    Every time I watch one of these videos I get so stoked to try painting again. Then I remember that it’s not as easy as you make it look.
  • @Geordiecrafts
    Zumikito your blends are god-tier. This wet pallette knowledge is totally new to me so I'm excited super to try this! Also hearing that I don't have to glaze was such a relief, I hate glazing 😂 Well done mate! Awesome content as always!
  • @paintfortauva
    This was by far the best explanation of blending. No other YouTuber has gone this in depth. I feel like I’ve actually learned how to do this. Something I’ve been trying more lately and now it seems so much easier. Thank you!!!
  • @handznet
    One of the best videos about layering 👍🏻
  • @MiniQuest64
    Came to see some glazing, left with some wet pallete knowledge :D Awesome man! Your skin painting is so good, can't wrap my head around it.
  • I love your videos, man. Out of all the miniature painting tutorial guys i watch i view yours most often. And the majority of your painting guides work with scale modeling projects, too, and have really helped guide me along as I work on my first project and i thank you for that.
  • @nytflov2736
    Man, I follow this channel for a few time already and the tutorials are always better as I go into my adventure in mini painting ! Good job man !
  • That was one of your best videos. I learned in a few minutes how to fix some issues I have for the past 2 years. And we live in California so dry out paint is a daily challenge. Thanks a lot!
  • @allenngai22
    You know what I follow your channel since the very beginning and I think your channel is very useful for me even now🙏🏻
  • @daeds.paints
    Lovely content, really enjoy watching your vids, they have helped me a ton. Cheers!
  • @thekartoeffel
    I love your tutorials they're short and on point, with clear messages. It's a very helpful tool when you don't want to submerge into tutorial hell! Thank you!
  • @Grabacr
    I was already missing your videos. Thank you for another great tutorial!
  • @RoniejeBuh
    Great tip for the wet pallete - I struggle exactly with this problem. Gonna try it next time. Thanks!
  • Another AWESOME vid: clear, short, to the point with useable tips and undeniable results. For the curious the figure is Kingdom Death, maybe Zumkito is a thigh man, the sculptor is DEFINITLY a fan of curvy figures.
  • @4Xscalper
    Good stuff man, you crack me up too!
  • @bear_brush
    I will try your change to the wet palette. Never seen it that way but I always like to try new stuff! Amazing video btw.!
  • @Adam_Voxx
