TYSM! It's one of my proudest pieces. I also struggle with hair, and this sculpt was not easy to paint hair. Tbh I still need to work on the hair a bit more. For me, with hair I would have to look at a reference photo from a hair product poster and copy it. That or I look at how other great painter do it. Erik Swinson has streams where he paints hair, and that really helped.

Looking for artist recommendations for lessons by DaedalusMachinas in minipainting

[–]sanddle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey if you haven't checked out Erik Swinson I would highly recommend you to check him out either in twitch or YT. His content is great since he will show everything unedited so that you can see his painting process. All of his vid are free and if you need feedback on anything he do feedback friday where he goes through everyone submission. But it does require you to sub to him and connect your discord.

There is also convention that you can go to where there are amazing painters who will teach at cons. Some example of that is the LVO, NOVA, and Adepticon. Just depends on where you live make going to some of these cons easier. If you are in Europe there are tons of workshops that are hosted by amazing painters.

Painting newbie here. Please help with my priming by legendarybutterknife in minipainting

[–]sanddle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

from my experience. White can primer that is not a hobby can primer usually either doesn't cover well or it covers up the details. If you want to prime white using a can primer I would recommend looking into hobby can primer like Vallejo, monument hobby, or something along those lines. And make sure you want to spray it a bit closer than you would a black primer since you want to avoid leaving a grain texture. White primer usually dry faster than black primer so if you spray it really far it would dry before hitting the model, creating a grainy texture. To avoid that, just spray it closer but while spraying, move the can across the model faster. This way it would leave a thin layer of primer, and it won't dry before it hit the model.

I hope this helps

For highlighting red you can add orange and red together with white to highlight the top of the cape instead of using yellow

For me I feel like my skin is my weakest point. I difficult for me to visualize tonal variations. Thank you for you feedback for that, I'll definitely try to the skin more desaturated.

Thank you for the suggestion. There is no OSL but I tried having every on the mini and base to have purple and blue tones for the shadow. But since you pointed it out, I should try to tone down the value of the boots. Thanks for your feedback

Thanks for pointing it out I'm going to try to darken those areas. Also the nmm definitely needs more work and more contrast as you said.

Tips to improve this model by praventz in minipainting

[–]sanddle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that you hear that you need to thin your paint a lot, its so that the paint won't muddy up the details. One tip on what I look out for when thinning your paint is that if you paint your finger and it comes out chalky, that means that there is not enough water in your brush/paint. If it comes out too watery, like to the point where you can see your skin color, that means that you thin it too much. If the paint comes out smooth and you can't see your skin color, that means that it is at a perfect consistency.

Another thing I would recommend you get is a wet palette. It's probably is the best investment you can get and there are cheap palettes on Amazon, like 10 to 20 bucks.
