Thing that gets me, he is painting dark to light, its supposed to go light to dark.

u kinda screwed it up. u shud have started dark at the bottom and highlight to da top

@Cipher100 Actually, you’ll see that fur is frequently lighter underneath a creature. He wasn’t highlighting this.

would it give the same effect if I just made a brown and lightened it up then smoothed?

I don’t see why you’d go from a dark brown to a light brown from top to bottom…

so… did i get that right… when i use drying retarder i dont need water?

That is just so much easier than doing seperate mixes for the paints. Makes it more consistant if you use it a lot. I may have to get some reaper paints, I don’t like the waste you get off citadels because they don’t have the dropper. I tried using pipettes but it doesn’t work.

@plaugedon3 – Amen.. man.. people that cant paint just shouldnt be making videos.. Im old skool.. my figures are very good and ive never used anything but paint and water.. use proper amounts and you can blend perfectly without blobbing, its all about opacity and consistency, also.. u NEVER!! need 5 paints to make essentially a lighter brown
2 would do.. perhaps!! 3.. this guy doesnt need paint dry retarder.. he needs painter UN-retarder.. to top it off the model looks HORRID!! at the end.

@fear432 Some animals, such as timber wolves, are darker on top, and yellow/white on the bottom

Oh, ˆI see, so then I suppose he’d just drybrush a highlight on afterwards. I don’t know, I’ve always thought and used wet blending as a way to highlight smoothely but to each his own.

Thanks for the video – some painting techniques you just can’t get unless you see a demonstration.

What kind of paint are those? How much per bottle? Are they Gamesworkshop specific?

Mike. Good video. It’s a great technique that I haven’t thought about in a while, and it’s exactly the kind of tool that can inspire gamers to want to make really awesome mini’s, quickly. Very good, thank you.
