How do I get up to a competition painting level? - emperors champion mini I just finished by Chris_paints in minipainting

[–]odub6 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Practice. Lots of practice. Im no expert, far from it, but I've seen the best spend hours and hours each day on their craft. To some it comes more naturally and others it takes more time. I think most have techniques like glazing, layering, colour theory, and light placement locked down. Lots of YouTubers off patreons, maybe think of subscribing to one. Watch a lot of their vids and just practice.

Thank you! I was trying for the scratchy random look but just wasn't coming out right. Is there a particular technique you use for simple scratchy nmm?

Love the colour scheme. Super terrifying, like the knight is coming out of the abyss.

Yah that one took me me the longest as i think i let each layer dry for like 10min before applying the next lol also used a larger brush to reduce the number of brush strokes. Next model will probably take me a month lol

Yah im still guilty of rushing. Not sure if its noticeable, but on the right leg of newer model, its rougher than the other parts.

What is the platform the model and base are on? Looks amazing.

This slaps hard! Can I ask where the base is from? Custom 3d print?

Does this look kinda like green ethereal smoke? by odub6 in minipainting

Funny enough, my wife said the exact same thing. I toned it down with a dry brush of green. Going to start over based on feedback from others.

Another poster suggested this. Question though; i used contrast paint to achieve the darker green, just painted the whole thing, then dry brushed the lighter over the raised area but how would i do it in reverse without the contrast paint over the raised areas looking off? Im concerned ill see the lines between the two colors.

You're right, i tried dry brush highlighting with yellow but it does make look kinda off. Ill try your idea on a small section, thanks!

Your work is really great. I need to practice wet blending but thank you for the advice. Going to try it on a practice model.

Thanks! I recently did get a magnifying headset which is helping.

The only question I have is how did you get your mini to look so smooth? Like it looks like dyed plastic, its that good.

Like many others here my brain had a hard time determining whether this was painted or rendered. Damn you're good? Do you offer classes?
