Finished Background for you to use:
Hi Love your videos they are just amazing. One thing i am wondering when you do the edgehiglight you are using the tip of your brush, I am usually using the side of my brush angeled to the edge of the figure.
Is there a specific reason you used the point of the brush. I guess you can have bigger area of light with the point then the flat middle part of the brush to the edge? Also if you want a bigger area then just the edge you need to use the point i guess… need to test some more myself.
Hi John! I use the point of the brush for edge highlighting only when I can’t place the side of the brush properly. If you watch the beginners video I use the side only in the bottom edge of the leg cause the edges that are on top are easier to paint with a straight line using the tip. Hope it helps and thanks for your words 😉
Can’t wait to see this! Do you have an estimate regarding the availability of the other video’s? Will it be weeks or months?
Kind regards and all the best!
Laurens
Hi Laurens,

Hi Aythami,
Love your work and videos. I have a question about red acrylic. You say that it “stains” could you say more about what that means?
Thanks so much!
Ben
Hi Ben,
Thanks for your words!
Sorry, I meant “shines” instead of “stains”. Red shines a lot so you have to add ultra mat varnish AK 😉
Best regards
Hi. I was wondering if you might know what those vallejo colors could be “translated” as in citadel colors. I only have very few vallejo colors and it’s not easy to get them for me. Can you help? Thanks.
Hi Elia,
I really don’t know any citadel color but i have an advice for you. Check the Color video of the Akito bust. There I show you how to mix starting with the primary colors. You will learn a lot and grow as a painter. Then you should get the basic red, blue and yelow from citadel and experiment trying to follow the marine video 😉
Sorry to not be able to help you better
Hi
When painting minis, do you use a loupe or a magnifying glass? Is there any recommendation you could give?
Thanks, love the videos.
Regards,
Richard
Hi Richard!
I’ve tried this glasses before but I’m never comfortable with them. I get dizzy.
I work perfectly with nothing else that the help of a camera to take pictures and check out the symmetry of the eyes or the little details. Sometimes even the best lenses can distort a bit the reality. Camera never lies.
Take care!
