Ghost Rider 4/5 Motorbike

Hello everyone!

In the previous videos, we worked with a couple of skulls, but this time I wanted to give it a different twist and make it darker so it wouldn't stand out too much from the rest of the bike. I'm also painting it with a new technique. In addition to painting a third skull with a different approach, we're launching into a transformation of the entire bike! We're going to give it a dark but realistic style, paying close attention to the engine details and the different meta...

šŸ–ŒļøNew video /Ghost Rider motorbike

Hello everyone!

In the previous videos, we've already worked with two skulls, but this time I decided to change things up a bit and show you a new technique. In tomorrow's video, in addition to painting one more skull with a different approach, we're going to take on the whole bike! Yes, we're going to give it a dark but realistic look, taking care of every detail of the engine and its different metallic tones.

Don't miss it! It will be available tomorrow on Patreon.

Ghost Rider 3/5 Suit and base

After two videos full of technique and detail, it’s finally time to slow down a bit and enjoy the process! In this episode, I focus on working on the character’s black suit,but I don’t use pure black. Instead, I apply a mix of shadows and subtle tones to give it depth and volume, avoiding a flat or lifeless look.

As I move forward, I also carefully connect this part of the body with the head, paying close attention to how the light from the flames reflects on the surface of the su...

New video Tomorrow, Ghost Rider, Suit and base

Hello everyone,

After two complex videos, it's finally time to relax a bit! In the next episode, we'll work on the black suit, but not with pure black. Instead, we'll use shading and subtle tones to give it depth and avoid a flat look. We'll also integrate this part of the figure with the head, making sure the flames cast realistic light reflections.

And as a bonus, we'll paint the base to look like a dirty, weathered road.

The video will be available tomorrow on Pat...

April videos

Hello everyone, I'm Javi, and today I'm happy to share that I have scheduled the videos for this month. We'll have different levels and themes, and most importantly, a complete figure at the Easy level.

  • Different painting styles (basic level)

    The first video we have scheduled is the theory of the different painting styles. It won't be a very long video, but I wanted to explain these different styles, which one I identify with, and why.

Ghost Rider 2/5 skull head (advanced level)

We’ve already painted the other Ghost Rider head, you know, the one that’s half face, half skull.

But after seeing the sculpt on this other head… I couldn’t resist. I had to paint it!
And if you want to try painting this one (or both), the video will be available.

This time we’re taking our time to create a truly spectacular skull.
And of course, once the skull is done… it’s time for the fla...

Hey everyone!

Now it’s time for the other head! As soon as I saw the sculpt on this version, I couldn’t resist. I had to paint it.

In tomorrow’s video, we’re taking our time to create a truly spectacular skull. And remember: bones are NOT white! We’ll be working with tones, textures, and lighting to give it a realistic, eye-catching finish.
And once the skull is done… you know what’s next...flames! It’s a long process, but just look at that result....

Ghost Rider 1/5 Human head (advanced level)

When I come across a challenge like this, I know it’s going to turn into an epic video. In this latest project, I took on three of the most difficult elements in painting: a realistic face, a textured skull, and flames, all in one piece.

The model was sculpted by the talented team at Wicked, and I brought it to life with a brush in hand. In the video, which runs for over 20 minutes, I take you through the entire process step by step, from the first strokes to the final details. Nothi...

In this new content, I’ll show you how I painted a head that has it all: a realistic face, a textured skull, and some truly striking flames that give it an epic touch.

This project brings together three of the most challenging aspects of painting, all in one single piece sculpted by our friends at Wicked. And to make sure...

Everything you need to paint with an airbrush and how much it costs

I'm sure you've bought materials or tools more than once that you don't use or simply don't use... On my Patreon, in addition to teaching painting, I have an extensive gallery of theoretical videos like this theoretical video where I show you the 21 essentials for airbrush painting like a pro. I also calculate the total cost. Because if you buy the wrong things and then have to buy the right one, you end up spending twice as much.

Severus Snape (advanced level)

Hi everyone, I'm Javi, and today I'm bringing you a very special video.

I'm going to paint this bust with the goal of achieving the greatest possible realism.

If you're expecting a simple video, this isn't it. To achieve this level of detail, you have to work very calmly and, above all, with great subtlety.

The model is courtesy of the geniuses at FRKN, and after many hours of work, brushstrokes, and patience, I've achieved a result with which I'm truly satisfied.

Jinx 5/5 Base

Hey everyone, I'm Javi, and today we finally have the last video of the Jinx figure. It's been a long journey, but the result is absolutely worth it.

In this final video, I’ll be painting the base. A figure this incredible deserves a base just as detailed, so I've decided to dedicate a full video to it—even if it won't be as long as the previous ones.

Let’s wrap up this project with the finishing touches it deserves.

Jinx's clothes 3/5

I'm not sure why this video wasn't published when it was scheduled, so I apologize for that and I'm leaving it for you today so you can enjoy it.

This video focuses exclusively on painting clothes and is 20 minutes long, so get ready! Before starting this stage, all the details of the freehand tattoo should already be finished, so keep that in mind and watch the freehand part of the video.

There's still a lot to do: we still have to work on the freehand paint strokes and the base....

skin tones and how to correct mistakes.

Hello everyone! I'm Javi and I'm bringing you a very interesting video.

I'm going to show you how colors affect the skin to create different tones and also how to correct mistakes.

Although in the video I will explain how to create different tones and how colors influence this base layer, it is always better to do it right from the beginning so you don't have to correct later.

To illustrate it better, I'm going to use… a lot of spoons! This way you can see the before and ...
