I started wargaming 30 or so years ago, and seeing how much better miniature painting has become is insane.<br>Thanks to everyone who has truly made this a form of art.

Best video you guys released on this channel thus far. I appreciate the recap at the end and practical theory that's not difficult to follow

As a 3d artist and painter, its so cool seeing the evolution this hobby has gone through the past couple decades.<br>Everyone that does this and is levelling up, learning lighting, colour theory, values, etc. You're not just a hobby painter I consider you all artists, props to you all.

I think these higher level tutorials are amazing and really useful to anyone painting to a display or competition level. Keep it up!

So glad to see that fine arts and miniatures Painting are finally merging together, I'm pretty sure grandpa's painting Napoleonic busts learned more from it from reels about making blood angels armors. Now the best of the two worlds is meeting and the results are increasingly better in a very little time window

Well, this is maybe the most interesting video, or let's say, the video with the most value in terms of learning, you ever released. Cast shadow is something really tricky. This king of thing you tell yourself : I want to try but... where do I start ! Here, you just shown everybody : guys, start here ! And now, we just have to practice. Thank you for this, I just finished to watch the video and the only thing I want is to take a bust et work on cast shadow right now !

this is the best tutorial I've seen from you guys yet, and it's not even close. This feels like exactly what I wanted from here. Tutorials on advanced techniques, taught with a high quality paint job, and to treat me as though I'm already this skilled, I just don't know the technique yet. Don't fuss about with the basic or intermediate parts of this like paint consistency or what direction to push the paint. There's plenty of other channels that people can go to for that. I need to understand the the color theory, why it's that way, and see the process of blocking and blending used to get to the result.

If 3D printing - you almost want to print two models, and have one set up under your preferred lighting while you paint the other one in front of it.
