Would have liked to see more side-by-side picture examples comparing the bad way vs the right way. Some of these tips i had to watch again before i understood what you meant.

This was the Squarry Squarespace episode we all have been waiting for. Really exciting. The painting PSA was a bit long though, could have done without that and just gotten to the action. ❤ Squarry.

Having recently got back into painting miniatures after a twenty something year hiatus, I can’t thank squidmar enough for videos like this. Great advice delivered with enthusiasm and brilliant pacing. Great stuff (just wish my hands were less shakey and miniatures cost less but can’t have everything)

Great video, I laughed a lot when I saw the concept of connecting the muscles and other concepts that I explain in my tutorials to students, you failed to explain why I convey that concept so abstract. For a next video :D Keep creating these great videos

Your in video ad for squarespace is the only one I don't skip

What helped me when starting with lighting is actually just casting a lamp or light over my miniature after priming with a dark color. And then i just memorize as best as i can, or take a picture to know where the light actually lands. And then i do zenithal priming afterwards before actually painting.

Huzzah, you'all are so kind for helping out the hobbyists. Thank you thank you.

Great video. Love how you smile through the whole video!

Oh! this video actually made me aware of a few mistakes I’ve been doing in my own painting that I didn’t even realize I was making, it should help quite a bit now that I’m aware! Many many thanks!

This is such a great video, I have my first miniatures on deck after I’m done with my semester. As someone just diving into this hobby, I greatly appreciate these videos. Keep up the fantastic work fellas!

I think yours is the only channel where I like the video when I see the ad, love how you manage to still keep it creative after a gazilillion squarespace promos

Really good video especially about how to paint muscles. Love your painting tutorials.

Recently have gotten into miniature painting through first time DM'ing as I wanted a few pieces that my players could actually see as "theater of the mind" isn't applicable to all. I have found an immense satisfaction and joy that this hobby brings and I'm glad I got to stumble across your page, super informative!

Omg loved the ad-read in this!

Recently started miniature painting and quite often find my highlighted areas seem a bit dry/chalky. Wondering if not moistening my brush enough is contributing to that? I initially thought that thinning paints with plenty of water means I wouldn’t need to moisten the brush. Love your videos, super helpful for a noob!

Might be that your paint is dry or not pigmented enough, its so tough to know when we don't see you paint

Came for the painting tips, stayed for the Squarry Plotter micro film.

The best solution for me to fix how I highlight has been Zenithal Priming. You can actually see where "light" would hit a mini and use that as a guide.

5:43 Emil is just rubbing himself...

This reminds me why I want to work up to a particular project. I got the 2-Up New York class Battleship from the Dropfleet Commander game. I want to paint a terminator line down the ship lengthwise. Half the ship in light, half the ship in darkness. Get that terminator line showing just how liquid, flowing, it can be. Got a lot of practise before I'm there. Got some projects to gain back the skills though.

I know you're a warkammer guy but would you be willing to paint some wizkids d&d minis in a video? I really enjoy your videos and it would be nice to see what someone like you could do with wiz kids minis. I think the Warhammer miniatures are a bit better quality but im not sure. Either way, God bless you and your family. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Your first piece of advice is TWO THIN COATS? I think we got that covered mate lol

How would you go about solving the cape issue? Highlighting all the segments which look at the light the same?

yeah... picking easy minis for learning... and then there´s me picking a bust and trying to paint it like good old Kirill Kanaev... anyway 3 years into it, and i´m reaching the finish line. Looking good, learned much :D would do it again.

Hey Squidmar, I really like your channel and all your videos. I am starting into warhammer and you've been a great resource. One thing I've noticed is that you regularly spraypaint indoors without any masks on. I'm assuming either your room is well ventilated or some other reason it's safe? Can you elaborate? Thanks!

Thanks for the tipps. I really enjoy your videos . May I ask you something? I just wanna Start nmm. But all of my simple miniatures have also a part of chainmail. Does it make sense to paint the chainmail also in NMM or better in TMM. Can t find good adivices! :)

Hello fellow Squidmarians, I have been watchin a lot of Emils videos lately and it has inspired me to think about starting painting myself. I am not planning at all to play with these minis, I just want to paint ones I find interesting and maybe make cool bases or dioramas. Is there any factions I should stay away from that are considered more advanced than others? So far the ones I like the look of the most are: Stormcast Eternals (i think they were called), the undead army, Sylvaneth and from 40k: Necrons and Custodes. Here in Norway it seems difficult to find anything other than games workshop minis as I dont have a 3d printer and ordering from abroad costs a fortune. I was also wondering if anyone could tell me very specifically what tools I would neeed? So far from what Ive seen I should get: a decent brush, a big brush for drybrushing, an assortment of paints, glue, a sharp knife, can of black and/or white paint? I dont have a lot of money to spend so I was also wondering if its better to buy big boxes with many smaller figures for more practice to begin with, or buy less but more interesting figures that I am more inspired by?

Oh yeah. I will be making every one of these mistakes. But that's how I learn! (that's what I keep telling myself at least)

Ok you are probably one of the most skilled miniature painter I have seen on youtube but you are allso the reason I dont touch my miniature with paint cause I am to scared

Such good stuff here, took NMM monochrome challenge on 4 minis with some of the easiest of colors, Yellow, Pink, Teal and Purple - not very easy as it turns out - with myriad liminal surfaces stacked upon stacks, well that took ages to get to look like anything so yeah could have taken something easier and have less masochism fun at it? I think I lost my point somewhere in that sentence. Anyhow currently practicing the chop methods to get some real fast wins on some speed paint designed boardgame minis but that discourages you to higlight as the speedpaint kinda does it already, its more like selectively shadowing to not make everything so flat

im not a good painter at all im just getting into it but i can say when doing highlights to point for the first point his making starting with a darker tone, then adding a lighter source into it blending it and slowly doing that up until you get to white or near white is how you make a good blend so deep blue then add touch of white adding grading effect of blue then add more as it goes to the lighter source then adding more and more or what ever colour you are blending it with
