3) This tutorial on eyes is useful for painting eyes, at least it worked for me better than the other techniques, right now. In any case, one can at least try it.

Cheers, LT.

Thanks LT, I added it to the list. That is the opposite of how I do eyes, but worthy of consideration because my method takes more brush control. Darin Hlavaz is a talented guy!

Found this site. http://www.necrotales.com/necroTutorials/

Don't think anyone has posted it. It has alot of good base-fu tips and display base building.

That's a great resource Dog Soldier! I'll add in some of those tutorials!

Posted a tutorial on scratch building wings from Necrotales. The wings are so cool looking I'm looking for a project I can use them for!

Awesome link, This thread gets better every time I check it.

That and my painting got a lot better after checking out a lot of these links. Thanks Pogre!!

This thread should be stickied!

Well since that ain't happening, I'll bump it with a quick tip...

Cool idea Frank!

I've done the same basic thing with Hirst Arts columns and arches.

I also weeded out a few dead links from Fantization, which are apparently not coming back.

Also: The link to Jen Haley's tutorial on faces isn't working, because she closed down her old page.

Her new page has articles on (so far):
Painting Faces
Painting Freehands
Choosing & Using Brushes

Though I get the feeling that all of them are more advanced and harder for a beginner, since they already require a larger painting palette and good brush control. But I don't think it's totally wrong to add them.

Cheers, LT.

Thanks LT - I stole the new links and put them on the 1st post. I also took down my articles from d20zine as it is pretty much gone.

New "article" on using transparent glazes for blending. Has a lot of potential. Only appropriate for show quality miniatures though.

Pogre,
I tried the first set of links for the GW site, and they all send me to a "page load error" screen. The links to other sites work fine for me.

Thanks for this thread, I've started feeling like I can finally do a good job with my own painting and leave those pre-painted minis on the shelf.

Thanks for the heads up. They have really modified their website and taken down some of the best painting and modelling articles. I had not been on there in a long time. I appreciate you checking the links - obviously I should do it more often

I usually just add to the list when I find something useful for my own painting.

Added a link to Mike Kan's site. This guy has some solid instruction for painting table top quality figures quickly. His table top standard is pretty darn high!

Well, the Aussie site seems useful still.
