I'm still a novice as to how to go about all of this but I have found a simple and effective way to really make my minion monsters defined without a hint of talent.Step one: Clean them of any debris. Bit of warm water, soap, won't take long.
Step two: Mix black acrylic paint with water. 50/50 will probably do. I got mine from the dollar store.
Step three: Apply that mix to the entire miniature.
Step four: Give it ten minutes to dry.
Step five: Dip that mini in water for a few seconds, then wipe away all of the paint that you can using a cloth or paper towel.
Result!
On the right, unpainted Giant from 1e. On the left, giant with the above quick wash.
I'm still working on how to best enhance the Masters. I tried a black wash on one and it just doesn't show clearly enough. A lighter wash would be odd. Maybe an orange dry brush will do the job, if I can reliably get that to work.
