like ive said in my post before im at my 4th year the long stretch , and everything ive been taught has been self taught because my school was a shady mess and so were the teachers. ive watched Gnomon, Digital Tutors, Eat3d,Cg Academy,CGW and many more tutorials online and cannot seem to get anything out of their videos…
i have been modeling and texturing for days on end making models to show my diversity in differing props, i have been literally doing nothing but watching tutorials and trying to get the foundations which i lack off the ground. my whole break has been modeling and texturing whatever i can to make myself capable. taking in…
I can relate to your struggle with learning how to texture. I would consider myself far from a natural talent in that respect.

The reason i post the times is because that's what I've been told to do from other resources because speed and efficiency…

Preferably props and structural elements with different materials, it's good practice for you but it's also something that help an environment to feel a bit more…
Calm down man! everything will be alright :) You don't need a tutor, you just need patience! Sit down, figure out what you want to do and just work at it :) simple as that, work hard, accept crits and don't be TOO hard on yourself.
