/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>2808789
I learned my painting from doing 40k minis that you can see in the background behind the midnas. Not saying you should go specifically into this to start (It's too fucking expensive unless you have a resin setup), but many principles easily carry over, just with a bigger brush. You can find plenty of mini painting tutorials online. Even the games workshop ones are great (Avoid the paints though, the paints are good but the pots WILL spill and are expensive as shit)
If i had to condense the basics it's pretty much just:
>Prime
>(Optionally) sand
>Don't slop the paint on thickly and thin it out a little bit and spread it across the model as much as possible
>Leave it at that or go ham with shading and details for extra fanciness
Oh and also don't be a retard like me and don't use PETG for figurines. It worked for big Midna through some effort but primers, paints, and ESPECIALLY glues really hate bonding to it. I had to learn it the hard way.
