God it looks way better in real life I swear. Not my best work.

Have you ever tried contrast paints? AKA Slap Chopping? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cKztEjvGsVw

Just curious since you said small model was a pain in the ass.

Miniature panting is a hard art. Your doing fine. You don't have bleed areas. You did some wonderful eyes. Your whites are maintained constancy and you kept control of your yellows (both runny paints). The next step is building your highlighting and washing skills and those come with time and practice like anything.

So good work and it only gets easier from here on out.

I did use contrasts but I think it went bad something because of the age of the pots.
