Hello, can I ask you for some help? Can I somehow paint my marines by using airbrush but also using “macragge blue”? Or I must buy special paints for airbrush?
Several really subtle but massive takeaways from watching your videos are: 1. The paint drying on the nozzle. This helped big time. Never realised why the paint wasn't coming out 2. Small quick presses of the trigger. I was always too heavy on it, before. 3. Several coats to get that great, solid coverage. . Thanks for all the tips. My air brushing is massively improved.
I've watched this video over and over and over. I swear that trigger is not moving back at all. It looks like you are just pressing down for air! What wizardry is this? Please explain what's going on here. Look at 6:48 for an example that has me completely bamboozled!!! Thanks for the awesome vids.
@@AngelGiraldeZ But isn't yellow (or orange) the complementary colour of blue? I do think that the reddish tone works better as a shadow colour here, but just going by colour theory?
@@BoredLyron What a complementary color is depends on many factors. For once there a different color wheels for different purposes. Some show yellow as complementary to blue, some orange. Additionally Hull Red is in fact an Orange/Brown hue but with very little chroma/saturation. Mixing complementary colors produces neutral tones, which harmonize well. Thats at least my personal take on it.
Awesome! Fantastic tutorial! Thank you for sharing. This helped me out a lot. The Vallejo Model Blue (first color) looks super vibrant. Never seen it before and ordered 2 right after watching this. Can’t wait to try them out!
Cool video. Adding the hull red makes a cool purple colour which is great in the shadows, it also adds contrast because of its opposite on the colour wheel.
Purple is a solid shadow color for blue, by keeping the original blue and adding red you make a shadow color that still contains the original color. Also side by side images of before and after for the latter highlights would be cool to see
Adding red to blue creates a desaturation of the color, same works for adding a dark color on the opposite of the color wheel for other colors. Cool stuff!
@@BigAbeTwelve Desaturating is part of how colors work when getting less light. Instead of just adding black or a darker color, desaturating it will give a more realistic and interesting effect to it, as well as increase contrast between the shadows, base, and highlights.
Looks great! I love that you demonstrate shooting Model Color through the airbrush with just water! Many people give advice to never use Model color because it's too thick. Very cool. I am currently moving house but when I get my station set back up I look forward to shooting some Model Color!
Hull red and blue mix will create a natural looking shadow as a contrast to lighter blues that are clearly visible i think. Violet shadow will be warmer comparing to dark blue and gona look bit more realistic. Anyways, great tutorial like always!
You pushed your highlights towards green, so it makes sense to push the shadows towards red, because it's the complementary color of green. You create a chromatic contrast this way.
Thanks for tutorial, it is very comprehensive for begginer like me. So far highlighting I made pretty well but making contrast and shadow went completely bonkers 😂 Anyway I think 2 or 3 more tries and I will finally make it too. Cheers!
Red is complementary on blue. So it absorbs blue, since the figure is blue the red filters that color out makin it very dark blue as a real shadow. Just as you go diving, take a red ball and the deeper you go the darker it becomes. Below 30 m you observe a black ball.
Hey there, not new to Warhammer, but very new t air-brushing figures. This video showed me what can be done..well :). Can you let me know what air-brush you have, the psi settings, instructions on how to start, and of course, how to become better..to your standard. Thanks alot.
Hi Angel I think you use the red, because it is the complementary color to blue and in the mixture, its creates a harmonious purple and thus blends harmoniously into the overall Mini shadow ! Greetings from Germany =)
I'm guessing here with the hull red. But adding hull red to the mix makes a dark purple to the mix. When painting in shadows, a shadow is never pure black light is always reflecting off of other object and finding itself in shadows, so some light is reflect back. A dark purple is complimentary to blues and creates visual interest to the area. Second guess: you like the color and wanted to add it.
Adding red will desaturate the blue mixture, so the shadow will not be that vibrant of a blue. using colours from the opposite of the colour wheel will desaturate the colour.
a dark red creates a good shadow color because it keeps the blue saturated while keeping the value *dark*, as opposed to black, which would *desaturate* and fade the color.
Amazing video! Do you have any suggestion on what to do when u make mistakes when filling in other colors?? Am thinking of gloss varnishing the entire model after the airbrush stage. Then selective oil wash in the recesses. Then I will use Matt varnish to seal the oilwash in + remove the shine hopefully returning it to pre-gloss varnish. And start filling in colors + edge highlights. With varnish maybe I can use airbrush cleaner to brush off mistakes?
Because as you share in the second volume of your book, washing with a complimentary color creates more contrast and depth, where just shading with black will desaturate the recesses.
Hi dude! Love this video and have found it super useful for most applications of colours with my airbrush but when it came to the Green Grey layer, I found that I got more splat than spray. Is my dilution wrong? Also, you say you're using a 0.15mm needle but my smallest needle is a 0.2mm. Have you any tips for getting that highest highlight with my slightly larger sized needle, pleeeeeeeeeease!!?
Do you add green to the highlight and red to the shadow so they feature the opposing hues on the colour wheel as well as luminosity? To push the contrast even further?
Hei Angel! Appreciate your videos a lot, and watched it like a hundred times haha. I got myself an infinity solo recently. However, i notice you dont actually ever really "pull" on the lever when painting and just press down. How do you achieve this? When i try it, there's just nothing coming out sometimes. It's not constant. I work with a 0.2 needle and 1.8bar. I thin my colors with thinner and use vallejo model color. Any advice? Not thin enough? Thanks a lot, and greetings to spain!
Love your videos Angel ! I have the same airbrush , what psi are you using ? Or is it a light touch with trigger. I can't seem to get as close as you without spider web .
This is the best guide! I have a question. In the video, small details turn blue. In the Instagram photo, small details such as a wreath, aquila and others are painted in black. Did you use a liquid mask, or did you paint black with a brush later? How does black help further?
Hello! If I want to make those light effects not so dominant, could I skip the last step with the green color or should I just spray more in the resaturation process? :)
Great video once again! Thanks for it, Angel! 😊 Hmm...I suppose, for the base colour blue is a rather cold colour, you add red for the shadows to get a good contrast for red is a warm colour? Just an idea, because you added purple in the previous videos as cold colour in the shadows...🤔
Hey do you use the same bar pressure to apply 1 layer of high light? I notice you mentioned 1.8 bar for base coat but I can’t find anything about highlight.
Angel GiraldeZ really appreciate these tutorials. I’m tuning down the blue from this video when I paint the “Actual” best chapter. 😜😝🤪 (by which I mean the Crimson Fists...)
Angel GiraldeZ nice! Would love to see how you paint a nice warm yellow...everyone always does either straight bright yellow or it ends up desaturated because they mix too much white for the highlights...or they use way too much brown in the shadows and it looks like burnt toast :). I’ve been experimenting with the yellow recipe you use for Yu Jing in your book and trying to lighten it a bit for Imperial Fists. But now I’m going to wait to see what you come up with when you paint your Imperial Fists. :)
ok. I'm a pretty big airbrush noob. so, in the video you keep dipping the airbrush off screen. are you dipping the point in a fluid to keep the paint from drying? my main problem is paint drying (and thus clogging) the airbrush when I'm working. sadly, due to my inexperience i have managed to kill 3 airbrushes. now, granted they were $50 brushes, but still. 3? lol if you have a video on how to stop clogging and how to clean properly that would be awesome.
Is the model air blue the same as the model color blue? Also mixing blue with a little sky blue or ivory will get me some royal blue? dont have that color atm... ;(

