First miniature painting WIP

Hey guys thought i would upload some pics of my WIP miature, This is my first try painting a miniature. Hopa you like it.

If that's your first try, then you're a natural! My first mini looked horrendous by comparison. Nice job with shading on the red robe.

A couple of quick tips:

1) Put a little black in the skull's eye and nose sockets, using thin (watery) black so it just goes into the deep parts. A little bit under the cheekbones and around the teeth would look good, too.

2) Dry brush the stones on the base with gray -- wipe most of the paint off the brush, then drag it across the rough surface so it just leaves a little paint behind. Then, If you want, try a lighter shade of gray after that, and highlight just a few spots here and there.

Overall, great job, you're off to an excellent start!

THAT'S A FIRST ATTEMPT! You REALLY are a natural. There is little to critique on the mini; perhaps a bit more depth to the skin color is about all. You achieve a VERY nice overall effect. The depth of color on the skull is right on. VERY WELL DONE!

Wow !!! I have nothing to say about the paintjob, you're a better painter than me
But if what I see on pic 4 is right, I can help you to do better : we see the line from molding, I think you forgot to remove it before the painting process
Or am I mistaken ?

For your first miniature i think its really good. i agree with what the other said about the skulls and flesh

-Foot

I wish my first minis would have looked like that. Great job!

Thanks for the tipps. And i'm glad you guys like it.

I will try the stuff you said and see if I like it.

My friend told me some different technics and I think I't wouldent have lookt this "good" with out a few tips.

Some mistakes have to be done
Hope your next mini will have the required treatment

Honestly - Thats an AMAZING first mini!
Omg.. If just my first mini looked like that...
But seriously, good job!

that's awesome!

I can't even paint THAT good! and i'm doing it for 7 years now

Stunning keep it up!

(and I didnt even see the mould line.. i never remove them myself anyway *hides in his closet for angry mob*)

oh so there is the little creation that was painted yesterday at my house
yeah i have to agree with all the others on the forum that you are a natural.

my first figure that i painted was a total mess.
and if you just keep on painting i think you will be REALLY´good. you seem to have the eye for it!

so now you just need to get yourself your own paints and workspace!


nah... you can always use my paints!
