Edgehighlighting is one of the skills and techniques in miniaturepainting that everyone comes into contact with. Games Workshop uses this miniature painting technique as a way to create intriguing boxarts for their releases, increasing contrast and readability of their miniatures. But this way is not particularly credible. with just a slight twist you can improve your miniature painting and edge highlighting massively, to where our brains perceive it as more "credible".

This 3-min Tuesday format is by far the best content you have done! All the rest is also good, but this is so digestible and to the point.

Finally a painter you tuber that understands not everyone watching is a award winning painter and we are just simple part time hobbyist

You summarised in three minutes something I've struggled to implement the last three months. Thank you, particularly the curved surfaces part should make edge highlights so much easier in the future

[AYYOFLOCKA]

Another thing that goes really well with this idea is to try and do some drawing/painting of some basic shapes (cylinders, cubes, pyramids etc)it is a really great way to understand how light works, you can then translate that knowledge gained to bring out these sorts of techniques. It really helps as your brain immediately identifies where you would start placing highlights!

Love your regular format videos but I'm really enjoying these new shorter videos too! Thanks for your hard work and generous teaching!

If I might add my 2 cents. Another thing to add to edge higlighting is dots or specs in the edge that are even brighter, also while edge higlighting you can not hightlight a little stroke along the edge.
This will achive variation that is usualy seen in edges that had been dented due to use.
Cheers!

Love the engineer's approach of breaking down big tasks into smaller, manageable ones!

[Ian_Butterworth]

I appreciate the short, three-minute, format. Impactful and to the point. Much easier to watch and absorb.

[Richiemouse]

These short format videos really are good. So much knowledge imparted so quickly and so concisely 👍

[andrewweber]

I'm really noticing the improvements in your videos. the lighting, the framing and everything. Great video.

[housecaldwell]

I really like this format. I can watch it would the kids are getting ready for bed and sometimes that's all the time I have in a day!

[thedyingmeme]

Olay youve NAILED something i didnt even know. I didnt realize until NOW, watching this vid that i didnt like GW edge highlights. Damn

[graefx]

I've tried doing this in the past to mixed results. Love seeing it explained so detailed and quickly.

[scottnorris]

Your channel has really taken off. Without a doubt, this is one of the best miniature painting tutorial YouTube channels going. Keep up the good work.

[versatilebeatsdj]

Genius. In 3 minutes it has taught me more than hours of gw tutorials. Break it down to the basics man I love it

[pushingpigment]

Loving these three minute series just as much as your regular videos. Hope that you have a happy new year Christof!

[CalAndAly]

Absolutely brilliant! As a photographer who is always lighting scenes and subjects, this makes perfect sense! Great work explaining a complex topic in such an accessible way - the mark of a great teacher

[RisingApe]

Wow, first time I have dipped in for a while, the production level has reached another level, awesome

[sn]

Awesome! Thanks a lot - another great Vid! 2 “Questions”:

* it would be cool to have a vid where you breakdown research. When I do this I sometimes do get confused / overloaded with information. A breakdown would be great!

* do you do trainings / workshops? I’m living in Hamburg and would love to join a f2f training at some point :-)

I like how you get straight to the point and give us good knowledge that helps. This is so useful, I just soak it up and I will try and apply it in my painting from now on. thanks for the tips!
