This video took me over 40 - 50 hours to put together when I include filming, editing and painting the miniature. If you want to support what I am doing here, consider subscribing to my channel and giving this video thumbs up. Thanks! 👊 EDIT: Guys, as always you can combine stippling with other blending methods! Many of you mentioned that it might be good to stipple basic gradient and go over it with a few glazes - YES! Definitely go and do that :)

I love your content man, keep it up

The fact you do this in under 5 minutes sets you so far ahead from many other creators. I love a detailed 25 minute guide to study, but if I'm about to do something or need a refresher this format is exactly where I go. Keep it up, do everything. Thank you!

Agree, that's why I subscribed.

I really appreciate the "in under 5 minutes" approach. You explain the topics quickly and precisely, making your videos super valuable as a reference to watch again if needed. I guess my next Space Marine will be painted with this technique for practice ;)

I was just coming here to say this. This is my second video of Zumikito's that I've watched, and I subscribed after the first (Painting volumes). Not every tutorial video has to be for absolute beginners ("This is a brush. This is paint. This is how I assemble the mini. This is how I prime" *20 minutes later* "Now, let's talk about [insert technique]". I also love the comparison shots to other techniques, so you can see how the two techniques vary and produce different results. Super useful both for planning your army, and identifying different techniques for different textures. If I had the discipline and motivation to make videos, these are what I'd aspire to, with one tiny difference. I'd paint two minis each time with the technique. One mini would be an "ideal" mini for showcasing the technique, and the other would be a "standard" mini that is identical every video. The standard mini would have to have a number of different surfaces/materials on it. The "last" video of the series would be to showcase all of the painting techniques side-by-side on the standard mini, with a final one painted with multiple different techniques based upon what looks best for a given surface across the techniques. It'd probably be really tiresome to do, painting the same mini over and over again, but what a great resource. As I said, I lack discipline and motivation, so I know I'll never get around to it. I welcome, nay encourage, anybody else who sees this idea and thinks they can pull it off to do so.

Man I don't know what I love more. The info, the accent, the hair, the beard or the humor. 10/10

I've been painting for over 10 years, the most I've learned is.. its all "simple" just takes getting used to.. and knowing it exists lol

You are single handedly making my introduction to painting miniatures seem less intimidating

I've been away from the tabletop gaming and miniature painting scene for a few years now, and back when I did paint minis I usually went for pretty safe and simple approaches like basecoat/wash/highlight. I've bought some minis over the past year and I think it's time I get back to painting and try challenging myself with new techniques like this. Love the videos.

Keep doing your 5 minute videos! You're making some very difficult topics easier to approach for many viewers. I also loved your bases idea. Simplicity is great, but making sure it's actually simple is the best. Keep up your work! I very much appreciate it.

In your case I get nothing but useful information and I think I just found a way to shade my Epic tanks! Thanks!

My results went way up thanks to this video. Faces, muscles and cloaks now all look more natural because of stippling. Very beginner friendly technique to learn about color mixtures as well. Thank you so much for all the content!

Dude… between you and Brushstrokes, my painting needs are covered. Cheers!!

I love your channel 😻 I haven't painted in years and you've helped me get right back into it! And bringing back all the memories of lessions I took in art 🎨

How do you not subscribe to this guy? I've watched so many painting tutorials and while they're great painters, this guys is, by a wide margin, a much better teacher

Never seen this channel and I am already astonished at the sheer quality and manliness of this man’s facial hair

This stippling video has everythingggg.

The amount of work and information you manage to put in your 5-10minuts vidéos is AMAZING!!! Every time it's like a rush of knowledge, and i ofter look your videos more than one time once i tryed out the techniques so i got more deep understanding. Thank you for your work!

Another great tutorial. Thank you.

Truly, I have learned a lot from your vids. I have found that your vid’s help out for people who have painted a few minis and are looking to really up their game or be more efficient while getting good results. Thank you for this video.

I've learned so much from the last 2 videos I've watched then I've learned in years

I am just getting into painting miniatures, with no artistic background, and I love your videos! Thank you for sharing your experience.

One of the best KZread channels. As always great work. Thanks for the content!

I recently returned to 40k after a many years hiatus. Your videos have been a great inspiration to getting back into painting.

Excellent video, it made me really internalize the concept. I now recommend it to all people struggling with blending.

I dont even have miniatures to paint, but your explanation skill so nice, so i cant just skip this video. Ty for your video content!

