It's my own chapter! Back when I started 40K, I wanted to paint my marines to look like the Half-Life HEV Suit, but I still don't have a good chapter name.
You ever type out a whole reply only to realise the person you're replying to wasn't asking for advice?
Anyways, besides just getting more experience, the best trick I've found is to find a way to brace both of your elbows while you paint. For me, this is usually by leaning back in my chair and bracing against my sides or knees. There's also a lot of edges that you can paint by using the side of the bristles instead of the tip, which gives a wider margin of error.
Thanks for listening to my paint ramblings I'm too deep into this hobby haha

I'm always amazed by how steady everyone's hands are that paint these.
Mine would be like a toddlers crayon doodle.
