Almost all the coloring work I did somewhat looks like this.
It feels and looks like something's missing and it's bothering me.
Earlier I tried to show the edges by following the wireframe, but I did not get the results I wanted on the line.
I am open to any suggestions that may lead me forward.
I also started to study drawing. I think it will be useful.

In PaintRoom

Edit-> Sync Layers w/ Ext. Editor or

Edit-> Edit all Layers in Ext. Editor

 

You get a bunch of Layers in Photoshop and one of that layers (the last one) have the wireframe included.

You have to set your Path to Photoshop first in the Preferences. Edit-> Preferences-> General-> External 2D Editor.

You hand painting using no smart materials? 1024 is to low of a resolution for detailed painting. Try 4K. If using smart materials it appears the textures are not scaled correctly. Can always resample down the 4K image externally.

Use 2k texture resolution then. Create your images to be used for smart materials at 2k. Scale, position and rotate the smart material shown in the picture. I think scale here is the most important for you as the scale of the materials seem off. In the picture the icon that is inside the square is for scaling.  By moving the mouse / pen  Horizontally to the right reduces scale and to the left increases scale .  If you need a smaller texture resolution for the game, you can resample the image down using an external program.

Welcome!

Another thing that would help with the sharpness of the edge is smoothing groups. If you haven't already, setting those edges to be hard would really help with that.
