Flat vs Volumetric Painting with Miniatures

This week we're discussing two foundational ways to paint miniatures: flat vs volumetric styles. This will be more theory than demonstration but we believe it's important to understand what you're trying to achieve and the concepts behind these styles before even picking up the brush, though in later videos will talk more about how to achieve these styles, and particularly volumetric.

This is from our Beginner Series on Miniature Painting -- Video chapters provided so feel free to skip around to the sections that are most relevant to you.
