This is definitely not a complete guide or anything but I think a good place to start! I really am a huge fan of the Reaper Kit, as it gives you everything you need ane a good foundational base in the instructions, from there it's just branching out and learning! Let me know if I can help at all!

I also watched a lot of painters on twitch, it was good to see their workflow and hear them talk about what they were doing, @tabletopminions.bsky.social is a favorite!
This has a lot of info and may be a bit overwhelming but Lyla is a great painter! youtu.be/Y17qBpyLtV8?...

Yeah! I started with this, though it has changed a bit since I did it: www.reapermini.com/search/ltpk/...
It's a kit that comes with everything you need to get started, including models, paints, brushes, and instructions!
There is a similar kit for more advanced skills to do after this one too!

Thank you so much! You should absolutely try, it's actually a much more forgiving hobby than it seems. And if you do think you messed it up, you can just paint over it! I'd be happy to share some resources to get started if you wanted!
