Using the techniques on a miniature can be found Here.

I've also included some safety information about the practice.

Today is the basic principles and techniques behind two brush blending.

Find that video Here.

Practice these techniques over the weekend.

Monday will see the release of the other two videos...

A while ago, we asked Hand Cannon readers what they would like to see for content.
One of those replies was for me to show how I paint a model from start to finish. So, Here it is.

Enjoy!

Today sees the release of a new tutorial by me; Glazed Over: Washes and Glazing.

I paint a miniature in almost it's entirety with nothing but washes and glazes. I define the difference between a...

I released an article on Hand Cannon today, covering a method of speed painting.
I use an underpainting method that only requires a coloured glaze over top.

Using this method, I've painted 10,...

This is a colour that a lot of painters struggle with, both novice, and experienced.

Struggle no more!
I am here to help with the latest tutorial in my Basics series; Back in Black - Painting...

A very fine point on my brush, and some flow release solution...and lots of practice. ;)
She was awarded a silver in the single category. I got some good critique from the judges as well. I changed...

Yeah I've been trying to fix that...now I'm not going to see anything but baby crap stuck to her forehead.
Thanks. :p

Here's my other entry for Privateer Press' Lock n' Load Gamefest.

I went with a high contrast, highly complimentary colour scheme, which is very non-Cryxian. I opted to showcase my ability to...

Yeah, it's a piece of stray static grass....or a cat hair...damn cats....

I switched my golds from P3 to GW on this model, and spent a lot more time getting them smooth. In addition, I did stuff I usually don't do on many of my models; freehand. It's time-consuming, but I...

I've seen bakers and cooks do it, and most times, they're sweating a lot.
I've watched their make-up run down their face, and get in their eyes, and still the next day, they come in with the...

Here.

For hookers, just increase the ratio of blush, and eyeshadow colour to your flesh mix, and they'll look like good and proper 19th century prostitutes. ;)

Really red cheeks, and gaudy blue...

This was supposed to release yesterday, but real life, and my competition entires interfered. Luckily, I had enough time to move it to today, and get it finished!

Not a request, but methods that I...

I'd get a couple synthetic hair brushes for base coating, and washing. The reason being that the tooth that primer provides beats the hell out of your natural hair brushes.

I would also add W&N...

I think I suffered bad side effects from potentially toxic paints.
Most of the paint available now seems pretty safe.
Still, since I use a lot of flow release, I don't lick my brushes any longer.

I'm just a sarcastic bastard in case you didn't notice. :D

The critique was certainly valid, and the feedback worthwhile. That's why I post these things in the first place. But, this one was...

My wife said the same thing, and I brushed her off too. :D

The cloak is what was painted two years ago, along with the first few coats of paint on her skin, and hair. If it was painted now, I would have probably done a much better job. :D

I have a bachelor's degree in design, and I majored in illustration. :D
So, I don't think I need a colour wheel, since 5 years of formal art education burned the theories into my brain.

I was...

One that sat half finished on my work bench for two years.
To take a break from competition pieces, I decided to get her done.
She turned out quite nice, considering some areas were done so long...

I used to be a compulsive brush-licker.

That is, until I started to suffer from serious digestive and nervous system damage. I spent many years on special diets, and taking all sorts of pills as...

Look a couple posts down, dude! :flute:

Hey folks!

My first tutorial in a few weeks...finally!
I've been hard at work, painting my Lock n Load entires, and I don't want to spoil anything for the show, so my tutorials might not be...
