Subject: Studio Workshop - How to: Highlight Black w/ Edge Highlights
Welcome back to the Game Face Nation Studio Workshop!
Today we're going to be talking about the simplest method of highlighting black, hardlining. This is a great method of painting a visually interesting black for a tabletop level army. This process begins with a black basecoat on the miniature. Highlights are then added to the edges of the miniature using the hardlining or edge highlighting technique that we covered a couple of weeks ago: http://tinyurl.com/kxq6rrz . During highlighting, use a dark charcoal color for the largest portion of the hard edges, then use a lighter gray to edge smaller sections of the miniature, finally use a light gray to highlight the highest portions of the hard edges. Take a look at the GFN video "How to Find Highlights": http://tinyurl.com/khjaegs if you need some help figuring out where these last few highlights should be placed on your miniature.
Keep an eye out for our next video releasing on March 31st in which we cover how to use layers to achive great looking highlights on your black miniatures!
Enjoy and don't hesitate to comment and share this video!
