Study group Interest?

JeremiahJensen

Hey all
Dropping a line out to see if any other beginners ( or more advanced ) are interested in starting a study group. basically a group focused on becoming better artists, pushing each other to do better and to make it into the industry eventually.

possibly make a thread for anyone in the group to post in and try to create tasks that will focus on learning the fundamentals of Game art

Hope there are some other out there that are interested !

Im interested.

just join one of the google hangouts that happens almost daily. there's nobody in there who isn't willing to help. sometimes you get people with a wealth of experience, other times you get people who're relatively new who can share your own trepidation and help guide you from the beginning steps.

but generally speaking they're a great way to motivate and educate yourself.

oh and we also have a good laugh.

i know an awesome community of super friendly 2d artists if you would like to know, Crimson Daggers. I have been studying with them for about 6 months and there are some really really good artist that are always happy to help. As for zbrush im up for working on that with you ! we'll wait and see if others are interested

Mostly penis based art though...

almighty_gir

Alberto Rdrgz

I'd definitely be up for this!
I haven't been on a google hangout before, but I understand it's about streaming and chatting together right?
The benefit of an actual group is we can review our work at any time, and we have deadlines to complete to.
So yeah, let's make this happen

yeah that is the good part about a structured group, we can make a thread for us 3 and begin working out tasks that we can all do and learn from. I also imagine that once we are doing it other beginners will want to join in
