Help me become a Professional Artist

[Amit Dutta]

Great to see your stuff on CC2, had some promise! Feelings of stagnation, mean you have a desire to push yourself to better things, and that's exactly where you should be since you are still in the earlyish stages of learning and skills development.

Jyonny has a good point. If you want to design stuff, you have to practice designing stuff. That's what concept designers do. I actually don't even like using the word art when referring to concept work. It's not art really, it's design. Anyway, whatever you do, I think it is important to finish work, and get used to finishing work as well as doing studies. Force yourself to do it. I have seen most people participating in CC having issues because they have been mostly study hounds, and haven't cottoned on to the idea that finishing pieces is actually a really really important and separate skill to practice :)
