Great video, I appreciate seeing how you made the mistakes and how you fixed them. I am an expert on making mistakes, and seeing how to fix them is helpful.
Trevor, another great video! He He I think all of us has tried to rush a task and generally that is a recipe for disaster! So I feel your pain. I appreciate your instructional videos! He He, this one brings to mind me and my son, who's now in his 40's, when he was growing up, I always told him if it's worth doing, it's worth doing right! (he can quote a few of those tidbits even now) Which usually means taking enough time to get that done, and if you rush it, generally you end up doing it again. I appreciate your time constraints between these videos and your making a living! But the time thing is a lesson in itself!
I couldn't agree more! And I should know better than to try and rush through things too. In the end, I would've spent less time painting, editing, and the video would've been about half as long had I slowed myself down and done it correctly to begin with. The ironic thing is, I was already short on time when I started creating this video, lol! So, yes, taking the extra time in order to do it correctly the first time is definitely a good lesson by itself (and I apparently needed to remind myself of that lesson :).
i'm trying to maintain understanding of concepts across demos/lessons: IN THIS DEMO the cast shadow is the same base paint color so that each is painted with just one color (no paint change = simplicity)? BUT (without that simplification) since the background is white the shadow would be a lower color value of white-towards black. (other than any portion tinted by reflected light). Yes? if the background was that base green the shadow would be a lower value of that green. Yes?
Correct, and I apologize for the late reply. All of the videos in this series are primarily aimed at the beginner. They are absolutely designed to keep things simple. And yes, for a more realistic artwork the shadows would be shaded differently depending on the object color, light source, background color and reflected light. So, although these videos were designed for simplicity, one can still use the same approach to render a far more realistic version of the same subject matter once the basic understanding of those parameters is understood. Your thought process is exactly what I hoped would happen with some who chose to watch this content!
Hey Mate, How many times does a repair become a repair and another repair and then you start again? Done it so many times I should learn but we always think we can do an easy,quick repair and it bites you in the ass. Guy
Hey Guy! It's been a very long time since I've had to completely start over on anything. It happened more than I'd like to admit around 20 years ago when I was doing a lot of custom work under tight deadlines. I tried to cut corners or work too fast several times in order to make a deadline back then and it normally bit me too. It's kind of funny looking back because most of the time I already knew what I was going to try was likely not going to work, but I wound up trying it anyway. The result was more hours of work late at night and less sleep to fix my mistake and still make the deadline. At some point I decided it wasn't worth it. I no longer work under tight deadlines and take the time I need in order to do things correctly the first time. Just about any mistake can be fixed with a good plan of attack. About the only thing I can think of right now that would require me to start over is a delamination issue.
Hi Trevor, Bless you for taking time from your busy day to day work schedule to teach...thanks!!!
Hey Rich! I'm happy to do it. I enjoy teaching others.
Great video, I appreciate seeing how you made the mistakes and how you fixed them. I am an expert on making mistakes, and seeing how to fix them is helpful.
I appreciate the kind words! I'm pretty sure I fall into the "expert" category when it comes to making mistakes too, lol.
Great vid and how to fix
Thank you!
Danke, super erklärt und eine sehr schöne Farbe mit FX Effekt Potenzial . Kommt eben auf die Anwendung an . 👍👍👍🍀
Danke schön!

If you don't make mistakes you don't learn, people seem to have forgotten about that!
Absolutely! I should know better than to try and rush things having done this for as long as I have though.
This made me laugh, cuz I get caught up spraying to heavy also trying to rush
Well, at least I'm not the only one, lol. Thank you, my friend!
