I think you have good eye for color and with reading theory and practice you will be quite a good painter. You just need to focus on some basic techniques.
In general it is usually a mistake to use solid black or pure white on large portions of your mini. If you were to look at how gw players do their skellies you will see they usually do a dark brown base and work up to a bleached bone highlight (often drybrushed). Pure white would be used sparingly on the highest of highlights.
Also, if you thin your paints you wont get such noticable brushmarks. Read the craft section of this site, they helped me tons.
