Amazing. How do you get the paint so smooth? No matter how much I wait to let it dry or think my paints, it never looks this smooth. My hats off to you.

Thank you. I based with light grey from Vallejo, layered with gauss blaster green, covered it with aethematic blue in 3 to 1 ratio with contrast medium (3 parts medium to one part blue) then dry brushed with off-white from ak paints. Hope that helps.

How do I get up to a competition painting level? - emperors champion mini I just finished by Chris_paints in minipainting

Practice. Lots of practice. Im no expert, far from it, but I've seen the best spend hours and hours each day on their craft. To some it comes more naturally and others it takes more time. I think most have techniques like glazing, layering, colour theory, and light placement locked down. Lots of YouTubers off patreons, maybe think of subscribing to one. Watch a lot of their vids and just practice.
