white anymore. It just shows that you are using your tool. As for metallics I'd be more worried about the fact that they seem to thin out a lot and a lot quicker on wetalettes for some reason.
@Trovarion Miniatures I know that Squidmar says that you can contaminate the pad with metallic paint so I haven't done that. Also had no idea that mixing washes on a wet palette was a thing, but I just started painting with one last week and painting again after a 20 year hiatus.
Sure.
Ive seen people use diluted contrast paint over dry brushing to help blend the colors and make them more smooth.
I'm up to painting now but its taken me a week to put them together, I'm really hoping it doesn't take me a month to paint these
What a beast. VIworld algorithm, bless this man.
Thank you very much for this tutorial (and others). Sooo usefull 👍🏻 and challenging. By the way, I can't find the reference for the dry brush you use 🤔. Cheers !!
oh yeah...it's a makeup brush...unfortunately i dont know how they are called. i just walzed into a store and bought 2 or 3 i found useful. sorry!
Nice demo. Shows that you can still make a nice job without speed painting. I think speed painting is popular because many gamers just simply can not reproduce the standards demonstrated by the Golden Daemon artists out there. Also many just do not have the interest but are willing to commit to the ethos of the game by not fielding the grey hoards.
Cliffhanger @Trovarion !!! Now I have to wait for video 2!
Wow, what paint did you use for that initial gold? it looks awesome!
Its an amazing result for the identified time. I appreciate the knowledge and impact of observed techniques.
Mixing crackle and texture plaste gave such a great result! Top tip right there.
Painting is fun...that's why I paint way more than play. There's no rush, I can play with "tabletop ready" minis and then paint them to a "higher standard". The only problems are sub-assemblies...the I have to wait to paint the whole mini to a level I am satisfied with to be able to play with them.
Great stuff as always Trov. One day I'll be able to apply paint so cleanly.
Speed painting just means bigger proportion of time spent removing mold lines.
Hahahaha
2:41 you said sepia wash. its a sepia ink? Did you mean to say sepia ink?
@Trovarion Miniatures thankyou
wash...ink...just different names by different companies for the same thing. I used vallejo game ink sepia.
i wish you said what colour you use at each step. at 6:11 what wash are you using? and at 7:38 what are you edge highlighting with?
Ok thanks for the replies
black templar contrast. and any bright metallics will do.
Hi! As a newcomer (I just assembled the 2 teams that come in the starter box) would you say its better/easier for me to use a spray primer or should I try airbrush or even brush? Tnanks!
@Alejandro Victoria Orts just start with a spraycan and dont overthink it. painting is not science. Too much thinking will stop you from getting to the actual process that matters: painting.
@Trovarion Miniatures Yeah, I get that asking for easier was not the right approach. I don't own an AB, as said, just starting, but I'm really trying to get into the hobby and I'm thinking on getting an AB in a few months. What I really dont get its why some people prime with airbrush while most agree that spray primer adheres best (maybe this is missinterpreted by me) As far as I know, AB priming can be more convenient when you cant prime outdoors, but as far as results... Would you ever do it over spray? . BTW, Im super grateful for you taking the time to answer, I was expecting a community answer (since it's been proving a great community in that regard)
what's easier is always an individual thing. I would use a canned spray - not a lot of prep needed. unless you have an airbrush and already own airbrush primer, then you dont need to buy a can in addition. I would not buy an AB just for priming.
I hope this technoque works on my house!
the basecoats would take me 90 minutes ...
what a wholesome video. speeding through miniatures, and ruining your weekend by staying up 24+ straight hours is a strange way to enjoy the hobby. I'll follow your lead instead.
Wow! Just great.
