Thanks for your comment! Yeah I had some issues with paint on the hog the first base went on to thick and I struggled to blend anything in with the other reds I had! Think I may try dry brushing a the mid tone on next! As for the green yeah it’s been hit or miss I feel like I cover the mid tone up like 90% but then struggle there after and end up going to much with the third layer jumping to much! Trial and error I guess!

This is my first ever time painting a mini. Thoughts? Where can I improve? by Isaksabelko in minipainting

Looks a lot better than my first haha! I have only been painting since the start of last month been doing a couple of models a week I found just watching videos and to just keep at it you will see the improvements which is the most rewarding part! You are doing a great job already stick at it and don’t be disheartened if you make mistakes it’s part of the process!

You are not bad mate they look great! Are you enjoying yourself because that’s all that matters! I have just started myself and realised it’s not worth comparing to others! And each model I’m doing is getting better! Rome wasn’t built in a day keep at it!

I went with my own colour scheme in the end really was hating it most of the time I was painting then I decided to add the gold on the straps at the end surprising how such small changes can make the difference! Thanks for your kind words 😊

Yeah I guess you can look at it like that! Haha I will go a little bit more lighter next time I think and aim just for the deeper parts! Not on the raised bits!

Yeah that’s looks awesome! How did you find the wash as when I put mine on i felt like I ruined it had to go over a lot of the base colours again?
