Watch the course previews.

I need to get rid of that spot. Annoying. Okay, let it dry first You have to wait until it's completely dry before the second coat Wait for it to dry, then apply the second coat Okay, I'll wait for it to dry Alright, it's dry. The first layer's dry. Let's take a look Still can't fully cover it. That's normal, because the first layer so we need a couple more coats Okay, let's keep adding the base color Repeating the same steps. I'll take this off So I can paint it better We want to get it done in two two coats if we can For a good finish, two coats, and One thing—if you've decided on a base color You can just spray primer in that color Painting a grey figure? Spray grey primer. Green? Green primer Or for grime, spray grime-colored primer. That works fine Today we're just showing you the rough ratio for this bottle-color thinner For such a light color, you could spray grey primer

really close, right? Really close Let me think You can practice on the little golden guy's shield. The shield has a pattern on the front, right? Just sand it flat and paint right on it. So simple. Why use the calf? How much room does a calf or thigh even have? Right? That little golden guy's shield The shield has that hammer and... some kinda lightning pattern on it, right? Just take a knife, shave it off, sand it down, and it's a flat surface. Flat surfaces are easy to paint Hahaha, okay, okay, okay. OK Alright, now let me mention a few things I might bring this up later too. But yours is pretty small The area's a bit small. Everything else is fine. 'Cause with an area this small, sometimes when you're working it's kinda hard to get it right, because this spot is a bit small. You didn't finish painting it Reduce both sides a bit. Reduce both sides. A little less Also watch the volume. If this middle area is bright these blacks still aren't lit up, right? See, visually the middle doesn't feel lit. The whole thing should be a bit brighter The whole thing needs to be brighter than the sides. That volume has to be built up. Like I laid down a dark-to-light gradient at the start, right? That gradient has to come first That's the base. Then you paint the details on top. Otherwise, when you're done, it's all flat and murky, like a flat painting. It won't read as a 3D piece of wood or a 3D structure Okay? Got it? Then you build your details on top of that. Now, uh Right now there's stuff on top I can't tell apart Like, which one is a groove and which is raised? It's confusing. Like this ridge here Right, it's bright overall, right? The blacks light up too Yeah, we covered that — the fish-path even felt, right? But what I mean is, like this line — why do I think it's a groove? Because there's a bright edge here, see? There's a bright edge here too. So this edge, I think, should be a groove. Okay This one I think is raised. It's a recessed part... and this is raised here. I can only guess, right? It looks like So these things have a bit of a distribution problem, right? We can't do too many variations in such a small area That way you'd get a bit confused. If I were to suggest
