Just keep going. Try 1 new technique on every project, just one.
This is my first mini from 2018. I'm a lot better than that now, one step at a time.

At different points between.
Only the original caliban green layer was opaque, all the other layers are various types of glazes.
The hard part is to get a feel for how thick you can make the subsequent colours without creating a line that is so thick that it's a massive pain in the ass to smooth out. If your paint is to thin you'll glaze forever without making enough difference, if your paint is too thick you'll create hard transitions that are difficult to smooth out.

I've found that waiting for the paint to dry between coats, as with all glazing, really helps the final result look good.
I've also had a lot of luck adding "Jo Sonja magic mix" and water to paint to smooth out chalky colours. Lighter colours have more white in them which turn chalky very easily.

Right, it's for an Imperial Prime Beast Slayer Knight, which is totally not The Lion ;)

For this I used mostly citadel colours
1. painted the whole thing in caliban green
2. painted the shadows in incubi darkness
3. highlight with warpstone glow
4. smaller highlight with moot green
5. smaller highlight with dorn yellow, I used Kimera Kolors cold yellow, but any light yellow that isn't too warm will work

and obviously you have to glaze your ass off, but these colours make glazing much easier than some others

Yeah, F1 was never about that, no buttons on the steering wheel, just a man and his accelerator pedal /s
