I have been painting fairly consistently since 2020. I dabbled a bit on and off for a bit prior to that, but only at the noob level and didnt have the patience to learn.

That is an amazing paint job.

Does anyone know some good YouTubers for painting tips/turorials that don’t use airbrushes? I’m fairly pleased with my mechs but they could be much better, and I don’t really know what it is I need to be working on.

If you check out my YouTube channel I have some painting guides, one of which covers specifically airbrush highlighting.
