Welcome to another Game Face Nation Studio Workshop tutorial!

In this video we cover how to use layers of different shades of paint to create highlights on a mini. This technique is awesome for small areas of skin, armor, clothing, etc that are simply too small to easily use glazing or wetblending. It's also great for quickly adding highlights to larger areas of a miniature if you'd rather get the job done faster.

Also keep an eye out for our next video being released on March 10th. We'll be covering how to use hardlining to add depth and simple highlights to minis!

One thing is often not mentioned in tutorials that a beginner may not have realised:

It is important to not have too much paint on the brush, especially while highlighting. If the brush has too much paint on paint will pour out of the brush on to the mini (especially if you have thinned down the paint). This is not what you want, you want the paint to only be on the areas you have touched.

Further, overloading the brush with paint will reduce how sharp the point of brush is, making it easier to touch the wrong areas of the mini and harder to keep the paint to where you want it.