> Citadel Paints in Army Painter droppers "Even mortal rivals can come together"
@soundgarden 88 thanks for the info, i already knew AK interactive but i was unaware of the empty mixing bottles. Seems like a good choice to repot contrast paints (i usually use vallejo bottles i get from using primer and varnish) i want to avoid the spill and contamination risk. I have to repot my washes too, probably gonna look toward warcolour’s 30ml empty bottles since washes and shades comes in a 24ml pot
@Druido Bianco you should try Mix n Ready pots from a company called AK. They make high quality 17mil droppers with a Bright orange cap, wich look amazing next to Vallejo or AP bottles. But were not there yet, they even put a stainless steel agitator ball in there for you! I Just rebottled 20 GW paints into them with some thinner/improver. Good stuff! Highly recommended
@PabloBro not really, i pay 4.50 euro per 6 bottles, 0.75 per bottle. It’s double the price if compared with 15-18 ml chinese droppers but i like them because they are particularly short, and it allows me to see perfectly every bottle in my clear nail polish/paint organizer
@Druido Bianco yeah, and they cost more than a normal paint
Army painter also sells convenient empty “mixing bottles” 12 ml size 😉
A great secret i love on the orc is the relatively limited color palette! That scheme ends up being quick to paint! Great job!
After 5 years I still can't even paint a necron warrior in under 3 hours. So, we'll see.
I have a necron video too :)
Lovely video. Nice length and explanations. Very calming tone over the top. Have got the Blood Bowl starter set so once I’ve got through my current backlog I’ll def use your tutorial to get mine to look like yours as they look fab! Instant new subscriber from me 👍
This is AMAZING! So glad i was recommended this video. Liked & subscribed :)
YES! To know that my own contrast paint use style is approved by a MONSTER painter like Trovarion gives me so much damn inspiration to keep painting.
Enjoyable watch. Always something to learn from you. Schöne Grüsse
Fuuuck you make this look too easy
Brilliant, just brilliant!
Dude, you make some of the best instructional videos on VIworld. Thanks for making my hobby so much more approachable.
The contrast wash is such a good tip, thank you!
Es ist immer wieder erhellend deine Videos anzuschauen. Was mich dieses mal stört: Was du in einer Stunde hinhaust würde mich locker das vierfache an Zeit kosten :-D Übung, Übung, Übung, ich weiß. Danke jedenfalls, dass du dein Wissen mit uns teilst!
Great stuff!
insane how fast you get such a great result! those metallics also look great
I consider you to be extremely talented, educated and well trained. One of the best I've seen in you're craft.
"I know that speed painting is all around youtube right now, but painting is a hobby I enjoy" => I completely agree with you. I get the feeling that speed is the only thing some youtubers care about, sometimes to the point that it looks like they don't even enjoy painting. I love to seat and work on a miniature for a whole day. And my minis are precious to pe because I invested time in them
I like to take time on the characters. But being able to work on a miniature for a whole day isn't something I can do. If I want to devote all my spare time to painting, I have about 2 hours per day. Assuming I spend half that time painting, and I take 1 hour per miniature, I'm looking at 4 months to paint my army.
Mini painting is actually several different hobbies rolled into one. One of those hobbies is playing miniature wargames. Not all wargamers want to paint to the highest level of detail, or pay an artist for a commission, or play with unpainted minis, but they'd like to get a reasonably good looking army together. Speed painting techniques are for those players/painters. It's popular around VIworld right now because 40k 9th edition recently released, so a lot of players are picking up entirely new armies. Being faced with 30-40-ish unpainted minis can seem super daunting.
Hello trovarion :) Thank you. It will be nice to write in post prod the name of the paints when you use it, for people who don’t speack english very well (like me) ^^
the colors rotate through in the beginning with the exact name
Thanks for the video! I really liked your utilisation of the contrast colours and mention of the various techniques you used to follow-up later.
I am pleasantly surprised that you using contrast paints in a same way as I do. I always looked at them as a tool rather than means to paint a miniature.
@Trovarion Miniatures btw, how you deal with tidemarks, like the ones on the underside of an ork glove?
