    So I'm pretty new to all this but started work on my first miniature in a a couple of decades. It's not fantastic but I like to think I'm getting somewhere. Thoughts?

    (Btw far from finished)

    Lovely colour choices, Excellent first mini! :p

    Just some tiny tips that could really help the learning process, Normally use alot less wash, around 1/3 or even a 1/5 of what your using, that way it doesn't pool everywhere creating dark patches.

    Always thin your paints with water and do multiple coats above just a single one, this will keep all the detail and also provide a very smooth even colouring

    Keep up the good work, Cant wait to see the model when completed

    Welcome, and good start!
    A tad too glossy for my personal taste but still looking good (I like the paint scheme in general).
    A tad too thick with the paints and washes but that comes with practice.

    Welcome along!

    What a way to start the hobby(again).
    I'm still working on assembling my first Stegadon.

    Like the colorscheme, I would recommend the same about the washes, especially on the lighter basecolors(horns in your case)
    If you want to paint some areas in gradient colors(by applying washes) you can best end your brushstrokes at the point where it needs to be darker. As the wash tent to collect at those points.

    Keep up the good work

    I'd like to see the model once complete

    Gr, Imrahil
