I'll stick with Drake Farstrider : ) I remember the first mini I ever paint (I was 14 or 15 years old I guess)... And for a 8 years old, if you keep on goin, your going to kick asses !!! Try both dry brushing for the light areas, and lavishing for the dark ones... For instance, here, you take a dark green (or you make one yourself by adding blue to your green), you let water on your brush and sweep it slowly into the dark areas of the robe, just as you have done for the hood & sleeves : ) Anyway, keep it up : )

Really nice work! If I may add: think about colours that are more naturalistic- when you make your colour choices dont choose your favorite even though you might really want to.

As the others have said I wish I was that good when I started and I was in my teens. I really like the colours, reminds me of slimer from the ghostbusters. One easy technique you could try is drybrushing. This is the process of using a lighter colour and wiping most of the paint off on a tissue. Then swipe your brush over areas with the same colour and small amounts of the lighter colour are left on the raised areas. There are loads of tutorials out there which will explain it better. Excellent work once again and good luck with your future projects...
