Yesterday I finished painting the Scarecrow and thought to put it here to get some constructive critisism.
When paizo anounced the pathfinder line of miniatures I knew I had to start painting again but my painting experience was a regiment of skeletons and a regiment of zombies almost 5 years ago, this is my first finished miniature in that many years, I have the miniatures for the frist module but not enough time to paint them, I paint the scare crow because one of my goups are going to enter the clock tower tomorrow, today I star painting Xanesha.
Just keep in mind I have practicaly no expirience painting and that I painted him in one afternoon :P
Here are the links:

Thanks for the comments.
I actually used 4 shades of highligths for my green but the lighting for the pictures is poor and my camera is not good either, I think the biggest problem with the green is that I drybrushed the highlights because I dont know how to blend clolors, I have read a few tutorials but never seen the technic in a video and since I dont have friends that paint and in my country is not a popular hobby I cant go to a hobby store and ask someone to show me how to do it properly.

It looks pretty good, but the photo quality is really too low to make a useful critique.
Here is a tutorial on photographing small items without expensive equipment.

A simple thing I do, and I'm by no means an expert, is to just take the two colors I want to create a blend from and then plan different degrees of change from those two colors. Fire, for example, is pretty easy to do:
Red to Yellow
1st Coat
All Red
2nd Coat, not into the crevices like the first
Mix ratio: Red-Red-Yellow
3rd Coat, higher up on the protruding parts of the mini
Mix ratio: Red-Yellow
4th Coat, even higher up, leaving the other coats visible
Mix ratio: Yellow-Yellow-Red
5th Coat, now only on the most outward parts of the mini
All yellow
