EASY Blends In Seconds! | Feathering explained in 5 minutes

Feathering is a miniature painting technique that serves as a great foundation for additional blending. If you want to achieve some degree of smoothness on your warhammer miniatures while not wasting too much time, this tutorial is for you!

I feel like everyone is using feathering to some extent, even if they are not aware of it. You can feather a basecoat, layer and even a glaze - it's always the same thing. You just apply the layer on a miniature and spread it by pulling it. The number one factor is the consistency of the paint and the second most important factor are good brushes. As I mention in my tutorial, you can also use some flow improver so the paint stays wet and usable for longer. Let me know in the comments if you have any questions!

The painted plague marine is from Warhammer 40k Dark Imperium box set - the starter before Indomitus

Videos like these take me 40+ hours to put together when I include scripting, recording, editing and painting the miniatures. If you appreciate the vids, consider supporting this effort however you find fit!
BTW, It's my Birthday today! How old do you think I am? 🤔

I love the short style of these tutorials. Many other painting channels just drag on and on, but Zumikito's videos are densely packed with useful tips and get straight to the point.

As someone who loves painting minis but doesn't feel like they understand art concepts, this video was super helpful especially the last part that went over hue and saturation. Thanks!

Thank you for the easy to understand tutorial. including the saturation and hue was particularly genius as this was one of the pieces I was missing. Bravo
