Videos like these take me 40+ hours to put together when I include scripting, recording, editing and painting the miniatures. If you appreciate the vids, consider supporting this effort however you find fit! BTW, It's my Birthday today! How old do you think I am? 🤔
I love the short style of these tutorials. Many other painting channels just drag on and on, but Zumikito's videos are densely packed with useful tips and get straight to the point.
I am not a Warhammer or phantasy guy, but military modeller. What I have learnt so far is outstanding af. Thanks a lot for these awesome how to‘s. Highly appreciated!
Thank you for the easy to understand tutorial. including the saturation and hue was particularly genius as this was one of the pieces I was missing. Bravo
As someone who loves painting minis but doesn't feel like they understand art concepts, this video was super helpful especially the last part that went over hue and saturation. Thanks!
I really like the "in 5 minutes" series. You make everything easy to understand and keep it simple. These have really helped me understand these concepts I keep hearing about in different videos.
You're a boss, as someone who's frequently running out of time to work on things I really appreciate these concise and accurate information bites. Keep it up!
Hi. Just a message to say : thank you. I learn so much by watching your videos! I wanna be a pro painter, but I still have a lot to learn. And you are one of the best teachers I found. Keep going!
Thanks mate! I've really improved my skills thanks to your 5min explanations - because there is nothing superfluous. Just general priciple, and it's much more useful than 40-60 minutes workflows. Please keep it up!
I absolutely love your videos, humorous, well paced, very professional, slick and informative. And most importantly they are easy to follow and inspire me to paint better at a pace to suit my skill level. Subscribed and binge watching some more vids. Thank you for your hard work.
Nice video! One thing I would add, 2 brush blending is mainly used to speed up the blending to avoid it drying while you are cleaning your brush and not have to use additional mediums. Depending on your local temperature and humidity, the dry times can be significantly different.
I love how you remind people that it isnt just one blending method than done. its several put together!!!! too often, and i fell into this trap of thinking loaded brush or wet blending or feathering would create a smooth blend easily. But you always have to go back to smoothing it out!!!
Omg that video was that I needed. I thought I am symply to silly, but now I see more people have the same Problems with wetblending. Thanks a lot for the contant
I decided my new year's resolution for 2024 is going to be finally learning how to paint minis well. In the first 40 minutes of the year, I did the typical approach of painting my Ultramarine with a black primer base, dry brushing macragge blue over top, giving him chunky and then fine highlights, and then re-defining the edge of the black parts. Then I decided to take a break because it looked like shiiiit. Then I watched this and went back and re-defined the edge highlighting with the chunky highlighting color to get the edge highlight lines as thin as possible, then blended out that chunky highlight color using the two-brush technique. I'll be honest, it's still a messy first shot, but the two-brush technique was super easy to wrap my head around and was an immediate improvement.
Once again! Something I've heard explained or mentioned like 15 times, I now understand clearly after a 5 minute video. Thank you!!! Also, I'm gonna guesssss... 32? It's hard to guess with nice skin. You could be 27, you could be 87 and subsisting off the blood of the innocent.
This is a really good video man! I was wondering if you could do a video on fast paint styles, not necessarily speed painting, but ready for tabletop use rather than display.
Great video as always! You give me so much confidence and zeal to paint. I think that a good idea for the next “explained in 5 minutes” would be laying
Thank you! I absolutely agree with you, though oil paint's have also their downsides - personally I can get nice blend with oils easily, but also I find it difficult to get correct intensity of the built volume
Great production , well explained and brilliantly demonstrated! I'm still unsure as I'm an absoloute novice painting shock troops haha gonna try it though
You're great keep it up. And btw. I know it's quite not your style but what do you think about making some asoiaf painting videos cause I havent seen that many good tutorials for it
Thank you! In general, I avoid painting whole miniature from start to finish on camera and I am trying to explain more general approaches, so maybe I could use some of the minis to demonstrate some stuff, we will see!
There is not but here you go: armor is combo of black + caliba green as basecoat, and progressing like this: basecoat + nurgling green, pure nurgling gree, nurgling green + ice yellow and finally a touch of desaturated pink (any) - the ratio is usually around 1:1 but you don't have to be as precise (it's nurgle faction after all) The copper goes like this: Rhinox hide, rhinox hide +Red leather (vallejo), pure red leather, red leather + sunny skin tone, pure sunny skin tone and finally you also add a bit of ice yellow
Fantastic video friend! A good tip that i know also is you can mix flow improver with some of the glaze medium to increase the smoothness of your feathering!! Probably that can help with the Scale75 issue (hehe). Also, do you find that the Fantasy line of SC75 is more easy to blend that the regular one? I found that the skin tones of the Fantastic Line are extremely good for that. And also, i'm proud of be part of the Squad 31,1% ! B)
In 5 mins vids, loved it. Regarding a retardant for colour, I use Citadel brand for my main colour but encounter many issue when take it to blending. In order to increase painting time, I mix them with colour from Scale75. Still need to learn feathering, might as well start with yours. Thank you so much. Though, I'd like see you use technique like TMM or SENMM
Thank you for the great content! Quick question: what's the issue with Scale75 colors? I'm still approaching the hobby and considering Scale75 colors, this looks like something important to know :)
Hi ! if im about to blend a wide area (say a nighthaunt's cape for example) which blending technique should i use ? because i feel like wet blending will be kinda hard to achieve without having my paint drying out because the surface is too big... Or can i wet blend gradually untill i get the whole surface ? thank you !
You can do that, but I would be more comfortable gradually applyng layers on top of each other, making the lighter area smaller and smaller and applying thin layers over transitions to blend them.
So I was trying this technique and it kinda worked but my problem was the paint was thin I didn't really do anything to the paint just from the pot to the wet pallet then placed it on the base then used a slightly damp brush to zig zag it and It didn't work really?
Happy Bday. Liked the bit of color theory about altering colors to match very much. How old you are is everybody's guess. I mean, how old is Hagrid or professor Dumbledor?? Shave the beard and "the secret will be revealed".
hey, man do you not like scale 75 paints? I am just not sure what you were saying about them, so if you could clarify for me that would me very happy, thanks.
It's not that I don't like them, it's that they can go chalky if you glaze them too much - they have very matt finish and it shows. I have to say that vallejo is my favourite universal paint brand :)
I'm new go the channel and Didn't understand the commentary about Scale 75, you don't like them? They go chalky? Are bad for feathering? I want to try them. Thanks for your time. I love this series of videos.
Hi! Yes, since scale 75 can go chalky, it sometimes produces chalky finish if you keep on applying very thin coats of paint, so it definitely has it's uses but you need to be more careful
They are excellent paints. The best ive used for any kind of blending. I've only ever found very white inclusive paints to go chalky, thats any brand though. Glaze medium etc help

