I love that you have no annoying intro. Straight to the point(s)! Perfect!

[Ultrlf]

You and Vince Venturella are the perfect complement for me. You explain things in high speed and thus can give alot of neat ideas to pick and choose from.
And the ones I wanna explore deeper? There is a 99.93% chance Vince has a 25 minute video about it.

The thing that helped me the most is just... Mindset. I have really shaky hands, which makes painting pretty hard at times. My paintjobs have always just been basecoat, wash, done. I thought that was all I could do - But the more you paint, and the more you just try to do different techniques like glazing, edge highlighting etc, you will get better - Guaranteed. Don't let a model you're not happy with stop you from painting any more. Keep learning and researching techniques and you WILL improve! :)

Dude you are teaching me so much so quickly! So many other videos have so much filler and longwinded intros, you keep it concise and I actually pay attention and retain the information because the whole video is non stop useful points.

Painting my first Tzeentch Daemons and Thousand Sons models right now, with your help its going way better than I thought it would!

One of the biggest and best changes I’ve made to painting models is painting volumes. It’s taken a lot of practice but it’s makes things look so much better

Anyone who says something bad about your magnificent beard is clearly insane

Loved the video, I have been out of the hobby for over 5 years and this helped me relearn things I have forgotten and even make my older models better. Thank you.

Little did you know, you're the real painting God. Seriously I've watched a lot of painters in the past but none of them comes close to conveying information this fast and this clearly.

There's also the fact that you don't go into "youtuber mode" and hype the living shit out of every new random paint or product just because it would get views which I REALLY appreciate.

Really helpful advice here. Thanks for sharing Zumikito!

8. Focus your volume, contrast, and highlights on the shoulders/head/top half of your model. It draws the eye of the viewer and is perfect for batch painting high numbers of models. 60 guardsmen with everything highlighted is redundant and unneeded as they will die very quickly. But, taking a little extra time to improve the top half will be faster and give you the most value for your time.

Keep the everything part for special/hero models, it'll make them stand out even more when adjacent too the rest of your army.

I’ve watched quite a few of your videos now and I’ve never seen a bad one. Every time, I’ve learned something. Keep up the great work!

Had my first experience with contrast first hand yesterday. I painted a guys hand all pasty white because I wanted him to look ghoulish, I then highlighted the joints in his hand with a brighter white. I was amazed with how much volume it gave it. Its a 3d object but without that highlight it looked flat and you couldn't really appreciate it but now its easy to see how his hand is flexing

[hepaintsslowly]

Not only excellent and clear, but also funny. Good stuff.

Zumikito videos have the best content to length ratio. No rambling, no nonsense, just great tips all the way through.

I'm learning well, I've just started a Seraphon (lizardmen) army.
Flat black primed it, I'm using it as a guide for some black lining for the accessories later lm, my base is a nice dark green mud to compliment the bright skin tone of the soft skin, that I'm using a light cream as the highlight colour for an orange pink tone.
The bright colours of the scales, which also is using the black prime to build up from, are using a mix of a dark tone and light tone of the same colour and the heads, shoulders and back will have the lightest points.
The accessories will be a nice cyan with heavy black lining.
Already gotten to the skin tone for many of them but it's already looking nice, and the test model was very helpful on how far to push cetain parts compared to others.

[mischkagusta]

Minor addition: Dark Greys are also a neat base color. It provides similar advantages like black does (no shining throu on spots that you have forgotten to paint) but the shadows end up less dark and thus provide a bit less contrasts which might be desirable

[LouieLovesMinis]

Maan you've really upped your content game. From really snappy editing to smooth transitions. You're good man!

[Hateweek]

Thank you so much for this! Was a great help Zumi! Cheers and God bless

[randomdudette]

My god, how nice it is to watch a video without an annoying animated intro followed by a prolonged "dialogue" with the audience about what you are going to do. THANK YOU, THIS IS AMAZING!!!
