If you’re looking to learn how NMM works, and I suggest you do, then do check this out. Kujo explains the basics, shows how light reflects of different surfaces, and gives examples. Kujo Painting has a great video that goes over how to highlight NMM and covers in more detail the things I was just discussing. I’ll share with you a video that started me down this road.
If you wanted to paint a battered and worn metal then you wouldn’t create as strong of a contrast. Metals that are less reflective won’t have as extreme of a contrast. This can be very tricky to learn, and I’m admittedly not a pro here, but the concept is simple. Metal will jump from very bright to very dark with little to no transition.Īnother thing to consider is that light will skip across a reflective surface and create multiple highlights. The trick with creating the contrast is in putting your lightest colors next to your darkest colors. Where metal catches light it will shine very bright, often to a white, and where there is no light the metal will be very dark, nearly black. To create the look of metal there’s one trick – contrast.
