It's a great place if you put in the work
as far as where to start
I would suggest thinking about where you (at this stage in your mind) want to end up
or at least as far as the look and quality you'd like out of your own images.
you've alluded to a taste for story driven fantasy and lines
bear in mind the type of art you like to consume and to create can vary,
that said, I think a nice place to start is to put together a board of art that you would be happy to say you had done
once youve over collected, cull it down slightly and see where your interests in style and theme are pooling
a program like pureref is great for making boards and is paid by once off donation basis
i use this program allllll the time for reference boards.
ok, so youve got your dream portfolio infront of you, minus the you
so now its time to add the you and break down what you actually need to prioritize.
studies are great, but you get a whole lot more out of them if you know why youre doing them.
hope, that helps,
If you have particular pieces you dont know how to move forward or any questions,
welcome to hit me up here or through instagram
good luck to you and again, welcome
thank you especially for the advice it's given me some ideas on how i want to start and approach my journey ^^
Yeah i have pure ref myself i used to swear by it but i haven't used it in a while though :(
i noticed you guys have a discord too so i joined on there as i'm most active on there
