Hi guys at squidmar! I was the guy with white t-shirt who encountered you at the park in the round swinging "bench". I didn't want to bother you guys for to long since you were busy in a meeting, thanks for being so nice, you are as awesome IRL as you are on camera. I didnt get the chance to say so, but your videos was what made me get in to painting miniatures and it has been a therapy for me and helped me immensely with my mental health since my father passed away in cancer last year. Keep it up, and thanks!

I love these longer form videos, it's a nice to get a break from the fast paced shorter stuff every once in a while, and I know I'm gonna come back to this video for tips over and over and over

I know they are probably very taxing to film and edit, but these long format painting guides are my favourite type of painting video and really help me improve and I love to hear/watch them while I'm painting my own minis.

Followed the full tutorial and won a Golden Demon directly after! Thanks Squidmar! These long-form painting videos are fantastic!

I'm sure I'm not alone when I say the highlighting part is what breaks my brain when I try to paint skin. THANK YOU for being so thorough in your steps, it really does help the visualization. Cheers dudes!

Not at all I just straight up wash the skin and call it decent cus I'm still a beginner

I find the paint style on this fascinating - it looks like a 70's/80's fantasy painting projected onto a 3d object. It hurts my brain but in a really cool way. It's a 3d object that looks like a 2d painting which has been painted to look 3d - I like it!

Emil is absolutely awesome! I have been following the channel for a year now and I am always learning and gaining courage to keep trying new techniques. Thank you for another wonderful episode!

This video relaxes me as much as when I'm painting myself. Love watching the slow creation process from zero to perfectly painted mini.

First I give you likes and then I watch the video. Your videos are like meditation.

Identifying shapes and hiw to highlight them plus how to put your colors together on a mini and which areas to add focus to. These are the videos i love. Great job! 😊

Thanks for this! I recently got my first model, and I see the painting process is almost the same as painting on a canvas.Picked up some new tricks too. It's also very relaxing to watch you paint I have to say.

You prove that Art nerds can be cool ass dudes at the same time. please keep up the excellent work. you both are a huge inspiration to me and my work and you both deserve all of your success and more. THANK YOU!

Your videos are such high quality but you make all the techniques feel very approachable. Love it!

Gorgeous, just gorgeous. Beautiful mini, and the paint job...👌

Simply astonoshing.... I'm definitely saving this video to use for my future projects. Thanks so much for making so awesome and entertaining!

”With as little effort as possible”, well now you have my attention!

I appreciated both the format and the content--there's a lot of good information here.

Great video and the walk through each part was outstanding, I rewinded many parts so I could see and understand visually what you was saying and doing, thank you and hopefully you will do more videos like this.

Amazing, keep these coming plx! Way better than the short ‘abc’ movies. This really helps showing your entire process 😃

This was so helpful, especially the skin part as I still really struggle with that. Thank you for this!

Squidmare, have you all ever considered a masterclass boxset? Model, Paints, Brushes, etc. Everything used in one convenient go. I know I would jump on something like that. Just thinking out loud. I love these long form Masterclasses. Im gettimg this miniature, and im gonna wing it with the paint selection I have. Wetblending I could use more work with, and the way we talk about light dispersion, textures and shapes here visually help me more then most channels. While my outcome may not look the same as shown, I find myself painting with purpose and matching what my eye tells me is right, not just what I see on box, or screen. Love the channel after all these years. Checking in from nowhere Pa.

Really nice class, been looking for a more showing guide like this thanks Emil!

Great video! Really love these longer tutorials! Keep’m coming :D

Thanks for the great video! I was looking for more references on how to paint skin and muscles, and this is perfect!

thank you so much for all of these great, in-depth videos, they have helped me to get better at painting.

Excellent stuff. Please keep these coming

I really love these Masterclass videos! Keep them coming!

Would love to see more of those, great vid!

Great video! One thing which surprised me was the lack of washes used. I tend to use less these days though myself and more like ink washes to help blend everything together nicely and create extra contrast at the same time

He looks amazing 😍 fantastic tips too I couldn't stop watching from beginning to end 😁

Good sir, you are absolutely spoiling us with this amazing vid!

i loved this type of video. teaching by making examples .

Thank you for making this informative video Squidmar!

I'm using the advice you stated in this video about the muscle areas I was always thinking they were separated like in the abs and the arms. I hope the big model I'm doing is going to look better than what I've done before but, I've only been painting for 3 years

Amazing tutorial! 👏 really was a master class!

Thanks for being so generous!

Going to attempt some tyranids over the next few weeks, hopefully the tips you’ve gave can help me 👌🏻

awesome video Squidmar! This really inspired me to continue some unfinished projects! 😀

Okay. That's a masterpiece! Congratulations. Plus really helped my NMM

Thanks for showing the mistakes. I would enjoy more of that in tutorials

This video is fantastic. It shows the choices you make to paint in this style. This is dramatically better than many of your recent videos. Keep up the good work, and I hope to see more like this on your channel.

I have a sick Warhammer 40K Chaos Marine set that I lost inspiration in painting, just cause the ones I did paint, I felt pretty bad about. I'm no artists at all, but watching this makes me wanna finish painting them buuuut I also really don't wanna mess up the cool looking figures.

Exactly the content that I wish to have. Thank you.

Some really useful tips here, thanks.

53 minutes of content, yes please!!

Amazing video Emil! Looking forward to the next masterclass being about female character painting 🤗

Looks great! Great content as always.

Great stuff friend 👏 👍

thanks for the upload. props to the editors

Love the video! More like this please!

