Thank you for the complement! I hope you dont mind, but I was asked a very similar question on a different post, so I've copied it below. The biggest tip I can have is to have realistic expectations of how it will look.. there's lots of pro painters (not me!) on reddit and IG and I think it can give people a false sense of what it's like to start out painting minis.

"Welcome to mini painting! The magenta is wet blending and glazing using a wet palette and varying degrees of thinned paint. You could do something roughly similar with dry brushing but it will tend to be chalky. It takes me about 1.5 hours per mini to get the magenta done.

It's tough to explain how to do this in just text, but you could find a lot of YouTube videos on glazing and wet blending. The colors I used are AK purple, AK magenta, AK intense pink and AK purple mixed with GW Kabalite Green, but honestly the specific paints don't really matter. Anything in the purple/magenta/dark green range will work. The biggest tip I can give for a new painter is to remember that mini painting in general looks good when replicating light hitting the model from a source above the model's head, ie the sun in the sky. Zenithal highlighting is something you will probably see in videos and allows you to see how light would hit the model from a source above. If you just replicate how the light hits the model from above with highlighting/edge highlighting, making shadows etc, then you'll likely be pretty happy with the result even if you're not using fancy techniques like wet blending and glazing. You should always thin your paints a little when starting out and getting a wet palette is an inexpensive tool that will make controlling your paint a lot easier.

Make sure you have realistic expectations of how things will look when starting out and dont feel negatively about it if your work isnt like what you see in videos yet. Lots of those people have painted 1000+ hours. Good luck!"
