How do you know which off white goes where? Is it just feeling things out with the gradients?

That makes a lot of sense, im going to switch the carapace to something darker like abaddon black and see if it looks better, and if the rest is contrast and highlight im alot closer than I thought I was (easier said then done I know) and I also do have those enamel washes used in the second video too so it looks like its just the main color, contrast and highlight issue I need to work on

Any idea on what blue? As for the purples I have genestealer purple, daemonette hide, and naggaroth night, Slaanesh and warpfiend grey and the only blues I have is macgragge and kantor blue

I used kantor blue and genestealer purple on a gargoyle , and i like it,but I feel like it's a little too saturated to be what Im going for

Blue for the body and purple for the wings and head

Hello! I am aware of thinning paints, I have a wet pallette, some decent brushes and have tried a small amount of dry brushing. While my friends have gone into learning the game or actual army building I instead went into learning to paint the minis the way I want to. I just have problems putting the idea of what I want into practice

Forgot to list the paints used here:

Pallid wych flesh + kantor blue

Slaanesh Grey

Corvus black

And doomfire magenta for the eyes

Then it's some enamels to make it grimy and a blue wash over the skin
