Hey guys
My name is Kuba and I've discovered this site (yep, just now!) through facebook. Although I've seen it before, never really dove into it and I've certainly never seen the forums.
Which are awesome.
I've been painting for some time now and what I've been really struggling with is the feedback, or lack thereof. I've been trying to put out stuff on CgHub, Deviantart and all these sites but what you get there are numbers, mostly. You start seeing yourself putting stuff out there just to resurface for a while. The quality of work basically isn't that important, and learning is super hard while you don't get much feedback. It's the thing Dan and Dave were talking about in some super old podcast, people just shoot out an 'awesome!', a meme, or a totally irrelevant comment. Don't have too many friends that are into art so I've been using facebook for following digital artists mostly. I guess I stagnated and swamped myself in commisions, without the best goddamn aspect of art, which is getting better and learning. I also tried to make a blog, and asked for feedback but didn't get too much traffic since I totally suck at advertising/networking or how do you call it.
I started painting while CgHub was still around, never got to use the 'sketchbook model' which apparently is the nuts for getting valuable feedback. Also, people here seem to be awesome and the work ethic and all this, I'm super pumped, so, hi! I hope to learn a lot with you guys as this seems to be a great place for it!
Any clues about whaddya do now would be awesome :D (a sketchbook, a group?)
