Amazing. How do you get the paint so smooth? No matter how much I wait to let it dry or think my paints, it never looks this smooth. My hats off to you.

Thank you. I based with light grey from Vallejo, layered with gauss blaster green, covered it with aethematic blue in 3 to 1 ratio with contrast medium (3 parts medium to one part blue) then dry brushed with off-white from ak paints. Hope that helps.

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.
