Secrets of Painting AMAZING FACES | Painting Faces for Warhammer

Painting faces for warhammer or any other miniature wargame can be quite difficult if you don't know where to start. With this tutorial, you will learn how to paint faces in few easy steps by mostly layering. Now, if you are painting space marines, you can just paint them with helmets, but still, some warhammer factions don't have this option, so this video will definitely help you with that!

If you are playing Marvel Crisis Protocol, or any human race in Warhammer Age Of Sigmar, you will certainly paint faces. To make painting faces easy for you, either go for base - wash - layer technique, or use layering/glazing just like me here in this video. You will even learn how to paint the eyes!
Let me know if you want to learn how to paint faces of other fantasy races/factions so I can make a video about it!

"You really need to focus" he said, as the camera autofocus goes absolutely bananas 🤣

This video was SO informative! I’ve read a lot of articles on “how to paint faces, ” but actually SEEING the small, careful steps make a world of difference in my understanding. Thank you for filming this!

That is a glorious beard mustache combo, brother. I too wish to have a beard and mustache that great.

[alexhan]

I did it!! I painted eyes quite well for the first time!!! Thanks man!!

[deathwing_terminator]

I have over 300 guardsmen. I refuse to paint eyes for all of them :)

[StratosFear]

I just got into warhammer minis and I gotta say,
Love the video
Love the beard
Love the Guardsmans expression, 1000% accurate.
Thank you for the tips, my minis look sick.👍

Thanks so much, there was a lot of useful information here! I really liked seeing dark colors used as a base for the first miniature since my skin tone is darker and I got a lot of good information on how to kind of match that.

Just throwing a thank you here. This and your other videos are helping things click and I am pushing my skills with current projects.

I frequently come back to check my understanding and see if I pick up anything new. Generally, I do :)

Please keep it up. Several hundred unpainted Orks are relying on you...

Idk man, the heads at 0:19 look the most realistic! Great video though, glad to see another post!

Great video. I've painted minis for years, but the tip you gave to add yellow instead of white to lighten colors was a revelation. Thank you!

[petrinafilip]

Realised my biggest issue with painting faces: lack of good lighting in the room. Cant layer and highlight with different skin tones if you cant see the details on the face.

You are an amazing painter, and I thank you for sharing your knowledge. You also have an amazing beard, and that is something I will always admire.

[manuelponce]

Really awesome.!!! Great Techniques, good to wacht and fun at the same time!!! Thx for share these methods. Layering and glazing part of the secrets for a good face paint finish.

It's sorta insane how many paint techs I already "know" from a decade of using Photoshop as a faux-physical medium (three layers max for transparency and blending).
I never tried this tech but the whole time watching you I sort of already knew where you were going.
It's like I unknowingly was preparing myself for the future!

[hobbyspotnz]

The ptsd part has me ded when you time stamped it aswell hahaha Ive been using your tips for the eyes has been turning out good

[rubinhomoto]

I will try your method for painting eyes! Thank you!

Do you know sir you're amazing? Great guide!

The 5minutes format is excellent. Period! There are other painters out there who do excellent long classes like Dana but your "in 5 minutes" series is GREAT. Very condensed and easy to follow while working on my miniatures. Is there already a playlist for your 5 minutes videos?
