Hello people's. This is my third attempt at edge highlighting (don't laugh, you were there once). It would be lovely if I could have Some advice on getting them nice and clean. Thanks in advance. Here is the mini:

They look good, however when you're building up layers like this, you need to thin your paints more

Ahh, apologies. Fixed now?

Especially the lighter colors (white and bone) needs more thining. This means that you probably have to apply more than one layer but the result will be much smoother.

For your third edge highlighted mini it looks good. You might even consider doing another highlight with a lighter red on the more exposed areas.
And most of the sharpness of edge highlights come down to brush control and brush.
