A great poppy finished figure to get on the games table John.
Hey John, Thanks for showing this technique.
In nut shell I may be wrong but using paint or contarst and wash over gets you cleaner looing painting / model? I dont thin there is any difference in painting time.
Hey again. sorry that meant to be a question, ‘ I dont thin there is any difference in painting time.’ from your experience John, would you agree or there is a difference that I missed on video?
Eh, it’s really down to how much “effort” you want to put into it. I’ve always liked “underpainting/preshading/slapchop” As it always gives your eye a better idea of what needs paint, what can stay in shadow.
You can make it quick by simply saying “just cover the main colours” which works best in an army painting approach. And still lets you revisit it later when you feel you can afford the time for more detail or little things you really wanted to include.
Really cool to see you paint up an LOTR mini! My favorite game.
Thanks John, very useful and informative.
