Originally I was going to research using Substance Designer but I had to swap to hand painting last minute because I was unable to find time to use Designer for any of my projects.
What I learned most is that the hand painting process takes a lot of time and practice. Something that is not a luxury I have. You need to do a lot of material painting studies to better understand how light and color interacts between things like metal, wood, stone, etc.
I didn't really get to create something of quality due to the fact that I just do not have the skills at the time of writing or the time to actually practice. I would also practice more with just painting to get materials correct and study more fundamentals on light and color.
I would recommend looking at these outube channels for more information on techniques. These will show you how to set things up in 3DCoat to get the easiest experience with hand painting.

There are also two communities that I think would be good to join to get feedback, and those are The Handpainter's Guild and the discord of the Youtuber I posted above ZugZug.
