Havoc Posted Monday at 08:42 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:42 PM After not finishing my Orktober Orks I decided I needed to force myself to find some extra time to paint. I have been working alot of overtime lately and it has cut into my ability to paint. Last couple days I've been forcing myself to just paint as soon as I wake up, even if it's just for 10 minutes to get something on the minis. I really enjoy painting and I think just seeing even a little of progress every day will keep me motivated to continue. Bear with me as I use this thread to hold myself accountable and give sporadic updates. 1 7 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388758-forcing-myself-to-find-time/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysimachus Posted Monday at 09:23 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:23 PM They look good! Little and often is smart thinking - if you're in a position to just leave your painting stuff out somewhere, I'd recommend it to anyone! 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388758-forcing-myself-to-find-time/#findComment-6193859 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBRBloom Posted Tuesday at 02:23 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:23 PM Total support mate, absolute and total support. I've been there (I still am) and life gets in the way (fortunately or not). I saw a video a while back, from a lady painter, and she said that, and I paraphrase 'I am not a professional painter, but I got better by simply sitting down and paint for 1, 1 and a half or 2 hours each evening. That's it'. Consistency is more important than lengthy painting sessions. 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/388758-forcing-myself-to-find-time/#findComment-6193945 Share on other sites More sharing options...
