My second Mini ever painted I think its ok the base is a little iffy as is the metallics oon the back but other than that I think he is good. Please comment so I can improve.
Pretty good for a first. I'd say that the metallics would look better if they were toned down a little, they're really shiny and distracting. A lot of folks prefer the NMM, but I'm happy either way. The lining on the braides is a little choppy, you should try softer lines for lining there. The base is rather simple, which I think is good for this mini. I think you did a great job shadowing and highlighting the nose area, but I think the forehead and hands could have done with a little bit more. This is all IMO, and I'm no expert by any means, but I think you have a wonderful start!
