I loved the explanation of various hig
hlight tinges for blacks. Thanks for another great video!
Black primer is how I paint black. To basic to really comment on this I know, but thats all I did for black. This video shows I can do shades on black and still keep it black and not run into the pain of making it look like gray.
The more a think about it I can follow this step by step and us some other colors to give the black cloth a slight shade of red or green. The highlighting can change the look drastically.
My point exactly. It’s much more satisfying visually, and there’s no such thing as black in nature !

Nice one, shall have to apply this to my templars.
BTW was that a demon possession at the end Romain? Your far to classy to do armpit sounds 😉 Must be your doppelganger.
I was just… er… waiting for the paint to dry…
BoW Romain
lol this is why i love my job 🙂
BoW Justin
Perfect editing, by the way, thank you !
BoW Romain
no worries man, i always do my best 🙂
BoW Justin
yet another great tut vid keep up the g8r work Romain
Indeed another great vid. I’ll have to try black+purple highlight, that sounds like a great idea (in a dark and sinister way muhaha).
Thanks Romain!
Thanks ! It’s a little more complex, but I found this recipe works well :
Basecoat dark purple (black + indigo)
Shading with black
Highlighting with dark greyish purple (indigo + cold grey + black)
Final highlights with grey-purple (indigo + cold grey, with perhaps ice blue or ivory in the mix for the VERY final edges)
Let me know how you fare !
BoW Romain
nice shading
Interesting shading tutorial, and the cloth does look very nice. It comes up as a little too bright for my tastes but that’s really going to mean just using a slightly different mix based off this.
You mention that you do a primer with black, grey and white, and then you say: “See my other tutorial”, but i cant find it. Where is it? 🙂
On someones editing board I think ?
