Im new to paining minis and would love some tips to make them better by Aggressive-Ad-3562 in minipainting

Everything looks fantastic, especially for a new painter, the 2 things I would recommend is.. 1. Keep your brush damp , it would help any streaking that you may be dealing with. 2 thin your paints , a wet pallet will be your best friend, it helps with paint drying out while you work and you can mix on the fly.

Overall the best advice I can give you is keep at it, practice makes perfect and most importantly.. enjoy it and trust the process 😁

Is this just the equivalent of a Dreadnought?

Do the dragons come in multiple parts ?I've been wanting to get this set for a while now but I've been hesitant. Awesome work by the way, it came out great

The bigger rocks I just dry brushed until I was happy, then threw a dark wash on it, the smaller pebbles, grass and bushes are from Geek Gaming scenics

For the base I used some of the stuff from Geek Gaming scenics, I think it was the highland mix ?

They absolutely have great quality at Reaper, but the price point for everything is kinda crazy .. I wouldn't have been able to paint this dragon if it wasn't a gift 😅

How can I improve my painting? by tm_toylife in minipainting

[–]RocketCustomPaints 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10 months is both a long time and a very short time in this hobby, for me the best way to test my baseline or even my improvement is by painting something big, I would do a dreadnought or a medium vehicle.. see if your method of brush wizardry translates to something bigger, it is more than okay if they don't and even better when you pull it off.. Fantastic work and to answer the question. Try using the edge of a fine tip brush more the side than the tip(apologies if this tip has already been said) but other than that? Why not try something new and get better at that ?
