| Don't overthink painting figures too much- it's the type of

| master who uses a few paints and some cheap brushes.
|
| Basically, just start by trying to get color onto the right
| part of the figure, then watch some videos on how to use shades
| and highlights to add depth and texture. Play with the
| different techniques, buy some specific brushes or tools to
| make those techniques easier or more consistent, ditch the
| techniques that don't seem to work for you.
|
| Look for 'Sonic Sledgehammer' on youtube for a good way to
| start, at least for Warhammer sized figures. His focus is for
| people who need to paint a bunch of figures in something of a
| hurry, but that means you can get a decent looking individual
| figure in an evening, which is encouraging. He'll usually call
| out optional extra steps to add more depth or detail, which
| gives you a good idea of how more advanced techniques work when
| you're ready.

| Similar situation with High Alagan Coat of Healing on FFIXV.
