@hideki @Loki dude, I mean it, your modeling is really good, I still vividly remember the pixel convenience store

> no matter how bad it could be, it's still a step towards mastery

and the nice thing is, most somewhat famous musicians, actors, and such aren't extremely skilled, they're hardworking, persistent, and they're competent in what they do. Not masters of anything, especially pop stars who rely on producers.. Or marvel movie actors.... Or Peter Lik... These are the highest paid performers on the planet, and they're essentially intermediates at what they're famous for... The reason this is, is because harder to appreciate art is not as widely appreciated as easy to appreciate "art", which is usually corporate. Long story short: if you wanna have any success 1) create furiously 2) get connections to anyone and everyone, local, national, cross national, whoever you can and 3) USE those connections AT THE RIGHT TIME as in when you are READY 4) keep creating furiously 5) repeat 1-4. It's obviously more complex than this, but this is the essential formula.

> how do i learn to draw hands?
> keep drawing more hands

lmao but no one wants to listen to this, it's really sad... it's the honest truth! people want the easy way out...

@coyote @Loki wow thanks bro :blobblush: And yeah what you say it's very true, you oughta keep digging and putting effort on every piece you make, no matter how bad it could be, it's still a step towards mastery, because knowledge is not gonna filter through air!

Also saw one artist on twitter answering the question "how do i learn to draw hands?" with: "keep drawing more hands"... some people were really mad (out of confusion because there was not a clearer response and straightforward advice i guess) but it's just that simple in the end.

@hideki @Loki The people who mostly suffer I think are people who see masters and think "I can't do that" and give up, but a master is someone who has practiced diligently for over 10000 hours, that's like, a solid nonstop two or three years of practice, it's infeasible that a beginner will understand concepts without some form of explanation, without sleep, rest, or breaks, it would be around 1.2 years. Artists have to have the ability to be humble and yet properly self-evaluate.. Without that, their growth pales in comparison to a master, but in a personal sense, growth can happen very quickly, like with hideki here, his scenes have been improving since I first saw them, they looked somewhat professional two years ago, but now they're even better and look really good!

I think artists need to be able to see their own progress or it becomes tiresome
