I'm sure if you follow my website or facebook page at all (loswarmachine.com or Line of Sight on Facebook), you've seen me posting (spamming) my sketch style painted models. I've certainly fallen in love with the technique, and I've gotten a ton of people asking how it works and what it is. Fear not, the call has been heard and what you're about to click on is an article taking you step by step through the entire process with enough pictures to almost crash the squarespace editor (56!). I hope it's helpful, if you have any questions please feel free to ask (and seriously go check out Matt Dipietros stuff, it's amazing). www.loswarmachine.com/losgeneral/2017/11/18/hobby-time-sketch-style-what-is-it |

Nice tutorial, thanks for sharing. I recently tried something similar, it's definitely easier to shade and highlight in monochrome than preforming the same cycle multiple times with multiple colours. It seemed to me that you can't get as saturated colours as you would with traditional painting though.

They give you a lot of saturation without overriding the highlights underneath. |

I used Badger Minitaire ghost tints, which I think are quite saturated? Do you know any inks that work better? For the record here's the model: Shaded & highlighted:  Coloured:  He looks pretty good overall, but I did loose some of the contrast (it's not obvious in the photos) and you can see that the highlights in the red areas especially look less saturated than working with a red palette to begin with would have been. The reason I painted him the way I did, other than for experimentation purposes, was because I thought it would be very difficult to match the blends across his front in two different colours if I painted them separately. |

Nice tutorial! I should give this a try, though i do not want to mix styles compared to my regular trolls. Ill probably try it on a minion unit or something like that that should look different  |

Nice! Iv been using the washes and glazes from GW over a white undercoat for while now and painted a decent chunk of my O&G army in a couple of afternoons. One thing that bothers me is that colours don't look as rich as what Im used to with a classic paintstyle but the time it saved was worth it I think. Hopefully this method will help in that regard. Have been thinking of a monochrome base"coat" for a while but didn't know where to start. Thanks  |
