Every Trick for Better Slap Chop in 2023

This weeks video is a slap chop ROUND UP. Where I take the best tips, tricks and tools I've discovered over the past year and put them into one video!

Several channels have talked about a texture palette before me, but I am unsure where the original idea came from. Such channels include: Artist Opus, MS Paints, and Miniature Hobbyist.

Wonderful results. And I'm really glad you had that bit about some of the "basics" like painting down in one stroke towards to darker parts. It's that kind of small detail that really makes a difference for us beginners.

I love how this is basically a summary of your greatest hits/tips. Every YouTube painter should do this every year or so.

Lylaaa! Your video about a drybrushing tray gave me an idea. I took bits of sprue and glued them to the inside of the lid of my wet pallet. Then, I primed the pallet in a couple of coats to protect it against moisture. Now whenever I paint, I can use the inside of the lid of my pallet to wipe of excess paint. There is a bit of condensation, but it generally dries after having the pallet open for a few minutes.

Great work refreshing us on things like not using paper towels! So key!!

[Nyc_figure_fanatic]

I've watched like every speed paint video on YouTube. This might be the best one. Thank you so much.

This is great, I’d never seen the texture tray tip before. I’ve always ended up with dusty dry brushing from using a paper towel. Thank you.

[MTGfiro]

your video music is always nice lol. everytime im vibing

[jaysonstewart]

Great video. I would also add, one can add a drybrushed highlight a mini after painting on their slap chop layer if they want to push their paint job a bit more. Thanks for the content!

As someone who wants to start speedpainting this video was really helpful in how to apply these paints.

[jamieburton]

Woah, the end results are awesome!! Also thank you for the tip on dragging the brush is a single direction, I’ve been having all sorts of annoyances with inconsistent coats and this explains why! Thanks again.

I haven't painted in a while. Thanks for the inspiration to get me back in!

[jrkasaurus]

That popper toy for paint tray is brilliant I grabbed one today and it’s perfect!

[VictorEnriqueEspinozaLanyi]

I love purple too! Thanks for the video!

[gmpbuilder]

This video inspires me to try this technique. Previously I thought it gimmicky and lazy, but the way you do it, given the right subject, makes it seem more painterly, and the results are good enough for display. Thanks for a great presentation.

[burfscape]

This made me want to paint something purple really badly!! The finished product looks so insanely rich. Incredible work, as always - thank you!

[capnskustomworks]

The purple color scheme looks really nice on that one! I particularly love how the effect looks on the chain!

[jimihaze]

Yo!! The tip about applying the paint from the side of the brush for large areas is a game changer!! Thanks, Lyla!

[bluenine]

I love how far these techniques have evolved. My pop palette is amazing for metallic paints too

[neileddy]

This was great, only one thing i would add, for base coating before midcoat and highlight coat, i hit all my metals with something like duraluminum or the like, this really helps the metals pop when you apply the speed paints.
