I need some assistance.
Hello, I'm here to ask you professional artist here to help me out with some kind of problems I have lately. As far as I remember correctly I started with 3d modelling, especially for the source engine, 3 years ago. In that time I mainly did mods and edits to default models or modelling some small stuff myself. I actually… -

Edited for clarity. Or in short: "I've learned how the apps work, I want to start creating art, where do I go now?" I think Greg (polyhertz) nailed it. You're discouraged because you've only tried a few times even if you've been at it for what seems like a few years, you've only scratched surface and only begun to start… -

I think that you have to go back and forth to really get it. Like an ongoing dance. Play around until you can't figure it out... then look for answers in the Docs or the… -
Re: I need some assistance.
This is a #1 rule aside from practising. Learn from your and others mistakes! You are here so look at other work, look at the comments which say whats not good etc. And if you are not here practise and post your results here again ;) Tutorials help you in your workflow and show things you might not have known. And if you… -
Re: I need some assistance.
Confirming the practice thing. From my experience tutorials can help improve your work-flow but not make you a better artist. There the onus is on you. One of the most important skills, I think, is the ability to think honestly/critically about your work - something which is difficult at first. Addition: You can't expect…
