This technique is super fast and gives your minis deep, natural shadows with almost no effort: 1. Start with the opposite color on the color wheel (using Speedpaints)If your final color will be blue, apply orange first.If it will be brown, apply green, etc.This creates a powerful shadow base. 2. Do a white drybrushThis sets your highlights and defines the volumes before the final color. 3. Apply the actual color on topThe final color blends everything together, but the complementary color underneath pushes the shadows and gives you natural, high-contrast depth. 4. Result:More contrast, more speed, and a mini that looks advanced with very few steps. Question:👉 What complementary combo do you want to try first using this method?

What part of the painting process do you feel is holding you back the most right now?

If you want to move fast without sacrificing quality, use Speedpaints/Contrast Paints to double your progress: 1. Zenithal firstThis gives you automatic shadows and highlights to boost the effect. 2. Load your brush wellDon’t dab — let the paint flow into the recesses. That’s what these paints are made for. 3. Work in controlled sectionsTackle one area at a time to avoid pooling. 4. Let it dry fullyDon’t touch it early — these paints look the best once they settle. 💡 Bonus: If a color looks too strong, glaze a little Contrast Medium on top to smooth it out. Question:👉 What mini are you planning to speed-paint next?

If you want your minis to have instant volume, use a quick zenithal highlight: 1. Prime in black 2. Spray grey at a 45° angle 3. Finish with a touch of white from directly above This creates a light-and-shadow guide that helps you paint faster and with zero headaches. 💡 Extra tip: An airbrush is faster, but spray cans and dry brush work perfectly too. Question:👉 What color do you find hardest to paint over a zenithal?
