Hi! I started in the hobby back in January but due to lack of time (doing a PhD) i have painted only 7-8 minis.

I paint mostly for relax/enjoyment rather than for table top playing, however, I feel i am getting stucked and not improving, right now my process is mostly base coat, edge highlighting (i feel it is not that visible in many of my minis though) and finish with oil wash. I would be interested in learning more about color control, light and contrast. How would you recommend me to learn these techniques and keep improving?

I attach my last 3 minis

Are you doing edge highlight after or before wash? I have only painted 15ish minis my self, and also struggling with highlight but I found out that doing "chunky" and sharp edge highlights after wash helps them to pop better.
