The 10000 Hour Rule - Art Edition - 7626/10,000

[Bookend]

Awesome work-- Great to see this rule being applied to art. If you feel like you're running into a slump, listen to music and rock out. :D

[JakeB]

Bookend - That genuinely helped. When you posted that, I put on headphones, zoned out to music, and just sketched around having fun for a bit. Felt much better afterwards. So thank you :)

WIP - Maybe I'll keep working on it, maybe not. Not sure I've approached it quite right

Awesome dedication here Jake! I've been following for a while and the progress is astounding! Oh and the tutorial you did on the previous page was really great, I love seeing other peoples workflows! Keep it up!

[Bookend]

You're very welcome! I'm so glad that I could help. But, afterall, that's what the community is for. It's to help inspire and encourage us to move forwards.

I really enjoy looking at your work, and it's great to see this sheer amount of potential and talent moving towards a reachable goal. Keep at it. Don't forget to rock.

Mayenla - Thank you :) Glad you liked the tutorial, I've not really done much of that stuff so I wasn't sure how it would come out. Cheers.

Bookend - Yeah, definitely. It's such a good community on here, and online in general. Really helped me for sure. Shall do, cheers man :)

Sweet art! Painting over pictures from trips is a really fun idea I now wanna try next time I go on a trip. The 10000 hour goal is really inspiring and awesome to see.
