    May I suggest a video on controlling a characters age. I find with a lot of sculpts my guys always look between 30-45.
    Sometimes I want a character to look older or younger than I have represented with my painting. What kind of tricks can I employ to do so other than darkening eyes/cheeks for example?
    Thanks King Tro'.

    • @andrewamann2821
      @andrewamann2821 2 года назад +7

      Try going harsher or softer on your contrast between shadows and highlights, more contrast for older, less for younger? It should make the skin look looser or tighter, respectively.

    This is what I love about Trovarion. I have been painting since the 90's, but this guy makes me understand WHY we paint how we do. I ahve leant more about painting and color theory wahthing his videos than I have done in 25 year before! Check out his video on why we push contrast the way we do on minis.

    This is great. I really liked the analysis of the actual gem - something I've not seen before. It makes painting it more obvious when you know what you're trying to replicate. I wonder if that's a series of short videos you could look to do. Essentially replicate something real in paint - I've often seen the advice to use real world reference, but breaking that down into how that would be done and extracting the core information from the real life item would be good.

    You are both a masterful teacher and artist. Always in awe of your output. This seems like the perfect format. Very excited to see what you come up with next.
    My suggestion: how to paint ultra-realistic heavily-rusted iron (ie: how to paint irreparably damaged, pitted, flaking, rotting iron covered by bright orange rust). I'm planning on doing this with my Ironjawz, so a 3 minute video on it from you would be a dream come true.
    Keep inspiring brother!

    Suggestion: Can you demonstrate how to decide on how much highlight vs shadow to apply on surfaces to get it to read as the midtone color? Right now I'm painting a bunch of large flat and curved panels and struggling to get it to read right... Or how I would like it to be.

    The green gems looked particularly believable, especially considering they were placed next to a green glow! Did you avoid pure white on all but the reflection on the gem?

    • @trovarion
      @trovarion  2 года назад +1

      thanks a lot for your support!
      yes, I don't use any white for the other parts - you can compare it to where I show the red glass bead, it turns orange in the brightest parts, but never goes white really. That way the white reflection on top stands out more too.

    • @trovarion
      @trovarion  Месяц назад

      Starting from black and then mixing in more and more color - number of layers depending on how smooth you want it. Of course there is different approaches, for some colors you can get away with just thinning down the midtone and going straight over black, etc. etc.
