Discussion: Art skill development

[mekare]

Since we are in between challenges atm, I’d be interested in what you are all working on. Do you have a specific skill you are trying to learn? A technique or new medium? A subject matter you haven’t portrayed a lot? Is making time for your art a challenge right now?

What are your personal challenges right now or your successes?

I started to learn a new program, Blender3D. I want to expand my skill, and I acquired a course from one of the certified teachers... I hope to be able to get something productive out of it!

Blender looks interesting- I like that it’s open source. Good luck!

I like it too! I'm one of the three people in Italy that use Linux for drawing and graphic design, haha!

I'm still at the beginning of the modeling tools, and I like how it is so far -- many, many versions ago Blender had the notoriety of having a difficult interface, but now it seems to me as really logic and flowing. Granted, for a thing as complex as a 3D program!

(But my frame of reference is 3Dstudio, DOS version, which was a nightmare in the form of a 3D program, so everything from that is easier by default)
