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

[JakeB]

Jaik - I dunno, it's a bit of give and take. I just realised I wasn't finishing anything from imagination at all at the end of last year, and this is a good way to force myself to do it. Maybe you can learn more from longer pieces, but there's only so many hours in the day, you know? I wanna study, apply, and do bits of client work (if I have it) or work on my portfolio, all in the same day, taking too long on any one thing makes it much more difficult. All that being said, I think this is a happy medium. I've been spending a couple hours on the studies (sometimes longer) then a bit more on the application, and I feel like I'm learning more than I have in a very long time lol. Plus, it's funnnn :D

Crackedskull - Haha, yeah dude. If I saw that when I looked out of my window, I'd never stop ;)

BenFlores - Haha, cheers man. He's a beast. Learnt so much studying that, just gotta try and apply it in my own work now. :)

Watched Shaddy Safadi's tutorials on youtube today, while studying. Really cool workflow, definitely check them out if you get a chance.

Study


Initial comp, which I abandoned


Here's what I came up with instead :)
