Re: [TUTORIAL] 15 Tips To Improve As An Artist
I found a really good post and comment on reddit.com/r/gamedev that might help some people think about their time a little differently. Original Post -Full time employees, where do you find the time to work on your projects?- I'm going to pre-face this with: don't say, "I do it at work" or "get a job where you can get away… -
Re: [TUTORIAL] 15 Tips To Improve As An Artist
^ This, so much this. I'm in college right now and I have this experience all the time. There's a lot of pressure to deal with. I'm still learning how to cope with it and take a lot of the pressure off of myself and instead, purely focus on improving. A part of that is taking a step back from work and relaxing for a little… -
Re: [TUTORIAL] 15 Tips To Improve As An Artist
I really wish there were more light on this issue. I feel like improving in art is like leveling up in an MMO, and any time you're not leveling up hurts your chances of getting a raid spot...or in this case a job. I feel like a pile of crap for playing games for even just an hour, or going out on the weekends, like I don't… -
Re: [TUTORIAL] 15 Tips To Improve As An Artist
Thanks for writing this up! It can be really difficult for me to stop working sometimes. I'm definitely one of those people that can be manipulated into working extra hours if I'm not careful. I used to have to remind myself about #2 on a daily basis. My first crunch time was horrible; 12-14 hour days, 7 days a week, over… -

Re: [TUTORIAL] 15 Tips To Improve As An Artist
I'd like to add that I think it's important to keep old work and look back at it sometimes, as it can be difficult to see the improvement in yourself because invariably it's so gradual... For instance if you're having a bad day or think your work sucks, it can be motivating to look back and see how far you've come. I'd… -
Re: [TUTORIAL] 15 Tips To Improve As An Artist
Thanks man for the post. It really inspired me to start doing 3D again. I just recently got a job (not doing 3D unfortunately) and I have almost completely neglected 3D art for some time now and because i come home tired from work I don't want to do anything. But this thread really helped me get back into the mood and… -
Re: [TUTORIAL] 15 Tips To Improve As An Artist
xerious3d That's true. Whenever my wife and I go on vacation, I unplug (well, other than Facebook on my phone). I get immersed in whatever we're doing or wherever we are and I don't think about work at all. It's amazingly good for the brain! You come back champing at the bit to get back at it... On a smaller scale, I've… -
Re: [TUTORIAL] 15 Tips To Improve As An Artist
Thanks for the share. I heavily agree with Dustin's comment about balancing ones health since our career as artists tilts our health habits to one side of the scale. On an adding note, i wanted to stress how just taking real breaks every now and then is ultra useful and healthy. Either a vacation or just a weekend hike and… -
