Eru is new

[eru]

Hi guys
I'm Eru and I'm from New Zealand, I live in Auckland. So I hope to travel and see more conventions here in NZ, to learn about other people and see how they progress there way into art. I come to this forum to get more inspired and start to get involve around the community who are also learning. Because I believe me just always looking at professionals or top of line people make me feel overwhelmed by their talents as I don't have any but I'm hoping to push my boundaries as a trained artist. I'm interested in becoming a concept artist/designer, and I love films,games, design, animation and comics and more. I have study 3D animation but I believe I enjoy drawing and coming up with designs more quicker and efficient then all the technical stuff in getting the look in 3D. I like 3D but maybe I will learn more 3D sculpting to get some other kind of ideas. I hope to learn a lot from here and I thank SamYang tfor this website, as I've gotten more interested.

Thanks all, Arigatō.

Hey Eruera, welcome to le daggers!

Ooh, hello neighbour ^ ^ I'm from Aust haha o/

That's awesome, I hope you're able to find inspiration hanging 'round here, though I'm sure you will - just browsing through the sketchbook section will get your adrenaline pumping and make you want to draw faster than you can say "awesome!" :P

I hope you enjoy your stay and feel free to dive into the community!

Take a moment to look at this

How to improve general and art focus

The first step part
Make sure you're mentally and physically ready.(make all the necessary to boost you're self esteem )

The social part
Talk to someone who is doing what you want to do ― One of the biggest timesavers (and confidence boosters) when setting out to learn something new is to talk to someone who has already mastered what you want to do.

Take art class to meet local artist

The time management part
Do Checklist of thing to do

THe most important part
Draw until you die(as much as possible)this is the main key to improve drawing skill

Be smart part

Accept the risks arising from a decision.

See mistake as a way to improve something.(you don't need to be perfect )

Simplify you're working method.(shortcut)

Do not copy someone be yourself.(we are what we are)

Avoid distraction.

Avoid focusing to much on detail.

Learn to say no.

Be aware of the time.

Avoid being lonely for to long.

Avoid negativity.

Avoid unsupportative or negative people.

Do not expect people to approve all the choose you make.

Do not expect people to make you feel good but be good to yourself.

Face you're fear

You mustn't rest on your laurels.

Remember to avoid old mistake and take note(note are important is not like a flow of idea that you need to remember it on paper so you just need to make a clear name for each category of thing you want ro remember)

Find someone who will give you honest feedback in the same field you try to improve(do not take anything they say personal )

Measure your progress ― Keep an accurate journal of the progress you make. This will keep you on track to meet the learning timetable you've set for yourself. Follow this schedule religiously. Don't turn on the television or go to bed at night until you have completed each day's task.

Stay hydrated.

Stay healthy.

Sleep 8 hour.

Get resource part
Get useful tool to speed up learning curve
(book,tutorial,image bank,time management tool,use forum feedback)

The study part

Study the material more than once ― Often, when people take a course or read a book, they only go through it once. Yet, to really master the information, you need to go through it multiple times. You'll find you always learn something new and come away with a better understanding of your subject matter. Plus, make a note to go through the material again six or twelve months down the road or as need be.

Don't try to learn it all in one session ― studies was shown that learning is more effective when it is spread out over time rather than jammed into a grueling study session. (Picture a college student pulling an all-nighter.) This insight has been confirmed by other researchers since this discovery. So instead of reading a new program or "how-to" book over the weekend, you might want to pace yourself and set up scheduled study times over a number of days or weeks. Chances are, you'll wind up reducing your learning curve by taking a more measured approach.

Challenge yourself part

The Race is On
Compete against yourself to see how much you can get done of high value each day. Make it a game. Set schedules and deadlines for yourself and race against the deadlines. See if you can get more and more done in less time and improve your learning curve.

Develop a clear vision for yourself as a highly productive person. Think about the times in your life when you were most productive, effective and efficient. Think about those situations when you were doing the right things and you were doing them in the right way. You were getting a lot done in a short period of time. You felt terrific about yourself and your performance. You were in that magical state of “flow,” when you felt happy and exhilarated.

Work hard part

Work Harder to Increase Productivity
work harder at what you do. When you work, work all the time you work. Don’t waste time. Don’t look upon the workplace as an extension of school or university where you spend most of your time socializing with your friends. Instead, when you come into work, put your head down and work full blast for the entire day. This practice alone will enable you to increase productivity.

The work faster and better part

Work Faster with a Clear Vision
work faster. Develop a sense of urgency. Get on with the job. Don’t waste time. Develop and maintain a clear vision and a fast tempo in your work activities. Deliberately move faster from task to task. You’ll be amazed at how much more you’ll get done just by deciding to pick up the pace in everything you do.Understanding fast, think fast, act fast.Learn how to use keyboardshort cut .

Value what you do part

Chose High Value Projects
work on higher value activities(example:weakness or something you have interest in) Remember that it is not the number of hours you work that matters. Rather, it is the value of the tasks that you complete that counts. It is the quality and quantity of results that you achieve. The more time you spend on higher value tasks, the greater results you will obtain from every hour you put in.

The reward part

Showcase Your art so you feel proud of yourself(avoid being to proud it only to boost self esteem or else you will not improve as much as you can as i said in the smart part You mustn't rest on your laurels.)

Reward yourself
In order to motivate yourself, add in a reward for yourself at key achievement milestones. For instance, if the program you're learning is broken down into nine chapters, after completing the third, sixth, and ninth chapters, treat yourself to something special. It doesn't have to be big. It could be something like going out to dinner at your favorite restaurant or going to the theatre to see a movie.

Teach it to someone else part

Teach it to someone else ― A good way to test exactly how well you understand something is to try and teach it to someone else. There are two benefits to this. You will have to study more in order to put together the course material to teach it to someone else. And by actually teaching it to someone, you'll find you better understand and retain what you learn longer.
