Hello guys,

I am new here. I found about this group when I was listening to an interview with Alex Negrea as the guest. I am an Animation/Illustration student at San Jose State University. Looking forward to meeting new people and learning new things!

André, Spain.

Trying to learn environment-clothing-weapon digital illustration and concept art. Absolute beginner with this. 5 years or 6 with Photoshop, also a bit of video editing, and NUKE. Trying to learn web desing as well.

I hope I can learn to learn and help others here as best as I'm able to. Thank you guys.

Hello! I'm new here and I joined this forum because I wanted to join conceptartorg but was told to steer clear of it. And someone recommended me this forum instead.
Anyway, a little info about myself: 

• I'm a senior in high school
  
• I plan on majoring in entertainment design and game design
  
• I plan on going to SCAD and hopefully Feng Zhu School of Design
  
• I aspire to be a concept artist for video games
  
• Video games are a huge part of my life (Some of my favs are Majora's Mask, Sly Cooper, Kingdom Hearts, Super Smash Bros)
  
• I'm primarily a traditional artist as I don't have the funds to buy a tablet or photoshop

Hey guys,

Introducing myself! My name's Broadway. I'm a generalist game artist (2d/3d/ui/whatever else) that dabbles in concept art. But, after getting into some concept art streams/podcasts and seeing the hard work you crazy folks put in here, I've really started to understand the gravity of of the amount of study/practice that gets people to the level I want to reach. 

I've been doing daily studies/personal work/figure drawing/what-have-you the past month, and I decided to start a sketchbook so that if any of you awesome people feel inclined, you can come help me get the most out of my ongoing studies!

Sketchbook is here:

See ya guys

I am new to this website, and thought to introduce myself. 



Anyways, I was always interested in art and when I was a young kid, I would watch science fiction movies and ask myself how they managed to create stuff like that. I eventually figured it out and started using the web for the appropriate programs.



Now my problem is that I often feel overwhelmed by all of this. There is so much to learn. I knew it wouldn't be easy, but without the help of other people, I believe it is impossible for me to learn 3D, so I started looking for tutorials and eventually found them. I paid for a lot of tutorials, but I realised that I actually learnt nothing. I don't know. It's either me being totally stupid, or I always chose the wrong tutorials..., to me, they did not really explain the steps..., so I was like "Hey, there are plenty of books, you need to check out..., maybe that is the right way for you", so I ordered some guides and started reading.



My second problem is that whenever I read a text, I encounter some stuff that I never heard of before and so I look it up..., go back to reading the book until I encounter a term I never heard of, so I look it up..., and so it goes on and on..., time flies, of course..., and then I sit there and realise that I wasted my time reading superficially about a lot of different subjects, rather than studying one text or subject thoroughly..., and then I get frustrated and stop..., try the next day..., get frustrated again and stop.



I somehow believe it maybe has to do with the fact, that I really, really, really want to learn 3D. I really have this strong desire to learn it, but somehow fail.



Then, somebody told me that to be able to do 3D, I've to learn how to draw, so I was like "okay I will" and immediately got me a sketchbook but then I started thinking what the hell to draw and how..., so I just started drawing what I saw,  the TV,  table,  I mean anything and I realised I suck. I mean everything looked so wrong, the perspective, I mean..., it was just horrible, but that's fine..., I figured out that I need to learn perspective first and that's what I am doing at the moment and I hope things will look better one day. 



I am here to share my story and maybe make friends..., I mean yea, would be awesome, lol. 



I've been checking some sketchbooks on here and my god, y'all are awesome. So I asked myself if beginners are even allowed to be here, :P



Anyways,  I typed a lot,  sorry. 

Thanks for reading and hopefully you'll give me the chance to get to know you better. 



Thanks.
