Want to self-learn 3d, where to start so that I don't stray away?
Hello everyone, I've been following 3d for a while and have dabbled a bit for a small projects before but want to get serious and eventually get hired at a studio. Currently I'm 18 but do not think going to art school is a sound idea judging by the tuition fees and fact that I already live near a ton of huge studios.
I don't want to fall into tutorial hell and just want a steady path to follow that with time will get me a portfolio worth showing. I understand this isn't an easy path, but I'm ready for it.
I'm edging towards being a character artist/hard surface modeler, but understand that with time my interests might change and I might want to become a technical artist or another subset. I fear that bouncing around on youtube tutorials won't get me anywhere, so thought I'd ask here. Thanks!

The core skills in all art disciplines are observation and composition. You develop those skills faster with a pencil/crayon/handfuls of your own poop and a flat surface than you do trying to fight software.
