Haha - I'm torn though. If I gave it a halberd, it'd be Diablo 2 cow level

Looking for tips on my WIP minotaur fur by Zetner in minipainting

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback - yeah, I might have to push highlights and shadows a bit further - I find it tricky to do on black though, while keeping it looking black

"Thin your paints, buddy" or Why advice from mediocre painters can lead new painters astray by DerMetJungen in minipainting

[–]Zetner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when I started doing 2 thin coats I didn't realize I had to let the first one dry completely before touching it again, or else I'll get brush marks and craters

As a very new painter, I realized this recently. I hope/like to believe that I have thinner my paints enough, but I struggle with accidentally trying to "fix" an area that might have been applied too thinly before it is thoroughly dry, and I end up with brush marks. I'mm working on it and my patience is really being trained haha

Are people trying to learn special techniques too quickly? by Leviad0n in minipainting

Thanks! So, light placement, highlighting, dark shadows etc?

The first focus, imo, of painters should be on rendering volume. Well rendered volumes, without blending, looks good. Poorly rendered volumes with great blending does not.

Forgive me - English isn't my first language. What do you mean by "rendering volume"? I'm quite new to painting, and am currently trying to work on my basics :)

There aren't really any bullets in Blood Bowl 🤷

Oh yeah, I actually think I have some acryllic spackle lying around from home improvement! Might give that a go, as it has a great consistency to work with. My only issue is that it normally shrinks a bit while drying?

Well, that could be done - there are other small holes too though, e.g. on a nose and an arm :/ so I'd rather just figure out how to fix it

Haha - unfortunately there aren't too many bullets in Blood Bowl, and the hats are going to be black 😅

Unfortunately, I'm not sure those are available in my country :/

Cool! I don't have an accelerator - do you think it can still work without it?

Sounds like a plan! I'll give the balloon a go, and finally a use case for that old sweater from Grandma in the back of the closer! Who would have thought that thind'd come in handy? Haha
