It's been a couple of weeks since I last posted and in that time I've been quite busy not getting loads painted but working on improving my technique and ability, As a painter I am constantly striving to be better at what I do so I try and spend my time learning as much as possible and putting it in to practice with the skills I already have, don't get me wrong I am no golden daemon painter but then again I have only been doing this just over 6 months
This is the results of the last two weeks work of trial and error with the airbrush and using watercolour washes that Les from awesome paint job posted on you tube.
please let me know what you think of the new model and how much time do you spend learning and searching out new techniques

Looks great!
ReplyDeleteI found the biggest leaps forward I did was looking into other systems and materials, instead of GW stuff. GW's supplies are decent, though not the best - but most importantly if you're just reading tips and guides from people painting GW minis its easy to end up missing a lot of great products because you get too focused on GW stuff.
I personally prefer Vallejo paints, for example, particularly their reds and yellows. Finer pigment and better distribution, they don't get streaky when thinned.
Once I learned that, then painting via multiple coats of thinned paint, my quality shot up in leaps and bounds.
Mostly, though, read a bunch of people techniques, then practice, practice, practice.
Practice is much more important than anything else.
Great Deathwing, Luke. I really like it and believe you'll astound people in your local group when you put down a squad of guys looking like these.
ReplyDeleteYou've already mentioned it. I know it sounds cliche and boring; what I learn the most from is my mistakes. Putting time into a model. Putting it down then realizing how I F'd it up. They are often the simplest mistakes to make also. Too much wash. Drybrush too heavy. Learning to let go of my outcome.
You have promise keep it up and soon you'll have models that will instantly demand of the attention of anyone looking at the board.
