As cliché as it sounds, practice is the best. Focus on developing your weak points, find what you're good at and play to those strengths. I am not the best at flesh tones, so I practice from time to time on bare heads to make sure I'm improving. Also I find that stepping away from what you normally paint and doing something wildly different will give you a new perspective which may help you power through those weak points. For example, I've been working for months on Emperor's Children, but this weekend I painted a Stegadon head that I found in my bits box. Messing with that helped me work on mixing washes to get the color I'm looking for. After 20 years, I've found that you get better with every model. Talking to other painters, hearing their techniques and watching videos will help you to find your own technique. Just paint EVERYTHING you can get your hands on. I'll get better. Good luck!
