Blending takes so much time and effort, so what if there was a way we could just skip it? Today, I'm painting a Tyranid from Warhammer 40k's Leviathan Box using dry brushing, stippling, hatching, and scumbling.

What is your favorite speed painting technique but you still want quality?
the name for slapchop is stupid, but i think it is the best.
Airbrush (✧ᗜ✧) I build garage kits from separate parts so it works best
airbrushing with inks!
Get someone else to do it, and hope their good.
Drybrushing. Lot of snobbery about it, but it establishes depth and detail real fast.
Jokes on you, I never learned to blend in the first place!
As long as you're having fun!
Plot twist, the video was made to root out the non blenders. Blend police are on their way.
What is this none blending Heresy ? The Inquisition has been dispatched and will be there dreckly
@@jeremybarbic6635😂😂😂 nice one
Yeah I’ve only been painting for a year and just haven’t tried any blending techniques just yet.
Hi! I’m in my 50’s. My adult kids are really into D&D and I’ve fallen in love with painting the miniatures. Love your channel and I’ve learned so much! I bought the little dremel like tool you recommended in one of your videos but I need to know what that little straight bit you were using to sand down the mold lines. Hopefully you can tell me. Thank you for the great videos.
Oh my. Forgive me, I’m so old. I figured it out 😂
I love your work. You keep popping up in my feed this week. You have some amazing videos.
Omg I was thinking of this exact way to paint my world eaters! Ive never painted minis before and your channel has helped sooo much
I personally dig seeing some brushstrokes and think a lot of the models that win competitions look overly smooth like an airbrushed magazine photo!
this.
I always like seeing a new video from Lyla, I feel I get better watching her paint and explaining how she's doing it. Thanks for the video!
The insight of lines on fabric and dots on skin was perfect! I will apply this right away!
The trick I've found to doing skin on larger models is something you touched upon -- you need to add some texture and imperfections, which your stippling and scumbling provide. I do the same kind of thing in oils on my display models.
You can get similar results with an airbrush as well. I saw a seminar at Wonderfest two years ago, where the artist was painting a large bust, 1:2 scale IIRC. They used an airbrush exclusively, and the first layer after the primer was basically scribbles in a shadow color all over the face. They repeated that in progressively lighter shades, adding in some speckles before a final light coat of the base skin tone. The effect was like seeing blood vessels faintly under the skin, with some light freckles and age spots.
I figure if I watch enough of your videos I will get to understand and learn more especially brush strokes and how they transmit the texture. Thanks for these great videos Lyla.
I love the word scumbling! Gotta start doing it now xd
I've never heard of these techniques, thank you so much! I love when you teach new things like this, it's why you are one of my favorite youtubers!
Brilliant video great tutorial love the model too wanna get me one of them 😊
I like the painting, and then face to camera almost podcast style of this video. Works a lot like Max Miller Tasting history. Nice work. Good video. things I'll have to try when I get some time
Fantastic video! I'm looking forward to implementing some of these techniques in my next mini :D
Let me know how it goes!
Smooth can definitely be overrated. Sometimes the atmosphere of a mini calls for more rustic, chunky highlights and I think it's our job as mini painters to make that call! Blending can be good, but it's not a catch-all technique! Great video as usual Lyla!
I have really struggled to master blending. This technique feels the right way to go for me. 👍
I don't blend. I do use dry brushing, washes, dry brushing, edge highlighting, and a final wash. I have added speed paints to this process, and I'm very happy with what I've been painting.
Great stuff friend 👏 👍
Nice Job :) This ia a great variant of the same techniques used for half tone and optical mixing
Glad you like it!
if I understand correctly these are mostly variations of the layering technique?
Models look great :)
What was the difference in time in comparison the your "traditional approach" using glazing, blending, etc.?
Blending is easy, start with your midtone as the base coat, block in your darker lowlite, then simply glaze that over the midtone at the transition, finish with a wash in the deepest recesses and bright thin highlight, the issue is that most people try to glaze with colours containing white pigment, all that happens is that pigment simply separates and doesn't tint the previous colour, it just adds white
Huh...I didn't know that my clumsy and haphazard jabbing away at my miniature in a mad attempt at creating texture had a name (scrumbling)! I aim for texture half the time anyway since if I'm honest, I'm competent at blending at best. I can pull it off well enough if I have to, but I'm learning that I much prefer texture instead.
In 1987 the back page of the Ral Partha miniatures catalog had a one page painting guide called "Painting the Ral Partha way". This is basically that technique from so long ago. No "secret" about it.
I really dig the finale. but i wish we could have seen the one from the thumbnail?
Same! I came for the awesome thumbnail and was really disappointed to not see it in the video. Still a great technique showcased, but for me it was a bit of a let down not to see the screamer killer. Would love to see it in its own video as it is a sweet model and im sure Lyla would do a great job with it.
These are techniques used in ink drawings. Interesting to see them applied to paint. I think I organically paint like this anyway but I never thought to apply it to minis. Going to give it a go 😊 I think they turned out great 💜
Great ideas. I will definitely be using them the next time I want a blended look
Very nice effect on the fabric!
