While I was learning to use my Air brush we did something to make painting Space marines a lot faster if you want to get them to only to a table top standard. Also, this can be used to help people keep on track with where the lighting on the model should be
So to start off with you must prime in black helps to add shadows, then you base coat you model, leaving some area's with very little paint/the darkest shadows so at a 45-90 degree angle
Then fist Highlight 70-90 degree angle
Then finish off with Extreme highlight on the directly on top of the model.
From Here all you need is a few more touches to make a fast job of a space marine but in all fairness, I don't think people who only care about models that are ok on a table when you game read blogs about painting because they don't really care about them only the game its self so you might think why bring this up.
Well using this method we could all use this to help with light source all you need to do is the same, but using Black, Gray and White primer and from there you will know as you are painting where things should be going and how it should look.
This technique is really nice when combined with others, as it creates a really nice effect on the tabletop, that can be transitioned into competitions with practice!
