Painting/ Hit a wall

[Caleidah]

I know a few guys that have worked for BTP. They have said a few things in regard to the work environment and lack of professionalism in the offices. However, the work that they DO put out is pretty wonderful quality. Elwrath (tall, skinny dude in the videos, longish blond curly hair, mustache) is one of my favorite folks.

I truly admire their ability to turn a hobby into a job. Its pretty much my dream job. I wonder if any of those pros ever started out how i did. A few Orks on a makeshift painting table with some wall-mart paints lined up. Heh.

Just about everyone starts out there, but they eventually decide that they are going to get serious about painting (if they do) and buy good paint that takes well to thinning, learn advanced techniques for painting and model prep, learn how to custom sculpt, learn how to do things like drybrushing and nonmetallic metal, and practice practice practice practice practice.

I'd put drybrushing at the bottom of the skills and nmm at the top in terms of how advanced that stuff is.

Suggestion of any good video tutorials? I am mostly getting hints and ideas on where to go. I would enjoy a guide.

As mentioned before, check out dakka dakka, Im not a member myself but it has great resources.

All in favor of moving this to the Painting and Modeling subforum? It seems to fall neatly into that category.

Also, you may have luck with finding assistance in certain techniques by finding members who paint with them, and ask for advice directly from them in their thread. For example, Shinobi_8745 is pretty outstanding at painting highlights, and might have some hints for you.