I thought you were on trial for murder this week, glad to see you can still upload
I never got the hang of blending, but I don't enjoy doing it and I don't enjoy looking at it. There's something lifeless about it, like a computer render. That figure looks frickin great!
Never be afraid of brush marks in the finished work, it's a painting for f's sake! 😅
Superb
As someone who is not an artist, I've always considered these techniques to be "blending", I just would have described them as rough or textured blending. Still pretty time consuming to do to a decent quality though, not something I'm going to use on 50 Termagants, haha.
Got a nice dark orchid vibe from the carapice in the tyranid, i dig it!
That purple undercoat is big brains
Well, at the very least, I now have names for techniques I have been using for years, lol!
I see all the cool shit people do, and I've just gotten into contrast (still need to work on my dry brushing.) My regular figures I've learned that I just don't have the artistic eye for your kind of quality. Miniatures are basically color by numbers for me. It's nice to see though that I paint very similarly to you as far as basic techniques. I just can't make the connect to do highlights and lowlights. I'll swipe some nuln oil under capes and limbs, but that's about it. However I'm happy with what I put on the table and my friends think they look good. I shall forever be an average mini painter.
Mmm Scrumbles. Scrumbling is my fav.
My go to technique is preshading and glazing. Both for speedpainting and display painting.
Absolutely I'm not going to glaze everything. Tried that... never again. I'll still find myself wanting to do a few glazes right at the end to tie things together just a little more, most likely using inks to increase saturation at the same time.
This . . . this is how I've been painting my blends . . . Is this not how it's done? I don't know how to wet blend, so I've been doing it this way.
Cool, I'm using youtuber-caliber strategies and I didn't even know it 😤
Absolutely love the fact you put the colour your using as a desktop icon. Your rapidly climbing the mini painting world rankings in my opinion. You've made it into a very short & exclusive list of coaches i recommended to other, lesser folk. Like me. 😊
I do a lot of stippling and layering. But I finish with a quick glaze with the airbrush to bend everything toguether. That's the 11/10 "secret".
well, shucks....
Ive been doing these techniques and calling it blending...
guess thats why you're the proffesional artist and I'm just a hobbyist! LOL
outstanding results nonetheless, very informative too. who new that what I call 'toshing-out-a-blend' is actually called scumbaling?
Been doing the textured highlight trick for some time now and really enjoying the results.
you know what? Its worth mentioning that although its good to know these techniques and the nomenclature of each, to facilitate better communication with fellow hobbyists, its not vital to know the names and all that, to just enjoy the hobby. as long as it sparks joy and creates results that please you that should be enough.
thanks for this...
Thanks again so very much for the inspiration 😊👍🏻 Your methods are easy to follow and effective 👨🏼🎨
I think the conclusion is: Our eyes want to be betrayed 😉
Best wishes 😊
I'm new to painting minis but I have been painting with acrylics for years. What's the difference between using high quality acrylics like winsor & newton and something like citadel paints. I've been painting with my old acrylics and I like the outcome but I was wondering if there was an advantage to using a paint sold for minis.
I want to say I've heard that the pigments are finer and there's more fluid? I remember it was either on this channel, or Dana Howel's, and there were cute blob creatures for the not-pigment part of the paint.
That is one of the most time consuming techniques you could have picked for painting "anything better and *faster*"
scrumples a great name for a kitty! :)
My mom caught me scrumbling my hormagaunt once.......
Scrumbling!?!? That’s a new term for me!
Wow. This is great.
Ah! I see you using your art history background to good effect to make use of impressionist painting techniques here!
I try!
Wow, never been the first to comment. Always happy to get more tips to paint faster!
Congrats!
My brain was hacked!
Wow!!
It’s Scumbling not Scrumbling.
Scumbling is the technique of scrubbing an undiluted, opaque, and generally pale pigment across others for special textural effects or to raise the key of a dark-coloured area.
Scumbling | painting - Britannica
Scrumbling is a crochet term.
She clearly said "scumbling", what are you correcting here?
As long the model looks cool, i don't care if you just did layering or "720° Da Vinci manuver".
Nice video and blends! In the interest of accuracy, the term is “scumbling” - no “r” in there. Cheers!
She clearly said "scumbling", what are you correcting here?
Doesnt scrumbling damage your precious brushes? I am concerned that using this technique could easily bend and spread the hairs on my expensive babies :(
Jokes on me I can't blend in the first place.
Hope this helps!
@LylaMev it's always a help. Even for a 4th rate panter like me your stuff is always real helpful. Thanks for all the awesome videos, dude.
I think my brain is broken, it's not filling in the blanks and these blends don't look smooth to me :(
Like #990 what do I win?😅
Comment. Comment.
Thank you!
Don’t forget to like and comment to appease the almighty algorithm 😁❤️👍🏼
You're the best!
Its faster than wet blending for sure but definitely not better, be ok for mass units but that's about it
19 hours later.... Look guys I finished a termagaunt. Just another 119 to go.
