So i decided to test both of them and see how i feel. I have done alot less painting over the past week and i had started to teach myself some maths and some 3d, at the expense of sleep haha. I wonder if i do decide to switch to 3d if i can continue posting in the dagger sketchbook, but of my 3d progress.
Sounds troubling xD. Sometimes i wonder how anyone decides what to do with life. The best advice i can give is the idea of 'its not what you do but what you dont do' that i picked up somewhere. It would obviously be fun to learn and do everything, but to go about actually doing something, you have to give up a lot of things that are important to you.
Regardless, i can't see how learning 3d would detract from drawing, it certainly improved my ideas about simplifying things, and coming from a science background, physics and especially mathematics are way more related to art that I think most people realize. Its just about getting good at identifying problems and learning the tools to solve them. So at the very least, I wouldn't worry about wasting time xD.
Keep working hard! At least your improvment shows :D.
