The Youtube Addict, formerly the Unicorn Addict, has been bugging me since we saw Jumanji: The Next Level to make a Ruby Roundhouse (Karen Gillan’s character) for her. I said I would help her make her own. She went through the fodder and picked out parts she liked based on a reference photo she found. I walked her through it all on how I would do it, but she did the work. She learned how to spray paint to do a base coat and immediately wanted to start tagging the neighborhood. She learned a little about detail painting and little about washes and little about covering up mistakes-I mean fixing them.
. After her third set of wonky eyes she asked a pro to do it for her. She then saw how un-pro I am at painting eyes and didn’t feel as bad about herself afterward. #UnintentionalSelfesteemBoostAchievementUnlocked
The paint wasn’t even dry yet before she was taking pictures of it to share with her friends. She saw me using that plant for Gung Ho pics a few days ago and decided she wanted the same thing for Ruby.