Yeah, I think that's a good way to look at it
Very nice seeing you using techniques that "normal" non-multiple-Golden-Deamon people like us use a lot. Seeing you dry brush felt almost like an heresy! ;)
10 days!! I need that shit now.
To the Patreon-Mobile, Batman!
It's probably worth mentioning that a model with sharp details does most of the work for you when you're using mostly washes, dry-brushing, and edge highlighting.
I really appreciate your content, it really helps me in my amateur painting haha! I think you deserve all the Patreon support you can get!
thank you!
Chris first off, thanks for using a paint brush in this beginners video and for explaining your painting process and ideas in a way that a beginner like myself can understand and not find too intimidating to even attempt. Too often I see miniature painters posting "beginners guide" videos of themselves spraying away with their three hundred dollar airbrushes rambling on about shading, highlighting, weathering etc... I can barely manage to thin my paint out correctly on my wet pallet, much less operate an airbrush effectively on something as small as a 28mm miniature. I get that the ability to do so is attainable with lots of practice. But in my opinion that is not beginner level stuff. Please keep these videos coming, they are fantastic.
thank you! Yes, it is a bit of a disconnect to expect people to have an airbrush, although i also love to work with them from time to time. I "grew up" using a brush though and I value everything I learned without the "crutch" of an airbrush, even though i absolutely value it as another tool in the box today.
Awesome video. A really good middle ground guide between super speedy battle ready, and more time consuming work. Goal achieved for sure.
Sounds killer
There’s a time and place to speed paint. Recently I was wanting to change up my painting of miniatures a bit so I pulled out some minis from my Dungeons and Dragons Board Game Box sets and had fun slapping on Some paint 🤓
That video really bring back the fun in painting miniatures for me. Simple approach, no gimmick or fancy techniques, just plain old relaxing hobby time.
I always enjoy your videos so much. Every time I learn something new. Thanks for making such great stuff.
Wait until you build the ork leader... less blood bowl more build bowl... the way gw cut some these models is so terrible.
I just ofund your channel and omg, you make masterpieces!!!!!
10:55 flashback to the first time I watched the Exorcist... love this, and your content - thanks!
The human looks funny, but I guess it has to do with the sculpt, not your painting. Very good ork for so little work!!!
16:00 Crack Cocaine
You lucky, lucky, ba.......! nice video
Wow that painting handle looks nice. Were did you get it?
it's by rathcore.com/ I know pk pro sells them www.pk-pro.de/Rathcore but maybe you can find them elsewhere closer to you!
So the secret to make a good looking black armour, is to start with a metallic paint !? Thanks for the advice ! (also your accent make it a lot easier to understand for a non native english speaker ;) )
Always a great day when there’s a new trovarion video!
Thank you for demonstrating what can be achieved in such short time without rushing and still enjoying the process of painting. I'm inspired so much that I'm already pulling out the paints to see how far I can get in an hour.
I'm looking forward to the next tutorial where you take these minis even further. This is the exact kind of content i'm looking for. I understand that a lot of people just want their minis on the table but i want to push everything i paint to my limits as i believe that's the best way to improve. Thanks for sharing your techniques, it helps inspire newbies like myself.
I guess, there is a time and place for both speed painting and taking your time with minis. I have to say that your experience really shows because of the ease with which you apply fundamental techniques. Great job as usual.
really excited for part 2!
How many layers are you doing for your base-coats ?
depends on the colors and primer color. two to 5 I would say, in extreme cases. I guess 3 are the norm. I basecoat with an airbrush, whenever possible.
Wish I could do that 5:07 - 5:10 in real life with a finger snap, instead of wasting precious hours on boring basecoating.
same! :D
I suggest Vince Venturella videos on speedpainting basecoats
BLOODB BOWL!!! Great to see your enthusiasm for painting. I really like seeing what you can do quickly and what you can do when you take your time. It helps place my own skills on the spectrum of painting. Dialing it up and down can be fun, you are right we don't have to paint to our max all the time :)