I really like your videos - they are very informative, helpful and your approach is very friendly and natural. Thanks for your hard work!

I learned more in this video than i have in a while. Thanks.
Thank you for the techniques will be practicing these 😊
You're doing really great work with these 5 minutes movies! Nice :)
Thank you!
Can’t wait to try it, thanks Zumikito 👍🏻 keep them coming.
Love it! Excellent explanation. Gonna try this on my next project. Thank you.

Great vids mate, I love your style
Really useful info and so helpful having only 5 minutes to explain it 👍
I've been using this technique for a while. Nice to know what it's actually called!
Great video man! I picked up a couple things I'll try on my next figure. Thanks!
These short videos are not only concise and entertaining, but I can get through one whilst sitting on the throne. Perfect.
Thank you! exactly my goal!
I love your brilliant tutorials. 💪🏻
Great video as always! You give me so much confidence and zeal to paint. I think that a good idea for the next “explained in 5 minutes” would be laying
I am so glad to hear that! Well, layering is kind of covered in my glazing video, layers are just thicker :)
Skvělý videa! Super kvalita! Držim pěsti ;)
Děkuji!
No bullshit. Only job. That's my man!
Love this video!, trying this technique on my CB Infinity models!
Great video! Oil paints are awesome to blend and feather.
Thank you! I absolutely agree with you, though oil paint's have also their downsides - personally I can get nice blend with oils easily, but also I find it difficult to get correct intensity of the built volume
I didn't even know that i was Feathering the all time! AHAH! Thanks! Nice video as always! =)
We all use many techniques that we don't even know have a particular name, it's pretty natural to do this 🙌
Another great video! thanks
“Pull it fast enough!” That’s what she said!

Osl is the glow effect one :) also, I am just as surprised haha
amazing work.

Is there a colour list of a paint tutorial for the paint guard model? Best I have seen 😍
There is not but here you go: armor is combo of black + caliba green as basecoat, and progressing like this: basecoat + nurgling green, pure nurgling gree, nurgling green + ice yellow and finally a touch of desaturated pink (any) - the ratio is usually around 1:1 but you don't have to be as precise (it's nurgle faction after all)
The copper goes like this: Rhinox hide, rhinox hide +Red leather (vallejo), pure red leather, red leather + sunny skin tone, pure sunny skin tone and finally you also add a bit of ice yellow

Gonna learn how to paint fire thats fire. Your pretty good man. Wise man with a big beard. Dont forget to point to the heavens !
I'm already subscribed but I'd do it again if I could. Happy Birthday dude.
You are awesome! Great video
More great tips . Happy birthday. 🍻🥳
Great video, as usual.
That’s a great explanatory video ! By the way I absolutly love your fire, how did you paint it ?
Used orange for the inner part and went to gradient of red-purple-dark blue for smoke
Great video! Maybe as a suggestion: could you expand on this with the loaded brush method?
Fantastic video friend! A good tip that i know also is you can mix flow improver with some of the glaze medium to increase the smoothness of your feathering!!

Just me?
Thanks dude! Ye, never came to my mind haha
Great video!
This was VARY helpful. Thank you. Sub.

Awesome video, what reds did you use on tariana palos? Love them
Progression goes like this: abaddon black, khorne res, mephiston red, ivory (I also mix paint inbetween)
