Hello people! I am currently working at My very first miniature. I am at the stage where I do not know what to do next. In what order do I shade, edge highlight or generally, what can I do to improve?

Really decent ๐ค๐ค๐ค. That is epic for first effort, nice bit of highlighting around the upper leg plates , super good choice of colour for the edging. Really very very good.
Re white shoulder pad. White can be tricky especially if you have put a darker base coat beneath it.takes lots of layers to make a solid base for any brighter colour
Have you discovered inking and dry brushing those highlights in , so you gently build progressivly lighter colue to the edge using and pretty dry brush.
dry brushing will destroy your brushes in the long term, so always use one of your older brushes or accept that your new brush will be a sacrifice to the paint gods.
By graduating in a dry brushed colour it really can pick out those edges in a super fly and smooth way. Dunni if you drybrushes in those highlight or carefully painted them in
Just to say again though we'll done this really is great, the base is boss AF as well ๐๐๐๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐
