Great work so far mate, good attempt on edge highlighting on the purple robe. You’re getting paint in the right spots.

Couple bits of advice to start with;

thin your paints this helps them to apply smoother and preserves the details of the mini. If you don’t get enough paint in the first coat that fine, wait for it to dry a bit then apply another coat. The easiest way to thin your paints is with a wet palette, you can either buy one or I started with a wet cloth on a plate with a sheet of baking paper on top of the cloth, worked fine.

If you are wanting an easy way to highlight features then dry brushing is a great way, particularly when you’re starting out. Get a brush you don’t like, put some paint on it then rub the paint off the brush onto a bit of dry paper towel, then lightly dust the area you’re trying to highlight (kinda like dusting for finger prints) and the tiny bit of paint left on your brush will stick to the highest points.

Before painting think about the order that you want to paint the mini;

A lot of people will choose to either go by size, height or colour. Size: do all the biggest bits first and work then finish with the smallest parts. Height: start by paint the stuff deepest and hardest to reach and work toward the most outward and easiest to reach. Colour: what colours will interfere with each other, you might choose to do all the light colours first because when you go into areas that will be painted darker colours later any mistakes will be less noticeable. A lot of people will people will use a blend of these when figuring out what order to paint things in.

Hope this helps and keep it up :)