Would love to see more air brush tutorial videos

The final Grand Reveal of this figure reminds me very strongly of most Frank Frazetta paintings. 😳😎🤘❤

When you were painting the knee the first picture looks better then when you redone the painting. It's shows that muscles of a body builder body in real lifestyle.

I miss you teaching! Please do more educational videos if you can!

I stopped watching your videos when I felt they got too click baity, but an hour long video where you go into tiny details sucked me back in. Really enjoy the long format, little tips like the highlighting around the abs really made some of the tips for painting skin click. Excited to try it out some of the skin techniques on my maggotkin.

I picked up kill team a few years ago in that time ive got a few teams together, loved painting, really wanted to enjoy playing, but as youve covered the time in between as a casual player makes it impossible and sometimes anxiety inducing to have to re-read and learn the rules again. Now i know, some of you will say, kill team...? Really isnt that difficult.., and you're probably right, for the most part its fairly stripped back, but as someone who really struggles to retain information, rules, reading in general it just removes a hell of alot of the fun, its a shame but im most likely to just continue enjoying to paint and not play anymore, which is a big shame

5:20 “it is not pretty yet, far from it!” WTH looks better than I ever would do while trying a full attempt lol

AWESOME!

That looks amazing Emil. So cool. Id love to get this mini to gove it a go. STL perhaps?

Ooh been a minute since one of these! The first one got me the confidence to buy and paint my first large scale piece!

Your painting style makes me think of the old Heavy Metal(Metal Hurlant) magazine covers.

The level of skill I want to achieve one day. Thats insane. Keeping your hand steady like that it get better over time or was it something you naturally had? Cause when I try to do very small details like eyes my hands start shaking even with proper placement and points of contacts and bracing toward anchor points.

I have painted paintings, murals, photoshop art and what not for 20+ years now, just started and found miniatures. Didn’t know anyone who played Warhammer or DND growing up. I would see them when I would go to the art store but never thought of doing it. In the last five days, I have improved from noob to pro using your techniques, because I use them for regular painting, what makes a difference is the 3D medium that goes all the way around vs a 2D canvas it’s a little intimidating at first. I wish I could show you the improvement I made in just a few days, going to $&@! to nice, that’s something I can be proud of. I have been painting 28mm DND miniatures I printed out on my resin printer. I am thinking of getting one of the big ones you have been painting.

I'll just say WOUAH!... (& Thank You! 🤩👍👏)

One of the best tutorials on YT for mini painting. I'm a beginner and much more interested in large scale stuff. The blending looks scary :D. Question - I noticed you had small specks of primer coming off from handling the model (around the shield and weapon). Do you re-prime these areas, or paint over them? The same happens to be but so far I've just painted over them, unsure of the issues that might come from that.

Amazing

Artwork!

Thank You!

2:23 FOMU? Fear of messing up. 😅

whatS the differance between using a black primeer vs white?

How do you know what pattern too use on Surfaces for highlights? is it random?

JUST WOW.

Yes!

Where do you get your designs to print?

Can we get this mini in 30mm scale? It's one of the better mini's/ poses I've seen in a while

Where can I get models like this?

Did you clear varnish the model.

Ah, Wet Blending with Acrylics, a.ka.a. "I wish miniature companies sold oil colors so that I would have learned to use oil to begin with"

What track is playing at 11:05?

The way you thin your paints and mix them looks so easy, but it’s so hard for me in practtice. It looks like you’re not adding water as much as de-clumping it and adding a tad of another color where it’s at its thinnest. Am I right?

Immediately pressed like after hearing song from Conan animated series ^^

Maybe you have talked about this in a previous video I haven't seen... but how do you choose your colors? Alot of these I would never have thought to use for the things you are painting. (Ie no gray/silver on metal 🤯)

Emil copies more experienced painters! The palette Emil is trying to copy is a classical palette of 11 pigments. Roman Greco style.

cans someone tell me why my white priming colour is like snow on the mini? it literally looks like the fake snow u can buy for ur windows on christmas. just started painting and just touching the mini makes the colour flake off like dust. black prime spray colour is perfect and coats the mini as it should in one even coat.

Painting is a fluid process. Oy! You got a license for that pun?

Brush wise, nothing better than Raphael 8404. Followed by Windsor series 7 or even early Vallejo sables with the brown handle. Had nothing but problems from the 3 DiVinci brushes I have.

I need to know what your white teaching aid was 😂. Great video. youtube är en konstskola I Amerika för det kostade tusentals tack so mycket Your videos make me miss sweden half my family still lives there öland haven't been back since I was 13 over 20 years ago.

5:13 "it is not pretty yet, far from it" me going: "wtf?! it gets better??"

6:44 i think the term you are looking for is a fat glaze :P

Well done! To not leave u with useless comment: i think hilight on leather above bone takes too much attention seems confusing, a bit like the wood from shield on back but nice work over all nice vid alot inspiring much better then those short vids leaving you with " a stroke" 🔥 lava could be more contrasti glowi as u would say yeah nice colors overall very few "mistakes" sword a bit confusi in the end a bit too much same style in some parts i mean like first half looks perfect second is bit too prrfect ;)

hitting you with the double comment because man, in those last 10 minutes it really came together. lol

4:26 I feel called out lol

Question: How long do you have to wait for a layer to dry before you add an additional layer? I’m new to painting minis, and don’t really know the process that well. Yet.

Well, not the answer you want, but that kinda differs per paint type and brand. In some cases it doesn't really matter that it is wet, then it mixes a bit, can be pretty natural.
