I wish i had photos of my first painting attempts they were really old space crusade marines that i used very glossy enamel paint on lol, in my opinion a good way to learn new techniques is to watch youtube tutorials, one i like is Beasts of war, just by watching youll pick up little things like brush sizes how to hold the brush, and how much paint to put on the tip of your brush, and i also find that the high quality close up shots even give you an idea on how to apply the paint to the mini in the correct way, dont worry if ya dont get it to look great to start with it comes with practice
