I have a proud moment! I did a thing! I'm so excited about this 😁
For context, I have ASD, mild Dyspraxia, PTSD and Imposter Syndrome (something I didn't believe in until my therapist explained that I struggle with it).
I've never been able to feel a sense of accomplishment and I have often looked at my creative projects as complete rubbish. But I'm determined to break that thinking.
A week ago, this was three sprues of unassembled model. All grey plastic and a flat, black base. Today I sat down to paint it.
Every bit of paint, every speck of rust, every mound of mud. Base coat, shade and wash. I did this 😁
Introducing my Ultramarine successor chapter: Verdant Sentinels.
I taught myself how to do drybrushing, brush care, proper techniques. I'm actually proud of myself for something I have done 🙂
What a great story! And great paint job! 💪 Glad you found a hobby that can give you a sense of pride and accomplishment especially since you sometimes struggle finding those experiences. Thanks for sharing your journey!
Amazing! Congrats on getting it across the finish line. Here's hoping its the first of many! Keep enjoying your hobby time — that's what it's all about!
