How you tackling learning?

[Adam Lina]

Well I think theres pluses and minuses to focusing on only one subject. On the down side I have to push through learning other things while keeping my figure skills from dropping too much. On the up side I have the confidence and even more desire to learn those other subjects because I've gotten reasonably good in the area that I have most interest in. Getting good with composing scenes will give me a place to put my figures in and that excites me. Before I started learning figures my figures were crappy so it was hard to get excited about drawing environments if I couldn't create a nice pay off with interesting figures. On another note if I had spread myself out and learned everything at once my progress in all of them would be much slower. So the rush of seeing my improvement in my favorite area of drawing kept me motivated. Im not sure Id be as far along if I had not done it the way I did.

So in your case Zearthus, you could focus on composing environments until you feel confident in them. Then when you learn figures it will be icing on the cake that makes your environments even more fun.
