Salutations from a complete novice. What's your recommendations to get started?

Note: A FLGS in town actually has a mini-painting workstation that you can use for $5/session, or as part of their monthly subscription for playing TTRPGs onsite. Since I play PF2E there several times a week I have that subscription. So I have a place to paint that's already kitted out with just about anything you could need for mini-painting. (I think they charge extra if you want to add stuff like grass, sand, etc. to the mini, but the primer, paints, sealers, etc. are all included.)

I have two awesome minis arriving soon that are unpainted, so I'm looking for online sites/videos that start from "I know nothing" and work up from there.

Thanks in advance for any and all guidance you can provide!

This is a (living, non-exhaustive) list of the recommendations I got on Mastodon when I asked for creators of fantasy miniatures and STLs that create female sculpts in reasonable, non-objectifying ways. Augmented with my own research. Maybe this will be helpful to others as well. Caveat: I'm not a woman, so I might have male-gaze blind spots, so if I screw up, let me know.

Feel free to add recommendations in the comments!

I've got a number of these cups in a variety of sizes, but I can't figure what kind of scenery to do with them. I'd like some ideas, both fantasy and futuristic, whether as blogs, pictures or videos.

Pretty close to done. Need to touch up the bases, cockpit glass and some weapon glow.