I feel so daft for not practising on bases. I had not even thought of it. Heck, I could be practicing on all these milk bottle caps that I've been collecting to stick my minis to when painting them!!! This is great because it eliminates the fear of failure I have when painting miniatures! It also gives me something to pass to the kids to paint too! Thank you.

That was a bit eye opening! Thanks sir! You've just saved me hundreds of hours.

I love your videos! They have helped my technique out tremendously the last few months. Thank you for putting out such great content!

First time I came upon a detailed rundown of this technique. Fantastic job!

Skvělé video! Díky moc za něj, jdu rozšiřovat moji menší knihu paint skillu ;)

I'm so happy I found your channel, as I'm just starting out in the hobby. I really like that you have so many videos on brush techniques, as I don't use an airbrush, not yet anyway. I'm currently going through all your videos in the background as I'm painting. Luckily I don't have to worry about time, as I don't play the game. I paint for the sake of painting, so all my minis will be display pieces. Thank you for all your hard work.

You are a painting beast brother! thank you for taking the time to teach us your passion. For the emperor!

It's fun when you find that the way you mess around with paint is a real technique lol. I shall take your theory and techniques to make my craft something resembling good work. You have my gratitude :)

I've only just found your stuff today, and I am hooked (watched about 10 videos already). These five minute videos are amazing, I subscribed and insta-followed. I love how precise and direct you are in the videos with explaining, and showing pallets and talking about hue's and what not. Also that effen gangstar line killed me haha

Opět další fantastické video. Díky moc👍.

Fantastic video, dude ❤

Very good tutorial as always :) Stippling is something I discovered by accident myself when I was still a noob and l still like to use it~ a very good technique for beginners that can upgrade a mini a lot!

Well done! Stippling is one of my favorite painting methods. I prefer it over smooth surfaces as it gives texture to the mini and makes it look more realistic and alive in my opinion. You can also overlap stippling with glazing to smoothen the stipples if required. I usually do this for smoother fabrics like cloaks. There are a lot of different ways to stipple and in some cases, you don’t even damage your brush if you use it’s side. Good job on mentioning so many methods in such a short and to the point video. I subscribed right away and I enjoyed watching this. Thanks for the content ! 👍🏼👍🏼

I’ve been a big fan of Monet’s technique. This is my favorite way to paint.

Always amazing how you condense things in under 5 minutes and also add jokes that make those tips settle in mind!

After seeing this year's Golden Demon entries, and the heavier reliance on stippling over glazing, I decided to look into the technique more. Who comes up first on my search? The Z-Man, naturally. I think I've now watched the video a few times over the years, and it's a wonderful, clear, concise overview of it. I have a free mini of the month ready to try this after I finish glazing my Kommando kill team. I appreciate what you do, man.

Very informative, thank you. This looks like a very resilient technique. I like the way you teach.

The Artis Opus XS drybrush is great for stippling, i use it ALL the time. if you combine it with the idea of mixing paints from one tone to another you get great smooth gradients. and if you use glazes or an Airbrush to smooth it out, it gets better.

amazing content! I love how you explain the "cheats" I keep thinking about and then get away with amazing quality mini paints ^^ well done and thanks ^^

Thanks for a nice video on a method that i have not tried yet but now i might do it =)

Amazing video! Keep up the work, your videos will keep me busy for the next months.

thanks for the video, very quick and informative!

Oh YEAH ! Sound so nice for me since i don’t have enough time to paint!!! Thank you ! Now i will go buy a jackhammer and rope my brush to it. I’m sure it will go well ! XD

Do a "rescue" project, i.e: taking a really poorly painted mini and then attempt to fix it and make it a show winner. Would be a great challenge for you and great for us to watch! 🎨

Ty for this mini videos and all the tips. regards from Peru! 👍🏻

Well, that was awesome.

Great video as always!

Subscribed and thumbed up. I love your presentation. So concise and focused on the critical few.

Come to think of it, i realised many oil paintings have that same effect of stippling to create texture in paintings, so actually its a professional artist’s technique thats been around for a really long time!

Thank you so much for your video !

Like the videos fella, straight to the point and effective. Big thumbs up dude!

You are my favourite subscription (ok after smarter every day) and I have been on a binge of your stuff to keep me sane while in hospital. Your positivity and humour inspire me to do better. Thanks! Keep up the fab content! As a question: you covered chipping and damage, I want to do scorch marks on my space marine drop pods: any tips for soot / burn marks?