A guess: since blue is a cold hue, adding red to the shadows adds a bit of warmth to help contrast the cold blue hue.
yes, more or less, moreover the red is the complementary color

Never would have figured out you can quickly clean the needle with a quick little brushing. Thanks for that tip!
Red is the blues complimentary colour and adding a complimentary colour gives a natural shade to the colour 👍🏻

I hope mine look half as yours do some day. Practice practice practice!
You have more control with an airbrush than I have with a brush. Looks great 👍
practice makes perfect :)
Hull red was added because it's a colder tone but is also considered a compliment to the shade of blue you're using. Great tutorial as always!

Great Video Mate! Thanks for Sharing 🎉
Thanks for watching :)
I love Ultramarines and your videos ;)
Good to hear that, thanks :)
The red desaturates the blue as its a complimentary colour and adds warmth to the shadows, adding contrast in temperature as well as in hue.
💙💙
I have issues with clogs in my iwata HP-CS, I mix the paint in the cup usually so perhaps I’ll try your method of mixing in a little dish first.
thx! i was looking for a video like this! :)
Red hull to the blue gives it a purplish tone which works great to shadow blue.
it is the complementary color :)

Beautiful work as always!
I think... you add the hull red to desaturate and warm the blue to provide some additional contrast to the hints of yellow in the highest highlights.

The red helps bring a better contrast by blending a blue object to a more natural violet tone. The black then helps bring down the saturation.

Making closer to a dark shade of purple

Red is an opposing color on the color wheel so itll add a deep shadow without being a sharp black.

Thank you for this guide, realy helpful.
:)
I assume as it's a warmer tone compared to the cold blue and not desaturising the colour by using just black...?!
the reason why i think your adding red, is because it goes against the blue adding more depth ( but im no pro so i just guessed :/ )
Do you add green to the highlight and red to the shadow so they feature the opposing hues on the colour wheel as well as luminosity? To push the contrast even further?

Hull red add temperature contrast vs the cold blue.
how do you tell which spots to do highlight or when to stop spraying
Create contrast with colors as well as brightness contrast
Thanks!
Adding hull red will create a warm contrast to the shadows.
and moreover the red is the complementary color
What size needs are you using each stage please
I would like to see how you would paint Space Wolves.
I'll paint a Space Wolf soon ;)
I also want space wolves please 😬
Could you make a video like this, but for Salamanders primaris marines? Also with the dark skin tone?
Today we are painting smu.. I mean Ultramarines
You added red because its a complementary color to blue?
💙, yes, it is :)
You are adding red and black to get a dark violet'ish tone. Since this vil be the colour of blue shadow. And vil bind the blue to the black.
Brilliant tutorial man would love to do an interview for a documentary I'm doing for university
I'm shy 😅

I have to buy some Black Legion miniatures :9
I think hull red iis opposite color on color wheel, so it adds much contrast than just black.

I'll talk with them but if you want,on my store you can get my books www.angelgiraldez.com/en/10-books
But sky blue is a mix of white and deep blue… So… you can use white in a smaller quantity
Hull red and black make a dark purple which in turns makes a great shadow color?
yes, the red is the complementary :)
Red contrasting with blue
the red is the complementary color
You are adding whole red because you don't have half red?
I added red because this color is the complementary :)
hull red and blue make purple and that adds depth
