  • Here we go. Do you struggle with painting faces? Here is a very easy approach for you. No artistic skills are needed. Acrylic paints for dummies, we can say. I think I made a nice simple video that answers a lot of common questions that other videos don't.
    Common questions:
    -What colors to use?
    -How to prepare the paint?
    -How and why to use a wet palette?
    -How thin should the paint be?
    -How to apply paint?
    -How to do shadows, midtones, and highlights?
    All those and more will get an answer here. And you will be able to do a decent face in a very short time. Dedicated to my friend Christian!

    WHAT FIGURES are these?

      Those are miniart, and some unknown resin heads...

    Hi may i ask what is PDR thinner that in this video you used ? Thank you so much

    • @dioramadevil
      @dioramadevil  5 месяцев назад

      It is not thinner. It is paint drying rettarder. A kind of gel liquid.

    Very nice, detailed and precise explanation. Faces are undoubtedly the most difficult parts to paint in a mini. Your video does an excellent job explaining it using acrylic colors (whom are the colors I prefer!). Thank you!

    would these same techniques work with 1/16 scale figures?

    • @dioramadevil
      @dioramadevil  6 месяцев назад

      Hmmm. Roughly yes. But if you want a good result, you should roughly dubble the ammount of shades and passes... It is bigger so evrything will be visible...

    How do you attach the heads to the bamboo stick? Thank you

    • @dioramadevil
      @dioramadevil  Год назад

      Hey there. The "bamboo stick" is actualy a toothpick. Pick the round ones. Drill a 0.6 mm hole in the neck (few mm will do the job), then cut of the verry tip of the toothpick in order to meet the hole in the neck (usualy the tip is to small) and them push it in. Only friction. But you have to "nail" the amount of toothpick to cut off exactly. After some practice you will have no problems at all.

    I have a question : you put 3 base color layer to start...what Time IS necessary to wait between those base layers ?

    • @dioramadevil
      @dioramadevil  Год назад +1

      Hi... First of all thank you, big time. Second, you should wait for the layer to dry. If you are doind 3 or 4 heads at once, the first will be surely dry when you finish the last one. If you are doing just one, take a hair dryer and give it a blow. We are talking minutes anyway. IF you really like my "menthorship" I would invite you to my Patreon page. The guys that joined said that thei are getting a 5 star treatment... :D

    • @dioramadevil
      @dioramadevil  Год назад

      Ofcourse you can. But.... The better the face is sculpted than easyer is to paint it. And you need good faces if you want to learn, trust me (me too). Go for Dragom, Miniart, modern Tamiya. Usualy those resin heads are so much better and easyer to paint.
