Finding inspiration and what practice model (student)
polycounter lvl 5
I'm having trouble at the moment finding what to work on next. I'm aiming for an environnement because i think it is the next step after all the props i have been doing.
I want to become a proper environnement/prop artist with the skil sets that come with it and later try and dabble in character art if i like it. I'm also trying to developpe some skills in concepting because it is something i have always wanted to do.
Here is some of my stuff that i have done so far: (!From latest to oldest!)

And here is some high poly stuff that i took a break from because i realized that you need at least some base human model for armor and i have no character skills:
I would like to try and do some more organic stuff because i have mainly done hard surface atm. I was thinking of doing the exterior of a scottish cottage in the highlands and then if i was motivated to follow up on with the interior.
The biggest problem i have is that because i am teaching myself and not going to art school, i don't know if my practicing is getting me anywhere. I did sign up to digital tutors for a few months and learn't a LOT from them and greatly improved what i now know but since my subscription has ended i feel like i'm stagnating.
What do you guys think i should try and challenge myself with/learn next based on the few models i have to show ?
I know this is a very broad and vague question but it does reflect my state of mind since i'm at a loss on what to do next.
PS: If i wasn't clear enough please say so because i often suck at asking questions

Mobile games, especially from Korea and Taiwan and China these days have some real awesome character design. Search Pinterest I'm sure you'll find tons that will inspire you to no end.
Keep at it and try to challenge yourself with every new project
Yeah Pinterest and Artstation are great.
