As always, 1080p conversion takes a few minutes!
Right now it's only 360p, but it shouldn't take more than half an hour to be up in full HD ;)

Thank you all for your support, the likes and your comments!

I'm so impressed with this series. Showing Ben's technique on painting is amazing. And it's even better getting his insight by his own explanation or by the other person's input or questions to him is really helpful.

I am so very happy every time I get the little notification that you've added a video. It's always well done and fun to watch. Thank you so much and ISLHY!

This has to be one of your best series of tutorials so far! I don't know which I prefer, this or Randalf.

[DerWarHammerTyp]

I really like your tooltips on the bottom, luckily you decided to keep them :)

Every time a delight to see you paint :)

Keep up to good work.

Love your videos, no matter what you do, this things are amazing and i am sure you will keep doing them one way or another! Thanks for all this :)

Really learned a lot. The skill and conversation about the how & why will be totally usefull. I think it will take my moderate skills to another level. Besides, I' m a great fan of the Vikings series, apart from the totally historical incorrectness of about everything show ( not the ships or shields, they're fine) like clothing, armour, historical timeline of events etc.. I like Lagertha.

I wonder if I could start with raw & burnt sienna raw umber with white for skin tones because I have tube paints.

Can you explain how a wash that you buy is any different than an opaque paint that you've watered down?

[julianpsaila]

great work, may I ask, I am not sure if you mentioned this but did you paint the eyebrows?

[anablic]

do you guys always zenithal prime with black then white from the top?

[ianpotts]

How do you keep your paints wet with all the lights I'm finding some of my paints are drying under my magnifier lamp

What makes you think that hair product boxes are photoshopped? I am a photographer and learned to put those highlights in when taking the photos. so I think it does happen but it's not a rule that every box has been photoshopped. Great series though. Thanks for sharing...

[michaelknight]

Do you use any paint mediums or retarders in your paint or wash or is it streight water? Also how do you get such a perfect point after mixing paints for several seconds? I never see you do it with your mouth so the brush seems to do it, itself. Love your viseos and am a proud patron on patrreon.com

Ben is a amazing painter, and I love to see his work. But who ever the other guy is, you need to stop talking so we can listen to Ben. You are not needed voice guy who won’t shut up.
