That\'s a good star. What paints are you using?
Couple points to watch out for:
-Thinning: Looks like the basecoat is a little thick
-Shading : The highlighting look good but it dosn\'t look there was really any shading in the folds and underparts. you need to go much darker there and less saturated (More greys and browns in the mix.)
-Darklining: A solid line of the darkest shades between areas really helps defining the different pieces.
- Flesh tones: Overall, too pale and white, try adding some reddish tones in the mix.
The first pics looked like it had more care to it, the rest looks a bit rushed, take your time !
Keep it up

i pretty much agree with everything that greenone said...
I am wondering what type of paint is that? it looks thick and has quite a bit of shine to it.
and green said, thinning your paint is really important. for your basecoat color, start with paint that is diluted at least 1 part paint for one part water. multiple coats of paint is always better than a single coat when it comes to basecoating. you should start with thinning at least 2 parts water to one part paint for blending
the color gradient from top to bottom of the cloak is very smooth! however, when blending you want to put your deeper/darker shades into the folds and recesses of the mini and blend to the highlights on the raised areas.
great start. looking forward to seeing more!

Reaper Master Series paints.
So far as I heard, these are pretty good paint.
Like I said, it\'s a nice starting point, I know I painted a lot worst than that at the beginning.
If you consider these couple points and put care in what you do, you\'ll surely improve fast.
Other things... did you gloss varnish it or used a flash for the pic?
Matt is the way to go, the glare really doesn\'t help appreciating a paint job.
