SM1981 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Really, the main thing about freehands is practice Pick a subject you like, study the basic shape (the skull tutorial of Paikis is an excellent example). Always draw the outline of your shape first, 2-3 simple geometrical elements, then fill in the details. Paint it at least 10 times on paper to get a feel for it, then proceed to your least-liked models. ^^ Avoid symmetrical things like our winged blood drop in the beginning, it's really hard to not get something odd-shaped, tear drops and skulls are a good beginning. I'd also recommend using a wet palette, I would never paint freehands without it! With some practice you can do amazing things, painting something like this shoulder pad now "only" takes about an hour for me http://fs5.directupload.net/images/151202/d7sz8b7w.jpg I think this may be the best looking infantry troop I have ever seen.
