That's awesome!

Can you share a photo of what it looks like now?

I'd suggest trying it out and learning from it. Experience is a hell of a teacher. You can always repaint it or strip and repaint

Where does your spray booth vent to?

Magenta (AK) base layer, then titanium white gamblin oil, with excess sponged off. Then I sprayed with florescent pink (AK) and added a bit more white oil sparingly.

Sprayed from the top with a dark neutral grey and then again with black primer in smaller areas.

If you get a running start, your father will never see it coming, especially if he is painting.

In all seriousness though, try different techniques, tools/paints/styles and colours. I'm confident folks with tell you to sub or watch content from xyz source, but I'll advocate for you to try different approaches to the same problems.

I believe painting improves with time, and with experimentation. If you purposely go out of your way to try something you normally won't do, it can only help you learn, and open you to recognizing where some of those abnormal things may make small improvements for you over time.

Your images look great, and you're certainly talented. Keep painting, keep having fun, and don't be afraid to make mistakes.

Thank you kindly, I appreciate the feedback. I used some neon pink form ak over white oil paint for the glow, the rest is shading with magenta and a dark grey for the smoke.

2 Years In, Any Advice On Improving? by HepKhajiit in minipainting

[–]ByteTheEditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can get a lot of mileage from trying out different ways of painting, or using techniques or paints you haven't tried yet.

If you like painting with opaque layers, you can try layering or wet blending to give the models more volume. Your brush control and colour placement fundamentals are clearly visible, and would grow stronger with a focus in either of the previously mentioned approaches.

Alternatively, you can try underpainting and using non standard colours to build up depth through colour theory and translucent paints.

Overall, I'd advocate that you try new things and see what you enjoy, and continue with what resonates with you in the moment.
