--Speaking of which Jak, I thought you were participating? Deadline's coming in fast
20 May 19:46
--@Jak Probably the next. I haven't studied my mistakes enough from the last two. Haha! Forge me a note without a date! It might come in handy one day! Remember to write it illegibly!

--Learn on the job, man, learn on the job. You will find your weaknesses much faster if you are actually APPLYING the fundamentals you are learning than if you are just doing study after study after study.

--@zest What's great about the CC is that it's a very active thread. You'll get critiques in a matter of hours. A paintover if you're lucky. It's a competition, but there's also this feeling of every participant wants everyone to win. Even if you're a beginner, rest assured people will guide you.

--a week...fuck. well, this makes the forging of this doctor note feel a biiiiiit more justified hahahahahaha

--The worst that can happen is that you learn something doing it and Amit and Piotr give you good advice. Truly a terrible fate awaits those who dear participate in the CC before they are gud. LOL
20 May 17:44
--No, not participating is the bad idea. Don't make the same mistake I did and think you can study, study, study and get gud at everything BEFORE you try creating things. It doesn't work, it is a bad idea, and it will make you frustrated with art.

--I don't think that's a good idea, I guess I'll do that after a few are done. I don't have a grasp of the most rudimentary concepts yet, like composition, etc

--@zest Participate in the CC anyway, you don't get better at something by not doing it. ;-)
